Chapter 222: AILEEN'S WEDDING DAY (3)
eting Giana at Aileen's wedding was sothing Hailee never expected.
She never thought that Giana would attend the wedding, because she knew Aileen and Giana weren't that close to the point of visiting each other, but as it turned out, this was where the woman was, chatting very intimately with her adopted sister.
What were the two won really talking about? Hailee didn't understand how the two of them ca to know each other. Maybe on her wedding day with Ramon? But, Giana was not the type of woman who would get along with anyone, especially soone she just t, without thinking about profit.
And again, this ti it didn't seem like Giana was trying to get close to Ramon. She seed more self- aware about her surroundings and the damaging news that was hitting her.
Good thing, this woman still had a sane side to herself, and could still think straight, so Hailee didn't have to worry about her at a ti like this.
"Hailee, co with ," said Zia suddenly.
"Eh?" Hailee, who was engrossed with her own thoughts, seed to have missed what happened. "Sorry, I didn't hear what you just said. Co again?" Hailee asked, trying to regain her concentration.
"Father called and I don't want to go alone," Zia said in a low voice. She didn't understand why she felt this way, but it was really hard to just pass by Giana and Aileen, even if it was only for a few seconds.
Zia was quite surprised when she saw Giana there. What did the woman want? And moreover what was she talking about with Aileen? All this bothered her and made her feel uncomfortable. If possible, Zia wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but that was sothing she couldn't possibly do.
"Accompany you?" Hailee frowned in confusion. "Why?" She had never seen Zia so insecure. She looked restless for a reason Hailee didn't know.
"That…" Zia looked deep in thought. "You haven't told my father directly about your pregnancy, he'll want to hear it from you directly."
Hailee raised her eyebrows questioningly. What strange reason was that? But, seeing how restless Zia was, she didn't ask and just agreed.
Speaking of pregnancy, Hailee hadn't told this to Lis either since she couldn't be reached. Where exactly was Lisa? She was gone for days now...
"Oh okay. Let's go see Uncle Diego," Hailee said with a cheerful smile, but before that, she approached Ramon to say where she was going. "I'll keep an eye on you. If that woman cos up to you and you seem happy to respond to whatever she says, don't expect to talk to you again," Hailee said threateningly.
Of course, they both knew who 'that woman' Hailee was referring to. Ramon had also seen Giana and was quite curious about what she was doing there.
"Why? You are jealous?" Ramon asked playfully, his hand reached out to brush the few baby hair around Hailee's frowning face. "You look so pretty when you're jealous."
"Don't praise for unreasonable reasons," Hailee said firmly. "I'm always beautiful no matter what."
And Hailee's confident last statent made Ramon laugh when he heard her. He really liked how Hailee always seed brave enough to say what exactly she was thinking.
"Hmm, I guess you're right." Ramon then kissed Hailee's forehead gently. "Go, I'll pay attention to you too, lest you talk to other n and look happy, because I won't respond well." Ramon reversed his wife's words from earlier and this ti Hailee laughed.
"Hey, you two, can the whispering be continued later?" Zia rebuked the two impatiently.
Hailee's smile grew wider when she heard what Zia said, she then ca closer to her cousin and took her hand. "Co on."
The wedding was held outdoors, so when the sun was about to set on the western horizon, the lights started to turn on to illuminate the venue.
And although not many people attended because the wedding was very private and took place at the Gevano family's residence, it could be said that the event went smoothly and for the first ti Mrs. Gevano didn't make a fuss with Aileen, although you could say she wasn't sweet to her either.
Every guest there seed to be enjoying the event with a smile of formality on their lips, because it was inevitable that this kind of wedding would beco a byword for people in the future. Especially because the Gevano family was one of the most respected families in the city.
However, not everyone could show a perfect fake smile. Just like Zia, who couldn't hide her anxiety at all. Especially when she walked past Giana and Aileen on her way to her father.
"So this is the 'woman'," said Giana as Zia walked past her, deliberately emphasizing the word 'woman' in her sentence, so that Zia could hear it. "I didn't expect that she ca from a prominent family too. I wonder how her family will react when they find out about this."
Zia's body stiffened when she heard that. She imdiately knew who Giana was referring to. So, Aidan's wife had found out? Did she know that Zia was the woman who had an affair with her husband?
On the other hand, Hailee could feel Zia's body stiffening before the latter trembled a little. She looked confusedly at her cousin.
Infidelity? Hailee didn't understand what Giana was saying, but she had a feeling that this woman was talking about Zia.
"Beautiful, but it's a sha to have no pride at all," Giana said in a louder voice so that several people could hear her as they turned their attention to Giana.
For unknown reasons and maybe Zia would regret this later, but she stopped in her tracks and turned her body so she could face Giana.
anwhile, Hailee was still trying to digest the situation. What really happened? While she was still guessing, Zia started to say.
"Why? You ca here to cry over your separation from your husband and bla ?" she asked in a low voice that only the four of them could hear.
