Chapter 662 WHAT IF JAYDEN LEFT YOU?
Chapter 662 WHAT IF JAYDEN LEFT YOU?
The drinks and food that Apple ordered had arrived and after the waitress served them all, she left and from a distance, Apple could see Adrian and a bodyguard who came with him drinking coffee and eating their food.Only, Apple frowned when she saw Adrian sipping his coffee. For some reason, she didn't like seeing people drinking coffee these days, the smell made her feel dizzy.
"Mom has been to your place everyday for the last two weeks," Nadia finally said, while Apple was enjoying her calamari. "But you're not home," Nadia said sadly.
She then cut the cake in front of her and started talking about a few other things about how she came almost every day to Apple's house but no one was there.
"I thought you had moved to a much better place without telling me, therefore, I was very happy to see you standing at the door today," said Nadia with a sweet smile on her lips.
The last two weeks? How about the last few years? What had she done to try to reach her when her guilt had been haunting her for years?
Move to a nicer place? Apple could see where this conversation was going.
"Yeah, I stayed at Jayden's apartment while dad's in the hospital," Apple said lightly. She knew very well that her mother would be surprised to hear that she had been living in Jayden's apartment.
And of course, Nadia didn't disappoint her at all. Her shocked face and wide eyes made Apple couldn't help but sigh and finish the food she ordered faster.
"You went over to live in Jayden Tordoff's apartment?" Nadia wanted to confirm this first and then shook her head in disbelief. "Then why did you come back? You shouldn't have to come back! You should just stay there. Why did you come back to your father's ugly house?" Nadia grumbled.
But, then her eyes saw the ring on Apple's hand. It was her engagement ring and it was the heirloom of the famous Tordoff family and of course, because Nadia knew the Tordoff family from Pyro, more or less she knew the ring and she had also seen the ring worn by Hailee Tordoff before.
"This… this…" she stammered, pointing at the ring that wrapped nicely on Apple's finger. She didn't know what to say anymore at this point.
Only, Apple, knowing what she was looking at, immediately pulled her hand off the table, out of Nadia's sight, but before she could do so, her mother had reached out her hand quickly and clasped it, gazing in awe at the ring on Apple's hand.
"This is the Tordoff family's very precious heirloom ring, isn't it?" she asked enthusiastically. "So, you two are engaged? You guys are already at that serious stage? Then when are you planning your wedding?"
Quickly, Apple shook off her mother's hand, but she didn't stop to eat, there was at least one thing she enjoyed at a time like this.
"Apple!" Nadia raised her voice because Apple was completely ignoring her, but this only made her glance at Nadia before she continued eating again. This calamari was delicious… "Tell mom that the rumors are not true. That you don't have an affair with that male model. How could you cheat on a guy like Jayden Tordoff?!"
Apple just glanced lazily at her mother without saying anything and at this point, she was certain that what she suspected was true regarding the real reason why her mother had come to her.
She really wanted to laugh at herself for giving this woman a chance to talk, but at least the calamari was delicious…
Apple then raised her hand and called the waitress who had served them. "I want two to take home," she said with a smile.
"Apple!" cried her mother in annoyance, but then she looked at the waitress as well. "Add two more to take home but in a different bag," she said.
Apple could only shake her head; she didn't know what her father saw in this mother of hers so he could be with her, but then, they never really had a serious relationship, because Nadia's pregnancy with Apple was an unintentional 'accident'.
"You haven't answered mother's question," Nadia said firmly as she looked at Apple, who was now munching on her calamari, which was now reduced to a few pieces. "You're not having an affair with that male model, are you? Like the stupid media say?" Nadia lowered her voice, as if someone would hear what she said, even though it was actually just the two of them, Adrian, and the other bodyguard who was with Adrian here.
"If the media is really stupid, why do you believe it?" asked Apple in a low voice. She then raised her head to look at her mother. "So you came to me just to make sure I wasn't cheating on Jayden Tordoff?" she asked.
Her mother looked a little flustered, but then she scowled, as if Apple had said something that had offended her. "Of course not, I came to you because I missed you and wanted to see you, and also because I wanted to apologize for what I did earlier."
"Which deed? You don't even know where you went wrong, but you keep insisting on apologizing," Apple said calmly as she finished the last piece of her calamari.
"I'm just worried that you will ruin your own life, is that a mistake?" asked Nadia with a slightly changed attitude. She looked at Apple with an annoyed look. "You shouldn't be around that male model, what if Jayden thinks you're having an affair with that guy and leaves you?"
This time Apple actually laughed when she heard that and leaned over.
"Jayden knows me a lot better than that, he's not going to leave me just because of some stupid news from the media that's nearly bankrupt now."
