Chapter 184: GIANA'S REGRET (2)
Giana narrowed her eyes when she heard Dillon's statent. "Why can't I do it?" She asked skeptically. "Since he is married, I can't do this to him?" Then ca a wry laugh from Giana as she continued her speech. "Ramon didn't care about my marital status when we were together, so now is the ti for to behave the sa way he used to be." Giana felt her action could be justified.
After explaining all that, Giana pushed Dillon's body that was blocking her way and then ca out of the man's apartnt, without even turning around.
This ti, Dillon did nothing to stop Giana, nor did he offer advice like he had always been doing.
This ti, Dillon allowed Giana to do what she wanted to do and didn't hold her back at all. Maybe this way, Giana would realize that her efforts tend to go in vain and that she wouldn't have another chance to be with Ramon.
The woman seed to have to learn from the most painful ways to understand that things didn't always go the way she wanted them to.
However, Dillon felt that there was sothing strange about his own feelings when he saw the closed door of his apartnt after Giana leaving him alone there…
==============
Lexus deliberately took Hailee toward a group of three n, who were chatting lightly with Theodore and Aileen.
From where Hailee was standing, she could tell that her adoptive sister was feeling uncomfortable, being among these people, because even though her lips were making a sweet smile, her hand was wringing the little bag she was carrying.
And Hailee knew Aileen well enough to say that she wasn't interested in the ongoing conversation and wanted to leave, but of course she couldn't do that.
anwhile, when the three n saw Lexus walking toward them, the three of them imdiately greeted Lexus very intimately.
So, it was certain that the three of them were very close to Lexus, or indeed this man was too easy to get along with the people around him… Hailee was increasingly amazed by Lexus's ability to socialize.
And when Lexus was side by side with Ramon, these two brothers were truly two extraordinary business partners.
Hmm… Hailee couldn't be more proud of herself for being a family mber of the two of them.
Not to ntion, the fact that it was the three n who approached Lexus and not the other way around, it showed that Ramon Tordoff's younger brother had a greater influence than the three n.
And by doing so, Theodore and Aileen were indirectly abandoned, which made them inevitably have to follow the three of them or sit back awkwardly.
"How is it? Isn't it fun going out with ?" Lexus whispered to Hailee in an arrogant tone, seeing how Theodore and Aileen approached them with reluctance evident on the expression of their faces.
anwhile, Hailee only rolled her eyes dramatically when she heard how lexus was boasting, but smiled with satisfaction when Theodore and Aileen had to greet the two of them.
"Oh, this must be Ramon Tordoff's wife, right?" Asked one of the n, called Ryan. The three of them had introduced themselves to Hailee in a very polite manner, just the way she deserved. "I attended your wedding."
"Thank you," said Hailee softly, even though she couldn't rember this man at her wedding which was attended by so many guests.
"I am sure you don't rember ," Ryan laughed as he said this, but there was no derision in his words. Of course, he understood that Hailee didn't rember him at all, because after all they had never t in person before the wedding or this event.
Hailee who was caught in the act of pretending to recognize Ryan, could only laugh and nodded. She appreciate his understanding. "Yes, I don't think I can rember the faces of each and every guest who was present at that ti."
"Hi Hailee, it has been a long ti to see you, why didn't you co ho after your honeymoon event? Have you forgotten your own house?" Aileen greeted Hailee with an unnecessary courtesy, and moved forward to embrace her, showing the two sisters' intimacy in front of these people.
It's just that, what Aileen didn't take into account was the fact that Hailee was not the sa person she used to be.
Therefore, the atmosphere turned even more uncomfortable for Aileen when Hailee blatantly avoided her and said, "Of course I didn't forget. How could I forget the place where I ca from. Maybe it is you, who forgot where you ca from."
The words were spoken in a sweet tone, so that people who were listening casually, would not have thought that Hailee was mocking Aileen.
But, that didn't an the three people missed the cynical tone in Hailee's voice and it was enough to make them faintly frown.
Well, it seed like sothing unpleasant was going on between these two sisters…
"Oh, I almost forgot ..." One of the n, nad Ralph patted his forehead and glanced alternately between Hailee and Aileen. "You two are sisters, right?"
"That's right," Aileen replied, smiling kindly.
"Of course not," Hailee said in a relaxed tone, at almost the sa ti and this made the three n stare at each other with confused eyes. "She is my adoptive sister. My parents took her ho when she was five years old."
For all that Aileen had done to her, Hailee really didn't want to acknowledge herself as a big sister anymore and this must be rectified whenever soone asked about it.
In the past, Hailee would be the first to get angry if soone brought this up, but now Hailee would be the first to clarify with anyone who said they were siblings. Because Hailee didn't want to have an older sister like Aileen.
"Hailee, you shouldn't say that, just because Aileen entered the Tatum family when she was five years old, doesn't an she is not a mber of the Tatum family." Theodore rebuked Hailee in a low voice, because after all, he ca with Aileen and if Hailee deaned his companion like that, then it would be embarrassing for himself too.
However, Theodore did not take Lexus into account. The little brother of Ramon Tordoff could be very cynical if he wanted to.
"Mr. Gevano, you better pay attention to what you say." Lexus' tone sounded firr than ever. "In the Tordoff family, of course we would not think of Aileen as a corefamily mber, maybe this is different from the understanding held in the Gevano family."
Hearing this small dispute, the three people began to notice the disharmony in Hailee and her adopted sister's relationship, and they knew what to say.
"Well, my family will agree with Mr. Tordoff," Ryan said.
"Yes, because blood is thicker than water after all," said Ralph.
"Yes, I agree," Brian, who had been silent all this ti, joined in to agree with the other two n. He didn't want to be on the bad side of the Tordoffs, because this wouldn't be good for their future.
Seeing this, Hailee felt very happy that Lexus played his role very well. Maybe, Hailee should complint this man later and allow himself to be arrogant for a mont or two.
anwhile, on the other hand, Theodore could only bite his tongue, knowing that he had taken a wrong step and was too carried away. If Hailee had known what he knew, surely she would not have said such a thing about Aileen…
However, Theodore could not reveal this either.
"Yes, there is no need to discuss this again, Ms. Aileen also looks uncomfortable if we are still dwelling on the topic of her family matters," Lexus said lightly, breaking the tense atmosphere.
==============
It took about an hour and a half for Giana to reach the city of M, where she got information that Ramon was there.
Of course, Giana had assigned several people to find out where Ramon was and monitor his movents.
Although in fact this did not help much, because he would spend his daily life shuffling between his ho and office only, thus not many place that he would go alone recently.
Therefore, this was a rare opportunity for Giana to find Ramon outside the city and when Hailee was not around too.
She had to make the most of this.
Giana then stepped into the five- story building and headed to the receptionist's desk to ask about Ramon's whereabouts, but of course the information regarding the man's whereabouts was kept secret, so it was not that easy to et Ramon. Just like when Giana went to his office before.
However, of course Giana had predicted this, so it was certain that she had other plans.
Hence, after hearing the receptionist's lie saying that Ramon Tordoff was not there, Giana did not leave imdiately. She returned to her car and started waiting.
It so happened that on that day the parking lot in front of the building's entrance was not too crowded, so Giana could get a good spot to look at the main door, to find out who was going out and entering the building.
Giana recognized Ramon's car which was parked nearby, in a special parking lot for designated to himself, and this was the reason she imdiately knew that the receptionist was not telling the truth.
While waiting, Giana leaned her head against the back of herseat and closed her eyes for a mont, feeling the silence enveloping her while outside the dayti sky had turned cloudy and dark clouds blocked the sunlight.
Giana rembered very well that she had visited this branch office with Ramon once. It was also when they quarreled because Ramon forced herself to divorce Aidan, but at that ti Giana had thousands of considerations that would not have been possible, or it could be said that she did not dare, to take that step.
But, this ti it was different ...
Giana regretted her decision at that ti and now she would do what Ramon asked her to do. In just a matter of weeks, she would be free from her marriage bond with Aidan.
It's just that, the problem was how Giana was going to make Ramon rember herself and also the mories they shared before.
Who would have known that the situation turned out like this for her?
What's more, now that Ramon was married, things would not be as easy as they used to be. This situation would only get more complicated.
However, if this could make Ramon rember everything, then everything Giana was doing right now was worth fighting for.
Because now, she regretted her previous foolishness. Only if she followed what Ramon had said then she wouldn't have to go through all of this…
