Chapter 666 SHOCKING NEWS
"How is it? It's delicious, isn't it?" Apple blinked innocently, after she force fed Misha a piece of calamari and asked him how it tasted, as if she hadn't done anything wrong.
There was nothing wrong with what she was doing according to her. After all, Misha had not eaten well since this morning. Therefore, if he decided to be angry, at least he should have the energy to do so.
Not long after, Jayden returned with the bottle in one hand and two glasses in the other, which made Apple frown.
"Why did you only bring two glasses?" asked Apple, because she wanted to taste the drink too. She thought of having a glass this afternoon, but there was no way she could do that because it wasn't hers.
Even though she was a bit ignorant of the rules, she wouldn't drink or eat other people's things without permission.
"Who said you could have a drink now?" asked Jayden, who then took a position in the middle, between Misha and Apple, which automatically pushed the girl aside.
"Why can't I drink?" protested Apple grumbling, she couldn't stop eating her calamari. "I want a drink too."
Jayden then opened the bottle of wine with a corkscrew and poured it into the two glasses he had brought, of which he gave one to Misha and when he was about to take the other, Apple tried to snatch the glass.
Only, Jayden moved faster and brushed her hand away immediately. "I said you can't drink," he said fiercely.
"Why?" whined Apple. She scowled. She also wanted a drink. "You said I could drink with you."
"Taking care of Misha in this condition alone is hard enough, imagine if I have to take care of you too." They both knew how fucked up it could get when Apple drank.
Although Apple might not drink to the point of getting drunk, wasn't it better to be safe than sorry?
Jayden would be the next man to lose his mind if it came to taking care of Apple too tonight.
Not to mention coupled with the work that he had to deal with all day, Jayden would not be able to take care of the two of them.
Jayden couldn't even imagine the two of them getting drunk and having a fight like yesterday… ugh! Jayden didn't need that extra work.
"I'm not a kid to be taken care of." Misha grumbled and then downed his drink and poured himself some more.
"Now you eat it in peace, okay," Jayden said, and stuffed another box in Apple's hands, taking away the box in her lap that was almost empty now.
How could she eat so much in such a short time?
Apple grumbled, but then she didn't argue with what Jayden said. She just kept quiet and ate silently.
"So?" Jayden asked Misha. He turned around so he could face his cousin. "What happened to you to the point you are giving off such a gloomy aura?" Jayden asked impatiently.
Misha was silent for a moment, downed his glass until it was empty and then shook his head. He then refilled his empty glass and leaned back against the back of the sofa, his eyes still focused on the television program.
"I'm fine," he finally said.
Of course Jayden didn't believe that, he didn't wait patiently for Misha to do all the work just to finally get a half hearted 'I am alright' answer.
"It was clear something happened to you," Jayden said, taking a sip of his drink as well. "Now tell me what's wrong?"
Misha fell silent again, but then shook his head and this made Jayden sigh deeply. He leaned back against the back of the sofa, while Apple passed a piece of calamari to him as well as to Misha.
She fed them both because they were both too busy with the problems in their heads and the drinks in their hands.
"You always talk so little like this, even when you were a kid, you didn't talk much at all," Jayden said, staring at the television screen and munching on the calamari that Apple fed him. "But, at least you said something if something bothered you."
"Hm," Misha mumbled.
"Is it really hard to say this time?" Jayden glanced at Misha for a moment, to gauge his reaction.
"Hm," Misha mumbled again and this time accepted the piece of calamari that Apple fed him without frowning.
"Is it so heavy that you can't say it?" Jayden asked again. "I can find out what the problem is if you can't say it because it's too heavy, so you want me to find out myself?"
"I don't know," Misha replied in a deep voice. "I don't know if this should be said or not," he said in a tired voice. He then drank his drink again before pouring some more wine into his empty glass again.
"So you're not going to say it or do you need a little more time?" Jayden asked.
"I don't know," Misha replied, shaking his head. He then received another piece of calamari from Apple.
"Hey, you already gave him two pieces and only gave me one," Jayden protested to Apple.
"I have a child," said Misha suddenly.
For a moment, there was silence surrounding the statement even though the television show was still going on, but for Jayden and Apple, they couldn't hear anything after the shock they felt when Misha admitted this.
"What?" Jayden stammered. He didn't know what to say in response to this news or what response he should give. "Can you say that again? I don't think I heard the last part."
Apple then grabbed the television remote and turned off the television show to be able to hear more clearly what Misha had just said.
"Say it again, you have a child?" Jayden repeated the words that made him unable to believe what he just heard.
And this time, Misha tilted his head and looked Jayden straight into his eyes while saying very seriously.
"I have a daughter."
