Chapter 557 IT’S OKAY, I WILL GO WITH HER
Chapter 557 IT’S OKAY, I WILL GO WITH HER
“My phone’s battery ran out,” Apple muttered as she showed Jayden her completely dead phone, so she couldn’t show the digital invitation on her phone to the two girls waiting in front.
Luckily, one of them was quick to respond and immediately called Jayden when two people from the Tordoff family tried to find trouble with Apple.
Hm, she should thank them later…
Jayden glanced at the darkened screen of Apple’s phone, indicating that it was indeed dead and then nodded at her.
“Let’s go in,” Jayden said in his calm voice. His cold and sharp gaze was still fixed on the two people in front of him.
After saying that, he pulled Apple’s arm gently toward him and kissed her cheek in front of Hellen and her husband while whispering softly into Apple’s ear.
“You look really pretty tonight,” Jayden said sincerely, the look in his eyes telling how much he valued Apple and craved her.
On the other hand, Apple laughed softly. “Just tonight?” she asked teasingly. “You are not bad yourself.”
“You look beautiful every night, only tonight you look much more spectacular,” Jayden complimented her again as he led her inside, where the show was about to start.
“Spectacular?” Apple chuckled. “Unique choice of words.”
The Tordoff family party would be three nights and two days during which they would take part in a number of activities around the resort, some of which Jayden had explained to Apple and the girl was very excited to be involved.
And as for the clothes that Apple needed while they were there… Since Jayden had said she didn’t have to worry about it, then Apple was sure that Jayden had arranged everything.
After all, it wouldn’t be difficult for Jayden to arrange some clothes for her. He just needed to give orders to a few maids to pack some casual clothes for the few days following, after all the party was only going to take place tonight, so there was nothing to worry about.
And again, if worst comes to worst, Apple will always be able to borrow Jayden’s shirts for her to wear.
“Nervous?” Jayden asked Apple who looked much quieter than usual.
From the receptionist’s desk at the front to the main event venue which is an outdoor party in the spacious central garden with lively music playing all the way to where they are standing now, it took about five minutes and during that time, Apple didn’t say anything and this is unusual.
“A little,” Apple answered honestly. She held Jayden’s arm quite tightly as they walked through the park and when Apple saw how many people were at the party and how they carried themselves with such grace and dignity, Apple grimaced. “Is it too late for me to back out?” she asked in a low voice.
Jayden laughed when he heard what Apple said, but he tightened his grip on Apple as they entered the party area, which was a large and spacious garden, conjured up with a Victorian theme.
At this particular moment, Apple was grateful that Hailee took her shopping and chose the clothes she was now wearing.
“Of course, it’s too late for you to back out, you can only walk forward with me,” Jayden said, he then looked ahead and smiled at the people who greeted him and introduced Apple in a voice that sounded proud.
On the other hand, Apple smiled more and didn’t say much, she let Jayden take over the conversation. She would only answer when asked, because she did not want to choose the wrong words and embarrass herself.
They all looked very respectful, especially when they found out that she was with Jayden.
Some of the women there, whom Apple assumed were partners of the Tordoff family members, looked at Apple with slightly uncomfortable eyes, as if they were going to swallow her whole.
Apple knew they weren’t the Tordoffs because Jayden didn’t know the women and only knew the man beside them.
It seems, even though you come from the Tordoff family, there is still a hierarchy in it, where Jayden and Misha rank the highest after their fathers, especially Jayden, because Ramon is the first person people will think of when they hear the Tordoff surname.
“Apple!” cried a female voice that Apple recognized. That’s Hailee. She walked over quickly in his high heels and immediately hugged Apple warmly.
Tonight Hailee looked very beautiful in her navy blue evening gown, she looked much younger than her actual age. She was gorgeous.
“Mrs. Tordoff,” Apple said as she hugged Hailee back, but then she let go of her hug and scowled at Apple.
“What do you mean by Mrs. Tordoff? Didn’t I tell you to call me ‘mom’?” Hailee raised an eyebrow and looked fierce, which made Apple wince.
“Mom,” Apple said obediently.
“Good,” Hailee replied this time. She smiled and hugged Apple again. “You must be tired of hearing men talk, come here, I will introduce you to the rest of the Tordoffs.” Hailee gently pulled Apple’s hand away from Jayden.
To be honest, Apple didn’t want to go with Hailee and get to know the rest of the Tordoff family, she was comfortable enough being next to Jayden listening to him talk about boring business matters, at least then she had an excuse not to join the conversation.
“No, mom, Apple will be here with me,” Jayden declined his mother’s invitation gently. He could feel Apple’s grip on his arm tighten.
“Oh, but maybe we can talk a lot, you know, woman to woman,” Hailee said with hopeful eyes at Apple.
And this is when you will feel much worse if you refuse.
“It’s okay, I will be gone only for a bit,” Apple finally decided, she let go of her grip on Jayden’s arm.
“Are you sure?” Jayden looked unsure, but Hailee quickly grabbed Apple’s arm and led her away, while the girl could only smile at Jayden to calm him down.
