President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

As they were playing the cards, the girl who was Hayden’s comrade and was sitting opposite her quickly got what she meant. “One two.” Hayden’s eyes gleamed and she was ready to use the only card left in her hand. A deep voice was suddenly heard. “Big joker.” With a composed look, Joseph looked towards her. “It’s your turn.”

Hayden pouted and forced back her uncomfortable feeling. She replied with an unnatural tone, “No, thanks.” He used his big joker to suppress the two, it was obvious he knew what card she wanted to play and did that on purpose! The situation remained the same several rounds later. Hayden could not use any of the good cards she had as she was forbidden by Joseph’s cards.

“Yay! We win again! You’re awesome, mister.” The girl who partnered with Joseph seemed to only age around eighteen years old and she looked like a college student. She was excited in calling him ‘mister’, whereas although the other girl was partnering with Hayden, her eyes seemed to almost stick on Joseph. Except the first round which they were still serious in the game, the two girls had been taking turns inquiring about Joseph’s age and job for the next few rounds, acting cute in a euphemistic way to check his identity.

Hayden was speechless as the game proceeded and pushing the cards away, she said, “Alright, I don’t want to play anymore.” The girls could not wait to quit the game and they instantly approached Joseph even closer to inquire. “Mister, you’re already thirty one, have you gotten married?”

Hayden’s heart leapt when she heard that, and dissatisfaction rose inside her. She was sitting there as a real human being, didn’t the two girls ever think that she could be his girlfriend or wife? Did they ignore her on purpose? As she was feeling indignant, she could not help but want to hear Joseph’s answer on the other hand.

Joseph leaned back against the chair with a level look and replied, “My son has turned five this year.” Having heard that, the two girls were startled. Hayden initially thought they would not badger him any longer when they knew he had kids, yet as if the girls did not have that kind of mindset at all, their eyes actually gleamed and they pulled their stools, sitting even closer to Joseph.

“I can’t believe you already have kids! Mister, do you have any photo that you can show me?”
