The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 302

Lucas shuddered as it had been many years since he had seen Hayden acting so viciously.

Madam Dawson's death back then had left a huge impact on Hayden. He couldn't even bear seeing Jospeh because he would be reminded of her death, and thus he had sent Jospeh abroad at such a young age.

He had said that it was for Jospeh to have a better future on the surface. But Lucas knew that deep down, Hayden was afraid to look at Jospeh's eyes that resembled his wife's.

Therefore, Hayden would never allow Jospeh and Paige to be together. However, it seemed like Jospeh would never leave Paige either.

Lucas felt that Jospeh was rather pitiful. He thought for a moment.

"Sir, why don't you tell Sir Jospeh the cause of Madam Dawson's death? His feelings for Paige might waver even though they're extremely close right now, once he knew that Paige was indirect cause of his mum's death."

"You think I don't want to?" Hayden sneered.

"I would not have let Natalie die with a proper burial back then, but Archer didn't agree with me! He threatened me for Natalie!"

Lucas suddenly became silent when Archer had been mentioned.

He knew how deep Archer's obsession with Natalie was. He would have never given up on Natalie and

married Savannah if that incident hadn't happened.

Savannah was willing to starve herself for Archer as she would rather die than not be able to be with him. Therefore, Hayden had to hide everything for the sake of his daughter's happiness.

Lucas's heart sank a little as he couldn't point out who was right and who was wrong in this mess.

Hayden and Jospeh were both unwilling to give in. All the hidden truths would be exposed one day. Once the truth about Natalie being the cause of Madam Dawson's death had been revealed, Jospeh and Paige's relationship would be affected.

Lucas felt a little uncomfortable once he thought about this result. He hoped that everything would end in silence so that the past events would stay in the past.

It was late at night. Paige, who had some fun in bed with Jospeh, nestled in the latter's arms and fell asleep while listening to the sound of the waves.

Jospeh didn't feel sleepy so he grabbed his phone on the bedside table and on it. He glanced at the message that Lucas sent a few hours ago, "Sir Jospeh, Sir Hayden is ill. Return quickly!"

A message from James had been sent after Lucas, "Hayden is fine. Don't worry!"

Jospeh's mouth curved into a mocking smile as he looked at the two contrasting messages.

When Hayden was in the hospital for first aid last time, Jospeh had gone to the operating room to check on him. He started to have his suspicions once he found that the operating room was clean and

there was no trace of surgery at all.

However, he didn't want to believe that Hayden was pretending to be ill. After all, Hayden had no reason to do so.

He had ordered James to arrange for some people to investigate Hayden's situation once he had received Lucas' message. The results were clear now.

Hayden was pretending to be ill indeed. He had lied to Charles, George, and Philip in the past, but he was targeting Jospeh specifically now.

Fortunately, he was the president of the Wolf Group. He would have been anxious when he saw the news of Haven's illness if he was just an ordinary person.

He would definitely go back immediately to see what was going on. Therefore, Hayden would have used his illness to threaten him to break up with Paige, and he would most likely agree to such an unreasonable request for the sake of his father's health.

Jospeh's face fell at this thought. He was glad that he had seen through Hayden's tricks.

Hayden would not be satisfied until his plan succeeded now that he had gone through such lengths to force Jospeh to break up with Paige. However, Paige and Jospeh would only face more obstacles in the future.

He would never let Paige go no matter how hard Hayden tried to stop him. Never!

Paige, who had been sleeping soundly, was dragged out of the bed by Jospeh the next morning, "Lazy

pig, get up and watch the sunrise!"

Paige was very tired but she still opened her eves to look at the window. It was still dark outside, "It's dark, what sunrise are you talking about? Wake me up when the sun comes out!"

After looking at Paige closing eyes and going back to sleep, Jospeh didn't know what to react, "When the sun comes out, you won't be able to see the sunrise anymore! Hurry up and get up."

"I'm so sleepy. Could you let me sleep a little longer? Just a little longer." Jospeh had no choice but to go to the bathroom and wet a towel before using it to wipe Paige's face a few times.

She opened her eyes and sat up instantly, "It's so cold! Jospeh Dawson, are you trying to murder your own wife?"

"Hurry up and wash up to go downstairs. I'll prepare breakfast!" He hurried downstairs as she went to the bathroom.

She brushed her teeth, washed her face, changed her clothes, and then went downstairs. Jospeh had made sandwiches, and they tasted surprisingly delicious.

Paige was surprised by his cooking skills again, "Jospeh, how could you be so evil to not cook for me previously?"

He replied with a smile, "You cooked a lot for me during the past, so I'll make it for you now. Is that not good enough?"

"How did you learn to cook? Have you also gone through hardships before?" Paige asked in confusion.

Men were normally not very good at cooking, were they?

Additionally, the public opinion of him was not even close to someone who knew how to cook.

He took a sip of milk and said, "I don't think it counts as suffering. After all, humans can do anything to survive, right?"

These words made Paige feel a little uncomfortable. She had always thought that he lived a happy and easy life in the city, but now she realized that maybe everything was not as simple as she thought

Charles and Elizabeth were two disgusting people. They were trying to plot against her, so how could they not target Jospeh, who was a thorn in their side?

He must have suffered quite a bit in the past!

She felt so sorry for him.

Jospeh took Paige's hand and went to the beach again after breakfast. The two of them slowly walked forward in the dark.

After walking for a while, the horizon started to turn red. Paige pointed at the red horizon and said, "Jospeh, the sun is coming out!"

He pinched her face and said. "Let me correct the way you call me. It should be, Hubby, the sun is coming out!"

"We haven't officially gotten married yet. I'll call you Jospeh first! I'll call you hubby when I marry you."

"It's easy to get the marriage certificate, what do you think of getting it after we watch the sunrise?"

"You just proposed yesterday, and you want to get the marriage certificate now. Isn't it too fast? No, let me observe you for a few more days. I’ll be the one suffering if you suddenly change your behaviour!"

Jospeh replied in a serious tone, "I won't let you suffer any losses. I'll give you half of my assets if you promise me that we'll get the marriage certificate."

"Why not all of them? Shouldn't I be in charge of our wealth after our marriage?" Paige asked.

"You'll get confused easily if you have too much money on your hands. I'm worried that you wouldn't be able to manage it!"

The sun slowly peeked out from the horizon as they spoke.

Paige opened, spread her arms towards the sun and urged Jospeh, "I want to grab the sun and hold it in my hands. It's time to see your photography skills!" Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Jospeh picked up his phone and started taking photos of her. After taking a few shots, he pinched his forehead and said, "What should I do? I'm feeling pressured right now because I think they're all bad shots. Will you hit me to death if you're unsatisfied?"

"That's possible. Let me see it first, then I'll decide if I should hit you or not!"

She reached out to grab his phone and examined the photos. Her face lit up once she saw them, "What should I do, Jospeh? I found another reason to marry you!"
