Chapter 140 – THE UNSPOKEN WORDS
Hailee doesn't know where Ramon is intending to take her.
Yes, that man kept their honeymoon destination a secret and didn't bother to heed every time Hailee probed about where they were going.
However, on the other hand, Hailee found it very sweet and despite being annoyed that Ramon refused to tell her, she felt that Ramon's actions now were very romantic.
Isn't that strange? But, for some reason Hailee thought it was something related to the word 'romantic'…
Therefore, when the car that took the two of them away from their own wedding, passed a small runway with a private plane that had the words Tordoff written on the iron bird's body, Hailee was flabbergasted and quite surprised.
"We are going out of the country?" Hailee exclaimed in a muffled voice, when she saw the small platform from the car window, then turned her attention to Ramon who was sitting comfortably beside her.
"What do you think?" Ramon asked with a smile on his lips. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood.
"So where are we going?"Hailee inquired while staring back at him with sparkling eyes, reflecting Ramon's mood equally.
How wonderful…
At this moment, Hailee felt that nothing could make her happier than this. Maybe even a sudden bad news would not be able to spoil her happiness …
She felt like the two of them were inside the bubble, which only consisted of the two of them.
It is not that Hailee expected something bad to happen… the sentence was just parable.
"You will love it." Ramon was still keeping it a secret and making his wife frown, although that couldn't diminish the happy glow in her big, bright eyes.
"What is wrong with you telling me beforehand?" Hailee started sulking again, using all the charm she could muster up herself to make Ramon reveal this little secret.
It is just that Ramon was also a charming figure, so her efforts were far from being successful.
"What is wrong with waiting a little bit longer?" Ramon asked, glancing at Hailee meaningfully. Making the girl laugh.
Since when did Ramon learn to be this flirtatious? Who was the person who had rubbed off this bad influence on her husband?
However, despite all that, Hailee really enjoyed the little intimacy and these kinds of interactions between them.
Hailee felt that the two of them had taken a step further in this somewhat short- gun relationship and had become much closer than when they had first met.
"Alright …" Hailee finally relented and landed a sweet kiss on Ramon's cheek, making the man pull her closer.
Ramon looked at her with eyes that Hailee had never seen before and leaned over to kiss the lips of the girl in his arms who has now become his wife.
The kiss was very slow and very gentle, as if Ramon did not want to rush and wanted to enjoy the moment, so that this sweet time would not end soon. Well, neither does Hailee.
Hailee started returning the kiss, feeling a little nervous, but soon her body relaxed as she began enjoying it.
This is the perfect day.
Of course, this is her wedding day …
==============
"I do not have an equally admirable status as yours, but I am still a Tatum," Zia said the sentence in a firm and undeniable tone.
Zia is indeed a Tatum, so even though her social status is not as high as the Smith family or her family's wealth cannot be compared to any of the five famous families of City A, she still has a decent life.
The Tatum family was able to give her what she wanted and provide the education she needed.
Zia's life style was still able to make some people jealous and dream of becoming like her. Although if possible, Zia would choose not to live this complicated life and run away to lead a normal life…
Coupled with the fact that Zia is the general's only daughter, making Zia have a unique status, but also very risky.
Because if the news of Aidan Smith's affair behind his wife, Giana, with Zia is revealed, then what she would be betting on will be extraordinary.
In the past, when Zia was much younger, maybe she thought it was fun, hiding things from her father, having secrets.
But not now.
Especially, after seeing how happy Hailee and Ramon were in their wedding and seeing what marriage had to offer, Zia also wanted the same thing.
A small family that loves her and also a man she can be proud of as her own. Not someone she has to hide all the time.
Now she could see clearly that she had wasted so much time in a meaningless relationship that would lead her nowhere.
"Zia, you know, that is not what I mean …" Aidan's voice softened, almost pitiful when he confided in. "If you want a marriage, I can give it to you."
Zia narrowed her eyes even more and glared at Aidan, as if she had never seen this man and the figure in front of her was already saying nonsensical things.
"Can you give me a marriage like this?" Zia waved her hand toward the party that was still going on inside, where couples were busy dancing away happily with music playing.
Aidan choked.
Because he knew that he could never give her an open marriage like this. Wouldn't it only be a secret even if the marriage that Zia wanted happened? Which means that no important people will come to the event.
"Can not?" Zia gave a mocking smile, even though her heart was hurt again. "If all you think about is a wedding with just the two of us, and no one attending, then it's not a wedding, it's a funeral."
After saying this, Zia turned and left, and this time Aidan couldn't help it. The man was rooted to the spot with Zia's last words still ringing in his ears.
Is it that bad …?
The party continued somewhere inside the room, but Aidan couldn't feel it even a little bit of the happiness, as if the world didn't care about his life, which seemed to collapse after Zia's departure.
She didn't really say that, did she? Their relationship wouldn't really end like this, would it?
Aidan gritted his teeth hard and started wishing that if only he could divorce Giana, maybe the consequences he had to face would not be as complicated as he imagined …
Maybe, Aidan could give Zia what she wanted … a marriage and family she deserves.
Maybe …
"I am sorry about your refusal," someone said suddenly, which surprised Aidan a little.
Aidan was too immersed in his own world that he didn't notice his surroundings, especially the man who had appeared from behind him without him knowing when the latter actually got near.
"Dillon," Aidan said the name in a low hiss. He didn't really know about this man and only knew him as Giana's personal assistant and also her old school friend. "I never thought Giana would invite you to come here."
Aidan and Dillon's first encounter was when he picked up a call from the private asssistant. Therefore, this is their second interaction, which didn't leave a good impression and would never be.
"I think Giana had expected that you were going to leave her at this party, so she asked me to come." Dillon replied sarcastically to Aidan's words.
"Giana?" Aidan raised his eyebrows with a fierce expression. "I didn't know you were so close that you could call her so informally like that."
"We are friends since high school," Dillon took a sip of the drink in his hand to cover up the nervousness over Aidan's gaze and his words just now.
It's true, Dillon shouldn't call Giana so casually like that, especially in front of her husband.
However, his answer couldn't be blamed either because that was the truth.
"Just be more professional in public. Because people know you are just Giana's personal assistant and don't care enough to know you as an old friend of my wife."
Dillon snorted when he heard Aidan refer to Giana as 'my wife', come on … he couldn't possibly think that Giana was really his wife while having a relationship with another woman behind her.
The way Aidan brought up this made Dillon feel sorry for Giana, despite all her crazy ideas and addiction to Ramon Tordoff, Giana deserves a better man than Aidan Smith.
"Mind your behavior," Aidan grumbled and looked at Dillon with a very obvious expression of dislike. "You won't end well if you keep testing my patience."
Their last interaction, when Aidan picked up the phone from Dillon for Giana, did not leave a very good impression and the realization that Giana had shared what happened in their household to this man named Dillon, did not make things better.
"I will not interfere in your business and I don't think even Mrs. Smith is interested in asking me to find out who are the women that have become your mistresses, Mr. Smith." Sarcasm was evident in every word Dillon said, as if this man was doing it on purpose. "So you can rest easy. Think of me as being here at the wrong time and place."
After saying this, Dillon lifted his glass and drained the clear liquid inside and nodded as a sign that he was about to resign. He didn't even take Aidan seriously.
And Aidan could only stand there, dumbfounded, with his eyes staring hard at Dillon's back as he walked away.
