Chapter 571 WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT
Aunt Hellen\'s face turned red when she heard about the amount that Jayden had to waste for Apple\'s recklessness. "You are a gold digger!" she accused.
It certainly wouldn\'t go unnoticed and by Aunt Hellen\'s standards, Apple had all of these criteria, especially with her family background. She still couldn\'t understand how someone like Jayden who could get everything he wanted ended up with someone like this girl. What a very unfair relationship...
On the other hand, Apple actually laughed when she responded to this. "Don\'t worry, I already told Jayden that and he doesn\'t mind it." Apple laughed softly. "You don\'t have to bother reminding him of that, because I already did," continued Apple confidently.
Hearing this, Aunt Hellen was even more annoyed with Apple for what she said. She was just about to say something more when she saw Jayden walking back toward them and his piercing eyes quickly pinned her.
The gesture seemed to be enough for Aunt Hellen to shut her mouth and gulp back whatever comment she wanted to throw at Apple and then back away.
"Aunt Hellen is saying nonsense again?" Jayden asked as he came to Apple\'s side and landed a peck on her cheek, then rested his arm on her hip while glaring fiercely at Aunt Hellen who was trying to avoid Jayden\'s gaze.
"No problem, I can handle it just fine," Apple said proudly, smirking at Jayden.
"Good girl," said Jayden as he ruffled Apple\'s hair and returned to focus on the horse race below them which was about to start.
For a moment, all their attention was on the racetrack down there and Apple had completely forgotten what had happened earlier with Aunt Hellen. She looked so excited.
This was her first time placing a bet. So it was needless to say, she wanted to win, although according to Aunt Hellen it was highly unlikely.
Well, Apple didn\'t know what criteria would determine whether a horse could win or not, but these few certainly wouldn\'t be in the arena if they didn\'t have great abilities.
But, as soon as Apple saw the number eleven horse selected by her speeding up and slowly overtaking the other horses one by one, Apple\'s face brightened even more.
It was true that horse number eleven wasn\'t in first place when the race started, you could even say it was second from last, but slowly and surely it overtook the other horses and it excited Apple so much to see their likely victory.
Apple even gripped Jayden\'s hand tightly because the tension she was feeling was so strong. She didn\'t even notice it, but he let her do whatever she liked right now. Because to him, Apple\'s current expression was priceless. He could spend all day just staring at her.
"Oh, I can\'t believe this…" Apple mumbled as horse number eleven started going even faster and finally caught up with the second horse. "Oh… just one more…"
Apple now released her grip on Jayden and leaned against the glass wall for a better view.
Her tense face was absolutely adorable in Jayden\'s eyes. Especially when miraculously the number eleven horse chosen by Apple won the race by just a fraction of milliseconds when all the horses finished the last lap and touched the finish line.
Apple\'s face turned very excited as she jumped up and down to walk over to Jayden and hug him very tightly.
"We won!" exclaimed Apple happily, she looked as if she was glowing with happiness shining on her beautiful face.
"You are amazing!" Jayden said enthusiastically, he hugged the girl back and looked at her proudly.
"I am so lucky!"
"Yeah, I guess I can retire from my job and rely on your luck."
Apple pouted her lips when she heard that. "Why don\'t you just let me run your business?" asked Apple lightly.
"Great idea." Jayden touched his chin, as if he was really considering the matter. "You can deal with Misha every day, I won\'t mind the arrangement," Jayden said in a low voice
"Misha?" Apple furrowed her nose in displeasure. "No, thank you."
Apple then looked around the seating area and didn\'t see Misha or the red-haired girl who was with him, instead she saw Hailee and Ramon on their left, sitting and chatting lightly.
Hailee leaned over and whispered something into Ramon\'s ear, which made the man laugh softly. From the way Ramon looked at his wife, it was very clear how much he loved his wife.
"Why don\'t you go over to your mom and dad?" asked Apple, pointing at Hailee and Ramon. "Shouldn\'t we go over there and say hello to them?" she asked again. Apple found it rude to just ignore Hailee and Ramon.
Meanwhile, Jayden turned his head to look at his father and mother with furrowed brows. "I don\'t remember them coming here," Jayden said in a low voice. "I think it\'s time for us to leave."
Jayden was about to run away with Apple when suddenly Hailee waved at them and called the two of them to come over.
"Looks like you can\'t run away now," Apple teased in a low voice and this made Jayden groan a little annoyedly and walk over to his parents.
"Why does my mother always interfere with our plans?"
"You want to know the answer?" asked Apple again.
"You know the answer?" Jayden turned to Apple, they were still far enough away that Hailee and Ramon wouldn\'t hear their chatter.
"I don\'t know," Apple replied lightly. "But, if you want to know, I can ask your mom later," said Apple cheekily, which made Jayden pinch her cheek in return.
"You want to get me killed?"
=========================
And as Jayden had guessed, his mother was back to monopolizing Apple like she did last night and now he was stuck with his father.
It was not that Jayden didn\'t like having conversations with his father. It was just that the topics they would discuss only revolve around business and during a holiday like this, Jayden didn\'t really want to discuss business, let alone with his father. He felt like the two of them were in a meeting.
"You shouldn\'t have come to the horse race," said Ramon, taking a sip of his coffee.
"I got here first," Jayden replied, not wanting to lose.
"Your woman occupied my wife\'s time," Ramon grumbled.
Meanwhile, Jayden could only stare at his father with the corner of his eye twitching at what he said.
What the hell? Jayden should have been the one to say that. It was his mother who had kidnapped his woman and now the two Tordoffs were stuck together, only being able to stare at their women who seemed to be enjoying their free time from their respective partners.
Not far from Ramon and Jayden, Hailee invited Apple to go to the stadium, to see horse number eleven that had been Apple\'s betting horse and won the race quite unexpectedly.
Hailee then approached her husband and son who seemed very tortured to sit alone.
"We will be gone for a while," Hailee said, kissing Ramon\'s forehead gently. "I am going down to the stables for a bit to see the horse Apple picked out earlier."
"I can take you," said Ramon.
"I can go with you guys," Jayden said.
The two of them immediately jumped to their feet at the first opportunity to be able to go with Apple and Hailee, but alas, Mrs. Tordoff objected to this quite emphatically.
"No. You two stay here." Hailee confirmed this and she did not receive any rebuttal when she pulled Apple away from the two.
Meanwhile, Jayden could only frown in displeasure. "Damn. At least let her kiss me first before pulling her away," Jayden grumbled.
His mother kissed his father\'s forehead before she left, even though what she did was annoying, but at least his mother showed affection for his father, so why didn\'t he get the same privilege from Apple.
"Language," said Ramon as he took a sip of his coffee.
"You should pay attention to your wife not to take my woman for granted."
"What?"
Ramon glared at his son before Jayden realized that he had said the wrong thing and chose to run away from his father before he flipped out because Jayden spoke badly of his own mother.
Jayden really dodged a bullet.
========================
"What happened last night?" Hailee asked Apple when it was just the two of them in the elevator heading to the stables, where all the horses rested.
"What?" Apple was very surprised when she heard the question. "Last night? What about last night?" Her mind immediately drifted to the incident in the hotel room. She didn\'t know what her facial expression was like now, but she certainly could feel the blood leaving her face and now she looked a little pale.
"Yes, last night\'s incident involving you and Jayden," Hailee said again confirming her question, then turned to Apple. "Why do you look pale? Are you okay?" she looked concern to see the color on Apple\'s face.
Hailee then reached out her hand to touch Apple\'s forehead, but she was fine.
"It\'s okay, I am fine," Apple replied in a bit of a panic. "What about last night?" Apple really wanted to dig a deep hole and bury herself in it.
How could the two of them have this kind of conversation? Apple had almost forgotten what had happened until Hailee reminded her.
"It\'s okay, you can tell me, I know that my son can be stupid and be a little overwhelming to deal with."
