Chapter 253: You Must Get Married


    “I really didn’t intend to hurt the two kids at first. She told me to cause a smoke ident, and then it


    would just be fine for me going in to carry Noah out. But I didn’t expect such arge fire urred and


    burned down the entire kitchen. I was terrified just thinking about it then. I would never be at ease for


    the rest of my life if I didn’t have bitten the bullet going in to bring Noah out of the fire.”


    Addison Sanchez seemed to be gun-shy when mentioning the incident back then.


    Hayden eyed her thoughtfully.


    “So Vi was using you to frame me for not saving Noah deliberately. On the other hand, if Noah was


    dead, Joseph would only end up tracing to you as he got angry and investigated it. You have no


    evidence to prove that Vi did this, because she was abroad attending a film festival at the time of the


    ident.”


    Addison nodded with aplicated look, “I was careless.”


    Hayden took a deep breath, shuddering.


    Addison had no reason to lie, but Vi did have the motive to frame her.


    If Vi did n the fire and instigate Addison to do it, then all the suspicions that Hayden had


    previously suspected would be valid.


    For example, how could Addison, a pampered youngdy, condescend collude with the kitchen pastry


    chef to harm the two kids? And how could she suddenly rush into the fire to save Noah at thest


    minute, despite her strange behaviour being suspected too?


    Hayden hardly needed to think much before she believed what Addison said.


    Vi indeed had the nerve to do this. She was different from Addison. Vi started working in the


    entertainment industry at about the age of seventeen. She had seen all kinds of dirty deals, and she


    knew many lowlifes. She could do such things.


    “So, can you trust me now?” Addison asked Hayden, “I’ve been uneasy for this time, and I always feel


    that Joseph had known it, but he just didn’t make it clear to me. I really can’t stand this feeling


    anymore. I don’t want to go on like this. I want to do something to make everything back to what it was


    supposed to be.”


    “So you want me to reconcile with Joseph, just like everything before you show up?”


    “Yes.”


    “Not likely.” Hayden heaved a sigh slowly, and she leaned back in the chair, feeling at ease, “I believe


    what you said just now. But there’s more than just this issue between me and Joseph. Since you knew


    Noah and Ste’s identities, then you should know that it is veryplicated and not that simple.”


    “Why don’t you just tell Joseph? I can tell that he really likes you. If you told him that you are Noah’s


    biological mother, and he still has a daughter too, wouldn’t that be happy for you all? This way, it


    wouldn’t have left the door open for someone like Vi.”


    Addison was thinking it too simple, and she seemed to be keen to make this happened.


    “I haven’t thought about it yet, but he will know.” Hayden gave a stiff smile, “Until then, I hope you can


    keep it a secret for me.”


    When Hayden and Joseph came together, she didn’t know Joseph was the man back then. After


    countless envisaging it, how could she have fallen in love with him if she had foreseen it in advance?


    Addison hesitated for a moment and said with certainty, “I’ll definitely not say it. I was hesitated to say it


    previously, but after dragging it out for a long time, I didn’t dare to say it anymore. You knew too that


    what I’m going to say will involve Vi. Although I think Joseph might have known that the fire was


    rted to me, I’m afraid that the two of us won’t even be friends anymore after saying it openly.”


    Hayden had expected such a reply.


    Everyone wished the person they once loved looked perfect in their eyes.


    “Then, I’ll keep this.” Hayden let out a sigh of relief and tapped on the kraft paper bag, “Thank you for


    asking me out to talk about this today.”


    “I’m the one who owes you an apology.” Addison pursed her lips and crossed her fingers on the table,


    feeling a bit awkward, “Actually, I’m just used to relying on Joseph. I thought a lot about it after I came


    back, and my brother also enlightened me several times. I figured it out and hope you don’t mind what I


    did before.”


    Hayden smiled, “You didn’t do anything either.”


    Compared to what Vi did, but so far, Addison paid only lip service.


    Addison was just a spoiled little princess. Although her working performance was quite well and she


    looked pretty too, she was a bit muddleheaded when it came to rtionship issues. Otherwise, she


    wouldn’t have met with the failure of herst marriage.


    The two buried the hatchet by shaking hands, and they had a peaceful lunch together unexpectedly.


    “So when are you going to France?”


    “Why? Rushing me away so fast?” Addison smiled derisively, “Afraid that I regret it?”


    “I’m just scared that the things you did before would be dug up if you stay here too long.”


    Hayden gave Addison a nk look, “Didn’t you say that Vi make you to listen to her?”


    “She’s just a C-list celebrity, and with the help of my brother giving her a shove, she won’t be that easy


    scraping around in the entertainment industry. Till then, will she even be free to talk to me about the


    cooperation? It’s ridiculous.”


    Addison curled her lips with a contempt look when mentioning Vi.


    “I’ll be leaving at the end of this month. You cane to see me off then, and Joseph would definitely


    be shocked.”


    “He’d be shocked?”


    Hayden shook her head, “I’ve never seen more than three expressions on his face.”


    “Have a try.”


    Hayden was speechless.


    …


    In the living room of the Beckham’s old mansion, the chessboard was set up, with Harrison Beckham


    and Joseph sitting on each side.


    “After ying this game, you go to the Sanchez family and invite Addison’s parents over. I want to


    discuss with them about the engagement date tonight.”


    Joseph sat up straight, “I didn’t n to get engaged with Addison. You overthink it.”


    “Aren’t you together with Addison now? What do you want to do if you don’t get engaged? I’m telling


    you, the Sanchez family has already known your matter with Hayden. They will only feel at ease once


    you get engaged with Addison.”


    “Then forget it.” Joseph ced a white disc, blocking Harrison’s attack, “I do not intend to get engaged


    with Addison. I didn’t say it during lunch as there were so many people and I was afraid that you would


    be embarrassed. Addison is just a sister to me.”


    “A sister?”


    Harrison frowned and raised his head, “That’s not what you told me before.”


    “What did I tell you?” Joseph had a stern look.


    “You…” Harrison thought for a moment, but it was true. Although Joseph and Addison were always


    hanging together during this time, Joseph didn’t mention anything about their rtionship.

    “This is nonsense!”


    Harrison pped the table, with the discs on the board jumping, “You think I’m senile, and you can just


    muddle through? You must get married by the end of this year.”
