Chapter 651 BICKERING

Chapter 651 BICKERING

"You are asking me to comfort you while you are thinking about another man?" asked Derek sarcastically. He really couldn't understand what was going through this woman's head to say such a thing, to be so bold as to even suggest such a thing.

Entertain her? She seemed beyond crazy.

"You know what our relationship is like, don't you?" Rachel was starting to lose control over herself now. She wanted to get closer, but her feet couldn't go any closer than this.

Usually at times like this, Rachel would go up to Derek and hug him, comfort him and tell him that she loved him.

Only this time was different, and she did not dare to approach this man. This man gave off a terrifying aura, as if the man Rachel had known all this time was no longer here and this man was someone else.

"Relationship?" asked Derek sarcastically. "There is no relationship between us. I am through with you."

Rachel looked a little surprised when she heard this and she blinked her eyes in disbelief, as if she misheard what Derek had said just now.

How could he do this to her?

"What? You're not serious, are you?" Rachel asked, her voice a whisper now, because she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Never once did Rachel think that she would hear words like these from Derek's lips, when he had treated her like a princess all along and always did whatever she asked, even when it didn't make sense at all.

"Of course," Derek said, then grabbed his suitcase and walked away. He didn't have enough money to rent a car or stay at a hotel, but he still had enough money to go to his uncle's house he hadn't been to in a long time.

The only thing he could hope for now was that his uncle was still living in the same place.

"You can't possibly break up with me!" Rachel cried, screaming into the back of Derek who was stepping out of her apartment.

"I just did." After saying that, Derek walked away from there and all the toxic attitude and toxic relationship between him and Rachel.

At first, Derek thought he would feel sad or lost, but when he left it all behind, he felt that he was a lot freer and his heart became a lot lighter.

Maybe it was just the shock at the moment that made him a little numb, maybe a few hours later he would feel like he lost Rachel and beg her to take him back, but for now, he wanted to enjoy the feeling of freedom he never had before.

Derek walked calmly toward the elevator and he didn't even turn his head to look at Rachel, who was standing in the doorway of her apartment, waiting for him to turn around and take a look.

But, even to the end, Derek didn't look at her.

========================

Today was the day that Pyro could return home after a long stay in the hospital, therefore, Jayden took half a day off and made Misha angry again because he left his job again.

But, before his cousin could nag very long, Jayden had run away with Adrian first and left Misha with several meetings he had to attend to replace Jayden.

It was still unclear if Jayden could survive Misha's wrath, once he got back.

But, for now, Jayden didn't care at all. No, he never cared about that at all. Misha was more suited to be in the office than him anyway.

"How are you feeling, father?" Jayden asked Pyro.

"Father?" Pyro grimaced when he heard the call. He widened his eyes as if Jayden had just said something completely unreasonable. "Since when did you become my son?" said Pyro grumbling.

Jayden pushed Pyro's wheelchair into the house as he happily teased him, knowing that Pyro would be annoyed if he heard Jayden call him 'father'.

Pyro was still not willing to give up his daughter to Jayden Tordoff, or maybe he was not willing to give up his only daughter to anyone at all.

Pyro was just in a denial phase.

Meanwhile, Apple, who followed them from behind, together with Adrian who was carrying Pyro's things, could only sigh when they saw the two of them fighting again like this.

Even before Jayden met Apple, the relationship between Jayden and Pyro had always been like this, which ironically showed just how close the two of them were.

"Look, they are at it again," said Adrian when he saw Pyro and Jayden starting to annoy each other.

"Can't you take him back to the company?" Apple looked at the two men in front of her with a tired look. She didn't want to serve either of them now.

"Can you?" Adrian actually asked Apple back.

If Apple couldn't persuade Jayden to return to his company, how could she expect Adrian to do that? Of course, he could not do it.

Too bad, Apple had to face them both, at least for today…

=======================

While Apple was preparing lunch for the three of them with Jayden's help, she heard the doorbell ring, signaling that someone had come to visit their house.

"I'll check it out in a bit," said Apple, then dried her hands and let Jayden do the rest.

Considering the incident that happened when they were attacked inside this house, of course this time Jayden put a pretty tight security around the house in order to prevent the same thing from happening again.

Therefore, if there were guests who came, it meant that person had been 'cleared' by their guards.

But, who had come? Because Apple and Pyro very rarely got guests.

And when Apple opened the door, how surprised she was when she saw someone standing in front of her door with a very wide smile as they looked at her.

"Apple!" exclaimed that person cheerfully.
