Chapter 119



“I was feeling a little tired, so I went outside to rest. I’m going in now, come on.”

Joseph nodded slightly, then grabbed the collar of Noah’s clothes and reminded him, “You can’t go in the women’s locker room, let go.”

Noah reluctantly let go of the hands holding Hayden’s collar and let Joseph lead him into the men’s locker room.

After making sure Joseph had entered the locker room, Hayden went in the opposite direction. He walked through the women’s locker room toward the exit and found a clear view. Then, he crouched down as he opened the camera on his phone. He stifled a laugh and pointed the camera toward the entrance to the men’s locker room.

Joseph soon emerged as he took Noah by the hand.

They were both wearing black bathing suits and a towel hung around Joseph’s neck.

He hadn’t walked a few steps when he was stopped by a young woman.

“Coach, do you have any new swim trunks here? Mine’s a little tight and I didn’t bring a spare.”

Joseph frowned, “You’ve got the wrong person, I’m not a coach.”

“Oh?” The young woman was stunned for a moment, “You’re not, who are you then?”.

“I am…”.

Joseph was about to answer when he saw the situation in the pool. Apart from the boys and the male coach on the other side who was teaching a girl to swim, the rest were all women. To be precise, they were mothers of all ages.

She furrowed her eyebrows fiercely.

“Hey, coach, come take a look – is my son’s swimming stance correct?”.

“Look at mine first.”

“My daughter…”.

“…”.

Seeing these mothers in the pool surrounding Joseph like a swarm, Hayden laughed so hard he could barely stand up. The phone he held in his hands was shaking too.

The biggest difference between the pool and the gym was that there were enough trainers in the gym that they could distribute their work evenly, but there weren’t many in the pool, so it was mostly first come, first served. These rich women would definitely not spend their husbands’ money so openly to look for men at the nightclub, so it was not strange to see them taking advantage of the trainers in a place like the gym and pool.

His stomach hurt from laughing so hard as he sent the video to Alayna.

She sent a voice message, “I’m sure Joseph hasn’t been here before.

The best stories are at gⱯlnσν𝒆𝓁s․𝒄𝗈𝗆 Otherwise, why would he choose to attend such a weird swim class with a bunch of ladies and middle-aged women? Have you seen the look on his face? It’s so funny…”.

There was a quick response from Alayna: “I don’t get your joke at all, but I wonder what kind of destiny there is between the two of you. It’s a godsend that the two of you meet by chance when you accompany the kids to swimming lessons.”

“What do you mean by blessing? Sounds more like an unfortunate relationship to me. Have you left already? I’ll wait for you at the pool entrance. It’s too hot here.”

After responding to Alayna, he clicked back on the video and watched the embarrassment on Joseph’s face as he was surrounded by a bunch of mothers. Then, he went back to laughing in the hallway.

Alayna hadn’t seen Joseph many times, so she didn’t know how cold he usually was. She couldn’t laugh at Hayden’s joke because she didn’t understand the contrast in Joseph’s behavior.

He didn’t get Alayna’s response after a while, so he went back to the lobby of the indoor pool because it was air-conditioned inside. As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into the massive chest of a man.

“Ahh…” She held her nose and exclaimed. As soon as she looked up, she saw the ghastly expression on Joseph’s face and her heart immediately sank.

How had she forgotten about this?

“Why, why did you go out?” Hayden asked.

“What do you think?” Joseph stared at her as his eyes were as if filled with anger, “Aren’t you going inside after taking a short break, why didn’t I see you inside and you came back out?”.

“I… hehehehe.” Hayden smiled, “I was still feeling tired, so I regretted it when I went into the locker room and came back out.”

“Really?” Joseph pulled out his phone and opened his chat interface. “If you came out as soon as you walked in, how did this video get recorded then?”.

When Hayden saw Kevin’s name, she was certain that Alayna had betrayed her. She immediately closed her eyes and felt ashamed.

A pious rival might kill you, but a goose companion would make you kill yourself.

“Well, any explanation?” Joseph picked up his phone again and his face was grim, “Is it fun to let me come in and watch me take on these people?”

Hayden smiled bitterly. “Even if I didn’t say anything, you’d still come in, right? And what’s wrong with these people? Are you putting down housewives? Because I don’t see any problem with it.”

This woman was still not admitting her mistake at this point. Joseph held his breath as he became angry. He directly grabbed Hayden’s hand and walked out of the pool.

“Hey, where are you taking me?”.

“…”.

No matter how Hayden struggled, Joseph didn’t let go. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the passenger seat of his car. Then he stepped on the gas and drove quickly.

He hadn’t been tricked like this since he’d been born, and he’d never encountered such an embarrassing situation. If Stella hadn’t moved through the crowd and called out to him, those desperate women would have touched his whole body.

“Where exactly are you taking me?” Hayden put his hand on the seat and she was startled by his driving speed.

If she’d known earlier that he couldn’t take a joke, she wouldn’t have done it in the first place. What if he was really angry and did something to her? She would have paid for her own actions.

“I’m going home to take a bath.”

Hearing this, Hayden immediately thought of Kevin’s response at the end of the talk, “A neat freak like you will definitely wash a layer of his skin off when he gets home.”

“Why did you bring me if you were going home to take a shower?”. Hayden was a little startled.

Joseph looked at her intently, “Since you caused the consequences, you’ll have to clean up the mess yourself.”

When they arrived at the door of the Beckham Villa, Hayden was dragged inside the house by him. He dismissed all the servants and pulled her into the bathroom.

“What are you doing? Open the door; let me out.”

Hayden tugged anxiously at the door handle, but could not open it at all. She didn’t know what method she had used to lock them in the bathroom.

Joseph didn’t mind her fiddling with the doorknob as she turned on the bathtub faucet. Then he took off his shirt and threw it on the floor, exposing his muscular body.

The sound of a belt unbuckling echoed in the bathroom.

“Ahh… What are you doing?” Hayden shouted and covered his eyes, “Behave, I was just messing with you. They didn’t do anything to you. What you’re doing now is illegal. I’m telling you, Joseph, don’t think that…”.

He waved his hands randomly as he spat out these words in panic. Then suddenly he heard the sound of someone entering the water echoing in the bathroom. Other than that, there was nothing else.

She reluctantly opened her eyes and saw clothes and pants on the floor. A man had sat in the tub with his back to Hayden. His voice was gravelly, “Aren’t you thinking too hard?”

Joseph turned around slowly and his strong arms rested haphazardly on the edge of the marble tub. Droplets of water dripped as his eyes mocked her. “You let so many women take advantage of me, so you think I’ll do the same to you?”.
