Chapter 128 - I WILL NEVER FORCE HIM
Chapter 128 – I WILL NEVER FORCE HIM
'I love you'.
Hailee said those words lightly as if she didn't mean it, but actually she didn't really think that way when she said those words. After all, it was not that hard to her for just saying that word, right?
It doesn't have any special meaning, does it?
Ramon even heard Hailee say the same words to Ian, which meant it was nothing special to her. Just a few casual words.
It's just that, Ramon quite liked it and after hearing Hailee say that which was accompanied by a kiss on the lips, Ramon could no longer protest and remained completely silent like a person who was genuinely fast asleep.
He complied to Hailee weird suggestion, even though he didn't really enjoy to pretend and avoid the problem. That was not his nature after all.
Looks like Hailee's idea was not so bad…
After two full minutes, Ramon could hear the footsteps of a woman with her high heels clicking loudly on the floor, entering the room.
The strong smell of an expensive perfume immediately spread throughout the room and this made Hailee wrinkle her nose in displeasure.
It was not that she was allergic to the smell, it was just that she was allergic to the person, who was wearing the parfume.
Hailee still remembered very well what Giana had to offer on that auction night and felt her dislike for this woman grow even more.
"Mrs. Smith," Hailee stood up from her sitting position on the edge of Ramon's bed, holding the man's hand.
Well, this was only a tiny bit of display of affection that Hailee wanted to show off to Giana.
Over Giana's shoulder, Hailee could see Lis frowning at Ramon, who was pretending to be asleep. Of course she knew that her son couldn't possibly fall asleep this quickly, so she gave her a look, asking Hailee for confirmation.
"Ms. Tatum," Giana replied to Hailee's greeting in the same way, she walked gracefully across the room, as if she was a model, cat walking on the red carpet.
"I was quite surprised to see you here." Hailee caught Lis' questioning look and nodded at her briefly, confirming that Ramon was not really sleeping.
At this point, there seemed to be a deep understanding between Hailee and Lis, and that made Hailee quite happy.
Especially when Lis raised her thumb at her and glanced over. Her future mother in- law seemed in tune with Hailee's wick nature.
Hailee almost laughed when she saw Lis doing that, but she controlled herself by clearing her throat and focusing her attention on Giana's words, while Lis walked out of the room, pretty sure that Hailee could handle this overbearing woman without her help.
"Yes, there is a close relative of mine who is getting treated in this hospital and I heard Mr. Tordoff was being treated at the same place." Giana told the same lies again.
Not creative at all. Thought Hailee. This woman should have learned from Aileen to make a more convincing lie.
However, when the two of them heard the sound of the door closing, indicating that Lis had left and only the three of them were left in the room, all the hypocrisy and drama they were displaying, immediately collapsed.
"So, what do you want?" Hailee asked sarcastically, all the hospitality that she showed a few seconds ago, immediately disappeared and she looked at Giana intently, really not hiding the fact that she did not like the unwelcomed visit of this woman.
Giana glanced at the door, just to make sure that no one else would be listening on their conversation.
"Is not that obvious?" Giana asked in a low voice, either because she didn't want to disturb Ramon's sleep or because she was still careful that Lis was still around, eavesdropping from behind the door, which was one thing that could not have happened.
"It is not clear to me at all," Hailee replied in a defiant tone, she even looked Giana straight in the eyes. "Can you tell me what you are here for? Because we both know that your excuse is just a lie."
Giana snorted when she heard Hailee's quite arrogant answer. "You don't have to act like this toward me, is not it obvious that your relationship with Ramon is just a lie?" She took one step closer and Hailee stood in front of her instead. "You just got to know each other when the accident happened."
"Yes," Hailee admitted, because there was no reason for her to lie. If Ramon could seek such deep information about Hailee's family, of course Giana could do the same.
It seemed that these distinguished families always have their own privileges with information that they could easily get their hands on.
What an annoying fact!
But, what else could she do? This is how the world works for 'rich' people like them.
"Then what do you want? Inviting Ramon to knit back the memories he has forgotten?" Hailee narrowed her eyes, not wanting to be intimidated by Giana at all.
"He is amnesic," Giana growled irritably. "He didn't forget me or our memories when we were together, the circumstances forced him to be like that."
"Oh, then? What will you do if he can't remember you again?" Hailee asked fiercely. "You want to force him even though you know we will be married in three days?"
Hearing that question, Giana chuckled and shook her head dramatically. Hailee didn't like this woman at all.
"Ramon didn't mind having an affair with me when I am a married woman, so I wouldn't mind having an affair with him after he married you," Giana declared with her haughty smile, as if it was not something to be embarrassed about, but something she should be proud of.
On the other hand, Hailee didn't even thought of constructing her own response to the words Giana had just spoken, because in the next second, what she realized was the loud sound of her hand slapping Giana's cheek very hard.
It was so loud that it made the woman squeal loudly and Hailee's hand burned. Not only her hand, but her chest felt hot from the sudden anger.
Hailee was shocked and paused for a moment, waiting for guilt to hit her, but apparently that feeling didn't come, which indicated that she was doing the right thing.
Of course she did the right thing. Teaching Giana a lesson by slapping her for saying those nasty words was the right thing.
"You are so shameless," Hailee hissed sharply. Her eyes flashed with anger at the woman who was still shocked in front of her and rubbed her cheek which had starting to turn red.
Hailee knew that face was the most crucial part for people like Giana, as she would meet a lot of people, but who cares about that at a time like this?
"You said that, right in front of his future wife." Hailee narrowed her eyes dangerously. "Now I understand the term; money can't buy manners. Because you just brought the meaning of that sentence to life."
"You dare to slap me?" Giana ignored Hailee's earlier words, as her focus was solely on the fact that she had just been slapped.
"Of course." After Hailee said that, she landed one more slap on Giana's face. "So, what are you going to do with this?"
Hailee was pretty sure that Giana wouldn't make a fuss about the fact that she was just slapped by Hailee, because it wouldn't benefit her position at all.
Giana was not in a position to fight Hailee with her ploy, so she would get back at this insolent girl in the same way.
Quickly, Giana raised her hand and prepared to slap Hailee, only the girl moved faster while brushing Giana's hand away.
There are advantages of being friends with a street fighter, alright? Even though Hailee couldn't fight, at least her reflexes were good enough to save herself from people like Giana.
Hailee grinned seeing the anger in Giana's eyes. "Go home Mrs. Smith, because you could never get my husband. "
Giana gritted her molars so that Hailee could hear her voice clearly, but this made her feel even more satisfied.
"You wouldn't dare say that when Ramon really gets his memories back," Giana spoke her words very slowly and clearly, as if she wanted to make Hailee remember every single word she just spat.
Considering how Ramon had treated her before, that wasn't impossible. Giana is very sure, if one day Ramon got his memory back, then it would be the day when Ramon would turn around and leave Hailee to be with her.
Meanwhile, Giana thought her statement and warning would upset Hailee even a little or make her show the same anger she felt, but that didn't happen. Because the young girl in front of her responded in the same cold way.
"If one day Ramonn says he wants to come back to you, then I am not going to hold him back. I've never forced my will on someone who doesn't even want me." Hailee looked at Giana from head to toe and returned to her eyes that were still full of hatred. "You should be like that too. So stop appearing in front of me."
Giana gave Hailee a fierce look.
During this time, there had never been anyone who spoke so insolently to Giana like what Hailee was doing now.
However, on the other hand, Giana couldn't think of any words to retort back either, as if the entire vocabulary she learned had left her head just like that. Making herself a fool who could only take the humiliation.
