Chapter 18: INFORMATION ABOUT HAILEE

The next day, Ramon was finally allowed to return home and Hailee didn't have any other choice but to go with him.

However, what made Hailee confused was; Until now, neither Lis, Lexus nor Ramon, none of them asked about her background or her family.

All the way home, Ramon was busy with documents in hand and paid no attention to Hailee who was fidgeting nervously by his side.

Meanwhile, the girl repeatedly glanced at Ramon, she wanted to start a conversation with him, even considered telling him the truth, but it seemed that the man she wanted to talk was too focused on other matters.

In the car, there were only the two of them and a driver, and since Ramon couldn't be spoken to, Hailee also became silent without making a sound. She just stared out of the window, at the streets of City A which looked very beautiful with rows of lushful trees.

The bright sunlight outside, luckily, couldn't penetrate the window film of this luxury car so Hailee could stare out the window, without any discomfort for a long time.

"Our marriage will be two weeks from now, don't you want to contact your family?" Ramon asked, but his eyes did not leave the documents in his hand.

Hearing this, Hailee did not hesitate to seize the opportunity to explain truth to Ramon. "Regarding that ..."

Hailee immediately turned around and adjusted her position so that she could face Ramon. However, the man interrupted her words even before Hailee could muster up the courage to explain the truth she wanted to say.

"Sorry if I don't remember the reason, but if you have problems with your family that caused you not to invite them, I can understand." Ramon then put the documents into his hand on his lap, then looked at Hailee who lowered her head to look down because of Ramon's sharp eyes and guilt. "Therefore, Mom and Lexus didn't ask this."

'Oh, I see…'Hailee thought.

Hailee's unspoken question had been answered, about why Lis and Lexus didn't even care about her family background, even though the wedding will be held two weeks from now.

"I don't have any problems with my family," admitted Hailee. "Both of my parents have died," she continued simply.

Ramon looked a little surprised, but then he said in a calm tone. "Sorry to hear that ..."

"There is nothing to be sorry about…" Hailee shrugged her shoulders in an unconcerned manner. But, still this could not hide the sad look in her beautiful eyes.

Afterward, their conversation ended just like that, no one spoke again until they got home.

Hailee couldn't say this was really a house… the Tordoffs house was like a residential complex that only he got to fill.

Actually, as a daughter of the famous diamond businessman in the city of R, Hailee was used to living well with a fairly high social status, but seeing the Tordoff residence, still amazed her.

When the main gate opened, it took approximately five minutes by car to reach the main house, where Ramon lived.

Within this area, apart from the main house occupied by Ramon, since he was the current head of the Tordoff family after the death of his father, there were two other houses, respectively, where Lis and Lexus live.

The security at this place was very tight and Hailee could see several guards passing through the grove that stretched between the main gate and the Tordoffs' residence.

And Hailee was not someone who was good at hiding her feelings, especially when she was not on alert, so Ramon could clearly see Hailee's surprised and amazed expression and this brought a small smile to his calm face seeing this girl's innocence.

Wasn't she just like an open book, who didn't even know how to lie correctly without any loopholes? How could this girl pretend to be his fiancé and Ramon immediately found out about the lie the same day Hailee tried to convince him?

Maybe if it weren't for the chaos Ramon was causing and the hostility he had shown to her mother, Lis, all this time because she was so against the relationship between Ramon and her real lover, Lis might have found out Hailee's background easily and soon found out that this girl was lying. Because after all, Lis was too meticulous to be easily lied to.

However, after what happened following the accident that happened to Ramon, it seemed like Lis was too scared to even question Hailee. Lis just agreed to their relationship without trying to find out any truth.

Lis's attitude was understandable, as she almost lost her first son to her stubbornness.

As for Lexus, his younger brother was too scared to even oppose Ramon's words.

"I'll live here too?" Hailee turned her face toward Ramon.

"Where else will you live?" Ramon glanced at the house. From the memory he remembered from four years ago, it seemed like this building hadn't changed much.

"But we're not married yet," Hailee replied. She looked like she wanted to run away, but at the same time she wanted to stay there too.

This girl's intentions were really confusing ...

"We're getting married in two weeks, so what difference does it make if you live here now or later?" Ramon glanced at Hailee and smiled at her.

When the car stopped, there were two servants who opened the car door for them, so their chat was delayed a little.

But, as soon as Hailee was about to chase Ramon into the house, she saw that someone was waiting for Ramon in here.

The man was Danny Aramos, Ramon's right hand man. Hailee had seen this man visiting the hospital several times while Ramon was being treated there.

Danny smiled and nodded politely at Hailee when he saw her and Hailee greeted him back with the same gesture.

"I want to talk for a moment…" Hailee said to Ramon, but the man interrupted her.

"Get some rest, they will show you your room." Ramon nodded at the two servants around them before he continued his sentence. "There is something I want to discuss with Danny first."

Hearing that, Hailee's face fell. Wasn't it Ramon who should be resting? Wasn't he the one who just got out of the hospital?

"Come over, miss, over here…" a young maid smiled sweetly at Hailee as she stretched out her hand, showing Hailee the way.

And with a heavy heart, Hailee, like it or not, had to follow suit. However, she felt like she was under surveillance as if her every action was being monitored. Or maybe it was just her feeling?

"So?" Ramon asked Danny when they were alone.

"I got all the information about the girl," Danny said, handing him an envelope.
