Chapter 225: FEELING
"I didn\'t say anything," said Giana, laughing softly. "But, I want proof of that affair as well. You must have it, right?"
Aileen narrowed her eyes when she heard Giana\'s last sentence. She did have evidence that she had been with Aidan, anyone would have guessed easily that Aileen made use of that evidence to blackmail Aidan as well before.
But, that was not the problem. The problem was; Aileen couldn\'t possibly give the evidence to Giana, because after all the evidence would be a boomerang for her later.
Giana could use it to blackmail her back. However, if Aileen didn\'t provide that proof…
"Why? There\'s no need to give me such a facial expression. Don\'t tell me you don\'t have any," Giana laughed softly at her own words. "You underestimated me so much if you thought I would believe it."
Damn!
Aileen thought it would be easier to cooperate with Giana, but in reality it wasn\'t. This woman was like a snake that wrapped itself around her and made her feel like she had taken the wrong step.
However, the choices in Aileen\'s hands were terrible and she had to choose the worst among the worst.
"What if I say \'no\'?" Aileen tried to make things more balanced.
Hearing the refusal, Giana pretended to be surprised and Aileen hated it. "Why? You want to keep the evidence as a keepsake between the two of you?" she asked with a sneer. "Dear, I don\'t even care who he\'s been sleeping with. And, I don\'t care if he has slept with all the women in this town either."
"Then what do you need it for?" Aileen narrowed her eyes, looking at Giana inquisitively, while the guests still surrounded Hailee and Ramon, talking about unimportant things. "You want to blackmail me?"
Gianna shrugged. "We live in a harsh world, and I needed something to make sure I wasn\'t stabbed in the back."
"Why? You got a trauma because your husband stabbed you in the back?" Aileen actually dared to open the one wound that Giana was trying hard to ignore. "So you need a guarantee from me?"
Even though the words were like a dagger stabbing Giana, she tried not to show it on her expression and preferred to act casual, as if the words didn\'t bother her at all.
"Yes, you can say that. Only a brainless person will fall into the same hole twice." Giana put down her empty glass, then glanced at Ramon. "Just pretend that the proof of you and Aidan being together is part of this agreement and I\'ll do something for Hailee in return."
"What are you going to do to her?" Aileen looked wary when Giana looked back at Hailee with a meaningful look. The woman in front of her was not as simple as she thought.
"You don\'t need to know what I\'m going to do, but since we both don\'t like the same person, then I can say you\'ll like what I have in mind for her." Giana then straightened her clothes. "I think it\'s time for me to go."
After saying this, without waiting for an answer from Aileen, Giana walked away from the party, leaving Aileen still wondering what really happened between Giana and Hailee. What\'s the secret between the two of them and why did Giana seem to hate Hailee so much?
================
Even though she didn\'t see it clearly, Hailee could feel the hostile gazes that were cast by Giana and Aileen when people congratulated her on her pregnancy.
And if Hailee could sense that, of course that detail didn\'t go unnoticed by Ramon either.
"I hope you don\'t visit your family too often," Ramon said on their way back to town A. "About your house, I\'ll get someone to take care of it."
The house that Ramon was referring to was the house now occupied by Aileen which Hailee inherited from her parents recently.
Because Aileen had inherited another house and also because she was married to Theodore, so she should have left the house, but it seemed that until now Aileen still hadn\'t taken her things out of that house.
"I didn\'t think about the house," Hailee said. She then raised her head, straightened her body and looked at Ramon, indicating that she wanted to have a serious talk. "I don\'t really care about the house at all. But, there\'s something else I want to ask you."
"What?" Ramon was more used to Hailee\'s mischievous expression or unexpected comments, but seeing how serious Hailee was right now, this naturally made Ramon anticipate what Hailee would say.
For a moment, Hailee seemed hesitant to say this, but then she made up her mind. "I don\'t know if it\'s right to ask this, but I wonder how much progress you\'ve made in getting your memories back."
Ramon didn\'t expect Hailee to ask such a thing. "I\'ll tell you, but I want to know why you want to know that so suddenly."
"I realized that you keep having nightmares. You are restless in your sleep and it makes me wonder if this is a side effect of your therapy. So I want to know how far your therapy has progressed. Is there anything important you remember?"
"Important things like?" Ramon played with Hailee\'s hair, as if they were discussing light topics.
"Like how you started an affair with Giana," Hailee said, lowering her voice so that Pyro, who was driving the car, couldn\'t hear her. "This bothers me a lot."
Although Hailee didn\'t seem to really care, but of course this bothered her a lot especially with the fact that Giana had not given up on the relationship she had with Ramon in the past.
And Hailee didn\'t know how deep Ramon felt for her because this man didn\'t remember anything about his past.
Ramon rested his forehead against Hailee\'s and closed his eyes as he said this. "I got a few fragments of memories of myself and Giana as well as some old memories that I thought I had forgotten. But, I don\'t feel the same when I\'m with you when I remember those pieces of memory. I don\'t know what I did to have that kind of relationship with Giana, but I\'m not sure if it involves any serious feelings."
