Chapter 259



.

“It’s just a guess.” Benjamin spoke seriously, “But I think it’s very possible.”

Joseph was notorious for not getting close to women in City N. However, Violet had been by his side for five or six years. Aside from the fact that she knew how to behave and was very intelligent, there must have been someone to guide her. Otherwise, just because of her status in show business, it would be impossible for Harrison to let her in and out of the Beckham Mansion with dignity.

After thinking about this, Hayden trembled with fear.

He thought that even Joseph probably didn’t know.

Seeing Hayden’s worried face, Benjamin smiled easily.

“Don’t think about it, I’ll go check when I have time. But if it’s really so, I’ll ask you to remind him to pay attention to Violet.” Hayden regained consciousness and blushed slightly.

“Why would I want to remind her?”

Benjamin said nothing. He merely glanced meaningfully at the bedroom door. His gaze settled on the floor beneath the door, which showed the silhouette of a person. “It’s getting late. Hayden, I’m going to rest. If I stay here any longer, I’m afraid someone’s going to break down the door.”

Hayden was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand what she was talking about.

“Okay, then go back to your room.”

After Benjamin left, Hayden continued to sit in his room thinking about everything.

If Violet was really in cahoots with Franklin, was she being honest with Franklin? How much had she contributed to Franklin’s return to the ST Group?

As she thought about it, she didn’t notice a figure enter her room.

It was only when she heard the soft sound of the door closing that she regained consciousness and looked back nervously. She saw Joseph already standing in the room, wearing a smart new shirt and beige casual pants. His hair was still wet and his body smelled of jasmine shower gel.

Without waiting for Hayden to speak, he opened his mouth first.

“I can’t find the dryer.”

“Okay.” Hayden froze for a moment, “The dryer is next to my bed. I’ll bring it to you later.”

“No need, I can look for it. You can sit down.” With that, Joseph made his way to the head of the bed.

As he passed Hayden, a breeze blew and the fragrance of jasmine flowers grew even stronger.

Hayden didn’t realize what he was doing for a moment.

Why had he closed the door to bring in the dryer?

“The dryer is in the top drawer.” Hayden told him.

Joseph sat down next to the bed and gently opened the drawer. He didn’t rush to get the dryer out, but looked at the drawer for a long time without moving.

“What’s the matter, isn’t the dryer in there?”

The lamp on the bedside table illuminated a corner of the drawer. Hayden walked over to the bedside table and saw an unlocked blue box in the drawer, she felt very embarrassed as she blushed….

The word ‘Condoms’ was clearly written on the blue rectangular box.

Damn it, why hadn’t she thrown them out before?

Joseph looked at her calmly, “Is this the box we hadn’t used?”.

What kind of question was that?

Hayden smiled while showing a cold expression. “Sure, or else what would it be? What do you mean, you thought I had used it on other men after I broke up with you?”.

Joseph paused showing a puzzled look, “I didn’t mean that. I remembered that I used to be able to use one box at a time. Therefore, I thought I hadn’t used it.”

Hayden’s face flushed and was as red as an apple. He pulled the hairdryer out of the drawer in a hurry, saying incoherently, “Will you stop talking? Take the dryer and get out of here.”

The more anxious she got, the more mistakes she made.

The box of condoms slipped out of the drawer and fell to the floor after the dryer cord pulled the box.

Hayden’s expression had changed a bit, as he didn’t know if he should pick up the box or not.

He watched Joseph out of the corner of his eye. Somehow he remembered the sweet kiss at the entrance of the supermarket. Suddenly she felt an inexplicable itch in her heart, as if a thousand ants had crawled in.

How could this man come back without blushing after kissing her for about ten minutes, and still go to her room to ask for a hair dryer? How could he still be so calm when he saw the condoms they hadn’t used before?

What was wrong with him?

Compared to Hayden, who was nervous, Joseph was extremely calm. He bent down and picked up the box of condoms and handed it to Hayden while holding out his other hand.

“What are you doing?” Hayden backed up a step as if facing a great enemy.

Joseph’s expression was calm as he said a simple and concise phrase, “Give me the dryer.”

The room grew tense for a few seconds. Hayden who was very embarrassed quickly tossed him the hair dryer.

“And this.” Joseph took the box and handed it to her insistently, as if he was toying with her, “It’s yours.”

At that moment, Hayden felt it was truly a miracle that she didn’t go crazy.

At first he tried to suppress his anger to take the box from her. However, just as her fingers were about to touch the box, she suddenly lost her temper and grabbed it quickly. He slammed it hard against Joseph.

“Is it funny for you to play with me like that, are you crazy?”.

Hayden became very angry on the spot. Suddenly, he roared out all the grievances he had been holding in for the past few days. He was shaking with rage, “You play the victim and ask me to come to your house to cook dinner for Noah. Okay, I went for the sake of the child, but you were showing affection to your fiancée and sarcastically said that I wasn’t decent enough to be your wife. You also said you couldn’t afford to mess with me and could only hide from me. Now you have come straight to my house, I have let you spend the night here, but you have humiliated me over and over again. Do you want to use this avenue to prove that you are capable enough and that any woman who would let you would still pine for you?”

Joseph looked at her. His cold brows tinged with disagreement, but he said nothing to deny her assertion.

Hayden guessed then that he had agreed to her assertion. She became even more furious. She grabbed a pillow directly and punched him, “You’re a psycho pervert. Get the hell out of here…”.

The pillow and comforter lightly hit Joseph’s body, who felt no pain.

After throwing all the things around her at Joseph, Hayden was panting as she was exhausted. His hand was shaking as he pointed at Joseph.

“You mean you’re still pining for me?”.

Joseph stirred the pillows and blankets, he was still sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Hayden seriously as if he was unaffected by seeing her angry. Hayden felt disgust at seeing his level-headed, calm gaze.

“No!” She denied loudly, “Anyone who pines for you is a fool.”

“So, what are you doing now?” Joseph asked him.

Hayden was still wearing the same casual shirt he had put on when he came out a moment ago. He was wearing baggy pants and a light blue sweater. She had half of her shoulders exposed because she was too excited. She kept panting and her breasts were heaving with her.

What was she doing now if she wasn’t pining for him and too worried about what he would say or do to her?

After fooling herself for a long time, she thought she was sensible enough. However, she didn’t expect the people around her to clearly notice her bad behavior.
