Chapter 530 I WILL KICK HIM "Why don't you want to be with me? I am a good catch you know. Handsome, established, kind, has a good personality, rich… you name it. So, why do you keep rejecting me?"
"I agree that you are handsome and rich, but other than that, you're just exaggerating," Apple replied.
Apple said that to get Jayden back off, but he seemed quite happy with 'handsome and rich', so much that he was grinning at Apple like a cheshire cat.
For Jayden, at least he still had a selling point in the eyes of this girl in front of him.
"So what's your real answer? Why did you reject this handsome and rich me?" Jayden asked confidently.
Apple had to give Jayden a perfect score for his confidence. No matter which mood he was in at the moment, he would always carry himself very well.
"Because I don't want drama. I don't like the camera or being the center of attention, after all our worlds are too different, I will never understand what kind of business world you are in, nor do I want to understand it because I'm not interested," Apple declared with determination.
"Well, you've got a point." Jayden nodded in agreement. "Then I want to know what kind of world you live in. If you don't want to know my world, I want to know what kind of world you live in, what you like, what places you want to visit. After all, my world is unpleasant and boring, I wouldn't recommend it for you to learn." Jayden grimaced and this made Apple laugh.
"Well, at least you know your world is boring and understand why I didn't really want to know about it."
"That is how it is."
Seeing how Jayden's eyes lit up when Apple said that, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and say in a defeated tone. "Thirty days," Apple said.
"What do you mean thirty days?" Jayden asked not understanding, he tilted his head to ask this.
"Your original plan was to offer thirty days of this trial period, wasn't it?"
"I asked for three months."
"No, you said thirty days to my dad," Apple said, recalling the words Jayden had said to Pyro.
Jayden then clicked his tongue. "Your father can't keep secrets. He's like a double agent."
"At the end of the day, he is still my father," Apple said between laughs. She could see Jayden's genuine laugh, not the formal laugh he used to show. Jayden also seemed much more relaxed now.
"Okay, deal. Thirty days," he said at the end of his laugh. "Then you will be coming with me to my cousin's wedding, won't you? It will be held five days from now," Jayden said. "You will be my plus one."
"Your brother? Who? Misha?"
Jayden laughed when he heard Misha's name. "Of course not, with his attitude like that, I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up becoming a monk."
"I think he's more attractive than you," Apple said as she dug into her chocolate pudding.
But, Jayden was not happy with the praise that Apple threw without thinking about it. He then pulled the pudding that the girl was eating and kept it out of her reach.
"We've just officially started dating, but you're already complimenting another guy in front of me? It's unbelievable," Jayden said in a dramatic tone.
======================
"So you and Jayden are officially dating?" Those were the first words Pyro asked as soon as he saw his daughter had just come out of her room to make dinner for the two of them.
Apple didn't answer that and just continued what she was doing, preparing dinner.
"So, you were invited to the wedding?" Pyro asked again.
At this moment, Apple put down the knife she was using and turned her body to face Pyro.
"What else did Jayden say? Looks like he's going over everything with you," Apple said in a low voice, but Pyro could even hear the irritated tone in her voice from another corner of the room.
"Jayden didn't say anything to me," Pyro said honestly. "I saw his mood improved today after he had lunch with you. He is less annoying, so I guess whatever he's planning seems to be working."
Apple still didn't believe the statement, so she asked again. "Then how did you find out about the wedding invitation?" she asked.
"Of course I know, even without Jayden telling me I would have known about the big wedding," Pyro replied. "So it's true that you were invited to come?"
Apple sometimes feared how her father could turn out to be a detective if he wanted to, especially if he guessed right.
"Yeah… he invited me to come," Apple replied. She then saw her father waving his hand to sit beside him.
At first Apple wanted to refuse, but then she realized that sooner or later she wouldn't be able to avoid this conversation, so she walked over to her father after cleaning her hands and sat beside him.
"What is it?" she asked defensively. She didn't know for sure what Pyro was going to tell her, but she was sure that it had something to do with her relationship with Jayden.
"You know what you're going to face when you decide to join that family, don't you? When did you decide to be in a relationship with the Tordoffs?" Pyro asked.
He stroked Apple's hair gently, while he could see that his daughter was thinking about it.
"You understand, don't you, why I didn't approve of your relationship in the first place?" Pyro asked again and Apple nodded, she understood very well why her father disapproved of the relationship. "Not because you are not enough for them, but because you are the only person who is most important to me and I don't want anyone to hurt you, not even one of the Tordoffs."
Apple turned her head to look at Pyro's face and she could see her father looked very calm.
