President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free
Chapter 45: She’s Here with Me
“Stella.” Hayden’s voice became deeper. She gazed at the little girl motionlessly.
“Do you think it’s appropriate to do so?”
Stella pursed her lips, feeling a sense of guilty.
Usually if her mother spoke to her in this way, it meant she really got angry.
“Mommy.”
Stella tugged at her sleeve. “I just want to play with Noah for a bit longer.”
Hayden still stared at her solemnly.
“I know, but what time is it now? Haven’t I told you to mind your manners before coming here? You can play with Noah, but you can’t linger around or refuse to go home. This is the most basic courtesy.”
When she was scolding Stella, Noah suddenly crawled to her and held one of her legs, holding the drawing board in the other hand.
Hayden felt that her left leg was tightly gripped. Looking down, she saw the words written on the drawing board raised high in Noah’s hand: “I want Stella to stay.”
“Noah.” Hayden frowned and didn’t know what to say at the moment. It seemed that she could never refuse Noah’s requests.
“Noah, I have to go now. It’s really too late. Next time I’ll bring Stella over and play with you again when I have time, alright?”
Seeing that Hayden still insisted, Noah became anxious. He hurriedly wrote another line on the drawing board, and then dragged Joseph’s pants, asking his father to read his words.
“If you don’t make Stella and Aunt Hayden stay, I won’t eat.”
Joseph was taken aback, feeling a sudden fluctuation in his heart.
He hesitated, looked at Hayden, and said, “How about staying here tonight? We have a room for you and Stella.”
Hayden was startled. “Well, I don’t think it’s appropriate.”
