Chapter 597 HOW TIME PASSES
Chapter 597 HOW TIME PASSES
Hailee had no idea that time had passed so quickly and without her realizing, Jayden had grown so big and was ready to start his own family.
It felt like just yesterday Hailee changed Jayden's diapers and coaxed himself who had a fight with Alina or when she had to go to school because Jayden was throwing a tantrum and being so naughty. All of that turned out to be years ago.
"I didn't expect you to ask me for this so soon. I felt like time was passing so fast until I didn't even notice. It feels like only yesterday when I carried you when you were a baby, but now you are about to have a child of your own."
Jayden was moved when he heard his mother's words until the last part of what Hailee said. "Erm, mom… we haven't gotten that far… I was just about to propose…."
It seemed that Hailee's thinking was too advanced in this regard, but either way, Jayden understood how his mother was feeling now.
He then walked over to hug Hailee. No words were spoken between the two of them as they remained silent like that for a while until Hailee finally calmed down enough and let go.
"I hope for nothing but a beautiful life for you," Hailee said as she removed the ring that Ramon had given her more than three decades before.
It was so nostalgic when Hailee took the ring off, it made her hands tremble slightly, until it prompted Ramon to help her with it.
Decades ago, it was Ramon who put the ring on Hailee's finger and decades later, it was Ramon who took it off to let their son continue the family tradition.
Ramon gave the ring and hugged Jayden quite tightly. This was the closest he could show his emotion, because he was not used to displaying emotions like this.
But, from the brief and tight hug from his father, Jayden knew that his father's feelings were not much different from what his mother showed. It was just that he had a hard time showing any other expression other than showing that stoic expression he had on every day.
"Then what should I do? Hmm?" Suddenly, Apple appeared at the end of the corridor and found the three embracing. She looked at them confusedly and tilted her head.
Did I miss something?
However, Hailee handled things well and approached Apple immediately, she then took Apple's hand and led her away, so Jayden could hide the ring before Apple found out.
=========================
After finishing dinner with their parents, Jayden and Apple decided to go back to their hotel room to spend some time together.
The house was too small and cramped to hold two affectionate couples, so Jayden decided to have a quiet and romantic evening thinking about what he should do to propose to Apple.
What kind of event and how should he do it?
Meanwhile, Apple looked pleased when she got an email from Ivan sending her the photos from her shoot the day before.
Apple excitedly showed Jayden the photos. "What do you think?" asked Apple with a cheerful face.
"Is that even a question?" Jayden replied. Apple shouldn't need to ask anymore, because she looked amazing in the photos, even Jayden couldn't find the right words to express it. "Of course you look very, very beautiful," Jayden said, kissing Apple on the cheek. "Send the photos to me."
In a light mood and looking happy, Apple sent the photos to Jayden without asking at all.
She stared at the photos of herself and didn't realize that she could look so beautiful. No matter how ignorant you were, when you saw yourself in such an extraordinary state, you would definitely feel very happy.
It was only after a while that Apple realized what Jayden was doing. "You used my photo as your wallpaper?"
Apple caught a glimpse of herself on Jayden's phone screen and she rolled her eyes. She felt embarrassed, but there was also this tickling feeling that made her want to laugh. How could Jayden use her photo for his cell phone wallpaper? It was so cheeky, but at the same time it was funny.
It showed that Jayden was proud to have her, willing to show herself off and that was really a nice feeling.
Having someone who was proud of your existence was an honor in itself for Apple.
And she gave Jayden a kiss on the lips for that.
"That's not the way to return a compliment," Jayden said with a mischievous smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
Whereupon Jayden took advantage of the gesture and deepened the kiss by pulling Apple closer, ignoring their driver trying to stay professional in this tough job.
Arriving at the hotel, Apple pouted slightly because Jayden bit her lips, while the man only offered a half-hearted apology and blamed herself for teasing him.
Teasing him my arse. Where did he get such an assumption? He could just keep kissing her and Apple shouldn't mind, while if she was the one who started it, he said she was flirting with him?
There must be something wrong with the concept of 'flirting' that Jayden had in mind.
"Come here," Jayden said as he pulled Apple back closer to him and tousled her hair as they walked into the hotel. "You look adorable when you look annoyed and pout like that."
"Yeah, and I'm going to be fucking gorgeous when I beat you to a pulp," Apple grumbled.
She couldn't understand how these words could be categorized as compliments? Moreover, if that was really true, then every woman would constantly feign annoyance to look adorable, right?
"Language, please," Jayden said, pinching Apple's cheek gently.
However, when they entered the lobby, it seemed they had something else to worry about. Because not far from them, they could see Gladys waving at them both with Derek beside her.
"Oh, don't come here…" Jayden muttered, but against his wishes, Gladys ran toward them.
