President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free
Chapter 306 Lyon’s Story

When Hayden came downstairs, a group of girls of the reception desk were surrounding Lyon for his signatures. Being embarrassed, Hayden stood still with a bag.

Now she doubted that the it's not Lyon but his agency that sent the personal statement on his own Weibo.

"Hayden!"

Lyon spotted her through the crowd. Waving at her, he pushed through the mass and said, "You should call me when you are here."

"No, I promised them."

Lyon looked innocent.

He was in a white feather coat today with a wide furred hat, which made him look fairer. His face was as small as a girl's.

"I found a place where we can have our meals privately without any attention. Trust me! we won't be photographed this time." Hayden regretted meeting him. She should have told him that she was not here.

However, it's difficult to reject Lyon's request.

"I'm so sorry, Lyon. I am busy this evening and I think you might be busy too, so maybe we can cancel the dinner..."

"I've ordered it. My assistant told me the food in that Japanese restaurant tasted good."

"A Japanese restaurant?" Hayden was surprised and started drooling.

Half an hour later, in a room of a Japanese restaurant located in Business District in Eastern Nanjing, Hayden raved about the fresh sea urchin in front of her.

"This restaurant was recommended by my assistant. I am so sorry for the news report."

"It's fine. It doesn't matter."

Hayden drank water, "You have provided me the delicious meal. Besides, it's not your fault. A I understand a celebrity should be cautious about his behaviors, all of which tend to be exaggerated by others." "I am OK." Lyon smiled, "I have got used to it. I think I will starve if I have not been a celebrity."

"You must be joking."

"No. You know, I have lived by myself since I was ten. I worked in all kinds of low-status jobs. If I was not discovered by a talent scout and became a trainee, it's very likely for me to die in hunger. Hayden was shocked by him because she assumed Lyon was born in a rich family and entered the showbiz just for fun. She knew little of his experience.

Noticing Hayden's confusion, Lyon touched his nose shyly.

"All the online information is fake, which is actually made up by my agency. They believe that people nowadays like those celebrities who are rich. However, I don't even know who my parents are." "Sorry." Hayden frowned, "Just let it go!"

"You are right. It all passed."

Lyon took a deep breath. He's so young and cute that Hayden became distressed at his sufferings.

"To be honest, it's not a pity for me to be discarded by parents. I lived in a welfare institution until I was five. I was adopted. At that time, I was happy to have parents but a few days later, my adoptive mother had a car accident and passed away. And since then, my father became indulged in excessive drinking and beat me. So I escaped from him at the age of ten. I could not bear it any longer. And after that, I worked hard to earn my living everywhere."

Then he paused and sobbed, "Hayden, I heard that you had adopted a boy as young as me. Is he Freddie?"

She nodded.

It was known by many people and reported by the media.

"If only I encountered a kind-hearted person like you at that time!"

Lyon bit his lips with regrets. He stared at Hayden and then drank a lot rice wine. But he got choked immediately for the wine was too pungent to him. "Terrible!" He blamed. Hayden gave him the water at once, "Drink some water."

She felt deeply sorry for Lyon who reminded her of Freddie as a little boy.

In the year she met Freddie at a underground boxing ring, he was about twelve and she was fifteen. She was much taller than him because he suffered from malnutrition.

Freddie's life was changed by her who brought him home. Although they were not always happy, he led a life much better than that in the ring.

"Even though we failed to meet each other earlier, you are living well."

"Actually, I lived with a girl who looked like you at that time," Lyon smiled bitterly, "It seems that all of those who treat me well will suffer later."

He put out his phone and found out a picture of them. He showed it to Hayden, "Look, she's very beautiful."

It's an old photo where stood an eighteen-year-old girl and a fifteen-year-old boy who was the younger Lyon.

And the girl was sweet and cute, like Hayden a little bit as Lyon said.

Hayden now understood why Lyonwelcomed her so warmly at their first meeting and waited for her outside shivering with cold.

"It's normal that two persons looked alike." She nodded and asked, "Was she your girlfriend?"

"Yes. Her name is Chris, a Chinese descent, born in a wealthy family," Lyon admitted with deep love at his memory.

"Two years after I was recruited as a trainee, something happened to me and I left that agency with high liquidated damages. It's she that paid all my debts during the two years and helped me become a model. I planned to get married with her in the past. "What's going on?" Hayden asked and realized her question was not a good one.

Expectedly, Lyon gave her a self-mockery smile.

"Everyone who is nice to me has a bad luck. She passed away because she got leukemia. And I received all the legacies she inherited from her father. I began to be defined by her family and experience as if she's still alive and never left me." Lyon drank the rest two kettle of wine and started his drunken ramblings of the story between him and Chris.

Hayden became sentimental.

Lyon, the innocent boy who she thought had a happy family, turned out to have lived in such a miserable life, which made her feel extremely sad and sorry.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
