Chapter 474 THE WAY JAYDEN'S MIND WORKED "If we succeed in this mission, you must date me, what do you say?" Jayden said, turning his complete attention to Apple. Ignoring the game on his phone, he looked at the girl seriously.
"What?!" Apple almost got them into an unnecessary accident out of shock at Jayden's suggestion.
However, it seemed the man didn't care at all about that fact and continued talking as if Apple weren't looking at him like he had grown a new head. "I've thought about this."
"Don't think about things like that, it doesn't suit you," Apple said curtly. She then tried to concentrate again on the road in front of her. It seemed Jayden had taken the wrong medicine, so he was thinking incorrectly.
And again, Jayden ignored Apple's grunts, as he then explained this more logically. "I have never shared my personal problems with other women and don't think I would share these problems with any woman in the future."
Apple glanced at Jayden to make sure he wasn't going to pull out a ring and ask her to marry him. This man seemed drunk, but she was sure that Jayden didn't drink any alcohol earlier.
"But I'm sharing my stories with you and I'm fine when you're around me," and Jayden added. "And even now that we're making a plan together, it's something special to me."
Apple shook her head. She found it hard to follow Jayden's logic in thinking.
Yes, right. Jayden wasn't using his feelings when he said he wanted to date Apple, but was depending on his logic.
Since he thought he could tell Apple anything and she also knew what was wrong with Jayden, he thought he didn't need to explain things that were supposed to be secrets to other people.
Because if he had to tell her all these things, Jayden didn't think he would even start at all, and a relationship based on dishonesty wouldn't last long.
At least those were the points Apple had caught after listening to Jayden's lengthy explanation, until finally when they got off the freeway, Apple decided to pull over to the side of the car and confront this man, letting him know what was on her mind and what she thought of it.
"You don't like me Jayden, you just don't want your secrets to be known by others and it's too complicated for you to tell any woman you're going to date." Apple said what was on her mind.
And to her surprise, Jayden agreed with her thoughts. He nodded, confirming what Apple said.
"Right, that's what I thought." Then he smiled proudly. "See? I don't need to explain to you at length and you know what I'm thinking, we are of the same mind."
"Argh!" Apple growled in annoyance, feeling like clawing at this man's face. "You don't like me, you're just happy that you have a woman who can understand your situation, because all this time it was only men who knew about all your madness and your obsession with that damned organization."
Jayden thought about it for a moment. "You're not wrong to say it like that." He had always been surrounded by men. The only women he'd ever been close to were those that thought he gave them an advantage, but it was impossible for Jayden to tell them anything about him.
Apple then rubbed her face roughly, she felt like she was talking to a five year old kid, explaining why he shouldn't eat a specific food.
"Jayden, you can't start a relationship just because you think I know all your secrets and you're free to tell me anything."
"Isn't that the basis of a relationship? No secrets?"
There was nothing wrong with what he said, that honesty was the basis of a relationship. But that was not all.
"Shall we try it first?"
"I do not want to."
"Three months. We'll be dating for three months, if you don't feel like continuing, we can separate."
"I don't agree."
"Six months."
"You are crazy."
"Nine months then."
Apple didn't know what else to say in the face of this man and chose to remain silent. Well, in playing a game, one needed an opponent to continue and since Apple refused, Jayden could play his game alone.
"If you don't say anything, it means you agree."
Apples: "…"
====================
"This will be the last time I help you guys," Apple said as she rented out a small apartment for Kyle and Maureen to live in temporarily.
"Thank you Apple," Maureen said, she stepped closer to Apple and intended to hug her. But the girl stepped back, avoiding her arms with passion.
"Don't come near me, we're not that close now," Apple said coldly.
Then, from behind Maureen, Kyle walked forward, his face was all bruised with some areas still bleeding, but apart from that, he looked better.
"I want to talk to you for a moment," Kyle said in a low voice, lowering his head, showing that he was regretting something. "Can you leave us for a moment Maureen?"
Maureen then looked at Apple and Kyle in turn, thought for a moment and nodded. Then she walked into the apartment.
But Apple knew that her former best friend would be watching them from one of the doors there. She must be eavesdropping on their conversation right now, because there was no way Maureen would leave Kyle alone with her.
But, sadly, Apple could care less about either of them now and this time would really be the last. Let it slide as a reward for the good deeds they did to her when she was down first.
"Apple I'm sorry I betrayed you," Kyle said, starting their conversation.
"I don't," Apple answered quickly.
"I want us to go back to how we used to be, if possible..." Kyle said shamelessly.
And in response Apple threw a punch at Kyle's face and kicked him so hard until she could hear Maureen's scream in the distance. Sure enough, the girl was eavesdropping on their conversation.
