Chapter 70: I CHOOSE THE RIGHT HUSBAND!

Hailee finished heating the chicken casserole that she cooked a few hours ago and served it in two plates of which she pushed one toward Ramon and took one to herself.

Instead of having a romantic dinner on the patio, near the back garden with candles, they sat on the high chairs of the counter with two plates of casserole and two glasses of orange juice.

Ugh!

This was completely far from Hailee's imagination regarding the romantic dinner she had planned. Lexus really ruined her date night!

"I hope the taste doesn't change," said Hailee, sitting on the high stool opposite Ramon. After tasting it and it still tasted good, she nodded at Ramon. "Still delicious."

Hailee rarely ate warmed food when she was at home or ate the same food that day, so Ramon must have had similar habits.

After seeing Hailee eat her food without a problem, Ramon tasted the chicken casserole in front of him.

"Ramon," Hailee called out, spooning her food again. "Regarding Roland Dimatrio…" Hailee's words hung and she hoped Ramon would finish the sentence, because this man must have known what she wanted to ask, right?

However, it seemed that Ramon was not at all interested in the topic Hailee brought up and chose to eat his food.

Ramon had to admit that Hailee's cooking fit his tongue perfectly, moreover, it was a warm feeling knowing that someone was waiting for him to come home and cook something for him.

These were little things that Ramon didn't realize when he wasn't with Hailee, but when this girl came around, it seemed like Ramon was starting to realize that trivial things like this could bring comfort too.

"About Roland Dimatrio," Hailee repeated her words again. "Did you do all that? You know, corruption cases are on the news right now. Lexus says Central Bank is under the Tordoff family, which means you, in a sense, took part in the uncovering of the mega project case… "

The case was so big and it was certain that Ramon knew about it too, but considering that it was only yesterday that Hailee had met Roland Dimatrio and there were no rumors of this horrendous case, it was hard to believe it was just a coincidence.

"Yes," replied Ramon curtly.

Right, right ...

Hailee was expecting it, it's just that hearing Ramon say this right away, still stunned her.

"Did you do that because of what he did to me?" Hailee asked carefully, she didn't want to let her hopes soar too high, but still if Ramon said 'yes' it would make her absurdly happy.

How come Ramon made such a big fuss because of her? Of course Hailee was flattered.

On the other hand, Ramon didn't answer right away, he lifted his head and looked at Hailee with calculating eyes, before he said, "Partly."

Partly, huh? What's with this answer? Still, Hailee was happy and she jumped down from her high stool and walked over to Ramon. Hugging the man's neck so that he had to duck and hold his position so that he did not fall.

"What are you doing?" Ramon's forehead creased, he gripped the edge of the counter tightly so he wouldn't fall on top of Hailee who didn't seem to care.

In truth, what Ramon said was his honest answer; half the reason for doing this was because Roland Dimitrio dared to kidnap Hailee even though he knew that this girl was going to marry him, which meant that the old attorney should have thought it out a hundred times before carrying out his plan.

Ramon thought what he had done at the press conference that time by announcing their marriage was enough of a warning to people like Roland Dimatrio and Aileen to take stupid actions against Hailee.

However, the reality proved otherwise. They weren't smart enough to see the warning in Ramon's message.

And, the other reasons were; in this way he could pave the way to get what he wanted more easily, namely; Tatum family company.

Ramon had his own way of paving his way to reach his goal.

"Thank you!" Hailee exclaimed happily, she then kissed Ramon on the cheek twice and hugged him again.

Hailee's cheerful attitude, somehow made Ramon smile along with her.

"How did it feel?" Ramon asked, hugging Hailee's petite body with one hand. "It's a lot more fun than throwing a punch or two, isn't it?"

Hearing Ramon's words, Hailee laughed loudly. "It's so much better!"

Hailee remembered her words expressing disappointment that Ramon did nothing after taking her away from Roland Dimatrio's house yesterday, even though this man was well aware that it was the district attorney's order.

But, seeing how Ramon retaliated against Roland, it felt much better indeed!

Ramon not only destroyed his reputation but also the man's career. That being said, the district attorney would not be able to bother Hailee again, nor would he dare approach her.

"I did not choose the wrong husband!" said Hailee proudly.

Hearing that, the smile on Ramon's lips faded slightly.

Wait, since when did Hailee choose him? Wasn't it the opposite?

This girl...

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

After dinner, Ramon and Hailee chatted briefly about matters that have nothing to do with Roland Dimatrio or the rest of Hailee's family.

They were trying to get to know each other before getting to the more serious stage.

Although these questions were all dominated by Hailee and tend to be very trivial matters, Ramon still answered them.

"That's enough for tonight," said Ramon, cutting off Hailee who wanted to ask if Ramon had a favorite song. "It's late, I have a meeting out of town tomorrow."

Hearing that, Hailee gasped. "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Hailee asked, feeling disappointed. "How many days will you be gone? We're going to my house this weekend," she reminded.

Hailee was already planning to visit her family four days from now and was about to tell Ramon and Danny her plans so he could adjust Ramon's schedule.

"Only one day," said Ramon. "I'll be back by tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh," Hailee muttered, suddenly feeling lonely because she wouldn't see Ramon for one whole day until tomorrow afternoon again. "You have to buy me another cell phone."

"Why?" Ramon raised an eyebrow. "So you can call your best friend when I'm not around?" he asked in a light tone.

Hearing that, Hailee frowned. "Of course so I can call you."
