Chapter 696: OF COURSE I KNOW (2)
Seeing how calmly Hailee greeted him when he came home this morning and even served breakfast that she cooked straight for him, of course made Ramon a little confused by his wife’s unusual reaction.
“Don’t you want to know where I went last night?” Ramon finally couldn’t help but ask this.
Hearing this, Hailee actually chuckled as she answered. “Of course I know where you went last night, Richard reported everything to me,” she said lightly as she shoved the food into his mouth.
“Richard?” Ramon said the name in disbelief. He started to clench his fists because he felt betrayed. How dare he report this to Hailee?! Traitor!
Ramon started thinking about what kind of punishment that he would give to that man later.
“You think I didn’t know you left our room in the middle of the night and went to check on Jayden?” Hailee asked with a smile on the corner of her lips that showed victory. “You think I can sleep peacefully knowing our son is out there in danger?”
Ah. Ramon had completely forgotten that part because he wasn’t focused on what he did last night.
He should have thought about that part more before he was fooled, feeling so sure that Hailee had fallen into a deep slumber.
He should have known that Hailee wouldn’t sleep at all that night, knowing that their only son might be in danger.
Hailee saw Ramon’s defeated expression and started to chuckle. “You really should learn more about me.” Hailee clicked her tongue. “It seems that even after so many years of marriage, you still have a lot more to learn about me.”
Ramon could only grimace when he heard this, but then he tried to smoothen the situation by kissing Hailee’s forehead and smiling very sweetly at his wife.
“Of course, I will never get tired of learning anything about you, my wife,” he said very sweetly, but Hailee of course already knew what kind of tactics Ramon was using now and it wouldn’t have much effect on her.
“This doesn’t work on me, Mr. Tordoff,” Hailee said as she stuffed the sausage into Ramon’s mouth and made him stop smiling at her.
Hailee laughed happily when Ramon pouted his lips and was forced to eat the sausage to the end and only then could he speak and ask Hailee, how did she know that Ramon would be out that night.
“Of course I know,” Hailee replied lightly. “I know that you decided to go straight to the harbor after I told you about my worries, am I wrong?”
That was right.
Ramon immediately decided to go to the place where Jayden planned to carry out his mission against the Gevano family right then and there when he heard Hailee’s concerns, therefore, it wasn’t wrong for Hailee to say that was the exact time he made that decision.
But, the problem here was…
“Why did you lie to me?” asked Ramon while pinching Hailee’s cheek softly because he was excited to see his wife’s behavior. “You could have told me, couldn’t you?”
Hailee grimaced as Ramon pinched her cheeks and then pouted as she explained. “If I didn’t pretend to be asleep, you wouldn’t have left, would you? Actually you are worried too, but you don’t want to admit it.” Hailee brushed Ramon’s hand away from her cheek and pointed at the man’s chest with her index finger.
And again, what Hailee said was true. Ramon was not used to showing his feelings, although Hailee was an exception, including their children.
Therefore, it was hard for him to admit that he was actually worried about Jayden and wanted to make sure he was okay.
“So how did you know I was with Richard?” asked Ramon Again, but before Hailee could answer the question, he had already guessed for sure. “You overheard my conversation with Richard, didn’t you?”
Hailee laughed when she saw Ramon’s expression. “I wasn’t eavesdropping, I just happened to hear it when you were talking behind the door. Therefore, next time you should check your surroundings before making a secret call,” Hailee said in an admonishing tone and this made Ramon grumble.
“Don’t keep grumbling, you are going to get old real fast, finish your food and get some rest,” Hailee said in a commanding tone, as if she was talking to Jayden when he was a kid and very difficult to manage.
“Okay,” replied Ramon, then he leaned in and kissed Hailee’s forehead. “I love you.”
And those words never failed to make Hailee laugh with pleasure, even after all these years.
“You know I love you more,” Hailee said with a laugh.
“How can it be?” Ramon frowned.
“You think it’s easy to keep up with your attitude?” Hailee tapped her finger on the tip of his nose.
“I think I can say the same thing.” And they both smirked at each other.
========================
Apple woke up because her body felt heavy, like there was something warm stuck to her body tightly, only after she opened her eyes did Apple realize why it was…
Turns out it was because of Jayden. He was asleep right beside her with his face snuggled into the arch of her shoulders and his limbs wrapped around her like the tentacles of an octopus.
No wonder Apple felt very congested, it turned out this man was the culprit.
Apple then tried to get his body off her, because he felt heavy, this man was really crushing her now.
“Hey, if you don’t wake up, I’m going to have a hard time moving,” Apple muttered, then she looked at the clock on the wall, which indicated that it was almost lunch time. No wonder she felt so hungry.
She didn’t know what time Jayden came back, but for sure, he came back after Apple had fallen asleep, so she did not know he was back.
