Chapter 682: SENSITIVE
After realizing the stupid things she had done thinking this was just a dream, Apple felt like digging a hole and disappearing from this place.
While on the other hand, Hailee was not at all offended, she actually found what Apple was doing was very entertaining. "No need to feel guilty, you're so cute when you're confused like that," Hailee said, waving her hand casually.
Meanwhile, Ramon just stared at Apple before he said. "Do we need to go to the doctor to have your head checked?" he asked in a serious tone, even the expression on his face showed how serious he was.
This might sound like a joke to others, but actually, Ramon was really worried about his daughter-in-law, especially since she was pregnant with his grandchild.
However, this way of conveying concern might sound a little strange when it was Ramon who said it, because he was not used to showing too much emotion if it didn't involve Hailee.
"Ramon is just worried about you because you look a little dazed," Hailee said as she walked over to Ramon and kissed his cheek. "She's fine, it's the same as when someone has moments like when they dream while walking, nothing to worry about."
"She should also be checked if it was the case," Ramon said with a frown as he looked at Apple. "You should get a thorough check-up," he said firmly, leaving no room for discussion.
Meanwhile, Apple could only wince and nod. The men in the Tordoff family really overreacted to things like this it seemed.
And luckily, Hailee was around, so she was able to neutralize the situation and knew exactly the right way to deal with Ramon's excessive worries.
"Why don't you go ahead and have a chat with Pyro? I will prepare food for you guys," Hailee said cheerfully, she had been wanting to cook something for Apple for a long time and now she had the opportunity to do it and she would go all out.
The last time they visited the island was weeks ago, and Hailee missed cooking something for Apple and Jayden.
"Okay," replied Ramon very obediently, he then took his coffee and walked out of the kitchen, but when he passed Apple, he could see that the woman was frowning. "Why? You don't like this smell?" he asked, thrusting his cup of coffee in Apple's face, which made the girl immediately turn away.
Ugh.
If he knew she didn't like the smell of coffee, Ramon shouldn't have shoved the coffee cup right under Apple's nose just to make a point of his words.
"Yeah… the smell of coffee has been giving me a headache lately," Apple admitted. She looked at Ramon shyly, biting her lip. She wanted to scream at him to get the coffee out of her face, but of course she couldn't really do anything about it, could she?
"Strange," commented Ramon.
"Eh?" Apple blinked her eyes. She tried to hold her breath so as not to inhale the smell of the coffee, because until now, Ramon still didn't get it out of Apple's face. "What's so strange?"
And Hailee was the one who answered the question. "Even I didn't like the smell of coffee when I was pregnant," Hailee replied cheerfully.
On the other hand, Ramon was frowning and just when Apple thought he was going to say something, the man stepped out of the kitchen to look for Pyro.
Well, now who was the weird one here?
"Leave him alone, he really likes to be mysterious sometimes," said Hailee, taking Apple's hand. "Even after decades of being with him, I still can't understand him," Hailee smirked as she said that. It was obvious the love she had for Ramon was great and vice versa.
Even after so many decades together, their love only got multiplied and Apple hoped that she and Jayden would just be like the two of them. She desperately wanted a family like Ramon and Hailee had and had children grow up in such a family.
"Now, what would you like to eat? I've bought a lot of groceries that you might like, I was going to ask you, but you were still sleeping," said Hailee, reminding her of the incident in Apple's room when she thought she was still dreaming. "And after I asked the bodyguards here, they said that lately you've been ordering calamari a lot, would you like to eat that?"
Apple didn't know what to say, because how could someone like Hailee Tordoff go to extra lengths to find out what food she wanted to eat and for some reason, this only made Apple feel a little sore in her eyes and without realizing she started tearing up.
"Whoa? Why? What is it?" Hailee asked in a bit of a panic when she saw Apple actually cry after she offered to make her calamari. Did she say the wrong thing? "What is it? Why are you crying?"
Apple then hugged Hailee and sobbed harder. Oh, how nice it was to have a mother like this who cared for her.
"Well, there's no need to cry, if you really want calamari, you just have to tell me," Hailee said calming her daughter-in-law. She patted her back gently.
And Hailee's words actually made Apple laugh, of course it wasn't because she wanted calamari and they both knew that. But, Apple seemed to be a little sensitive because of this pregnancy. It really made her cry easily.
"Alright, no need to cry, you just have to tell me what you want to eat. Okay?" Hailee then gently wiped Apple's tears from her face. "You've heard from Jayden, haven't you, that I'm a very good cook?"
Apple laughed. "Yes, I heard about it."
=========================
"My mom and dad are at Apple's house?" Jayden wanted to facepalm himself when he heard the news from Adrian. Why did he receive this news so late?
He didn't even know his parents were in the country until after they got to Apple's house.
