Novel Full Chapter 705: YOU ARE NOT INVITED
Chapter 705: YOU ARE NOT INVITED
Nadia, who tried to slap Apple, should have thought about it a dozen times before she acted on it, because the current Apple was not the same child that she could just order around and treat unfairly.
Apple had grown into a strong woman, capable of taking care of herself. Pyro had trained her very well.
And before the slap landed on Apple’s cheek, she caught Nadia’s hand and gripped it a little harder until her mother grimaced a little.
“Don’t get in my way,” Apple said, but then she pulled Nadia’s body toward her so she could whisper something in her ear. “I’m pregnant right now, but don’t expect to be in my life or in my child’s.”
Of course that made Nadia widen her eyes in disbelief, then Apple released her grip on Nadia and pushed her away from her.
“Tell that useless husband of yours too not to mess with me.” Apple glanced at James who was still grimacing, covering his bleeding nose and mouth. She snorted and opened the door to the house to leave immediately.
Hah! What else did she expect when she came here? Of course, things wouldn’t go smoothly and peacefully when it came to her mother, right?
But then Nadia followed Apple out of the house and stopped her before she reached the gate. She stood right in front of her, not letting her go.
Meanwhile, Gabriel and Danny stared intently at Nadia, but since Apple didn’t give any signal, they both stayed where they were, knowing that Apple could handle this sort of thing on her own.
“Is it true that you are pregnant?” Nadia asked with sparkling eyes, as if the information she could get from Apple’s words was all that, while the others were simply forgotten. “That means you’re getting married to Jayden in the near future, doesn’t it?”
“Yes,” Apple answered honestly because indeed all preparations were about sixty percent done and Hailee was very happy to help prepare for the wedding which Apple didn’t have any clue about.
Hailee would give Apple a few choices, ask for her opinion and then just do it as Apple wanted, so she didn’t have to stress about anything and just needed to focus on her pregnancy.
Even Apple felt that Hailee was a very reliable wedding organizer.
“In that case, I will be waiting for your invitation. And, how can I help you? I mean regarding the plans for your wedding. Actually, I’ve been planning how your wedding will be since you were little,” Nadia said cheerfully.
Well, surprise, surprise…
How could she have planned what Apple’s wedding would be like when she kicked her own daughter out?
“Then, I will start coming to your house, how much budget do you have?” Nadia then hit herself. “Ah! Of course, what does a budget mean to Jayden Tordoff? You can even spend a lot of money just on a centerpiece and my son-in-law won’t blink an eye at all.”
Apple listened with furrowed brows, letting her mother go on and on about the marriage and began to notice that Nadia had changed the way she used the word, from ‘your wedding’ to ‘our wedding’.
And of course, her mother’s motives were very clear and unquestionable.
“I never said you were invited,” said Apple at the end of Nadia’s seemingly endless chatter.
And instantly, Nadia fell silent and stared at Apple with her eyes blinking as if she couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
“What? What did you just say? There’s no way you wouldn’t invite your mother,” Nadia said, her voice sounding disbelieving, but then she got angry and this made her grip Apple’s arm. “Why do you hate me so much like that?” asked Nadia. “What have I done to you to make you hate me like this?”
“What have you done?” asked Apple with an expressionless face and then swatted away her mother’s hand that kept shaking hers. “You didn’t do anything when that guy hit me, you didn’t do anything when that guy kicked me out of the house, you didn’t do anything to help me when I was little…”
And so on and on, Apple reminded one by one what she had experienced while she lived with her mother and she would never forget those times.
And the more Apple said, the more mortified Nadia’s face looked, as if she couldn’t believe that she had committed such a long list of crimes. This woman was really funny, wasn’t she? She really didn’t realize her mistakes at all and tried to deny everything.
“So if you want to ask what you’ve done, then the answer is; nothing… you didn’t do anything for me as a mother,” Apple replied. “I don’t need you to come to my wedding and I don’t need you to help with the wedding preparations, so give up hope.”
After she said that, Apple walked away and then immediately left the house. She didn’t want to spend any more time there. With her now silent mother staring at her dumbly as no words came out of her mouth to refute this.
Because she ‘presented’ irrefutable evidence.
Meanwhile, Gabriel then opened the car door for Apple and closed it, before he and Danny too got in the car and drove it away.
Apple just wanted to see the disappointment in Nadia’s eyes when she realized that she wouldn’t be a part of her happy life later. That was the only purpose of Apple to notify of her pregnancy and wedding plans.
But, what Apple didn’t know was; there was someone who had been following her from earlier. He was the guy from the magazine Jayden had sued for spreading rumors about Apple.
The same magazine, with whom Ivan conspired to get information about Apple.
“Good afternoon, do you know Apple Duncan?” someone asked Nadia, who was still standing where she was and trying to process everything Apple had just told her.
