Chapter 568 UGH! THAT’S HURT!
Chapter 568 UGH! THAT’S HURT!
Apple felt much calmer when Jayden apologized sincerely and persuaded her several times. The girl finally melted and decided to stay at the resort instead of going home and sitting alone in her room, feeling bitter about what had happened.
Jayden even suggested for them to get married as soon as possible in case something unexpected happened.
For example, Apple getting pregnant because of what happened between them last night. If that really happened, there was no reason for them to delay the wedding.
Jayden explained it all very clearly and a little excitedly, but Apple just stared at him with a look in her eyes that seemed to say that his plan was crazy and chose to take him to breakfast.
“Stop talking about weddings and all, I want to eat right now and don’t want to talk about the theme of a wedding,” Apple grumbled as she got out of bed. She felt hungry after she expended all her energy being furious at Jayden, not to mention she even hit him.
One the corner of Jayden’s eyes, she could see blue bruises looming over his eyes. It looked really painful. A pinch of guilt plagued Apple’s eyes that she quickly threw away.
Jayden deserved that.
“Get out of the room, I am going to change,” Apple said in a sharp voice. She still had the blanket wrapped around her frame.
“I could be on the balcony if you want to change,” Jayden suggested, providing a solution so he wouldn’t have to be kicked out of his own room.
“No.” Apple shook her head firmly. “You are out of this room.” she was not going to give Jayden a chance to peek at her while she was changing.
“I can turn my back if you want,” Jayden said, offering Apple another solution.
“No, I want you out of this room.” Apple’s voice was getting louder and louder, leaving no room for debate.
“Or I could…”
“Get. out.”
And after hearing the last words from Apple and seeing how angry the girl was and realizing that whatever Jayden said wouldn’t change what she was thinking, Jayden walked out of the room reluctantly. He didn’t want to feel a second blow to his face.
“Okay, okay,” Jayden said quickly, running to the door but not before pointing to one of the cupboards. “Your clothes are there.” And after that, he disappeared behind the door.
Seeing what Jayden did, Apple could only mutter in a tired voice. She needed time to think about all of this. Too many things had happened in just one night. Especially the things that had happened between the two of them. Wasn’t that too fast?
Apple covered her face with both hands and growled in exasperation, then shook her head violently, as if she was in denial.
“Okay, it is what it is,” she told herself to stop feeling guilty and annoyed. After all, it had already happened and she could only deal with it.
Jayden had said that he would take responsibility if needed later.
Apple could calm down a bit because she felt like she knew Jayden quite well and above all, Hailee seemed to be on her side and couldn’t possibly let her son treat her however he wanted.
She remembered the look on Hailee’s face when she found Jayden sleeping with her in the same bed and the first thing she worried about was Apple. Frankly, Apple was very touched when Hailee looked at her like that, especially since she had lost her mother so long ago.
So, if Jayden messed up, Apple could just say this to Hailee and let Mrs. Tordoff deal with her son.
At least, Apple could feel relieved to know this.
Apple took a deep breath and then walked over to the closet Jayden had pointed out earlier. She saw a bright yellow sweater and faded blue jeans. Well, at least Jayden knew what kind of clothes Apple was comfortable wearing…
========================
Apple had spent about two hours showering, getting ready and calming herself. She came out of the room and the first thing she saw was a bouquet, not a flower bouquet, but rather filled with all kinds of chocolates that were laid out in front of her.
For a moment, Apple was surprised to find this, but once she saw Jayden behind them, she knew what this man was up to.
“Thank you,” Apple said quietly as she took the chocolate bouquet and looked at Jayden who seemed dissatisfied with Apple’s answer and reaction.
“Just thanks?” Jayden asked as he raised his eyebrows and pouted his lips, like a child who didn’t get the praise he expected after the thoughtful thing he had done. “I have been waiting for you for two hours, standing here with the chocolates you love.”
“What more do you want?” asked Apple curtly.
“At least give me a kiss,” Jayden answered honestly.
Apple rolled her eyes when she heard that. “I am still upset over what happened and now I seem to have changed my mind again to just go home and spend some time alone.”
Hearing this, Jayden immediately changed his tune. “Today we will ride horses and after that we will explore places in this resort that are still beautiful and have beautiful natural views. Have you ever ridden a horse before?”
Jayden immediately changed the topic of their conversation and walked beside Apple, while the girl was still holding the chocolate bouquet that Jayden had given her.
“Have you ever ridden one before? I will choose the best horse for you. Have you ever been camping? Do you like natural scenery? Do you like outdoor physical activities?”
Jayden kept questioning things because he didn’t want Apple to talk about going home again or get upset.
Meanwhile Apple, who was walking by his side could only stare at this man while frowning. “For now I like horses and all that more than you.”
“Ugh. That hurts…” Jayden complained.
