Chapter 683: BE CAREFUL
"My mom and dad are at Apple's house?" Jayden wanted to facepalm himself when he heard the news from Adrian.
Jayden didn't expect this news to spread so quickly. It made him feel that no matter what he did, his father would still have the best resources to get whatever information he wanted.
And what Jayden really regretted was; Why did he receive this news so late?
He didn't even know his parents were in the country until after they got to Apple's house.
His sources of information needed to be strengthened. How could his long-retired father be more up to date than him?
Jayden was feeling a little annoyed by this, shouldn't he be the one to tell the two of them?
But, of course for now, he didn't have time for that, because he had other urgent matters to deal with, namely the matter with the Gevano family.
Tonight there would be a delivery and Jayden would try to catch them all in the act. He got this news from a reliable source and he didn't want to mess up the plans that had been in place for a long time, especially when he himself was having a hard time figuring out where and when exactly this planned delivery of goods would happen again.
Because of him messing with Theodore Gevano last time, the man had become more wary than usual and leaked out a set of incorrect dates to distract him from the actual delivery.
Luckily, at the time of Apple's kidnapping the other day, he had put a bug on him. But he couldn't find much, because it seemed that the coin had been thrown away by Theodore.
"Are you going to go home and meet your parents?" asked Adrian when he saw Jayden's frowning expression, he didn't seem displeased after receiving the news.
"No, just go ahead with our original plan," Jayden said in a low voice, he scowled and stared out the windshield of his car and then pulled out his cell phone to call Apple.
Apple knew that this was the day he would catch Theodore Gevano in the act and the excuse of Apple being pregnant was a very strong reason for Jayden not to involve the woman.
Even though Apple didn't seem too happy with the decision, at least she couldn't deny that Jayden was right in forbidding her to get involved in this dangerous thing.
Therefore, like it or not, Apple obeyed his words.
"Both of your parents are here," Apple informed Jayden as soon as she picked up the phone which made the man smile.
"Yeah, I know they're there," Jayden replied softly, his expression instantly softening when he heard his fiancée's voice. "Are you okay?" Jayden asked. "My mother didn't make a fuss, did she?"
Hearing that last question made Apple laugh out loud. She didn't know what to say to describe what Hailee had done for her. "No, your mother didn't make a fuss, she just made me a lot of food. I feel like I'm going to put on a few pounds now."
"It's okay, you will be more cuddled if you're a little fat," Jayden said.
"Oh, so now you don't want to hug me because I'm skinny?" asked Apple in an annoyed tone, even though she was actually smiling at his words.
"Have I not hugged you enough to the point you are thinking like that?" Jayden asked in a spoiled voice. "Don't worry, after I get home, I will hug you so much you will never think like that again."
But, before Apple could reply to Jayden's words, he could hear his mother's voice approaching and asking Apple.
"Is that Jayden?" Hailee asked when she saw Apple on the line.
"Yeah, it's Jayden," Apple said immediately. "You want to talk to him?" asked Apple, offering and it made Jayden freeze.
"No, there's no need, there's no need to talk to my mom, I'll…" Jayden tried to keep Apple on the phone and escape from his mom, only it didn't work, because in the end, it was Hailee who snatched the phone away.
"Jayden," Hailee called out in a firm voice.
Ugh!
Jayden closed his eyes and answered. "Yes, mom?"
"How could you not tell mom that Apple is pregnant? I actually learned this from someone else and not you," she said disappointedly and slightly angry.
"You guys found out too soon," Jayden grumbled. "It's not that I'm trying to hide it or anything… but, you guys got that information too soon, Apple and I haven't even known about the pregnancy for twenty-four hours yet," Jayden grumbled to his mother.
Hailee talked as if Jayden was trying to hide it and she actually found out about Apple's pregnancy from someone else in the family, although in reality, they knew this for sure from the Tordoff family doctor who was so loyal to his father.
The doctor must have been unable to bear to keep news of this magnitude. So he told his father, who was in return so loyal to his mother… ugh. These people….
"Where are you now? How come your fiancée is pregnant and you are not by her side?" asked Hailee fiercely.
"I have some business to attend to, mom," Jayden replied, but this time his tone turned a little serious and Hailee could hear it quite well.
"Is it the problem with Theodore?" his mother asked in a cold voice. Of course, Hailee knew about Jayden and Theodore's conflict, but so far her son had handled this matter well, so she didn't feel the need to interfere in this matter.
"Yes," Jayden replied curtly, then he saw Adrian signal to him, telling him that the operation was about to start. "Mom, I'm going to hang up the phone and call back later."
Hailee was silent for a moment when she heard that, but then she nodded. "Be careful, take care of yourself and don't get hurt, your family is waiting for you to come home."
Jayden smiled when he heard this. "I will."
