Chapter 214: WHY SHOULD I PICK UP TRASH?

Martha who heard the strange order could only agree and leave Hailee\'s room.

Meanwhile, Hailee was still wondering.

What made Theodore come to the Tordoff residence? How daring of him to be here? Especially at an hour he knew Ramon wouldn\'t be home.

"Ramon," Hailee called him when the phone was picked up on the second ring. "Are you busy?"

"No," replied Ramon as he put down the document in his hand. "Do you want something?"

Hailee fiddled with the hem of her dress while shaking her legs. "I want you to take me out to eat. I want to eat seafood."

Hearing his pregnant wife\'s request, of course Ramon would not refuse. He had no reason to refuse. "I will be right back to pick you up," he said softly.

Hearing that, a sweet smile bloomed on Hailee\'s lips, but then she told him what was going on at home. "Theodore came to our house."

"Why did that man come there?" Ramon frowned. "You don\'t have to see him if you don\'t want to." If Hailee didn\'t want to see the man, then there was nothing Theodore could do to force his way in.

"No, I want to see him. I wonder what he wants to tell me, considering that in two days is his wedding with Aileen," Hailee told Ramon truthfully. She didn\'t want to hide anything from him, besides, it was inevitable that Ramon would find this out sooner or later and Hailee would prefer if he learned about this from her herself.

Ramon was silent for three full seconds, seemingly, thinking about the decision Hailee had made. "Bring Pyro with you, I don\'t want you alone with him."

Hearing this, Hailee laughed cheerfully. "He can\'t possibly hurt me in my own house, but I will take Pyro with me." Hailee didn\'t let Ramon protest and immediately agreed to her husband\'s suggestion.

"Good, I will be home soon." After he finished saying this, Ramon then hung up the phone and prepared to go home early.

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

"How long do we have to wait like this!?" Theodore was getting more and more annoyed as if hours had been wasted waiting for them to open the gate for him. He felt very unappreciated.

If Hailee really didn\'t want to see him, they could just say so, no need to tell him to wait for a long time.

Theodore had never waited for someone this long, especially in situations and conditions where he had to wait outside the fence of that person\'s house. This is so disrespectful!

"But they haven\'t opened the gate for us yet," the driver told Theodore what the obvious thing.

At this point, Theodore couldn\'t say anything. Because, he didn\'t want to make a fuss in front of the Tordoff residence. George\'s fatal mistake of provoking and seeking trouble with Ramon was one example enough for him to be careful with his actions.

Five minutes later, only after Theodore began to consider leaving the place, did the gates finally open and they were ushered in, having been told that Ramon\'s house was the first house they would come across after driving down this path.

This was Theodore\'s first time entering one of the five most respected families\' houses in city A and he was still stunned by the beauty of the place.

On the right and left sides of the road, the beautiful line of aesthetic trees which were thriving and were neatly maintained and not only that, before reaching the main house, they also passed a beautiful artificial lake, complete with a pedestrian bridge.

The thought of Hailee living in a place like this and being the hostess of a place as grand as this, left Theodore with mixed feelings. He felt a little uncomfortable and bothered by that fact.

It took about five minutes to get to the main house and finally Theodore\'s car stopped at a magnificent house that had such an antique and charming decor.

Theodore immediately got down and walked toward the main door, where only a few maids greeted him.

"I would like to meet Hailee," Theodore said, slightly awkward because he assumed Hailee would be waiting to welcome him and not these maids.

"Yes, we have been informed of this," said a maid who introduced herself as Martha. "Mrs. Tordoff will be down in a moment."

Theodore didn\'t say anything after that and followed them into the living room, where they usually received guests.

After asking what Theodore would like to drink, Martha and the several other maids left, leaving Theodore alone there. Not even giving the man a chance to ask where Hailee was.

While waiting, Theodore continuously looked around the room and made himself comfortable there.

At first, Theodore thought he was going to meet Hailee right away, but in fact, even until the drink he wanted came, Hailee\'s figure was nowhere in sight and what was even more annoying was that Theodore didn\'t get a chance to inquire about Hailee\'s whereabouts and had to wait again.

Did Hailee ridicule him by doing this?

Various bad thoughts began to fill Theodore\'s mind and made the man feel even more disorganized.

Luckily, this time, he didn\'t have to wait long, because a moment later the door to the room opened and Hailee stepped inside.

Her demeanour was so graceful when she walked.

Hailee wore white corduroy pants combined with a matching oversized tee shirt. The clothes she wore looked simple, but also looked homey, showing who the owner of the house was.

Theodore didn\'t remember how long it had been since he last saw Hailee, but every time they met, this woman always seemed to be getting more and more attractive, making him question his decision to prefer a liar and deceitful woman like Aileen over Hailee.

Maybe what people say was true, that; every woman will shine differently depending on how her partner treats her. And this was evidenced by Hailee, how she looked much happier now than when she was in a relationship with Theodore.

"How\'s it going Hailee?" Theodore asked softly, his eyes not leaving the woman who was now sitting on the sofa so gracefully that he failed to notice the presence of Pyro, who was standing right in front of the door.

"As you can see," Hailee smiled back at Theodore. "I am much better off than you are."

In just one glance, Hailee knew that Theodore was going through a major crisis in his life that was greatly pressuring him.

"So, what made you look for me?" Hailee then added. "Exactly two days before your wedding, you came to meet your ex- fiancé? Aileen won\'t be happy about this." Hailee quipped.

Theodore understood very well what Hailee meant by saying that and he had no right to be angry with her, especially after he found out what Aileen had done to Hailee.

"I know you are mad at me for choosing Aileen over you," Theodore began. He then sat down on the sofa, opposite Hailee with his head lowered. "I shouldn\'t have done something like that to you."

On the other hand, Hailee really didn\'t have any clue as to what Theodore really wanted to say or what this man\'s actual purpose for coming here was. Theodore\'s convoluted way of speaking annoyed Hailee, because she was used to Ramon\'s style of always speaking straight to the point.

"What kind of thing?" Hailee rested her head on her fist, leaning back against the back of the chair. She didn\'t seem too enthusiastic about Theodore\'s chatter. "There are a lot of disgusting things you did together with Aileen without my knowledge, which if I had to list out... I am afraid it wouldn\'t be finished until tomorrow." That\'s an exaggeration, but it could be true.

It was only then that Theodore raised his head and looked at Hailee with a look full of guilt and shame.

"I found out what happened between you and Roland Dimatrio, as soon as I left the hotel where we met. When I said that I prefer Aileen." Theodore admitted it. "I\'m sorry that I didn\'t realize what actually was going on."

Okay, this was quite surprising for Hailee because Theodore managed to find out what happened between her and Roland Dimatrio. But of course, this was not shown by Hailee on her facial expression.

"All of that already happened and I\'m fine. In fact, if it weren\'t for that incident, I wouldn\'t be where I am today," Hailee said nonchalantly, as if she didn\'t remember the incident anymore. What for? There was nothing she had to remember about that night\'s events.

Meanwhile, Theodore fell silent for a moment when Hailee answered so, but then he made a statement that made Hailee raise her eyebrows.

"Are you happy to be here?" he asked. "Or, are you using this marriage to protect yourself from Roland Dimatrio and Aileen\'s influence? Ramon gave his protection to you in exchange for this marriage, didn\'t he?"

Shelter from Roland Dimatrio and Aileen?

Well, it was like that at first, but that statement was not appropriate to say now. Couldn\'t Theodore see that Hailee was really happy right now?

Moreover, Roland Dimatrio was in prison now and had no influence. While Aileen, Hailee would destroy that woman with her own hands, not to mention the mystery behind the murder of her parents which was still so painful to her after hearing Ramon mentioning it.

Hailee raised an eyebrow. "What are you really trying to say Theodore? There\'s no way you came here just to say that, right? After all, it\'s already happened and there\'s nothing you can do to change anything."

Theodore fell silent again, he then looked around the room and found Pyro who was looking at him coldly, as if the mountainof a man was trying to drive him away with his gaze alone, as if his presence here was not expected at all.

However, Theodore interpreted that differently.

"You don\'t have your freedom here?" Theodore asked.

"Freedom?" Hailee didn\'t understand why Theodore kept changing the topic of their conversation. Had this man almost gone insane because the time of his marriage to Aileen was getting closer?

"You\'re always being watched." Theodore then nodded toward Pyro.

Only then did Hailee understand what Theodore meant. "Of course I can ask him to leave, but for what? I don\'t have any important conversations to cover up. Do you?"

"Hailee, if you want… we can go back to how we used to be," Theodore said, ignoring Hailee\'s words.

"Like we used to be?" Hailee snorted. "You\'re like picking up trash that you\'ve thrown away."

"No." Theodore shook his head vigorously. "You\'re not trash, I\'m the trash."

Hearing that, a sinister and sly smile appeared on the corners of Hailee\'s lips. "So, why do you think I should pick up some trash?"
