Chapter 299

“If Benjamin decides not to go with me, maybe Joey from corporate could go too.”

“Have you even considered Joey?”. Joseph’s face darkened. “What are you thinking about when you talk in front of me about other men you could take to a party?”.

Hearing his sullen voice, Hayden realized he’d gotten himself into serious trouble.

The next second, they exchanged positions. Joseph pressed Hayden against the pillow, looking down at her.

“It’s not what you think.” Hayden pushed his chest, “Don’t be mad, I thought you were embarrassed, that’s why I asked for your advice.”

“So you want me to help you choose a male escort?”. He said in a mournful tone.

Hayden replied.

“If you’re not going, I’ll have to find someone to go with me.”

“Did I say I’m not going?”. Joseph looked at her. The comforter over his shoulder was like a mountain, which made Hayden unable to move.

He was worried he’d be made fun of at the party, so he thought hard. But he misunderstood her.

Hayden said regretfully, “I worry about you, but you…”.

Seeing Joseph’s aggressive look, she suddenly felt hurt and swallowed what she hadn’t said. She turned her head and said, “Forget it, whatever I say won’t make sense.”

Joseph was stunned for a moment and slowly lay down beside her. When he wanted to hug her again, she resisted. She didn’t want to talk to him.

Thinking about her situation now, Joseph regretted his bad attitude.

“I know you worry about me, but I worry more about our own life. If we weren’t in love, I wouldn’t care who you go to the party with. But we’re a couple now, so your male escort won’t be any man other than me.”

Hayden didn’t give her an answer, so she walked over and said in a deep voice, “I’m worried that you don’t love me, that’s why it bothers me so much that you talk about other men. But a business party is not as simple as you think, I will worry a lot about you if I am not with you.”

Hayden was still silent. Just when Joseph had nothing to do, she said hoarsely, “But we can’t take Noah and Stella.”

The worry in Joseph’s eyes vanished in an instant. “You said Benjamin has time.”

At his words, Hayden turned around and said accusingly. “Do you really consider Benjamin a babysitter?”.

“Isn’t he?” Joseph raised his eyebrows.

Benjamin followed Hayden around every day, with the fair excuse of protecting her and investigating. In fact, Joseph knew that Benjamin liked Hayden. But for Joseph, while Benjamin was protecting Hayden, he could also protect his children.

At 7:30 the next night, AW’s business party was held on the top floor of the LF Building, the most luxurious hotel in the city of N City. There was a long red carpet outside the hotel and most of the attendees were members of the social elite.

The AW Group was a media company, so many stars were also invited. Journalists were proud to have an invitation, and those who didn’t were not allowed into the hotel.

Hayden and Joseph walked the red carpet holding hands. With a smile on their faces, they whispered to each other.

“This business party turned into a film festival. Cleveland doesn’t have to be so excessive if he wants to make Freddie a star.” Joseph thought for a while.

“It’s not just for Freddie. This way, AW will be more popular. The movie industry has been skyrocketing in the last few years, so they’ve done well. It’s quite eye-catching.”

“Why doesn’t she go public with her love with Freddie, so it won’t be more flashy?”. Hayden curved his lips into a small smile.
