Chapter 141 - DON'T HIT ME
But then Dillon's words came back ringing in his ears loudly; Giana really doesn't care who he is cheating on with? Then why was she digging information on Hailee Tatum? Wasn't she looking for information regarding Hailee Tatum because she was Zia's cousin?
Or could it be that there was something bigger than what Giana was hiding and Aidan didn't know at all about it?
==============
Hailee took hold of the hand Ramon was reaching out to her just as she opened the car door. One more little action of this man that made the butterflies in Hailee's stomach flap their wings with joy.
How wonderful is this feeling, isn't it?
How Ramon constantly trying to prove to be the perfect husband for Hailee and not to mention he did it to perfection.
Currently, Hailee was still wearing her evening gown that flowed over to her ankles along with Ramon's black suit draped over her shoulders due to the cold and slightly unfriendly night air.
In front of Hailee, was a private plane bearing the Tordoff family logo, indicating who owned it.
Hailee felt that tonight was full of smiles and surprises.
Earlier, she had to maintain a happy smile at the party, as a part of showing some courtesy to the honorable guests she wasn't even familiar with. However now, Hailee was smiling from the bottom her heart. She was smiling whole heartedly as she looked at the man who was now leading her in the direction of these private plane.
Her smile grew even wider when Ramon turned and smiled back at her before carefully helping her up the airstairs, so that Hailee's legs wouldn't accidentally step on her long evening gown.
Hailee couldn't help but lean in and land a kiss on the man's right cheek, whispering a little louder to overcome the quite noisy sound of the wind around them.
"Thank you," she said.
"For?" Ramon asked while helping Hailee lift up the lower part of her dress.
"For everything," Hailee said bashfully. "I will not forget this night for the rest of my life."
Ramon returned Hailee's kiss on the cheek with a brief kiss on the girl's lips when they reached the door.
"Then don't forget this ..." Ramon then grabbed Hailee by the waist and kissed her back, while the bodyguards waiting at the bottom of the stairs had to shift their focus elsewhere with slightly surprised and understanding expressions.
Throughout their employment period under Ramon Tordoff, never once has this man shown his affection in public, nor has he shown that he has this side.
However, everything changed after Hailee appeared in his life. The only woman who was said to have managed to captivate Ramon Tordoff's eyes and was now officially his life partner.
Therefore, it was quite surprising and also a relief. At least, they now know that even Ramon Tordoff could be nice to the right woman, his wife, someone he loves ...
At least, that's what they have in mind.
On the other hand, after displaying their affection in front of the poor bodyguards, Ramon finally grabbed Hailee's hand and invited her inside, to continue their journey to the place where the newlyweds would spend their honeymoon for over two months.
A place that Ramon still kept secret from Hailee.
However, wherever it is, Hailee won't complain at all. Even if Ramon intend to take her camping on the mountains, Hailee will still feel happy. Nothing can take this from her ...
==============
"What did I say? Our son actually loves Hailee!" Mrs. Gevano growled irritably at her husband, who could only be silent. She then stared at her only son with an expression that was hard to describe. "He's just a little distracted by this woman."
The words sounded utterly curt and cynical, and even more painful, when the mother of Theodore Gevano said them right in front of Aileen, as if she couldn't hear them, as if she were not there or visible in their eyes.
Meanwhile, Aileen, who was helping Theodore, who was half drunk, get into the car, could only grit her molars and clench her fists tightly so that her emotions wouldn't overflow and put her in even deeper trouble.
It's enough Mrs. Gevano hated her so much, if Aileen had to create a fuss here, then her hopes of being with Theodore would dwindle.
Especially when she saw how this man was doing now.
This is so embarrassing!
How could Theodore get drunk at Hailee's wedding? People would think he was a man who had been left behind by his beloved.
And what is even more terrible for Aileen is; deep down, she was a little afraid that this might be true.
Were Theodore's feelings for her not that deep all this time? What if after this their relationship got worse?
The issue of Aileen's "pregnancy" is still a serious issue that must be discussed and considered carefully because Theodore clearly asked her to abort the pregnancy.
How could he ask Aileen to kill his own flesh and blood? Even though it was just a lie, but still Theodore's attitude was completely unexpected.
What if Theodore decided to leave her?
Aileen bit her lips so harder, it felt like she could taste the blood from the wound she had made herself.
"Theo must have loved Hailee and only realized it now!" Mrs. Gevano didn't stop with her fierce words, glaring at the silent Aileen. "That's why he's drunk like this!!"
"Never mind!" Exclaimed Mr. Gevano after he finished helping his son get into the car and secured him next to Aileen who was hugging his body so he could stay seated properly. "It was already over. Hailee is married to Ramon Tordoff, you think, you can get her back?!"
Mr. Gevano looked at his wife, who was twisting her face in displeasure at being reprimanded like that.Thus, she stared at Aileen even more sharply, as if she were given a dagger, then the dagger would have been plunged right in Aileen's heart.
"That's not the point!" Mrs. Gevano raised her voice. "If she hadn't come in between Theo and Hailee's relationship, then something like this wouldn't have happened!"
Aileen lowered her head further, her hands that were hugging Theodore's arms tensed, gripping the man more tightly.
"You better take my word for it." Mrs. Gevano grabbed Aileen's hand so she could focus on herself.
"You will never enter into the Gevano family! I will never agree to that!" Mrs. Gevano then pulled Aileen's hand and made her get out of the car by force and Theodore, who lost his balance, fell on face first on the car seat. "Get away from my son!" Snapped Mrs. Gevano.
"Stop it! That's enough!" Mr. Gevano growled angrily when he saw what his wife was doing. He immediately ran to the other side of the car and tried to stop his wife who was trying to slap Aileen.
Judging from the reaction of Mrs. Gevano, it seemed that she had reached the peak of her anger that she could no longer contain which made herself unable to control her attitude.
And the only reason why Mr. Gevano stopped his wife was; he didn't want them to embarrass themselves any more than this.
Although not many people were around, the few people who saw this scene, started showing their interest in knowing what was going on.
"I don't want to stop!" Mrs. Gevano hissed fiercely, but then lowered her voice. It seemed that she was starting to notice that this anger had drawn unnecessary attention from several people. "She must know that her place is not beside our child!"
Mrs. Gevano might not have been this angry if Theodore had chosen another girl who was with an equal status to him, not just an adopted child who didn't have a strong backing.
Theodore had completely been blinded by this woman's influence, to the point that he was willing to let go of the perfect Hailee just to be with Aileen.
Mrs. Gevano was irked and she could only sigh every time Hailee smiled at the guests.
The girl was so beautiful, reminding herself of her mother who was her best friend.
Therefore, when Mrs. Gevano saw how her son got drunk so badly, she realized that Theodore had done a big mistake and his eyes just opened about what he just lost from his grasp.
But everything was too late ...
And all this happened because of the temptation of this young woman who was in front of them.
When Mrs. Gevano thought about it, she felt more and more annoyed and couldn't hold back her feelings anymore. And as her vision darkened, she raised her hand up high and landed a heavy blow on Aileen's cheek causing her to fall on the rough, hard pavement of the road.
"You ignorant woman!" Mrs. Gevano scolded Aileen very loudly and pointed her manicured fingers toward her face. She didn't even give Aileen any face when she attempted to slap her again. "You are the mistress in your own sister's relationship! How can you do that to the family that raised you?!"
"Stop it!" Mr. Gevano grabbed his wife's hand, trying to stop her from slapping Aileen again. "You're embarrassing yourself!"
"Don't you try to stop me from teaching this woman a lesson! She needs to be taught a lesson!" Mrs. Gevano seemed to lose control when she saw Aileen crying and pretending to be weak.
Meanwhile, Aileen's face was flushed red and her eyes were teary, not only because of the slap she received or the fact that Mrs. Gevano had humiliated her, but also because Theodore couldn't help her, as he had fallen asleep in the car.
"Mother, stop hitting me," Aileen sobbed. She had to think of a way to get out of this problem.
"Mother?!" Exclaimed Mrs. Gevano. She was infuriated when she heard how Aileen had addressedher. "Don't you dare call me mother! You think I'm your mother!?" Her anger was almost unstoppable and this made Aileen cry even more.
"Don't hit me! I'm pregnant with your grandson!" Aileen 'admitted' as she hugged her stomach, trying to protect the fetus that isn't real.
It's just that, when Mr. and Mrs. Gevano heard that, they both froze where they stood, staring wide-eyed at Aileen, unable to believe what they had just heard.
There was no way this could be happening right?
Just finding Theodore in a relationship with Aileen was already a blow for Mrs. Gevano, but now this woman was saying that she was pregnant with Theodore's child?
Something seemed fishy here.
Meanwhile, Aileen who just said the sentence, had to think of a way to contact George, to tell him to be ready, because the Gevano family had come to know this and they had to move on to the next plan.
