Chapter 96: SEDUCER
"Maybe a good morning kiss can help." Hailee pursed her lips.
Ramon narrowed his eyes when he heard this. The days with his future wife\'s behavior were getting more and more strange.
However, this morning\'s case, it seemed like Ramon understood why Hailee was not feeling well. After all, they were going to meet her family today and it seemed that after what happened, returning to her family was not an exciting choice for her.
"Where is my good morning kiss?" Hailee sulked. She tend to get spoiled whenever she was in a bad mood and this had been observed by Ramon for several times already.
Instead of leaning over to give the girl a good morning kiss, Ramon took a crutong from his bowl and popped the small piece into Hailee\'s mouth.
"Ramon!" Hailee squealed and immediately sat up straight, she hit the arm of the man who had been viciously stuffing the small piece of bread in her mouth after swallowing the crutong slice. "So mean!"
Ramon didn\'t heed Hailee\'s screams or blows, he casually took a sip of his coffee and asked. "Do you want to wear pajamas to your family\'s house?"
Hailee snorted. "Of course not." How could she wear these pajamas while Aileen would appear all-out later. She wouldn\'t embarrass Ramon, especially in front of her family. But…
"If you don\'t want to go there, we can cancel it." Ramon shrugged. "We will marry with or without their consent."
Hailee glanced at Ramon. "But, if you\'re going to take over that company, you should at least start off right, instead of raising the hostile flag at the start. That\'s not a strategy."
"Exactly!" Ramon then ruffled Hailee\'s hair and lifted his coffee cup, intending to continue his morning activities in his study. "Hanging out with me makes you smarter."
"What?!" Hailee was very upset at Ramon\'s comment and without thinking, she grabbed the hand that had ruffled her hair earlier and took a bite.
Hailee thought, Ramon would scream in pain, but he didn\'t. The man only frowned slightly, but then fell silent. Letting Hailee bite him as if he didn\'t feel anything.
Ramon\'s unexpected reaction made Hailee think of biting him harder, but the part of her brain, which was still sane, told her not to mess around.
So with a sullen face, Hailee finally let go of Ramon\'s hand.
"Are you done?" Ramon asked calmly, taking a quick glance at Hailee\'s teeth prints on the surface of his skin. It looked cute, if Ramon could say.
"Are you numb? Don\'t you feel any pain at all?" Hailee grumbled at not getting what she wanted.
"Get ready," Ramon said, then he walked out of the room, leaving Hailee with her breakfast.
Hailee grumbled, "I didn\'t even get a good morning kiss."
Hearing her grumbling, Ramon just smiled and continued walking to his study. There were several things he should ask Danny about the developments in the Roland Dimatrio case.
Ramon had not yet finished with the district attorney. He would get hold of all the information he could about Aileen Tatum or other secrets.
==============
After breakfast, Hailee spent her morning soaking in a warm bath, trying to calm her tensed nerves and her awkward feelings as she would soon face her extended family.
Apart from her father, mother and cousin, Hailee was actually not very close to other families as she often spent time at home or playing with her friends.
Especially to her father\'s older brother, Diego Tatum, it could be said; it was very rare for Hailee to meet him during her life of twenty years.
But, if not Diego Tatum, who else would Hailee meet? Contacting George Tatum was clearly not an option. Because the relationship between her father and his younger brother could not be said to be good.
Last night, thinking all these things, Hailee had difficulty sleeping and was only able to close her eyes after midnight.
"Hhh…" Hailee sighed heavily, burying half of her face so that the surface of the water touched her nose. She felt like she wanted to spend the day soaking in this comfortable bath.
However, her ridiculous wish could not possibly be fulfilled.
So with a heavy heart, Hailee came out of her fragrant soap bubble bath and stood under the shower to remove all the remaining foam on her body, after which Hailee took a towel and dried herself.
The next tough task was choosing clothes.
Hailee didn\'t want to appear too \'ordinary\' when meeting her family, but also didn\'t want to look too extravagant either.
So, she had to choose her clothes carefully.
Or at least that\'s what Hailee had in mind. Not to mention there was a possibility that Theodore would also be there, because it seemed that Aileen and Theodore would formalize their relationship.
So they might also use this moment to meet this extended family to share their engagement plans.
Damn, chance seeker! Supposedly, Aileen and Theodore should make their own show!
Hailee stepped out of the bathroom with a face that still showed that she was in a bad mood, but as soon as she lifted her head and saw who was waiting for her in the room, spontaneously, a scream escaped her lips before she managed to cover her mouth with her hand.
"Ramon! What are you doing here?!" Hailee retreated toward the bathroom door again and looked fiercely at the man who casually entered her room. Luckily Hailee used a bathrobe, so it wouldn\'t show too much skin.
"Come here and put this on," Ramon sat on the edge of the bed and patted the maroon dress that was laid over Hailee\'s bed, carelessly. "Lexus sent this to you, because you complained that you didn\'t know what to wear to meet your family."
"Lexus?" Hailee frowned and just remembered that she had indeed complained about this matter to Ramon\'s brother.
But, Hailee did not think that Lexus would take it seriously and really find the right dress for her.
However, for some reason Hailee felt that Lexus had complied to do this happily, because the man\'s shopping appetite was almost on par with Lis.
The mother and son duo were very compatible on several occasions.
"Hurry up." Ramon folded his arms, impatient with Hailee\'s shy actions.
"I\'ll try it, but what are you doing here?" Hailee then decided to take a closer look at the clothes. Maybe Lexus gave her something that was not worth using.
"Making sure that you don\'t stall the time again," Ramon casually replied. "You\'ve spent an hour in there."
Oh, really? Hailee didn\'t even notice.
"This is my family, so why are you excited to meet them?" Hailee muttered.
But before Ramon could answer the question, Hailee had already raised her hand, indicating for the man to stop.
"Don\'t answer, I know what the answer is," Hailee said. Of course, the answer would not be as far off as his plans to invade the Tatum company.
"Then get dressed quickly." Ramon nodded at the maroon dress next to him.
"Then you have to get out." Hailee folded her arms. Her long hair was still wet and droplets of water fell down the sides of her face, sliding down on the surface of the skin of her delicate neck.
"Didn\'t I say that I\'ll make sure you don\'t linger and sulk while wasting our time?" Ramon smiled knowingly. "Now, change your clothes."
"You wish. I will not be naked in front of you." Hailee glared at this absurd man. "Do not expect something like that."
Seeing how annoyed Hailee was, Ramon then stood up and unexpectedly kissed Hailee\'s pouty lips.
"What is this?" Hailee didn\'t move backward, she remained in her position and looked at Ramon bravely. Even though it was just a light kiss and it wasn\'t their first time kissing, Hailee could still feel a strange butterfly sensation in her stomach.
"Didn\'t you ask for a good morning kiss from me?" Ramon asked with an innocent face, as if he had done nothing wrong. Indeed, apart from being the cause of Hailee\'s heart beating erratically, he didn\'t really do anything wrong. "So, change your clothes now."
Meanwhile, Hailee narrowed her eyes. "You want me to change clothes in front of you?" Hailee\'s voice suddenly sounded like a whisper.
"Yes," Ramon answered straightforwardly. The look in his eyes challenged Hailee to do so.
At first, Ramon was just joking as usual, but his sense of joke was not very good, Lexus repeatedly told this to Ramon and it was proven now; Hailee took the challenge seriously.
"Just say, you want to see me naked," Hailee said vulgarly, her eyes looking straight into Ramon\'s.
"If you can wear that dress without being naked, then go ahead." Ramon could see the glint in Hailee\'s eyes. This girl was thinking about something and Ramon was more than ready to see where this conversation would end. "Isn\'t it just a matter of time? Mrs. Tordoff?" Ramon said in a soft whisper, while tucking Hailee\'s hair behind her ear.
Ramon thought that at this point Hailee would back off, but as it turned out his guess was completely wrong.
"Okay." Hailee shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and a sweet smile appeared on her lips. "If that\'s what you want..."
