Chapter 212: HAILEE! DON\'T MESS AROUND!

On the other end of the phone, Giana made sure that Chloe confirmed this new order and without waiting long, she ended the call.

Without the sound of her own chatter or any other noise, the apartment room could be said to be very quiet. The only sound that reverberated in there was the faint sounds of the vehicles from below, sounding so faint that it was almost like a hum.

Slowly, Giana stood up and walked to the large, ceiling to the floor windows, pulled back the white curtains and gazed out at the glittering night and the shining city lights.

"It\'s just started Aidan," Giana mumbled. Revenge and hatred permeated off of every word she spoke. "I will destroy you and get what I deserved long ago."

For a moment, her and Ramon\'s problems were kept aside, but that didn\'t mean Giana had forgotten about them altogether. Oh, of course not. Bringing back Ramon\'s memories along with the memories of their time together, would be next on Giana\'s agenda.

She wouldn\'t just let Ramon go into the hands of that woman named Hailee. Now that she was going to meet Hailee Tatum\'s older sister, Giana was feeling all the more enthusiastic and full of curiosity.

What was the deal between Aileen Tatum and Aidan Smith? The two of them shouldn\'t know each other. But, why did Aileen Tatum seem to know more about Aidan and his affair?

What was with the Tatum family? Giana felt that she was hearing this one particular family name more and more often. Very annoying.

"What are you doing in my kitchen so early?" Hailee was surprised to see that Lexus was already at her house and was skimming through the kitchen.

Maybe it was because Hailee was feeling better or maybe because she had been sleeping soundly lately, this morning she woke up earlier than Ramon, unlike usual.

Therefore, Hailee thought of taking this opportunity to make Ramon breakfast. She missed cooking so much, because last night\'s chicken cordon bleu couldn\'t be counted as something that was made by her.

"I was looking for the leftover chicken cordon bleu from last night. As I recall, there were two more portions left and you put them in the fridge." Lexus was still trying to find the food he was looking for. "I am not going to waste my hard earned cooking."

"The dishes you made yourself?" Hailee sneered. "Wasn\'t all you have done could be counted down to chopping the raw materials alone?"

"Hey, don\'t underestimate my efforts. Cutting also requires good technique and skill, otherwise the spices won\'t be absorbed properly." Lexus reprimanded Hailee for her comment.

"Too bad, I finished the rest of the chicken last night, because I was too hungry," Hailee said lightly. She sat on a bar stool, propping her chin, watching Lexus\'s reactions which were quite entertaining.

"What?" Lexus turned his body in a dramatic motion, while behind him, the refrigerator door closed with a loud noise. "You ate both at the same time?"

"Huh um." Hailee nodded. "I was suddenly hungry last night."

"But, a few hours before you went to bed, you had eaten quite a lot," Lexus protested, disapproving that the chicken he wanted had been disappeared. "How can you still be hungry?"

"I am pregnant, remember?" Then Hailee gently touched her flat stomach, making Lexus lose his argumentative ability. What else was he supposed to say when Hailee said she was hungry?

Last night, Hailee woke up because she suddenly felt hungry and wanted to finish the chicken cordon bleu made by Ramon and Lexus.

And when Hailee was just about to get out of the bed, it turned out that Ramon also woke up, so they both finished the food. Only after Hailee felt her stomach was full, could she sleep again soundly.

"Huft," Lexus snorted. "You are using your pregnancy to eat late at night, otherwise you would have thought twice before eating so late."

"Why? Are you jealous?" Hailee teased.

"Jealous? Of course not, we Tordoff men, have perfect bodies without the need to try hard," said Lexus proudly.

Hailee stuck out her tongue when she heard that. "If this was said by Ramon, of course I would have believed it."

"Hey, I\'m his brother, so there\'s no difference between the two of us." Lexus protested again while sitting across from Hailee. "Okay, since I\'m being generous, this morning I will make breakfast for you, what do you want for breakfast?"

"You are going to make breakfast for me?" Hailee asked, she raised her eyebrows, but a smile spread across her lips. "It was just last night that you learned how to cook and now you\'re getting ready to whip up something again?" Hailee teased.

"Of course not, I just wanted to make something for my future nephew," Lexus defended himself and they both knew it was the most ridiculous excuse ever.

"Surprise me," said Hailee. "I love surprises."

"Okay!" Lexus then snapped his fingers confidently, but then he asked Hailee to close her eyes.

"Why should I close my eyes, what are you going to do?" Hailee looked at Lexus suspiciously. "Are you going to put something weird in my food later?" Her eyes narrowed probingly.

Of course, being treated like this made Lexus scowl, he clutched his chest dramatically, as if he was in extreme pain.

"How could you suspect your own brother- in- law like that? I\'m not a criminal," Lexus protested with a hurt expression on. "Besides, if something happened to you while you were with me, do you think Ramon would let me live in peace?"

Hailee chuckled at Lexus\' childish grunts. People out there would not expect that Lexus had this side to him and Lexus only showed this attitude more often when he was around people who could make him feel comfortable.

"Okay, okay..." Hailee relented. She then raised her palms to cover her eyes and let Lexus do whatever he wanted to do without being seen.

But, what made Hailee stop laughing was, Lexus asking her to lower her hands in just two minutes. What kind of food could he make in such a short period of time?

"You can see now. This is the breakfast I made especially for you," Lexus said in a proud voice, serving Hailee a bowl of breakfast.

"What is this? You think I\'m five years old?" Hailee stared at the cereal with milk in the bowl in front of her. Not only that, it was certain that the cereal was specifically for small children, based on its shape.

Where the hell he found this?

On the other hand, this time, it was Lexus turn to laugh. "You said, you wanted a surprise, are you surprised enough now?"

================

For some reason, Zia still kept avoiding meeting Aidan. She would always come up with a reason to make the man cancel his intention to come to see her himself.

It was not that Zia didn\'t miss Aidan, of course she missed him, but there was a part of her that felt that she didn\'t want to be in a relationship like this forever.

In the past, this would have looked challenging in Zia\'s eyes, when she was younger, when she first met Aidan.

At a time where her head was filled with absurd romantic fantasies, that they could have a happily ever after.

But, like most fantasy stories, it was just a fantasy and Zia had reached the point where she had to face the reality before her.

Was this the kind of life she wanted? How long would Aidan\'s troubles last? Not to mention about the added problem of his divorce with Giana. That meant it would take a long time before Aidan could introduce herself to the public, so as not to attract attention and become the centre of the gossip again.

And she couldn\'t forget the rumors that circulated about Aidan\'s affair with a mysterious woman just a few days ago either.

Zia felt like she almost had a heart attack when she heard this. Even though her identity was never revealed even after the rumors disappeared, it didn\'t lessen her fears in any way.

Zia couldn\'t imagine her father\'s wrath when he found out what she had beendoing all this time and the shame she had brought upon the Tatum family.

No, Zia didn\'t want to live like that.

Maybe it was that fear that made Zia rethink everything from scratch, consider all possibilities and find the best solution for all of this.

Leave Aidan.

Her heart repeatedly whispered this and subconsciously, Zia knew that it was the best decision.

However, there was a part of her that was still reluctant to let go of the memories that had been woven together over the years.

Maybe Zia just hadn\'t realized it, that she was still attached to the memories of the two of them and how their relationship used to be, not about the man himself now or the situation they were currently facing.

Especially when so much had happened between the two of them recently and Zia\'s previous decision to really want to end their relationship.

And again the fact that Aidan had slept with Aileen was a big issue here, and without Zia knowing herself, it also seemed to be one of the triggers for her change of heart.

Zia\'s feelings toward Aidan had taken a turn.

================

"Hey, you don\'t feel anything strange?" Lexus asked while taking a sip of his tea because Haileeopposed when he was about to make coffee. Hearing that word alone made Hailee frown.

"What?" Hailee took a bite of her toast. Finally they asked Martha to toast somebread for both of them.

"It\'s unusual that Ramon haven\'t woken up until now," Lexus glanced at the door. He thought his brother would join them when breakfast was ready, but as it turned out, even after he finished his third toast, Ramon\'s figure was nowhere to be seen. "Don\'t tell me he\'s going to take another leave?!"

This time Lexus widened his eyes at Hailee with accusing eyes, as if Ramon\'s last time off was Hailee\'s suggestion.

"I do not know," Hailee raised her hand. "I never interfere in his work," she argued defensively.

But, when Hailee thought about it again, she realizedit was quite strange that Ramon hadn\'t woken up even at this hour.

"I\'ll check on him," Hailee then drank her warm water and immediately walked out of the kitchen.

But, before she completely disappeared from Lexus\'s line of sight, her annoying brother-in-law still managed to shout something at her.

"Don\'t make out too long okay! We\'ll both be late for the office!" Lexus exclaimed, half teasingly.

Hailee, who heard that of course, immediately turned around and smirked at Lexus. "What\'s the point of being the owner of a company if you can\'t even come late?" Hailee then glanced at Lexus innocently.

"Hailee, don\'t mess around!"
