Chapter 713: I WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING
Chapter 713: I WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING
Jayden didn't really know what to say anymore when he saw Misha in his apartment.
He just wanted to take a day off and spend some time with Apple and the next day he would ask permission not to go in because he had to accompany Apple for a pregnancy checkup. A very simple plan.
As for the next day…. Well, Jayden would think of what other excuses he could use for not showing up for work then.
The point was he didn't want to be away from Apple because Jayden didn't want this girl to hear the rumors that were circulating out there, until things were under control, he wanted Apple to just relax in this house and not think about unimportant things.
But, it seemed like that wasn't possible anymore.
"So, what are you doing here? Did you finally realize that you missed me?" Jayden asked nonchalantly and this made Misha frown, because he didn't expect that his cousin couldn't guess what his purpose was for coming here.
"I came here to drag you back to work," Misha replied matter-of-factly. He looked very relaxed according to his current appearance, he also seemed much better at responding to Jayden, though his words were still a little sarcastic. "I knew you were going to be truant."
"Can't I get a day off?" Jayden asked groggily.
"Of course not, you said the same thing when you skipped work three days ago," Misha replied calmly. He then looked at Apple. "Especially with the problems that are out there, shouldn't you get back to work soon, so you can clean up the mess?"
"What's the problem out there?" asked Apple quickly, because that was what Jayden and herself were talking about before this. She was getting more and more curious because it seemed like it was such a big deal until Misha was paying attention while Jayden was being so overprotective.
"You did not know?" Misha asked, raising his eyebrows in surprise.
"I'll tell her later," Jayden interrupted quickly, only Misha ignored him and immediately told Apple about what was going on out there.
"Your mother was interviewed and said that you behaved badly with your stepfather," Misha said casually. He also explained some things that left Apple confused, between wanting to laugh or having to cry when she heard it all because it all sounded so annoying.
Her own mother even said that Apple had run away from home in childhood and went to live With her father because Pyro was much more settled than she was and Apple didn't want to have a hard life.
Therefore, with her now being married to Jayden, rumors spread about her being a gold digger very quickly.
"What?" Apple really didn't know how to respond to this, but it all sounded so ridiculous. Well, if she were dealing with her mother, of course, she couldn't use logic, because the word was not in her mother's dictionary at all.
"So, what are you going to do? Oh, yeah… your mom also said you were pregnant right now and the media assumed that you trapped Jayden with the baby." Misha nodded toward Apple's still flat stomach.
Misha didn't mean to accuse Apple of this, because he knew what their relationship was like and Apple understood what he meant by that.
But, still, listening to what he had to say made her so irritated.
While on the other hand, Jayden could only facepalm himself. He'd been trying to keep the news under wraps and tell Apple slowly, but thanks to this cousin, Apple was literally smothered with the whole news.
"Now there are many reporters waiting for you downstairs and your father's house was also being haunted by reporters," Misha said this to her and then turned his attention back to Jayden. "Didn't he tell you?"
"I was planning to tell her slowly," Jayden said curtly and annoyed. "But, thanks for revealing it like this."
"Oh, no need to mention it," Misha said as if he had done a big favor to Jayden.
"I feel like throwing you off the roof of this building," Jayden grumbled in annoyance. If he could do that calmly, then Jayden would definitely do it, too bad he only had one cousin and it was a shame to lose him.
"So, what are you going to do?" Misha asked Apple, who had been silent for a long time.
Jayden also looked at Apple, waiting to see what would be her decision on this matter. Would she want to do something very significant?
But then, Apple turned and looked at Jayden. "I'm not used to dealing with these kinds of things. What do you think we should do?"
Apple had no idea that her mother would be holding interviews with reporters. Where did she get a reporter to cover this story? But then, that wasn't the main problem now, because now she had to realize what she had to do.
The best way to deal with this was to stop her mother from continuing to get on stage and throw all the unnecessary stuff at the media.
In fact, Apple was very embarrassed about this. She didn't know how she would face Mrs. and Mr. Tordoff now. They must have felt ashamed to have to deal with someone like her mother.
"In my opinion, you should hold a press conference, before things get any more complicated," Misha replied.
"She asked for my opinion," Jayden grumbled, because Misha had spoken before he could speak his mind, but what Misha said was true.
They had to hold a press conference soon, before things got any worse.
"Press conference…" Apple mumbled. Wouldn't that mean she had to go before the public? Ugh. Apple didn't like stuff like that, but they had no choice but this, did they?
"Do you want to do it?" Jayden asked carefully. "If you don't want to do it, you don't have to worry, you don't even have to think about it. I'll take care of everything."
