Chapter 723: PRESS CONFERENCE (2)

Chapter 723: PRESS CONFERENCE (2)

They heard the news about Apple being pregnant, but they didn't think it was true. There has been a lot of wild news lately in the mass media about the Tordoff family, especially Jayden Tordoff and his fiancée.

Not to mention the interview given by Nadia, the mother of Apple, who was Jayden Tordoff's current girlfriend, therefore, it was not wrong for them to be quite surprised when they found out that the news about Apple's pregnancy was true.

"I can't drink, because I am pregnant right now." Apple handed back the glass of wine that was given to her and smiled as she said softly to the two of them.

They were silent for a moment, but then their eyes widened in surprise. "PREGNANT?!" both of them unknowingly half shouted, but then immediately covered their mouths and lowered their voices.

"Are you really pregnant?" Stella asked, wanting to make sure she hadn't heard wrong. "Are you really pregnant? Are the various articles of news true?" she asked eagerly, but then she noticed her attitude and immediately lowered her head while muttering. "Sorry, I am too excited to hear this directly from you."

Apple laughed when she saw their reaction, but she wasn't angry. Instead of drinking her wine, she then took the cake she had been craving and began to eat quietly.

"Why are you guys so surprised?" asked Apple, smiling very sweetly at them. "The news about my pregnancy is true," she said while chewing the sweet cake with great pleasure.

"Then what about the rest of the news?" Stella asked carefully, then she continued what she was doing earlier and started doing Apple's hair back, because they only had less than half an hour before she had to go on air.

"Truth be told, some are true and the rest are fabrications." Apple then took a glass of mineral water nearby and drank it. She also then added before getting a new question. "You can see the results of the press conference later, the reporters will definitely have questions that represent your questions."

Apple didn't want to answer the same questions twice because it was exhausting.

Meanwhile, the two women couldn't help but smile sheepishly, because Apple seemed to say that they were now like reporters.

"Forgive our curiosity," said one of the women, then smiled sheepishly at Apple, while the others could only wince because they realized what they were saying was really too direct.

Luckily, Apple didn't really respond to that, because right now, she just wanted to focus on the cake.

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

"What if I can't say anything?" asked Apple. They were about to start the press conference in five minutes. Apple suddenly felt a panic attack coming on and began to realize the urgency of this occasion.

Even though only a few minutes ago she was still thinking about cakes, let alone what she wanted to eat after this event.

"It's okay," Jayden said, trying to calm Apple down. "You don't need to feel so depressed. Think of this the same as the photo shoot you've done before. Aren't you already feeling less awkward in front of the camera?"

Of course, these were two very different things, how could they be compared? When she posed for a photo shoot, she didn't have to get asked and answer or say anything, right?

Therefore, of course this was very much different from what she had done previously.

"Just hold my hand, if you feel you can't continue your speech later, you just squeeze my hand and I will manage everything," Jayden said while kissing Apple's cheeks gently. This woman could be so fierce, but when faced with situations like this, she could look like a scared kitten, really cute.

"Okay, fine then," Apple said as she grabbed Jayden's hand. There was nothing to be afraid of when Jayden said that, right?

"Are you ready?" Jayden asked before he led Apple out of the room, where behind this door were reporters waiting for them. Unmitigated, Jayden brought four of his lawyers, and the four of them were well- known lawyers in this city A.

Because it was not just a problem with Nadia, Apple's mother, but also a problem with the media that had publicized Jayden's relationship with Apple. The media company had violated many rules and now Jayden would sue them publicly.

After this point, there would be no hope for the company to survive and sooner or later, they would have to declare their bankruptcy because this was something that was bound to happen as the problem was already like this.

"No, I am not ready," muttered Apple. She gripped Jayden's hand tightly, but even though she said that, when Jayden took her out of the room, Apple followed him without much question, facing the media crew who seemed to be showering her with various unexpected kinds of questions.

The room was filled with flashes of the cameras that hurt the eyes and the noises they made because they couldn't wait to get this exclusive news and also how they tried to talk at almost the same time…

This would indeed be exclusive news, because after a long time, the Tordoff family finally spoke up after Nadia conducted interviews here and there and the story was getting more dramatic day by day, making everyone frown, as if the story came from a novel.

Meanwhile, Jayden and his lawyers answered all the rumors circulating, they also informed Apple and Jayden's wedding plans which would be held in the next few weeks, but because it was a very private event, no media partners would be allowed to enter the venue then.

But, they would hold a press conference after all that was over.

Of course, the news of this marriage answered the rumors circulating in the community, where the next question was; whether Apple was also pregnant as had been reported by the media or was it another lie perpetrated by Nadia.

"Yes, my fiancée is pregnant, she is already two months along," Jayden replied with a beaming face. Those watching the press conference could see how proud and happy Jayden Tordoff was now when he announced this. He even gazed at Apple with such love, that any woman would be envious of having managed to land a husband-to-be like Jayden.

And instantly, the press conference room was filled with congratulatory voices for the couple and wishing their baby to stay healthy until the time of delivery.

Meanwhile, throughout the press conference, Apple only answered simple questions and smiled, then occasionally ate the snacks that were provided there and Jayden would answer almost all questions, except for questions directed at Apple.

And of course, in the end came the question, after it was proven that the rumors about the marriage were true, then the next thing was about the pregnancy rumors that were spread by Nadia.

"It seems Ms. Apple really enjoyed the snack," said one female reporter who smiled at Apple. She did a pretty good opening to start the questionnaire. "Are you craving?"

It was a simple question that was usually casually asked to a friend you know and made the others laugh softly at the light joke, but of course their ears were wide open and they all had faces waiting for what answer Apple and Jayden would come up with, in response to the joke.

Apple and Jayden laughed too and she finally answered in a very relaxed tone. "Yes you are right. Now I don't just eat for myself." Apple smiled very sweetly when she said that. "Sorry if I keep eating, because this press conference is taking longer than expected and you guys are asking very creative questions, making me a little hungry."

This was what Apple said because they kept asking questions and it was hard to cut this event, so they had extended the scheduled completion of this press conference by ten minutes already.

However, because the questions they asked were very important to answer, in order to straighten out the existing problems, it seemed that they would not be finished for the next ten minutes either.

Of course, they felt that if what Apple said was true, they were trying to delay the completion of this press conference and feel bad for doing so.

While Jayden could only smile and chuckle at Apple's antics and how the girl looked very relaxed while occasionally eating her snacks, like a hungry little squirrel.

In the end, post Apple's satire, fifteen minutes later the press conference was finally over and the whole issue had been explained in great detail, condemning not only Nadia but also the media company that had been spreading private news without permission.

"What do you want to eat now?" Jayden asked when they were back in his office again. Apple was lying on the couch, while Jayden was hovering over her, of course he wasn't putting all his weight on Apple. "Would you like to try some cake at the cake shop that just opened nearby?"

Apple raised her eyebrows when she heard that. "I didn't know you were paying attention to the cake shops that just opened," Apple said. It was quite surprising for her to find out that Jayden knew of a pastry shop near his office.

"Of course I know." Jayden bit Apple's finger that was rubbing his lips. "My wife has been into cakes lately, of course I should know that."

Jayden winked at her with mischievous smile etched on his lips.
