Chapter 700: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
"Soon Nadia will contact you, we will just have to wait for what she wants. And in the meantime, the child can stay here with me," said Pyro.
Right. If her mother wanted something, it was certain that she would contact Apple sooner or later, since she was unlikely to contact Pyro.
"Do you mind if he stays here?" asked Apple, slightly worried about Pyro. Because after all he had to face her mother too, right?
Wasn't Pyro already planning to cut all the contact and ties with her mother? So, it could be said that Pyro no longer wanted to have anything to do with her mother, therefore, Apple was a little worried about her father.
"After all, he is the son of my mother," Apple emphasized. "Are you okay with that?"
But, on the other hand, Pyro seemed to imagine that and then shook his head.
"I don't think it's a problem. I don't see him as Nadia's son, I just see him as a confused boy," Pyro answered briefly. "He can use your room, since you're moving in with Jayden. Hmm, the timing is just right."
Apple narrowed her eyes when she heard this, she was suspicious of her father.
"Are you asking me to get out of this house now?" Apple frowned.
"Of course not," said Pyro hastily. "At least with the child around, I will not be alone at home," he said again.
Yes, it was true that Apple felt bad about having to leave her dad home alone, so maybe there was a point in letting Jack stay with Pyro for the time being.
"Oh, I found your mother's address," Gabriel said, after he called several people to find out where Nadia was.
========================
Apple felt this was an issue that she needed to address immediately, before the problem got bigger and her mother became more and more problematic.
Therefore, it was decided that it was Apple who would go to see her mother the next day to discuss Jack's problem and what her purpose was in getting the child to come to her house.
Luckily, even with such a father and mother, Jack grew up to be a good and obedient child.
He was not a bother and he'd clean after himself.
Pyro even seemed to be enjoying his company and no longer looked gloomy because his only daughter was no longer living there.
He even seemed to have forgotten about Apple when the two of them were watching football. Apparently, Pyro did want a son, not that Pyro treated Apple badly, on the contrary, he was the best father Apple could have.
Therefore, it was very unfortunate that such a child had to be taken care of by her mother and stepfather whose thoughts were really hard to predict.
"I'll go in myself, you guys just wait here," Apple said to Gabriel and Danny. They both came together with her to visit her mother's house.
Because Jayden was very busy with court matters because of the Gevano family case, he couldn't come with her.
Well, he kept complaining that he didn't have time to be with Apple, which was pretty cute.
Jayden became even more grumpy when he found out that he had to leave the pregnant Apple more often because of the problem and also apologized for not being able to be involved much in the process of their marriage later.
Well, if you have Hailee Tordoff, you won't need anything else. Apple just had to say what she wanted and Hailee would arrange a few options for her to choose from in no time, making things easy.
"But, Mr. Tordoff said not to let you out of our sight," Gabriel said, reminding Apple of this.
Considering how Jayden was, of course Apple believed he actually said that.
"No need," Apple said emphatically, after all, what could her mother do.
"But you're pregnant," Danny added which made Apple glare at him.
"Yes, I'm pregnant, not sick, I can even beat you two now," she grumbled.
Everyone was getting too cautious around Apple, knowing she was pregnant.
It was nice to always be noticed, but when it came to the Tordoff family, they could go from ten to thousand real fast.
After all, what would her mother do? Not even her stepfather could possibly do anything to her.
"Okay, but if there's anything, just scream," Gabriel said, still worried that Apple was entering the house alone.
Hearing this, Apple couldn't help but smile wryly, how could they expect her to scream in fear? If anything, it was her mother and stepfather who would scream like that, because right now she was very upset.
"I'll go first," Apple said, stepping out of the car and past the faded brown fence.
It was not the same house that Apple used to live in, as it looked like her mother had moved here and changed her last name after legally marrying her stepfather.
Apple then stepped into the house and knocked on the door. Outside the fence, she could see a car waiting for her, in which Gabriel and Danny were sitting, watching her movements.
After the third knock, Apple heard a noise from inside the house followed by the sound of a door lock opening.
At first, Apple thought she was going to face her mother or stepfather, but who would have thought that who she was meeting now was someone who hadn't crossed Apple's mind at all.
"You?!" said Apple, frowning in confusion. She almost wanted to run back to the car and confirm with Gabriel that the house she had come to was the right one. "How did you get here?"
Apple was completely flabbergasted, and so was the man in front of her. He was no less surprised by Apple's sudden appearance.
"This… this is my uncle's house," said the man with a frown. "What are you doing here?"
