Chapter 572 WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT (2)

"It\'s okay, I\'m fine," Apple replied in a bit of a panic. "What about last night?" Apple really wanted to dig a deep hole and bury herself in there, never to come out again.

How could the two of them have this kind of conversation? It would be very embarrassing to discuss and Apple wasn\'t sure she could explain what had happened. It wasn\'t a topic she wanted to discuss with anyone. Apple had just forgotten what had happened until Hailee reminded her.

"It\'s okay, you can tell me. I know that my son can be stupid and be a little overwhelming to deal with." Hailee smiled very gently at Apple. "But, believe me that he is always true to his words."

Apple grimaced when she heard that, but she knew what Hailee said was true, but still, she wasn\'t sure how to openly discuss this with Hailee.

"Actually..." Apple stammered. "Actually… it was just a misunderstanding… we were both drunk and it just happened…"

Apple tried to be brief, but because there were too many details she had to omit, that was the only sentence she could think of, even though it didn\'t really explain what was going on between the two of them at all.

"Misunderstanding? It just happened?" Hailee frowned. By now, the two of them had stopped walking and only had a few more steps to go until they could step into the stables, where there were several people already waiting. "What does it mean?"

"That…" Apple stammered. She didn\'t know how to explain this well, because she didn\'t think that Hailee would find out about this at all. How did she find it out? Only Jayden knew about last night\'s events and there was no way he could tell his mother.

This kind of thing would be very embarrassing to talk about, no matter how close you were to your mother.

"Yes?" Hailee prodded. She waited for Apple\'s response, not intending at all to let her divert the topic.

"It… it just happened, because we were both feeling a little drunk. I drank quite a lot last night and I think I acted out of my mind," Apple said in a low voice.

"What kind of action?" Hailee then leaned her back against the wall behind her while watching Apple with curious eyes.

Ugh! Why did Hailee want her to go into more detail? She wouldn\'t like to know the details.

"I can\'t go into more detail," Apple said, feeling like she was on the verge of tears. "You know what things are like when a man and a woman are together in the same room."

Apple gritted her teeth tightly. She wanted to cry and disappear from this place and definitely didn\'t want to have this kind of conversation again.

"Man and woman Together in one room? But I think there were some of you and it happened outside in the open?"

"Eh?"

Were they talking about the same thing? Why was the description given by Apple so different from what actually happened? What did Apple even mean?

"Did anything else happen last night between you and Jayden?" Hailee asked. She tilted her head as if suspecting what was really going on between the two of them, her eyes scrutinizing Apple.

What really happened?

"What kind of incident are you referring to?" asked Apple carefully. She felt her face was very hot. Had she leaked the \'secret\' between herself and Jayden by accident?

"Jayden beating Brian," said Hailee bluntly, without thinking, while staring intently at Apple. "Is there anything else going on between the two of you?"

AARRGHH!

Apple wanted to scream with all her might when she heard those words. How embarrassing! Apple almost said the forbidden thing that shouldn\'t be said! Ugh!

"Oh, that beating… oh, right, that beating by Jayden," Apple parroted.

Hailee then took a tissue from the small handbag she was carrying and brushed it on Apple\'s forehead. "You\'re sweating," she said quietly. "What happened between you two until it made you so nervous?"

"Oh, no, nothing…" Apple answered so quickly, it was really hard to believe, especially when Hailee was starting to look suspicious like now and Apple had to admit that mother instincts were really sharp.

Hailee narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"There really isn\'t anything." Apple tried to confirm this, but it sounded like a desperate attempt on her part to convince Mrs. Tordoff.

"Apple…"

Apple felt her blood freeze when she heard Hailee call her name like that. "Yes…?"

"You can tell me the truth."

"Yes, Jayden\'s fight with Brian happened because Brian\'s fiancée, Tania, dared me to kiss Mark and Jayden didn\'t like it… I already refused, but Tania insisted."

After that Apple spent the next ten minutes explaining in detail the incident of the beating, there was even a part where she repeated it as if she wanted to make Hailee forget the other questions.

It was just that Hailee was so hard to fool and Apple was really in trouble right now, because Hailee wasn\'t going to let her off without getting the answers she wanted.

"Then? What about the other incident involving just you and Jayden?" Hailee asked right after Apple finished explaining the story.

Hailee questioned what happened between Jayden and Brian, because last night, Brian\'s mother came to ask her, but what she didn\'t expect was; she got more interesting information and had to dig much deeper.

"Mrs. Tordoff…"

"You can call me mom."

"Mom..."

"I am here."

"Can we talk about something else?" Apple felt like she was about to cry when she said this. How couldn\'t she? She couldn\'t possibly talk about it. Her face was very pitiful and she hoped Hailee would understand what she meant.

On the other hand, seeing Apple\'s frightened expression, Hailee gave a small smile, holding back a laugh. Oh, she\'s so cute….

"Is what I thought the same as what happened between the two of you?" Hailee asked, wanting to make sure she wasn\'t assuming wrong.

"Yes," replied Apple in a defeated tone. She looked at Hailee timidly.

"Were you forced?" Hailee asked again.

And Apple shook her head. For as long as she could remember, it was Jayden who had been forced by herself to be in that situation, therefore, Apple couldn\'t say that it was out of coercion.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Nothing you regret?"

Apple\'s face reddened even more, as she shook her head a second time. Her body felt very stiff and tense now. Ugh…

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

"Okay?" Apple parroted again. It just ended like that? Had the interrogation been completed?

"I won\'t dig into this too far if you don\'t want to talk about it," Hailee said in a much calmer voice. She then reached out her hand to gently caress Apple\'s cheek and smiled sweetly. "As long as you\'re okay, then I don\'t think there\'s anything to worry about."

Apple looked at Hailee in disbelief and was so relieved that she was able to get out of this situation so easily. This wasn\'t a situation she wanted to be stuck in with Hailee. "Thank you," Apple said quietly.

And then, Hailee took Apple\'s hand while leading her to the stables she had promised.

But, after just a few steps, Hailee had already asked Apple another question.

"He wore protection, right?" Hailee asked curiously, which made Apple\'s face even redder.

"Mrs. Tordoff."

"Mom," Hailee corrected Apple\'s words again.

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

"Should we really discuss this during the holidays?" Jayden groaned in annoyance at his father because they were discussing such boring and uninteresting things.

Well, the relationship between Jayden and Ramon could be said to be close, but of course the things they discuss were only about business where Ramon would teach everything about the Tordoff family business to his son.

But, apart from the topic of the problem, they both suck at finding different and interesting topics. Normally, Hailee would be the one to bridge the silence between the two of them, but now that Hailee wasn\'t around, the only thing they could do was have this boring conversation.

"Dad, you should be looking for other topics during your long vacation with mom, at least you can learn from her. Mom has so much to talk about, why don\'t you ever change and talk about those with me?" Jayden grunted.

"You want me to talk about the romance film your mother watched?" asked Ramon with a defiant look in his eyes that made Jayden shudder.

"No thanks," Jayden replied immediately. Just the thought of his father watching a romance film made him frown, let alone having a conversation about it. Shit, he couldn\'t imagine how awkward the situation would be between the two of them then. Just imagining it made him shudder.

"You\'re boring, unlike my wife," said Ramon.

"Excuse me, I am your son. If I\'m boring that means I got genes from you, dad," Jayden replied which then made him jump from his seat because Ramon was staring at him so intently, as if he was going to kill him. "Whoa! Calm down dad, this will not do, let\'s find our women."

That was the best idea Jayden could come up with for now, because if they were together any longer, Jayden was worried that something bad would happen.

Luckily, Ramon agreed and they both walked out to the stables, where Hailee and Apple were.

"Dad, I\'m curious," Jayden said, opening a new conversation between the two of them.

"Hmm?"

"How can mom like you?" he asked.

"Isn\'t the answer obvious?" said Ramon lightly.

"What?"

"I\'m rich, handsome, smart and full of affection."

Hearing that, the corner of Jayden\'s lips twitched. His father was a narcissist, but then he remembered that he had said the same thing.
