Chapter 30: Stop It Now

Hearing Joseph's questioning, the pretty assistant administrator, Rita's expression slightly changed.

"The swings are not high and the ground at the bottom is padded. Our school has never encountered

an accident related to the swings."

Joseph pointed at the swings in displeasure.

"Never does not mean there is no risk. If a child lets go of his or her hand when swinging, do you think

the ability of a young kid in balancing can keep him or her from falling?"

Finished speaking, Joseph turned his head back and looked at the rainbow plastic runway that was not

far away with a serious look.

"And the plastic runway, I had already taken a look just now. The corner is not completely paved with

plastic. Your school does not pay enough attention to the grass weeds clean-up. Kids are naughty. If

they hide inside the grass, you guys may not be able to notice them, what if there are poisonous

snakes?"

Rita's face turned white. She did not know how to answer.

Which child would let go of his hand without any reason while playing on the swing? The grass of the

field was perhaps just because the gardeners slacked off recently, the grass was not even higher than

an ankle.

Blue Castle Bilingual Kindergarten indeed had never encountered a more demanding parent than

Joseph! ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"I think it isn't that serious."

A clear woman's voice broke the ice. Hayden came down from the corridor and walked up to them.

"Mr. Beckham, you really worry too much about Noah. In the past, Stella had fallen off the swing and

her arm was broken while her face was injured. However, I don't think that is a bad matter."

She looked at Joseph. Her eyes were gentle as if she was thinking of something extremely warm.

"Because after that incident, whenever she swings, she will hold the rope tightly and so she never falls.

Even when I'm sitting on the swing, she will tell me something like 'Mommy, grab the rope tightly'."

Hearing this, Joseph's tense face relaxed a lot. He stared at Hayden with a complicated expression for

a long time.

Seeing this, Rita spoke cautiously at the side.

"Mr. Beckham, I think what Ms. Downey says is very true. But if you're still dissatisfied, we'll remove the

swing while for the plastic runway, we'll entirely pave it up as soon as possible without leaving any turf."

Joseph pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Never mind, just leave it like this. If Noah has any problem in the future, remember to contact me

immediately."

Rita heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at Hayden gratefully, "Alright, since there is no problem, I'll go

back to report to the principal."

It was still early. Hayden took a deep breath and sat on the swing, smiling, "Mr. Beckham, I can't

believe you're also willing to listen to others' opinions."

Joseph raised his eyes and looked at her. The morning light was spread across her face and her eyes

were slightly narrowed due to the light. She was grinning with a pleasant smile with a little sense of

teasing him.

He surprisingly did not feel disgusted and just asked, "In your view, I'm a dictator who does not listen to

any other opinions?"

Hayden played on the swing and denied flatteringly, "How is that possible, everyone knows that Mr.

Beckham is young and capable, how can you be an arbitrary tyrant?"

"Tyrant?" Joseph's eyes narrowed.

"Ahem." Hayden realized that she had said something wrong so she quickly changed the subject, "I

just think that Mr. Beckham's concern for Noah is too much. Things will develop in the opposite

direction when they become extreme. Children actually need their own space too."

"Is it?" Joseph's expression looked a bit complicated.

Hayden thought that he did not agree with her opinion so she explained.

"In fact, it doesn't matter if a child is slightly injured. It isn't right for people to refuse to go out just

because they're afraid of the world outside. You shouldn't keep Noah under the greenhouse with your

protection. If he can't see the sunlight outside, he will never know what kind of life he wants. But, all of

us are supposed to be born for our own unique life, right?"

These words apparently stimulated something in Joseph's mind. The words 'all of us are supposed to

be born for our unique life' were lingering in his mind repeatedly.

Seeing his abnormal expression, Hayden asked carefully.

"Perhaps, is the fact that Noah isn't able to speak the reason you're so nervous about his matter?"

Joseph regained his presence of mind. He gazed at her with something flashing in his eyes.

"I'm sorry." Hayden quickly pursed her lips, "I've forgotten that you've told me not to ask this, sorry, just

pretend that I don't say anything."

She looked down at her wrist. She got up from the swing and hurriedly changed the topic, "It's late, I

have to go to work. I'll leave first."

"If it isn't because of my negligence, Noah won't be reluctant to speak."

A low voice came behind her with a little self-condemnation. This made Hayden stopped her pace.

Slightly stunned, she turned around.

She somehow doubted whether her ears heard wrongly. After all, Joseph was not a person who would

casually talk to others about his private family matter. When she asked about the matter why Noah

could not speak last time, she was even reprimanded by him.

"Do you mean that Noah is reluctant to speak?"

She tentatively asked a question.

Joseph nodded slightly with a quite complicated expression.

"When Noah was two years old, he could already speak a lot of words but after a high fever, he

became reluctant to speak. The doctor had identified that his vocal cords and nerves did not suffer from

any damages. It was just that he refused to speak and the doctor said that it was a psychological

problem."

"Psychological problem?" Hayden's heart slightly ached for him, "What did he encounter at that time?"

When she said this, Joseph was even more remorseful. He surprisingly sighed.

"I don't know."

The fact that he did not know made him blamed himself even more. The fever came for no reason and

the matter that Noah encountered that night could not be investigated clearly. The maids who took care

of Noah in the old mansion also did not know anything. So, he was unwilling to leave Noah with

Grandpa after that matter.

Also, when he saw Noah almost die due to a serious illness three years ago, he realized that being a

father was not as simple as just coming back to see his child during the free time and hearing him call

him daddy.

It was a responsibility.

Joseph's brows furrowed and he looked like having an agonizing feeling of guilt, which was completely

not expected by Hayden.

"No wonder you're so nervous about Noah now. But the matter has already passed, don't think about it

anymore."

This kind of comfort was really futile. Joseph's face looked inconsolable and darkened. Hayden

instantly regretted touching his raw nerve. She was a little panicked.

It could not be that he was going to cry due to the sadness of being cut to the quick!

She noticed the swing that she just got up from and an idea flashed through her mind.

"Mr. Beckham, have you ever played on a swing?"

This meaningless sentence made Joseph looked at her in puzzle. Before he could react, she was

pulled by Hayden and forcibly pressed to sit on the swing.

"When you play on a swing, you'll forget all your worries and sadness. Mr. Beckham, you sit there, I'll

push you."

"I don't need you to push."

"It's just a small matter, Mr. Beckham. I know I've touched your raw nerve, sit properly."

"Hayden." Joseph's mouth twitched and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Stop it now."
