Chapter 474 A KISS
Chapter 474 A KISS
This was the first time for Apple to be at the Tatum residence, which was Jayden\'s maternal home.
Several maids immediately came to welcome them both and an old maid who seemed to have worked in this house for a long time and was very familiar with Jayden immediately approached Apple and asked a question that took her by surprise.
"Are you Jayden\'s lover?" she asked in a teasing voice. "This is the first time Jayden has brought a woman into this house."
"No, I\'m not his girlfriend," Apple replied immediately.
However, Jayden had a different answer. "Of course she is my lover." As it turned out, he heard the question and casually corrected Apple\'s answer.
And what annoyed Apple even more was that the old woman believed what Jayden said.
Of course she trusted the manipulative man more, so Apple just let them be, because it would be useless to correct this.
But, the second question made Apple\'s face turn red like an apple.
"Are you two going to sleep in the same room?" the older woman asked again.
"No, no!" Apple answered as she waved her hands frantically, confirming her answer and this time, she threw Jayden a threatening look if the man said otherwise.
"No, we sleep in separate rooms," Jayden informed the woman casually, but then he glanced at Apple, teasing her. "At least not yet. She\'s still shy about this."
Apple was really tempted to toss the shoe she was wearing at Jayden\'s head right now. This man really was a devil.
======================
And it was only two days later that Apple found out what Jayden had in mind, namely to attend the Gevano family\'s company anniversary party, which would be held in the company\'s own building.
"You\'ve been planning this ever since you found out that the Gevano family was the mastermind behind all this, right?" Apple asked, staring at Jayden in disbelief as the two of them walked into a boutique that would stock Apple with the best dresses for tonight\'s party.
"Yeah, you could say that," Jayden answered lightly.
Several people there immediately greeted the two of them. With Jayden\'s true identity, it was inevitable that they treated him very nicely and politely.
"I feel like I\'ve been schemed against," Apple said, which made Jayden laugh. He then encouraged the girl to try on the clothes he had chosen for her.
"No need to worry, my trap this time won\'t hurt you." He rolled her eyes and handed Apple a red dress, asking her to try it on.
Apple rolled her eyes but then she didn\'t protest and tried on the dress.
This dress was very tight and hugged her curves perfectly and Apple was grateful that she had worked out so well that she had enough curves to make her feel less insecure.
And a triumphant smile appeared on her lips when she saw Jayden\'s expression the first time he saw her.
"I know I\'m beautiful, but you don\'t have to be so impressed," Apple said confidently.
"I know you\'re beautiful in that dress, but I\'d rather you not wear it," Jayden retorted and this earned him a hard kick in the calf, making him wince and some of the employees there laughed in secret.
"You make comments like that one more time, I\'m going to break your neck," Apple hissed, then headed back to the locker room to change, but Jayden had a chance to see the blush on her cheeks and this made him even more excited to tease her.
It felt good to make Apple blush because she was always being mean to him.
=====================
And that night, Apple asked Aby, an old maid who had worked at the Tatum mansion for a long time, to help her put on her make-up and make herself look much more feminine than usual.
And when Apple came down the stairs, Jayden was waiting for her with a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"You look beautiful," he complimented and this time Apple heard the sincerity in his words, not because he was teasing her like before.
"You are not so bad yourself," Apple replied, and then put her hand in Jayden\'s, letting him lead her out of the house, where a car was waiting for the two of them.
"You\'re not going to tell me to drive that car, are you?" Apple asked, glancing at Jayden with probing eyes. This man could be so crazy and ask her to drive the car in this beautiful red dress.
However, Jayden laughed when he heard Apple say this. "Of course not. You don\'t work for me now, you are my plus one for tonight."
Apple sighed heavily as she said to Jayden in a low tone. "I don\'t think this relationship will go well."
"Don\'t be too optimistic about your opinion."
But Apple ignored his words and began to explain why their relationship wouldn\'t go well.
"My dad warned me from the start not to have any ambiguous relationship with you," Apple said.
"Pyro has always been paranoid."
"And I think he has a point," Apple said.
"Of course not. I\'ll prove it\'s not true. I can make an amazing boyfriend, you know."
"How can it be?"
"I\'m rich, handsome, caring, smart… you name it, I have it all," Jayden said confidently and smirked at the glaring girl beside him.
"I don\'t think your parents will approve of this relationship, I\'m just the child of your bodyguard." Apple felt insecure just at the sight of the Tatum family\'s house. She was nothing at all compared to these great families.
Jayden laughed even more at that answer. "I will be the one getting married and I will be the one who will choose my partner to marry, not them."
Apple then got into the car first when a driver opened the door for her, Jayden followed.
And in the car, Jayden said, this time his tone was more serious.
"Okay, that means all problems have been resolved and you are my girl now," Jayden said, kissing Apple briefly on the lips.
"What\'s that?" Apple looked surprised.
"A gesture to validate our relationship."
