Chapter 698: JACK DANIELS
While Apple was talking and persuading her father to stop grumbling like this and looking so miserable because she was moving out, they both heard loud noises coming from their front porch.
And so, Apple walked out to check what was really going on that they were making so much noise.
There, on her porch, he saw Gabriel and Noah talking to a boy around the age of eight.
The boy looked frightened when questioned by the two men, while Danny watched from afar. He seemed to be talking to someone on the phone, maybe he was looking for the person who had brought the boy to this house.
“What is this?” Apple asked them both. She then turned her gaze to the boy who had been silent for a long time and looked at Gabriel with fear, because he was the most terrifying of the three bodyguards around this house.
“This boy came out of nowhere, asking to meet you,” replied Gabriel, still staring suspiciously at the boy in front of him.
However, after a thorough search, he found nothing out of the ordinary or whether he brought anything dangerous with him.
Therefore, the boy looked a little scared of Gabriel, who looked very careful and also terrifying when he searched out the boy.
“Hmm? Me?” asked Apple, pointing to herself in confusion. She could confirm that this was her first time meeting this little boy, therefore, she didn’t understand where they had met before until this little boy came looking for her. “Have we met before?”
The boy only reached Apple’s waist and looked very thin. From the clothes he was wearing, it seemed that he wasn’t from a well-to-do family.
“Are you Apple?” asked the boy timidly.
“Hmm?” Apple tilted her head and then nodded. “Yes, I am Apple, and who are you?” she asked directly. “Have we met before?”
Hearing that it was the Apple in the flesh in front of him, the boy immediately came up to her and hugged her, sobbing suddenly.
“Sis Apple… huhuhu…” the boy sobbed pitifully and this of course took Apple by surprise because she didn’t understand what was going on right now or what was really the matter with this little boy.
“Hey, you can’t do that,” Gabriel shouted. He tried to pull the boy away from Apple, but she stopped him first, signaling him to let the boy cry on her, even though she didn’t really understand what was going on
The only thing Apple could do now was pat him on the back to calm him down.
However, this crying voice caused Pyro to also come out of the house, where he saw the scene before him and frowned in confusion.
“What is this?” he asked Apple then turned his attention back to the boy. “Who is this kid?” he then turned to Gabriel and Noah, who were nearby, but they both shook their heads.
Meanwhile, Apple tried to calm the boy down and asked Noah to get him some water.
“What is it?” asked Apple when the boy’s crying had subsided a little.
By now, the boy was sitting on a bench on the terrace, while Apple sat beside him and Pyro and the three bodyguards assigned to guard the house were standing around them, curious about the little boy’s identity.
Was he abandoned by his mother?
Based on the information Danny got, one of the people who were on guard around here said that they saw the boy together with a woman in her forties. The two of them even talked for a while before the boy was left alone.
“What is your name?” asked Apple. She needed to know his name first so Gabriel or the others could find out about this boy’s background.
“Jack…” he said.
“Jack?” Apple waited until he said his full name.
“Jack Daniels…” he answered in a low voice.
“Jack Daniels as if in that…” Danny didn’t have time to finish his sentence when Gabriel had nudged him first to keep him quiet.
“Okay, Jack, how do you know my name?” asked Apple again. This boy must have had his reasons for being here as he knew to look for her.
“Mother told me,” replied the boy named Jack.
And then, Danny shared the information he got from his people around here so that, even though there was little information he could get, at least they had an idea that the woman was Jack’s mother.
“Is it your mother he is talking about?” asked Apple after Danny finished reporting the matter and Jack nodded.
Meanwhile, Gabriel tried to find out information related to the name Jack Daniels.
“Try to find Nadia Daniels,” said Pyro suddenly, instructing Gabriel. He seemed to figure out something and was sure that his guts feeling was right about this.
“Nadia Daniels?” Apple frowned and as if she had been enlightened, her eyes widened and looked at Jack in disbelief, then at her father, as if she was asking him to confirm it, if they had the same suspicion.
“Yeah, I think it’s your mother.” Pyro nodded, even before Gabriel had any definite information about Nadia Daniels.
“You’re not kidding, are you, dad?” said Apple with a wry laugh.
“Jack Daniels,” Pyro said in a tone that looked like he was trying to be patient with this madness. “It’s a name that only your mother can think of.”
“What does it mean?” asked Apple curiously and then got a look full of pity that made Apple frown. Why was that kind of look given to her?
“Did you forget why you’re called Apple?” Pyro asked his daughter a rhetorical question and could see that Apple recalled the reason.
Yes, Apple remembered well the reason why her name was Apple; her mother was very fond of apples when she was pregnant with her.
Therefore, without any particular intention and just for the sake of simplicity, her mother named her Apple.
