Chapter 90: AILEEN AND THEODORE

"You should have proposed to me first. Something like; getting on one knee," Hailee commented casually, wrapping her hand around Ramon's arm.

Hailee looked cute when doing that and they both would look like a couple who have indeed been dating for two years and were getting married, because it was based on love for each other.

Well, even though the reality is the opposite, but who could have guessed that the two of them could be so affectionate?

"In your dreams," Ramon said sadistically, but accompanied by his handsome smile, which seemed to cushion the affect of his words on Hailee.

"Ah, I want to get a proposal like that too. With balloons and flowers, with fur elise on the background, then you say; will you marry me?" Hailee started fantasizing and Ramon just listened, completely uninterested. Get on one knee? Balloons? Song? That was simply not his thing. "How romantic…" Hailee sighed. "Don't you want it?"

"No," Ramon replied curtly, which made Hailee grumble softly when she heard him. "And if you knew the history of fur elise, then you wouldn't ask that song as the background for your dream proposal."

Hailee didn't really know about the history of music and the likes. "So what?" she cocked her head in confusion.

Ramon had guessed that Hailee didn't know this at all. "If you don't know, find out for yourself, this will be a homework for you."

Hailee frowned, but she's going to find out what was the story behind Ludwig Bethoveen's music, because she thought that it sounded pretty good, but for now, she had to convey the concept of marriage that both of them must agree on.

"Hey, if we have to spend our whole life together, it would be better if we make this relationship more fun, right?" Hailee suggested.

"I like this way," said Ramon.

They have now entered the biggest mall in T city, lined with well-known tenants on the left and right.

"Being happy is not enough." Hailee tugged at Ramon's hand, asking the man's attention, only after he looked her in the eye, did Hailee continue her words. "We may fall in love with each other later, then our domestic life will be much more enjoyable. Right?"

For a moment Ramon didn't answer Hailee, he just stared into those sparkling eyes silently.

Until finally Hailee got tired of smiling and decided not to talk about it anymore, but that's when Ramon opened his mouth.

"I don't do love," he said briefly and very clearly.

"Liar," Hailee snapped. "You were in a relationship with that woman for two years. If you don't love her, there's no way you guys can last that long."

"I don't remember," Ramon replied indifferently.

"Then what if you remember her after we got married?" now Hailee turned serious.

Ramon stopped walking and faced Hailee, noticing the worry in her eyes, he decided it was best to soften his words to make this girl stop worrying first.

"I don't know what happens when my memory returns, but if you can make me love you, why should I remember my old relationship?" asked Ramon.

"Love needs cooperation from both parties, if I was the only one who was trying, the results would not be optimal."

============== 

Giana looked at her husband who was preparing to go out again, with a look that was difficult to interpret.

Aidan would spend all day at the office, but when he got home, he would leave again and Giana knew where her husband was going every single day.

"Can't you stay at home for one night? People are starting to notice that something is wrong with our relationship,"Giana growled in frustration.

She didn't care if Aidan would go to another woman's arms, but what Giana was worried about was the views of the people out there who started gossiping about her marriage life. Especially when Giana didn't get pregnant after three years of their marriage.

Aidan sighed heavily and turned to face Giana. "I don't care what they say, so should you."

Hearing this, Giana rose from the couch beside the balcony of their room and grabbed Aidan by the collar roughly, pulling him down so that the man had to bend his head and their eyes were at the same level.

"Look Aidan, I don't care if you want to go into the arms of your little b*tch every night." Giana's voice was only a hiss full of anger. "But, do it secretly! I don't care about you or your relationship with that wh*re! But, I care about my family's reputation and good name!"

Aidan clenched his jaw tightly when he heard Giana cursing at his girlfriend, but didn't say anything because he knew this relationship was hurting the woman, who was known as his wife to the public.

"Do it quietly as if I don't know!" Giana shouted that last sentence, gritting her teeth to hold back the tears that threatened to spill out.

Aidan then grabbed the hand that was gripping his shirt collar and let go of Giana's hand in one hard beat.

"I have a meeting outside the city and won't be back for three days," he said coldly as he tidied his clothes and immediately walked out of the door, leaving his wife alone in the luxurious room, proof of their wealth, but also a silent witness to the kind of married life what the two of them were going through.

============== 

"Hey, since when were they here?" Hailee stood on tiptoes so she could whisper into Ramon's ear and the man looked at the girl next to him with a questioning look, not understanding what Hailee meant. "They." Hailee pointed to one of the men following them from a distance.

Hailee was no stranger to the three faces of men following them because those people were Ramon's bodyguards, but Hailee didn't remember them being followed to this mall.

"They were here from the start," Ramon answered casually, as he stepped into the Blue Sea jewelry store, and was greeted with the kind smile of a woman who opened the door for them.

"Aren't you tired of being followed by them all the time?" complained Hailee who glanced back at the three men waiting outside this store.

"Just ignore them," replied Ramon, it was obvious that he was already used to this situation which Hailee found odd and uncomfortable.

However, Hailee didn't need to be told a second time, because now something else caught the girl's attention, making her completely forget about the bodyguards out there.

Inside this jewelry store, she found Aileen and Theodore, who had just stepped out of one of the rooms.
