Chapter 249: A CALL IN THE MORNING
Rebecca was really shocked when she heard what Aileen said. She knew that woman was not at all nice and full of manipulation, but never once did she think that Aileen could utter such harsh words.
Despite all her cunning and deceit, Aileen didn\'t seem like someone who would express her frustration with harsh words.
Therefore, what Aileen said was beyond Rebecca\'s wildest imaginations.
However, the thing she least expected was this package in her hand, waiting to be opened by her. A brown envelope containing a flash drive.
"What\'s this?" Rebecca stared at the flash drive with furrowed brows, especially when the sender of the small object was Hailee.
As Rebecca recalled, her relationship with Hailee hadn\'t been very good lately and it had tended to be a little strained because of their recent chat at Aileen\'s wedding.
But, why did Hailee actually send her something like this? And for what reason?
Instinctively, Rebecca reached into her trouser pocket and took out her cell phone to call Hailee, but unfortunately, the one she had was Hailee\'s old phone number and since she didn\'t have her new number, the call didn\'t go through.
Confused, Rebecca came out of Aileen and Theodore\'s bedroom, then headed to her husband\'s study to look for his laptop, to see what the contents of the flash drive were.
Rebecca\'s steps were a little hastened than usual out of curiosity and when she arrived at the study, without waiting long, Rebecca immediately took the laptop from the drawer and turned it on.
================
Hailee was enjoying her breakfast in bed, a special breakfast that Ramon had made for her with a sweet \'good morning\' kiss, while watching her husband change clothes.
Oh, it was a magnificent sight and what a beautiful morning. Hailee wished she could enjoy mornings like this forever and forget all the troubles that were plaguing her.
"Why do you keep looking at me?" Ramon smiled. Hailee\'s gaze bothered him more and more, but not in a bad way, on the contrary, if Hailee didn\'t stop this, then Ramon felt he should call Lexus to let his brother know that he was going to be late.
His brother might kill him later…
"You look yummy," Hailee said while biting her bun in a sexy and seductive way.
And this made Ramon walk up to her with eyes that started to darken. This was crazy. How Hailee could affect him with just one glance, was completely unreasonable to Ramon, but this was what happened…
Ramon had a hard time controlling himself, especially at times like these. He wanted to always be near Hailee and their child...
And somehow, Hailee looked more attractive and beautiful now. It was not that she wasn\'t attractive before, she had been very unique even from the first time they met, but there was something about her that exuded a different aura and it always managed to make Ramon feel calm and comfortable.
"Yummy?" Ramon smirked mischievously as he got close to Hailee. He reached out and touched Hailee\'s cheek, making his wife close her eyes, enjoying the touch of his hand.
On the other hand, Hailee was smiling happily because Ramon seemed to be so affected by her and with just one glance, she knew what he wanted.
This pregnancy made Hailee\'s hormones go rampant. Well, Hailee would blame her pregnancy for being so flirtatious with Ramon...
But, just as Hailee felt Ramon\'s lips on hers, she was startled by the sound of her own cell phone.
"Ignore it," Ramon whispered against her lips, but because Hailee hadn\'t turned her phone to silent mode, the ringing tone was so distracting.
Especially when the first call wasn\'t picked up, it prompted new calls to follow. "Ugh! Who calls this early in the morning," Hailee grumbled. The mood was spoiled.
Hailee pushed Ramon away and reached for her cell phone which was on top of the drawer, beside the bed.
Her brows furrowed when she saw a row of numbers she didn\'t recognize. Not many people knew this number and if they did, their names would have already been recorded in her cell phone memory...
"Hello?" greeted Hailee. "Who\'s this?"
For a while there was no answer from the other end of the call before finally Ian\'s voice was heard.
"Hailee?" he asked.
"Ian?" Hailee could recognize her best friend\'s voice in an instant, then she looked back at her phone screen. "Whose number are you using?"
Ian ignored the question. "Are you with Ramon?" he asked hastily.
Hailee\'s frown deepened. "Yes, I\'m with him, Ramon is right beside me," Hailee replied slowly while looking at Ramon, as if her husband knew why Ian was looking for her so early in the morning like this.
"Can I talk to him?" Ian asked again. "Can you give this phone to him? This is important."
"Okay." The urgent tone in Ian\'s voice kept Hailee from asking the barrage of questions she wanted to fire and she immediately handed the phone to Ramon, who accepted it with a confused expression.
If he heard it correctly, the caller who had interrupted his and his wife\'s moment was Ian, but Ramon didn\'t remember that they had a good relationship to communicate with each other in the morning like this. It was too early for someone to call him if it wasn\'t for an urgent matter.
Ramon then took the phone and pressed the loudspeaker on, so Hailee could hear what Ian had to say, because from the look on her face, it was certain that Hailee would be after him after the call ended.
So, in order to save time, it was better for her to listen to it live.
"Hmm," Ramon mumbled. Beside him, Hailee moved closer, she rested her head on Ramon\'s shoulder listening to what Ian had to say.
"Ramon, I hope this conversation will be between just the two of us. Please don\'t tell Hailee," Ian started after the sound of his heavy breathing was heard. He seemed to be having trouble finding the right words.
"Okay," he answered immediately. Technically, Ramon wasn\'t going to tell Hailee because she would also be listening to this conversation.
On the other hand, Hailee was getting more and more curious. What did Ian want to keep secret from her?
