President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 148

“Stop messing around. Benjamin hasn't graduated yet, and he still can’t remember the events that have happened before. He might already have a girlfriend.”

Hayden knew Alayna’s behaviour well. Once she started paying attention to a male adult, she was probably thinking in that aspect.

Kevin might be a player, but if they were to compare, they were just at the same level.

“Why are you acting like my mother?” Alayna stared at her, "I was just asking you about it. Why do you look like someone is going to steal your thing away?”

“You mean pig.”

“Who are you referring to, huh? You're the pig.” Alayna threw a pillow to her, “Is it wrong to look at handsome guys? What's wrong with it if I yearn for the body of a young man?”

"Forget it. Do you think I don’t know you? You couldn’t stand the test of time at all. You must have watched a Korean drama about the romance of a cradle snatcher. Come on, I think Kevin treats you really well. He listened to your words."

“He listens to every woman.”

When they mentioned Kevin, Alayna immediately looked degraded. She withdrew her gaze from the kitchen, "A leopard cannot change its spots."

“What's wrong? Did he mess with another woman again? I thought you two were doing well lately.”

"Even if he doesn’t mess with them, it doesn't mean no one will take the initiative to approach him. He’s not a clean-living and honest man like Joseph. Did you really expect a womaniser like him would get out of the silt untainted? Everyone is an adult now. Who doesn’t know how to live a calm life? They just have to pretend not to see or hear anything.”

Hayden felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at the way that Alayna was not concerned about anything.

“Alayna, sometimes the past is in the past now. We have to always look forward. You shouldn’t be afraid to have expectations towards the future. You mustn’t keep everything to yourself and pretended not to care about anything. After all, those things wouldn’t happen again.”

Alayna tightly held her fist and felt tense, “It’s not that I can’t get over the past. You’ve seen my life at that time. The future of others was in their own hands, but mine wasn’t. Hence, I shouldn’t look forward to the future and gave others too much expectation too. I’ll be fine as long as I’m happy right now."

“Maybe it wouldn’t recur again? You didn’t have a recurrence in three years, wasn’t it?

Hayden held her hand in an instant and her hands were really cold, as if there wasn’t any heat at all.

“You’ve said it yourself too. It’s just maybe.”

Alayna looked calm. Her cunning eyes were filled with too much stories at this moment. Only a few people in the world knew about her past. It was a past that embarrassed her enough to affect the rest of her life.

After a long moment of silence, Hayden saw Kevin seriously picking the edible part of the vegetables in the kitchen. She turned around to ask Alayna,

“So are you going to tell him?”

Alayna shook her head and blinked.

“Why tell him that? Who knows we might break up after dinner?”

Hayden sighed and felt sorrow for her.

The hot pot was soon ready.

In three days’ time, her house was full of air conditioning, and the ingredients in the pot were steaming.

Stella stopped avoiding food to eat since she was three years old, so she could stand eating spicy food. However, Noah was different. He tasted a sliced of cow meat and tears immediately streamed down his eyes.

"Cough, cough..."

The little guy coughed a lot, so Hayden quickly gave him some water and he finally managed to relieve the spiciness. The little guy refused to stay on the table anymore. He took a box of chocolates and went back to his room. Then, Stella took two more bites and followed him too.

“Just like his father, this kid can't eat spicy at all.” Kevin teased,

“When Joseph was still a child, he always looked stern like an old man. He didn't like to talk to me too. On an April Fool's Day one year, the friends that he was playing with gave him a cookie with chilli sauce. He obviously felt it was spicy, but he still acted like he could stand it. Lastly, it was fortunate that I found out about it and he was directly sent to the hospital’s emergency room.”
