Chapter 709: DO YOU LIKE IT HERE?
Chapter 709: DO YOU LIKE IT HERE?
When they heard a commotion break out outside the house, Apple and Pyro immediately finished their conversation and rushed out of the house, in the hopes of finding out what had really happened.
But, as she passed the living room, Apple found Jack staring at the door with frightened eyes.
What did their mother actually do to make this child look like this? Apple didn't understand at all.
"Relax," Apple said nothing.
Jack nodded, but he left the living room and went into Apple's room. What the boy was afraid of was that his mother would come and force him to go home, because he didn't want to go home and wanted to be in this house with Uncle Pyro and sister Apple a little longer.
Apple saw how Jack ran into the room and only then did she go out and find there were three cops facing off against a furious Pyro.
"Go inside, Apple," Pyro said in a snarl, something he rarely did and this left Apple a little confused as to what was really going on here.
"What is this?" asked Apple, about to walk over to Pyro's side, but then her father looked at her very fiercely.
It was very rare for Pyro to look at Apple like that, therefore, one fierce look from her father was enough to make her stop in her tracks. She was now standing in the doorway, staring at the three cops trying to make their way toward Apple.
Only Pyro and Gabriel got in their way. Meanwhile Danny seemed to be on the phone with someone.
What was really going on?
"GET IN AND CLOSE THE DOOR!" Pyro exclaimed angrily and this made Apple immediately do what her father told her to do. Damn, her dad could be such a softie, but when he was angry, Apple wouldn't dare mumble a word to refute him.
Therefore, Apple immediately went inside and closed the door, but she could still hear what her father was saying.
It seemed that someone had called the police and accused Apple of committing a crime, but she couldn't hear clearly what crime she had committed.
And this made Apple press her ear against the closed door. Ugh. Wouldn't it be easier if she just opened the door? Because at this rate, her father's voice sounded rather muffled.
So Apple opened the door a little and started listening more carefully to what the problem really was and why the police were here.
And it didn't take long for Apple to figure out what was really going on. Apparently, James has pressed charges against her after what she did to him. He said that he had been mistreated by Apple and even showed evidence of the 'beatings' he received from Apple.
Damn. The man was really shameless. How could her mother stand that kind of trash?
But, of course, Pyro wouldn't let his pregnant daughter be taken to the police station for an interrogation and soon Danny had returned after he called someone and gave the phone to one of the cops who seemed very aggressive and intended to break into the house.
If it weren't for Pyro and Gabriel, it was certain that the cops would have burst into the house and dragged Apple along with them.
Apple then opened the door a little wider and saw how the policeman on the phone lowered his voice and nodded respectfully.
It seemed that this matter was resolved without any fuss.
And after receiving the phone call, the three policemen immediately became more polite and respectful toward Pyro and the other two bodyguards, before they resigned themselves and left this house.
Needless to say, this was all just a matter of connections and the Tordoff family certainly had the best connections.
Not long after, Pyro opened the door and saw Apple already standing a little away from the door. He didn't have to guess that Apple had just overheard their entire conversation.
"What really happened?" asked Apple, wanting to make sure it was James who had reported herself to the police saying she had beaten him up.
"Yes, it was your mother's husband who reported you for hitting him," said Pyro, then smirked at Apple. "What happened? Why did you hit him?" he was eager to know.
And Apple was happy to tell Pyro what had happened and how she had delivered her best shot and made the man fall to the ground, unable to stand anymore with blood gushing from his nose and cracked lips.
Pyro cracked up when he heard that.
"I've taught you well," Pyro praised as he gently stroked Apple's head. "Whoa? Where's Jack?" Pyro asked when he finally realized that the boy was not in front of the television while the game was still running.
"Ah, he's in my room, it seems he thought it was mother who came to take him home. I'll talk to him for a bit," Apple said, then she walked to her room to talk to Jack before she headed back to the apartment.
Apple then knocked on her door first to announce her presence before entering the room.
"What are you doing here?" asked Apple, when she saw Jack sitting on the floor by the bed and looking at her with sad eyes.
"Is it time for me to go home?" asked Jack in a low voice, he looked like he was about to cry now.
On the other hand, hearing what Jack said made Apple smile. She sat down next to her little brother.
It was weird that she suddenly had a little brother who was already this big, but seeing how cute this kid was, Apple didn't mind it at all.
"Do you like being here?" asked Apple, to which Jack nodded emphatically.
"Yeah, I like it here," Jack answered quite firmly.
"You don't want to go home?" Jack answered by shaking his head. "You don't miss mommy?" and Jack fell silent.
