Chapter 717: SHE NEEDS TO RECONSIDER IT
Chapter 717: SHE NEEDS TO RECONSIDER IT
Apple was looking for the wallet Jayden had asked her to find, but then she realized that the man never used a wallet, he only needed two cards which would always be in his phone case.
Therefore, Apple believed that Jayden just wanted to ask her to leave the kitchen because Misha didn't seem well.
Apple still didn't understand why Misha reacted like that to the words she said. Had she been too harsh? Shouldn't she have said such a thing?
And while Apple was thinking about what she had said wrong, sitting on the edge of the bed, she heard a commotion from the kitchen, which was certain to be from the two cousins.
Of course, without a second thought, Apple immediately rushed to the kitchen, she was afraid that the two of them were fighting now.
If they got into a fight over what she just said, Apple would feel guilty, even though she didn't know where the fault lay. Maybe she talked too harshly to Misha and now he was beating up Jayden? Because he didn't want to hit a pregnant woman?
Anything could be possible…
Apple quickened her pace and when she got to the kitchen, she found Misha lying on the floor while a plate had broken, the shards scattered not too far from the two of them, while Jayden was trying to help his cousin up.
"Hey, are you alright? You told me to beat you, right?" Jayden rushed over to Misha frantically and helped him to sit up, while blood was dripping from his nose and split lips.
Jayden grimaced when he saw his cousin's face. It seemed like he hit him too hard. It was Misha who had asked him to hit him, but Jayden had gone too far it seemed…
"What's going on here?" Apple asked worriedly, but she didn't come any closer because Misha's facial expression was really hard to read. She then took a tissue and gave it to Jayden to help him wipe the blood that was still dripping from Misha's nose. "You guys fought?"
"No," Jayden retorted immediately. "He asked me to hit him," Jayden became defensive and his response took Apple by surprise.
"Why?" Apple couldn't understand why Misha wanted to be hit by Jayden. "But, you don't have to beat him like this, do you?" She lightly hit Jayden's back for that.
Well, Jayden couldn't argue anymore, he was indeed in the wrong here.
Only, Misha didn't seem to care, he stood up and then said. "I can't show up to the office looking like this." Misha pointed at his own face which was still bleeding. "So, you need to go alone."
And after saying that, casually, Misha walked away from the kitchen, leaving the confused couple behind.
For a moment, the atmosphere there fell silent because no one spoke a word. They were still trying to digest what Misha meant and why he was behaving like that. He looked weird to say the least.
Neither of them knew for sure what the reason was except for the woman who had his child, but that didn't answer the question as to why Misha asked Jayden to hit him, because it was so absurd and unreasonable.
"What really happened?" Jayden asked confusedly. "Didn't he come to take me to the office? And now I have to tackle problems in the office alone?" Jayden frowned.
His dear cousin came and spoiled his morning with Apple, but then he asked him to hit him and now he couldn't go to the office on the pretext of his battered face.
"I guess so," Apple said casually, then she stood up. "You have to go to the office yourself it seems."
Jayden sighed in exasperation when he realized this. "Ah! This sucks!" he exclaimed. "I still want to spend time with you!"
Jayden then accepted a helping hand from Apple to stand up, though he was still grumbling in displeasure.
"You're going to be a father and nurturing a child is expensive, so you have to be more proactive in making money," Apple said in a wise tone, smiling and smacking Jayden on the ass.
Jayden smirked when he heard that and then picked up Apple's body to carry her out of the kitchen. "Oh, you're right. Nurturing a child is indeed expensive, especially when I want another twelve from you. I have to work even harder for our future."
"You think I'm a cat!" cried Apple, wide-eyed.
=========================
Jayden finally left for the office, but not before grunting and getting dramatic hugs and kisses from Apple. She finally had time to check what was really going on out there until Jayden forbade her to see the news.
Since Misha had already told Apple in detail what had actually happened, there was no reason for Jayden to hold her phone anymore.
And after Apple saw the news, she realized all that was true. The news could disturb and make her uncomfortable. Just looking at this news already made Apple very upset, especially when she had to read how her mother twisted all the facts.
Her mother constantly victimized herself, saying that Apple didn't want to see her anymore and even kicked her out when she tried to see her.
"Hha… I should have expected it to turn out like this." Nadia loved attention, she always liked to be the center of attention and everything that was happening right now was what she loved the most.
When else would she be a news headline and get sympathy from the public.
"'It hurts because I was chased out?'" Apple narrowed her eyes. "Didn't I already buy her breakfast the first time we met? I should have let her pay for her own food then," Apple grumbled.
Yeah, she was feeling pretty petty at the moment.
However, since the matter had already come to this, it seemed that there really was no other choice but to clear up all the misunderstandings.
"Press conference…" Apple muttered. "Should I go with it?" She reconsidered this matter more deeply.
