Chapter 613 CAFETARIA
As soon as Apple heard that her father had regained consciousness, of course she immediately came to see how he was.
Jayden also came along with her, but since he wanted to give Apple and Pyro a little privacy, he stayed back in the hospital cafeteria to sort things out before he went over to see Pyro.
After all, there were things Jayden had to tell Pyro, so it was certain he would meet him sooner or later.
"I brought you your favorite food." Apple pulled a chair to the side of her father's bed and started to open the box of food she and Jayden had bought.
But, when Apple was about to feed her father, Pyro widened his eyes. "Apple! That ring!"
Pyro immediately took the lunch box that was on Apple's lap and put it aside, as he pulled his daughter's hand to look at the familiar ring that was wrapped around her finger more closely.
Of course Pyro knew the ring, it was Hailee's ring, passed down generation after generation in the Tordoff family and was a precious ring, and something not just anyone could wear.
"This ring!" Pyro shouted in a loud voice. He looked at Apple, then the ring then at Apple again and back to the ring.
However, all he could do was shake his head in disbelief at what he was seeing before his eyes.
"Who gave this? Where did you get it from?" asked Pyro quickly. She wanted to know for sure where his daughter got the ring from, even though he could guess easily.
Especially when Adrian gave a vague answer when he asked how the relationship between Apple and Jayden was.
He didn't answer him directly, but it went without saying that something important, or rather something big had happened between Jayden and his daughter.
However, he wanted to make sure that his conjecture was correct. He wanted to hear it straight from Apple.
"Where did you get this from?" Pyro grabbed Apple's hand and gripped it tightly.
"Dad…" Apple then let her dad pull her hand around like that, because she knew she had to explain this.
Ugh. Jayden should be here to explain, after all this was his responsibility, right?
"Jayden gave it to me," Apple said, then she added quickly. "Last night."
"He proposed to you?" Pyro asked.
"Yeah, he proposed to me."
For a moment, Pyro fell silent when he heard that answer. He looked like a shaken person and this worried Apple.
"Are you okay?" asked Apple quickly. "What is it? You don't agree?"
But, a moment later, Pyro hugged Apple. He grabbed her quite strongly and surprised his daughter.
"What's the matter, dad?" Fear began to creep into Apple's heart about the possible bad things that could happen. "You don't approve of this relationship?"
This was very likely to happen, because at first Pyro had doubts about Jayden, or maybe he still had doubts about him.
"Do you not approve of this relationship?" asked Apple again, repeating her question, because Pyro didn't answer her and just hugged her tightly.
"Of course you both have my blessings if that's what you want," Pyro finally said and hugged Apple even tighter. "I just didn't expect that he would finally settle down with my beautiful daughter."
Apple laughed when she heard that.
"But, of course I have to have a serious talk with him," said Pyro, suddenly his tone turned very serious and he stared intently at Apple.
"Jayden is in the cafeteria downstairs, do you want me to call him over here?" asked Apple as she removed her arms from around Pyro and sat back in her chair.
"No, I'm not in a hurry to see and talk to him. I want to spend some time with my daughter first," replied Pyro, shaking his head, as if seeing Jayden was the last thing on his mind.
=========================
"May I sit here?" A young woman approached Jayden carrying a tray of food.
For now, Jayden wasn't with any of his bodyguards, as this area of ??the hospital had been thoroughly protected by Jayden's people, ever since Pyro was hospitalized here.
"There's a lot of empty seats over there," Jayden said politely, pointing at the row of empty chairs and tables this woman could occupy.
Jayden wore casual clothes and a hat, so it was a little difficult to attribute him to Jayden Tordoff, heir to the Tordoff family.
But still, without that status, his face would be very attractive for those around him, especially those of the opposite sex.
"But you're sitting here alone," the woman said in a voice that sounded very low, a little seductive even, as she sat down on the chair opposite Jayden and this made him raise an eyebrow. "You look lonely, so I guess I'll accompany you here. It is okay, right? I've been watching you from the start, but you're not with anyone."
"I'm here with my fiancée," Jayden said, leaning his back and folding his arms across his chest. "A small piece of advice, you should leave immediately, because my fiancée is quite fierce."
The girl widened her eyes in disbelief, but then she laughed while covering her mouth with her hand, to make herself look a little cute. "You must be upset to have such a fierce fiancée like that."
"No," Jayden replied.
The girl leaned in and Jayden could smell the perfume she was wearing, and only one thought crossed his mind; he didn't like the smell of her perfume. It was nowhere as nice as Apple's natural scent.
"You don't have to lie, I know how you feel, before this, I was also in a very toxic relationship like that. My lover is very controlling, in almost everything…" the girl tossed her long brown hair and slightly lifted her chin.
While Jayden had not paid attention to what the girl had to say since the second sentence because he was not at all interested in listening to her babble.
"You can move to that empty table, or I'll move there."
