Chapter 63: IT HURTS SO MUCH!
As soon as Hailee saw Alex open the door to her bedroom and ask her to get out of the place where Roland had been holding her for the past few hours, she knew that Ramon had managed to crush that old sleazy ball.
And what\'s more, Hailee knew that she would be fine after this man\'s arrival.
As she passed Alex, Hailee deliberately stopped and cast a sharp glare at him, before she walked toward the front door where Ramon was waiting.
At first, Hailee thought the two of them might be talking in the living room or other room in this house, but it turned out that Ramon didn\'t come into the house at all and was actually standing in the front yard, staring boringly at the old attorney.
However, that didn\'t matter to Hailee now, as she was happy enough just to see Ramon there. Looking all relaxed and handsome as usual.
Leaning against the car behind him, Ramon stared at Roland with lazy eyes, as if he didn\'t think much of the district attorney.
Seeing this, Hailee really wanted to laugh out loud. She didn\'t make the wrong choice after all, choosing Ramon Tordoff indeed was a jackpot!
Her heart seemed to jump out of her chest with pleasure, but what Hailee did next, was completely different from how she felt.
When she stepped out of the house, the expression on her happy face and the triumphant smile on her lips, immediately vanished, replaced by a face full of sadness and fear, as if Roland had just tormented her sadistically.
This insta change in Hailee\'s facial expression stunned even Alex, who was walking beside her, he didn\'t realize what this girl was up to until she ran toward Ramon with open arms and hugged him tightly.
"He slapped me…" Hailee whined, her voice so pathetic as if Roland had just killed her entire family. "Look…" the girl lifted her head and showed the side of her face that was red, from Aileen\'s slap, not Roland\'s.
"What?" Roland was no less surprised, let alone slapping, he hadn\'t even touched her since Hailee set foot in his house.
"He slapped you?" Ramon squinted his eyes, the lazy look from his eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by a stern expression as he clenched his jaw in annoyance at seeing the side of Hailee\'s face that was so red.
"What? No!" Roland rejected it at that instant itself, he felt his blood turn cold under Ramon\'s piercing gaze. "I didn\'t slap her. Hailee, stop lying!" scolded Roland angrily. "Aileen slapped you, not me!"
But, instead of answering that, Hailee sobbed against Ramon\'s chest while the man tapped him on the shoulder with a slightly confused expression.
Even if it was true that Roland had slapped Hailee, Ramon didn\'t think it would make this girl cry this sad, would it?
However, as if to answer Ramon\'s confusion, Hailee then said, "What if the swelling didn\'t go away during our marriage? I don\'t want to be caught on camera with swollen cheeks."
Right at that moment, Ramon understood what Hailee wanted.
This girl ...
If Ramon and Hailee were alone, the man would have pinched her red cheeks because she had such a strong urge for extracting revenge.
Unfortunately, under so many pairs of eyes watching them closely, Ramon could only accommodate Hailee\'s wish.
"Mr. Dimatrio, I won\'t forget this." Ramon squeezed Hailee\'s shoulder lightly, asking her quietly to end her acting.
Hailee raised her head with a frown. Her forehead creased and looked at Ramon as if to say; just like that?
"Let\'s go home," said Ramon in an indisputable voice.
Hailee pursed her lips and wiped her tears on the shirt Ramon was wearing on purpose, then cast a disapproving look at Roland.
Hailee was glad that Ramon was here and knowing his nature, he must have done something to repay what Roland did to her, right? But, why were they going back so soon, when Hailee wanted to see more?
"We\'ll get to city A very late if we stay here any longer," said Ramon, opening the door for Hailee.
"Mr. Tordoff, believe me, Aileen slapped her," Roland was still trying to convince Ramon, but the man didn\'t even look at him before he got into the car.
What is this?
"Mr. Tordoff, that girl is very cunning! You have to check her background and you will find out that you have been lied to!" cried Roland as the car sped away.
==============
"You can stop crying now," Ramon said, glancing at Hailee, then at the wet stain on his shirt from the girl\'s tears. With a deep frown on his forehead, Ramon grabbed the tissue and started cleaning it.
This girl is really troublesome ...
"Just like that? You didn\'t do anything after he kidnapped me?!" Hailee really stopped crying, but her face turned fierce as she cast an irritated look at Ramon. "He kidnapped me!" Hailee confirmed again.
"Of course I understand, why do you think I came all the way here?" Ramon replied to Hailee\'s words and threw the tissue he had used to clean his shirt at the girl. "You\'re not even thankful, what kind of attitude is that?" Ramon scolded.
Hearing Ramon\'s words, Hailee immediately put on a cute face and approached Ramon, wrapping her hand around the man\'s arm.
"Thank you for coming and saving me!" Hailee exclaimed cheerfully and rewarded Ramon with a sweet kiss on the cheek. "But, I would be even happier if you gave him a punch or two."
"You think I\'m a street fighter?" Ramon glanced at Hailee in annoyance, even though she complained with her tears staining his shirt, but that man was not at all bothered by their closeness. "Don\'t equate me with your friend."
"Ian is a not a street fighter," Hailee argued, resentful of Ramon looking down on her best friend. Ian was indeed a fighter, but he was not a street fighter like Ramon had assumed.
However, seeing this man\'s jaw tighten and staring at her with a very clear expression of dislike, Hailee knew that she had spoken the wrong word again.
Therefore, she immediately returned to kissing Ramon\'s cheek and rested her head on his shoulder. "Thank you for coming looking for me, I don\'t know what will happen to me if you don\'t find me." Hailee didn\'t exaggerate her words this time.
Seeing the girl beside him acting so cute, Ramon leaned his back against the back of the chair, letting Hailee hug his arms and act spoiled.
It was then that Ramon saw Hailee\'s flushed cheeks and he rubbed them lightly. "Hurt?"
"It hurts so much," Hailee whimpered again.
