Chapter 584 PUNISHMENT
It could be said that Jayden was very fussy when he was sick and very clingy to say the least, because he did not want Apple to leave his side at all. Even if the girl got out of bed just to go to the toilet, Jayden became very noisy by asking where she wanted to go.
"I want to pee, you want to monitor me while I'm peeing?" asked Apple irritably, but what annoyed her even more was the fact that Jayden took the question seriously.
The man blinked a few times and asked innocently. "May I join?" he even blinked cutely.
Apple then answered by shoving a pillow in his face, as she walked away from this unbearable man.
"Why did you do that to me? I am sick," Jayden mumbled as he lay back on the bed. "Don't stay in there too long."
Apple then gave him the middle finger while looking fiercely at him.
"Oh, girl, you should be punished for that attitude," Jayden said in a calm voice. "If only I wasn't sick, I would have given you a very good punishment," said Jayden.
But, Apple didn't listen to him at all, she even preferred to stay in the bathroom for a while, calming herself before she got out of there and faced Jayden's sometimes unreasonable attitude.
How could Apple not be stressed, when the man hugged her very tightly while his body was burning at thirty- eight degrees Celsius? To make things worse, he wouldn't let go at all. Clinging his hot body to hers. Apple felt like she was being roasted when he did this.
But, as soon as Apple shut herself in the bathroom, Jayden's frowning expression turned serious as he picked up the phone that Apple had kept away from him because he didn't stop making phone calls to Misha which made him restless.
The problem was; Misha had important information about the Gevano family and they needed to act quickly on this and although Misha said he could handle it himself, Jayden didn't want to leave it to him, because he wanted to be involved too.
However, Apple was on Misha's side and kept the phone away from Jayden.
"So, how's it going?" Jayden asked Misha in a cold voice. He wouldn't let this ruin his plans at all.
"Shouldn't you be sleeping?" Misha asked in an irritated voice, while behind him Jayden could hear the screams of several people begging Misha for mercy. They seemed to be being tortured and Misha didn't care at all about it.
"Just answer first," Jayden said impatiently. Apple could come out of the bathroom at any time and the girl would snatch his phone. Apple could be as fierce as his mother when she wanted to.
"I learned the Gevano family was planning another one of their deliveries again. The shipment will be one month from now, if we find out the day of the delivery, maybe we can catch them red-handed this time," Misha explained.
Meanwhile Jayden listened to what Misha said while listening to Apple's movements in the bathroom, predicting when she would come out, because he didn't want to be caught on the phone with Misha.
"Okay, how much information did you get on that so far?" Jayden then heard Apple finishing her business in the bathroom and before Misha could answer he quickly ended the call. "Apple is coming. Don't call me."
After that, the call was cut off, which made Misha stare at his phone screen in disbelief, how could Jayden tell him not to call himself when he was the one who called him.
"You really can't be trusted," Misha grumbled. "Apple has you wrapped around her little finger."
Meanwhile, Apple walked toward Jayden who looked like he was sleeping, but her instincts told her differently, somehow she didn't believe this and walked to the side of the bed to look at Jayden's cell phone lying on the table.
That was when Apple found out that Jayden wasn't sleeping and had just used his phone.
"So you called Misha again?" asked Apple, who later got no response from Jayden. "I know you're not sleeping."
Jayden then opened his eyes slowly. "Would you be angry if I told the truth?"
Apple just raised an eyebrow without saying anything, which made Jayden then sit up and pull her hand to sit beside him.
"How did you know I just called Misha?" Jayden asked very softly as he hugged her body tightly, making Apple flinch. Jayden's body temperature still hadn't gone down and this worried her.
"Your phone's position shifted a few inches," Apple replied lightly which made Jayden release his arms and stare at Apple with an expression that was filled with disbelief. "What?"
"You pay attention to things to that detail?" he said with a surprised expression on his face. "Am I dating a psychopath?"
"What?!" Apple hit Jayden for his comments. Forget about him being sick, his words really pissed Apple off.
=========================
Today was the last day of their stay at the resort and tomorrow afternoon they would return to city A. But because Jayden was sick, he couldn't attend the last party held, as a closing event.
"You can go alone," Jayden told Apple. "I don't want you to miss this moment."
Apple pursed her lips. "I won't miss anything, the only people I know are you and your parents, but they both have come back first. So, there's no need for me to be at the party. After all, I've been to a barbecue before. It won't be much different."
Apple then slung the jacket over Jayden's shoulders as the man stood on the balcony looking up at the mountains that looked like dark silhouettes under the night sky.
"Okay, if you prefer to be here with me," Jayden said, he then felt Apple hugging him from behind and this made his heart melt a little.
"I don't think I have any other choice," Apple replied lightly.
