Chapter 331 Stefan'S Mother
Chapter 331 Stefan'S Mother
These days, Hayden had some spare time to look after Stella with the soup cooked by herself, who
saved Stefan.
“Is he not here again?” Hayden looked around, “Does he disappear since the day I left? How can he be
so rude?”
Stella shook her head, “He has been here several times in the evening because he has to continue the
drill. Although it’s not necessary for our team to participate it, Stefan was called back to the school to
provide the details of the case. It takes him a lot of time.”
“I know you must speak for him.”
Hayden shook the head, opened the lunch-box and poured some nutrient soup into the bowl to Stella,
“It’s fresh and delicious.”
Stella smiled and teased, “It’s lucky of your boyfriend to have such a lover.”
“Oh, really?” Hayden was astounded.
“Your dishes taste great. If I were a man, I would have a crush on you.”
“Thank you. I think you can marry a cook with the same cooking skills.”
Hearing this, Stella paused and widened her eyes, “Oh, you are right.”
Hayden was amused by her reaction, turning on the TV.
It was reporting the news about the warehouse.
“So far, we have gone further on the case, drug trafficking of the warehouse of the Joann Group. This
time, the total weight of drugs reaches…”
This case attracted huge attentions from the citizens in Nanking, which was reported by the local media
many times in the three days, because not only the quantity of drugs was so huge, but also this anti-
drug action was carried out by several students of the University of Public and Security.
The list of the key figures in it was becoming so increasingly longer that all the owners of a place of
entertainment were frightened.
“Oh, I remember that what you found at first were piles of cartoon watches, so where’s the drug? Is it
inside the watch?”
Hayden asked curiously.
Stella was having the soup, and then answered, “I was not there. But a member told me that all the
drugs were hidden in the belts of watches, which turned out to be hollow. Each of the watches
contained a dose for a person.”
The drugs were hidden so secretly that nobody would ever have doubts on the toys if Hayden and
Dante discovered some drugs before.
When they were talking, someone knocked at the door.
“Excuse me. Is Stella here?”
Hayden and Stella looked back to find an elegant lady in a blue coat with a light-tan scarf on the neck.
She had her hair tied severely in a bun as well. Although she was more than fifty years old, she looked
like a woman at her thirties.
She was not known by Stella but Hayden recognized her, asked surprisingly,
“Mrs. Beckham.”
The lady was the owner of the Maple Sugar Inn in the Lanxi Town, also Joseph’s mother.
At the sight of Hayden, Mrs. Beckham was shocked as well.
The room was silent strangely, but Stella asked without any hesitation, “I am Stella. Why do you find
me?”
Mrs. Beckham entered the ward and put the basket of fruits brought by her on the desk. She looked at
Hayden and then said to Stella, “I am Stefan’s mother. I was told that you got hurt because of Stefan.”
Hearing this, Hayden was stupefied.
Stefan was her son so Joseph was Stefan’s elder brother.
Besides, Joseph’s father was not the one of Stefan’s.
Hayden’s mind was in great confusion, looking at Mrs. Beckham in surprise.
But Stella had no idea what Hayden was thinking about. She stared at the lady,
“You are his mother?”
The lady nodded, “Yes. He told me that he was so busy in the school so I was asked to look after you
these days. So I will stay here if you agree, and if not, I will find you a good carer.”
“I totally agree!” Stella nodded quickly.
Stella was pretty pleased by Stefan’s decision, which, she thought, meant that she was an important
person to him.
Hayden left the ward and paced at the door while the other two kept talking.
What she heard just now was so shocking that she didn’t know what to do. Should she tell it to Joseph?
Actually, she was told little about the Beckham’s by Joseph for several times. She remembered that his
father’s car accident had something to do with Joseph’s mother who was expelled from the family for
she had affairs with another man.
It could be calculated that Mrs. Beckham was already pregnant when she left the family for Stefan was
now 19 years old.
Then she was not sure whether it’s just a coincidence that Stefan knew nothing of it and lived with
them.
Suddenly, the door was opened by Mrs. Beckham.
The lady asked Stella to take a good rest. At the moment she closed the door, she became solemn and
stared at Hayden.
“You are waiting for me.” She said.
Hayden frowned, “Mrs. Beckham, I know that I should not ask but… I have to make sure whether
Joseph and Stefan were brothers or not.”
“Yes, you are right.” The lady looked at her with a blank face. “It you are available, let’s have a good
talk in a quiet place. Here’s too noisy. ”
She said slowly and leisurely, not like the selfish woman described by Joseph.
Hayden was rather confused and she decided to talk with her to find the ultimate answer.
There’s a quiet coffee shop near the hospital, which was observed carefully by Mrs. Beckham who
smiled at her elegantly.
“It’s been years for me to come to the center of the city since I was away. The style now was very
different from the one when I was young. I guess that young people now are obsessed by this kind. Do
you suggest me to change the inn’s style as well?” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Hayden looked around to find that this shop was simple and neat with little decoration, different from
Mrs. Beckham’s Maple Sugar Inn.
“I think there must be customers fond of your style. And there’s no need to change anything.”
“Oh, thank you!” Mrs. Beckham smiled shyly and took a deep breath, “Welcome you there. Stefan must
brother you these days.”
Hayden asked her with hesitation, “I wonder if you know that Stefan has been in touch with Joseph.
Does he do that deliberately?”
Hayden was uneasy because she didn’t believe that Stefan was innocent. And it’s she that brought
Stefan to Joseph due to the accident which might be designed y Stefan.
