Chapter 129 - I WANT DIVORCE
Having finished throwing all the insults, Hailee rewarded Giana with a triumphant smile and nodded toward the door with an extremely arrogant smile on her face. As arrogant and provocative as she could smile at this moment.
"You can leave now Mrs. Smith and don't forget to close the door." Hailee's voice sounded so loud and painful in Giana's ears that she gritted her molars to endure the embarrassment she felt from this humiliation.
Giana gave Hailee a very sharp look and it was true what this girl had guessed, she would not take such an extreme action to make a fuss in this hospital, because after all she still had some dignity to save and her status which strongly opposed such stupid acts.
So with a final look, Giana turned her attention to Ramon who was still sleeping, or so she thought. She hoped that Ramon would wake up and remember everything and defend her in front of this little girl, so that she would know what Ramon Tordoff's anger felt like.
However, unfortunately that was just Giana's wishful thinking, as Ramon didn't even open his eyes or make any movements indicating that he was about to wake up.
"Are you done looking at my future husband?" Hailee asked, still with the same arrogant and provocative tone. "I know he is handsome, but you better keep your dirty mind on your own husband."
Giana shifted her focus back to Hailee, this time her eyes narrowed sarcastically, and to be honest, this made Hailee cringe a little.
Hailee wouldn't be surprised if she could hear what Giana was thinking at the moment and find her plan to chop herself up into twelve or twenty- four pieces.
However, Hailee did not show that. She would not. She had the upper hand, so she was the one who would make Giana go crying out of this place with exasperation.
"Stop staring at him." Hailee's voice this time was firmer and the sweet smile on her lips had faded. "And get out of this room."
Without a word, almost as soon as Hailee said her last piece, Giana turned on her heels and walked away, at least she had enough dignity not to make a pointless fuss.
But, before she could reach the exit, she turned back around to face Hailee and looked at her with the sharpest gaze Hailee had ever gotten from an angry woman.
"I will laugh over your cries when the day comes when Ramon would finally regain his memories. Because… " Giana glanced back at Ramon and this made Hailee stare at her fiercely. "… He will come running to me. Because what we have is special and you will never understand."
Satisfied with saying that closing sentence, Giana walked straight to the door and closed it with unnecessary force, leaving Hailee frozen where she was standing.
It was long enough for her to realize that Ramon was done with the 'pretend sleep' act, which Hailee had suggested, and now walked over to her and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Ramon asked, his eyes staring at Hailee with an expression that could be interpreted as… worry?
No one knew what the meaning of that deep gaze, except himself.
She didn't know.
Yes, Hailee wasn't sure if Ramon was worried about her after the small argument between herself and Giana.
"So…" Hailee said softly, shrugging her shoulders for Ramon to lower his arms and this made the man raise his eyebrows questioningly. "You are going to run straight to her as soon as you get your memories back, right?"
Hailee's voice was calm, but of course someone as smart as Ramon would understand that this was not a very pleasant thing.
"Hey, I wouldn't do that," Ramon said in a scornful tone, his expression slightly offended, as if Hailee had just accused him of sexual immorality.
"You can say that you won't do that now because you haven't regained your memories yet," Hailee emphasized the word 'yet' in her sentence and it certainly underscored the problem in this current topic. "But, you will do it when you get your memories back, right?"
Hailee narrowed her eyes viciously, as if Ramon had just harassed her in public and this made Ramon feel awry.
"Is that a trick question?" Ramon narrowed his eyes. If humans were born with a manual, he would be happy to buy a guidebook with a title; How to Deal with Hailee, right now, no matter how expensive it would be, because he really didn't know how to get out of this girl's mind- ridden questions. "What do you expect to be my answer?"
The response was wrong and Ramon immediately knew it when he saw Hailee's eyes narrowing into a half- moon shape.
There were times Ramon wanted to spend time with Hailee and see what kind of surprises she was hiding or how she would unexpectedly respond to something, but he was certain that now was not a time like that.
"You didn't even say anything earlier," Hailee accused, her finger pricking Ramon's chest.
"If you wanted, I could have her thrown out of this place earlier, but you just told me to pretend to be asleep, remember?" Ramon defended himself. He followed what this girl wanted, but how could he still be blamed?
Hailee clenched her jaw and scowled. Of course she remembered.
"Hear me out." Ramon exhaled heavily when he saw Hailee sulking again. "I don't know what I was thinking to actually put myself in such a position."
"Having an affair with a married woman," Hailee emphasized Ramon's ambiguous line and this made the man grimace. Well, Hailee was a little better after seeing his reaction.
"Thanks for reminding," Ramon grumbled.
"It is my pleasure." And now, another sudden smile appeared on Hailee's lips. Just a second ago she looked like a woman who was going to kill him ruthlessly, but the next second she was smiling sweetly because she was glad to have made Ramon uneasy.
Is this girl a psychopath?
"I don't know what I was thinking when I had an affair with Giana," Ramon corrected his words according to Hailee's wishes.
"For two years," Hailee added the unsaid information.
"Thanks for reminding me again, but can I finish my sentence?" Ramon frowned. Hailee could be very difficult to talk to and be very annoying.
However, Ramon liked the playful smile that etched on her lips, even though she tried not to show it. Hailee looked so sweet.
After making sure that Hailee would not cut his words again, Ramon sighed and continued his interrupted sentence. "But I will not return to a time like that. I'm not an ass that will fall into the same hole twice. "
"She said the relationship between you guys is special," Hailee recalled Giana's last words before she slammed the door to this room.
"Okay, maybe this sounds a little absurd." Ramon gripped Hailee's shoulders gently and made the girl face him.
"It doesn't make sense," Hailee said, even though she hadn't heard what Ramon had to say.
Ramon ignored the comment. "You can laugh after hearing me."
"Can I laugh now?" Hailee asked, tilting her head to observe Ramon's expression, wondering to what extent this man could put up with her annoying attitude.
Sometimes it's weird, how you wanted to test how much you mean by testing a person's patience, because that was what Hailee always did whenever she was with Ramon.
However, when she saw Ramon's serious expression, she sighed and stopped with her childish actions and waited for what this man had to say until he looked so serious, as if he was going to make a confession.
Ramon sighed a few times to calm the side of himself that was saying not to say this out loud, but there was a part of him that wanted Hailee to know where he was standing and speak his mind.
"This may sound strange, coming from a guy like me, but what I want is quite simple; I want a family. Have several children and growing old together. That is all." It was short, concise and very clear, in line with Ramon's personality.
A family with several children and growing old together. It sounds very sweet and romantic and makes anyone who hears it feel a warm feeling creeping through their hearts.
It's just that, indeed, when those words came from Ramon, it sounded strange, considering his odd relationship with Giana.
In fact, this added a question to Hailee's mind.
How much did Ramon feel for Giana that he could endure a relationship for two years that had no future?
Hailee was not sure if Giana and Aidan's divorce would be very peaceful, there would definitely be a lot of drama accompanying them as well as cameras that would follow them.
How could Ramon handle that? Had Ramon never thought about it?
For the first time ever, Hailee desperately wanted Ramon's memory to come back so he could answer the intricacy of these questions.
"I want half of your fortune if we ever had to divorce and custody of the child," Hailee suddenly proposed this and made Ramon's, previously solemn expression shrink again.
"Are you blackmailing me?" Ramon asked. Hailee's requests could be terrifying.
"Are you planning to divorce me?" Hailee replied to Ramon's question with another question.
And again a trick question.
Ramon's cleverness in arguing and winning an argument is not in doubt, but Hailee's ability to create traps in every question really needed to be watched out for.
"Of course not," he said with certainty.
"Then there's nothing wrong with us renewing the agreement, right?" This time Hailee kissed Ramon on the cheek.
==============
It was very late, but in here, no one would be free enough to notice whether it was morning or day or night out there, because everything looked the same.
The thumping music could crack one's eardrums filled the entire room and Dillon could only helplessly stare at the woman in front of him who had finished a full bottle of liquor and was so drunk that she no longer realized what she was saying.
Giana kept on babbling with tears streaming down her cheeks and occasionally shouting swear words, while Dillon was forced to witness all this and ensure that Giana's current state would not be published in the mass media.
Luckily Giana had unlimited access to the VIP room in this place, so they could get a little privacy when Gianawas not in a condition that was deserved to be seen like now.
The woman then danced like crazy and Dillon had to get up to stop her.
"Dillon…" Giana's voice sounded very husky and sad. She hugged Dillon as the man pulled her over to sit down. "I want a divorce."
