Chapter 680: LUCID DREAM

Chapter 680: LUCID DREAM

"Child? You mean my children with Apple later. Don't you?" Jayden corrected Pyro's words with a grin.

Meanwhile, Pyro could only grunt in disgust when he heard what Jayden had to say.

Damn this boy.

"Don't push your luck, because I might not be this good later," Pyro said threateningly. He then looked at Jayden with annoyed eyes. "How can you not heed any of my words after our awkward conversation about protection all those years ago?" he grumbled which made Jayden laugh.

"Well, you could say there's nothing that can stop me," he said proudly. Of course, he wasn't being serious because he remembered very well what had caused this situation.

Well, even though it was already like this, Jayden didn't regret it at all. He would accept his child well, and whatever happened later, he and Apple would face it together.

"I feel like hitting you right now," Pyro muttered, his father instincts were goading him to just do that, only he was too tired. "Too bad I'm still recovering."

"I'll count it as I'm lucky today then," said

Jayden smiled sweetly.

"You're really annoying..." Pyro grumbled, he then sighed and closed his eyes.

"Hey, if you want to sleep, go back to your room," Jayden said as he shook Pyro's shoulder, but the man just gave a low mumble and fell asleep. "Tsk, you're not a child, I can't carry you to the room, you're too heavy."

Pyro who was still half awake then muttered. "Then get me a pillow, I don't want to sleep in the room."

Hearing this, Jayden couldn't help but take a pillow and blanket from Pyro's room and tuck him in the sofa. He then continued drinking a few more glasses of wine, before he changed clothes and went to Apple's room.

The woman was sleeping very soundly and Jayden didn't want to wake her or make her uncomfortable because right now, his body was still reeking of alcohol.

"I'll be right back with you," Jayden said, then he kissed Apple's forehead and stepped out of the room.

It was still very early, but today was the day Jayden would settle the scores with the Gevano family.

Now that things were like this, it seemed Jayden really had to end his conflict with the Gevano family because he didn't want his child to become the target of that family.

He really had to ax this family down to the roots because he didn't want his child to be harmed by them or go through the same thing he had before.

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

When Apple woke up, it was morning and when she turned around she didn't find Jayden there and instead whom she saw was; Hailee!

Hailee Tordoff was by her side! She was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her gently.

Wait! Was she still sleeping? Was this just a dream? There was no way Hailee Tordoff was in her house and in her room. What was she doing here? This was really very confusing.

For a moment, Apple didn't react at all to the scene before her eyes, she thought she was still dreaming. You know, like a lucid dream, a dream that would feel so real. So real that Apple could even feel Hailee's soft hand caressing her cheek.

"Why am I dreaming of Jayden's mother…?" mumbled Apple, then she pulled the blanket back. She could even hear the woman's soft laughter and her very cheerful voice.

"Sleep if you're still tired, you need to rest a lot," said Hailee, she then pulled the blanket up to Apple's chin and rubbed her head, helping her to fall back asleep and of course it was really nice to get someone to give her attention like this.

Therefore, while smiling and closing her eyes, Apple curled her body and smiled happily. Yes, it is very comfortable when you have a mother watching over you.

"Hm…" Apple mumbled, feeling Hailee's soft touch. "Jayden, I am borrowing your mother for a moment…"

Maybe it was because Apple was still sleepy and oblivious to her surroundings, so she spoke without thinking and didn't really know why she said that. All she knew was that she felt very comfortable right now.

And again, that laugh sounded so much fun, Apple felt that she could listen to it all day long.

"You can borrow me anytime sweetie," Hailee said softly.

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

The second time Apple woke up, she didn't find Hailee beside her anymore, but the sun was already shining brightly high in the sky and she felt her drowsiness had subsided a bit. However, she got up from her bed feeling so hungry that her stomach ached a little.

After washing her face, she felt fully awake. And so Apple got out of bed before skipping out of her room to go to the kitchen, but what she saw in the kitchen made her stop in her tracks.

It was the figure of Ramon Tordoff! He was leaning against the kitchen counter with a cup of coffee in his hand.

For a moment, they stared at each other and Apple couldn't help but frown.

If this was indeed a dream, why did it feel so real? Especially the pungent smell of coffee, why did it feel so real? She didn't like the strong smell of coffee now.

"Wait, am I still dreaming?" Apple frowned when she saw Ramon and the man also frowned at what she just said.

"What do you mean by dreaming?" asked Ramon as he took a sip of his coffee and looked at her with a furrowed brow. "Pregnancy left you in a daze?" he asked in his deep, distinctive voice.

"What?" Apple blinked her eyes repeatedly. She looked at Ramon with an inexplicable expression then shook her head.

"Something's not right here," Apple muttered. "Are you real?" Apple asked Ramon, after which she approached the man to take a closer look. "You can't be Ramon Tordoff, he's miles from here."

Meanwhile, Ramon just regarded her coolly. "I just arrived a few hours ago knowing you were pregnant."
