Chapter 580 INSTANT NOODLES
Chapter 580 INSTANT NOODLES
Jayden felt so exhausted after everything that had happened. He felt all his energy had left his body by the time he returned to the room and found Apple had fallen asleep.The doctor who treated her must have given her a sedative, so she didn't wake up, even when Jayden kissed her forehead.
"How are you?" Hailee asked as she walked over to her son who was sitting on the side of the bed, looking at Apple with his soft and tired eyes.
"I am fine," Jayden replied. He then gave his mother a small smile and kissed her cheek. "I think I'll rest for a bit."
"Then I will leave you two. I will ask Adrian to keep watch around here," said Hailee, who got a nod from Jayden. He agreed, just too tired to say anything.
At that, Hailee didn't say much anymore and then left the room, leaving the two of them alone. The two needed a really peaceful break.
After his mother went out of the room, Jayden immediately took off his clothes and took a shower to freshen himself up a bit, besides he didn't want to sleep with others' blood all over his body. He wouldn't even approach Apple in a dirty state like that.
And after Jayden finished his shower, he immediately lay down next to Apple, pulled the girl closer and hugged her tightly, and instantly felt comfort overtake him which made him fall asleep faster.
He felt grateful to be able to hug his woman now…
=======================
Apple woke up when she felt her body was too warm, there was someone who was hugging her very tightly, almost making her feel suffocated.
Who was it?
With great difficulty, Apple finally managed to open her eyes and found Jayden holding her very tightly, even when she was asleep, making Apple's body sweat.
Ugh. She should have guessed this...
Apple then wiggled her body, writhing, to get out of Jayden's embrace, but that didn't seem to work. He was hugging her really tight and when she tried to free herself, Jayden just hugged her even tighter.
This of course made Apple realize one thing. "You're awake." It was not a question but an accusation.
Jayden was awake and now he was just messing with her.
There was no response from Jayden, nor was there any change in his facial expression, but Apple could tell that he was already awake with the way his breathing changed from even to ragged.
"Let go of me, Jayden, you're making it hard for me to breathe. It's almost suffocating when you're like this," Apple protested at him, but Jayden still didn't care. He was very reluctant to let her go, no matter what the girl said. "You'll regret it if you don't let me go." This time Apple threatened him.
"Shut up… we still have plenty of time to go back to sleep. You need some time to rest too, don't you? You're hurt," Jayden said, then he opened his eyes to find Apple with her lips pursed while staring at him fiercely. "You don't have to look at me like that. You should rest or I will take you to the hospital to be treated there. Your choice."
Not too long ago, Apple was out of the hospital and of course she didn't want to go there again anytime soon, especially when she felt there was nothing to worry about. She was not in danger or in a life-and-death situation.
"Not too long ago, you broke your leg and now, you sprained your ankle. At this rate, you could end up in a worse case scenario, you know?" Jayden scolded her a little because she wouldn't stay still.
One of the reasons why Apple got hurt more easily was because of what happened at her house some time ago, when there were several people who wanted to harm her.
Therefore, when events like this happened again, Jayden felt very annoyed with himself for letting Apple get hurt time and again. He felt very helpless and this was a feeling he didn't like at all.
"If you continue being like this, I could end up in an even worse case scenario by not being able to breathe," Apple said in a grumbling voice. She tried to push Jayden away. "You're making it hard for me to breathe," she protested.
"But I want to hug you," Jayden replied in a low voice, like a child being scolded by their mother.
"No, move away from me a little," Apple grumbled. Jayden's body felt very hot from being attached to hers and this made her a little uncomfortable.
Just then, Jayden's cell phone rang and he groaned in frustration as the noise continued to annoy him, which ultimately forced him to give into Apple and pick up the annoying phone call that was coming from Misha.
Having managed to escape from Jayden's arms, Apple immediately rolled to her side on the bed and continued to sleep. It seemed, the drugs given by the doctor last night were still effective on her.
Not long after, Apple fell back asleep and she could no longer hear what Jayden was saying to Misha, although she wanted to hear the conversation a little longer because Jayden's tone turned very serious when he started speaking.
This must have something to do with yesterday's attack and Apple wanted to follow its progress, however, as soon as Apple turned around and felt the cool morning air, she was unable to fight her drowsiness and fell asleep almost immediately.
"Do you have any proof?" Jayden asked, leaning against the wall, staring intently at Apple, watching how the woman fell asleep and no longer cared about her surroundings.
Jayden listened to what Misha had to say for a while, then the phone call ended. He fell silent in contemplation.
Jayden looked like he was deep in thought, the expression on his face was getting more and more dangerous. However, as soon as Apple's calm sleeping face entered his line of sight, he shook his head slowly and gave a small smile before finally approaching the girl.
Jayden knelt on the side of the bed, staring at his woman and kissing her forehead gently.
"Sorry for not protecting you in time, I'll be better after this and make sure you don't get hurt at all," Jayden whispered to Apple, rubbing her rosy cheeks. "What have you done to me? Why do I feel so comfortable with you?"
It was a question Jayden kept asking himself. He felt Apple made him feel different.
"Will you marry me?" Of course, the question did not get any answer, but when Jayden asked this important question, he did not hesitate at all. There was nothing that made him question his decision.
This was very strange, but also a relief, because he thought he would not be with anyone in a serious relationship for the next few years.
But, now that he had found Apple and developed these feelings for her, Jayden felt a little giddy because this was his first serious relationship, while what he had before was just a fling right here and there.
Therefore, he wanted to make this relationship work.
Perhaps, it was time for Jayden to start asking for his mother's ring, which was the heirloom of the Tordoff family.
For some reason, Alina, his older sister, didn't get the ring, so of course the heirloom would fall into his hands.
======================
"Did I wake you up?" Jayden asked when he found Apple staring at him. He deliberately didn't leave Apple alone in the room, and chose to do the rest of his work today via his laptop by sitting by the girl's side.
"No, I woke up because I am hungry," said Apple in a low voice. She glanced at the window and found that it was already night. If she hadn't been injured, she might have explored the beautiful places in this resort. Too bad… "Did I miss dinner?"
Of course, Apple was starving because she had been asleep almost all day.
"Yeah, you missed dinner. What do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you." Jayden then reached for the phone by his bedside, preparing to order food for his woman.
Apple pursed her lips, contemplating what she wanted to eat. On a cold night like this, of course eating something hot would be very pleasant.
"I want to eat instant noodles."
"Instant noodle?" Jayden's brows furrowed when he heard that and this also made Apple frown.
"What's the matter?"
"You mean noodles, don't you?"
"Yes, instant noodles. Haven't you ever eaten instant noodles?" asked Apple, her eyes widened in surprise. It was the most common and inexpensive, but delicious, food that Apple thought everyone had eaten at least once in their lifetime.
But, to Apple's surprise, Jayden shook his head.
"Seriously? Do you live under a rock?"
"No, sometimes I live in a three-story mansion, or in a penthouse, or in a five-star hotel." Jayden smirked when he saw Apple's annoyed expression. He knew it was an idiom, but Jayden took it seriously.
"Are you showing off your wealth?"
Jayden laughed when he heard that. "I just wanted to impress you a little." He then leaned in to kiss Apple's lips. "But, after all, someday, what's mine will be yours too."
Apple sneered but then she patted Jayden's shoulder and her eyes sparkled with joy. "How about you try eating instant noodles? There will always be a first time for everything."
"I'm not sure they have instant noodles here," said Jayden skeptically.
"You have so many subordinates and you can't make them find a packet of instant noodles that you can find anywhere?" asked Apple, exaggeratedly.
