Chapter 113: KISS ME
Ramon glanced at Hailee in annoyance as the girl stifled her laughter by covering her mouth, but seeing how Hailee's small shoulders were shaking, he could tell that this girl was really amused by the little mistake Ramon had made.
Really annoying, right?
"You don't seem bored anymore, do you?" Ramon commented, his face still expressionless, but his eyes did not stop staring at Hailee who was now wiping tears from the corner of her eyes.
"No," Hailee said, shaking her head. "Shall we play again?"
"No," Ramon immediately rejected her suggestion and shifted his focus back to Giana, but it seemed like a wrong move, because not long after that, Hailee's smile faded away completely as she frowned hard.
"Okay, I see, you would rather look at your ex than talk to me." Hailee grumbled, folding her arms and stared at Giana with a hostile look for a moment before glancing at Ramon again. "Oh, sorry. You have not broken up, have you? That means she can't be called an ex." Hailee commented fiercely.
And Ramon couldn't find the right words to answer back. He couldn't understand how Hailee, who two seconds ago laughed until she burst into tears, as if whatever happened would not affect her good mood, but in the next moment turned into a girl who was menstruating on the first day.
How could someone change so fast?
"You should pay attention to the program, we shouldn't talk." Ramon said in a low voice.
"Can't talk?" Hailee glared and glanced at the couples around them who were busy whispering to each other and having conversations between them. "So, you can't talk huh?" Hailee asked sarcastically.
Ramon knew what Hailee meant, he also noticed that some of the other invited guests paid little attention to the items being auctioned, if that wasn't what they wanted.
"Okay, maybe you don't want to be disturbed…" Hailee leaned back against the chair and sulked. "Ah, the auctioneer is so pretty… I should be wearing a low- neck outfit like that too… it must look sexy…" she muttered softly, but it was loud enough for Ramon to hear.
Ramon tried to ignore Hailee who was grumbling and refocused on the course of the event, but somehow seeing Hailee in such a bad mood really bothered him.
Maybe it was because of their sitting position that they were too close to each other, so the negative aura Hailee emitting now made Ramon's heart feel not good either.
To get rid of the uncomfortable feeling, Ramon grabbed the mineral water bottle and drank it.
A few minutes ago, a waiter came over to offer a drink, but still hadn't returned with the drink they ordered.
"Maybe I shouldn't be wearing clothes like that… my chest is not as big as hers…" Hailee continued, still in the same low tone, so that only Ramon could hear her. "But, I think she is too fat. The dress looks tight on her body. "
Ramon, who was drinking his mineral water, almost choked when he heard that negative comment from Hailee.
How could Giana look fat in that outfit? Everyone would say that the wife of Aidan Smith has a body that is proportionate at the right curves in her body.
But, of course, it is certain that Ramon will not possibly refute Hailee's comment. He knew better not to make things worse and to annoy this girl even more.
With a grimace, Ramon wiped the corners of his lips and stopped drinking.
"The make- up is also very striking. Doesn't fit the theme of this event." Hailee returned back to commenting, as if she was talking to herself. "And also…"
"Hailee…" Finally Ramon couldn't stand it.
"Yes?" Hailee turned her head, asking with a sweet smile on her lips, as if no one had heard her negative comments earlier. "What is wrong?" she asked innocently.
"You can stop commenting like that, I can hear everything." Ramon looked at Hailee in disbelief, how could she still be smiling when she said her next sentence.
"Indeed, I want you to hear it," Hailee said honestly, her eyes rounded, as if Ramon had just made a very obvious statement.
"Hailee," Ramon said, but discontinued because he didn't know what to say to her, he was completely at a loss for words in dealing with this girl.
Therefore, Ramon stuck out his hands and cupped Hailee's cheeks, but she protested and glared at him half threateningly. "Don't you dare ruin my make- up, just because I was commenting on Giana's make- up, okay."
Once again, Ramon felt that they were both talking on different frequencies, how could Hailee actually talk about make- up, herself and Giana in the same sentence?
She really is a rare girl.
"What do you want?" asked Ramon impatiently. If Hailee wanted to play her stupid game again, Ramon would happily oblige. That was much better than hearing her grumble throughout the event.
"I want two things," Hailee replied quickly. Her eyes were sparkling.
"You really know how to take? advantage of the situation," Ramon grumbled softly, but Hailee ignored him and started to raise two fingers.
"First." She touched her index finger. "I want us to play again."
Ramon had expected that. "Then the second one?"
"Second." Hailee touched her middle finger. "I want you to kiss me."
"What?" Okay, when Ramon thought that Hailee couldn't possibly be any more absurd than this, this girl proved his theory wrong again.
"Yes, kiss me," Hailee said cheerfully, like a little girl asking for an allowance. "A kiss is not a big deal. Mmuach!" Hailee pursed her lips and made a very aggressive kissing sound. "Like that."
"No," Ramon flatly rejected her. "No any body here…"
However, Ramon's sentence was cut short when Hailee moved her head to look around her and find what she was looking for. "There, the couple sitting two rows behind you, are kissing right now. Aw." Hailee gave a low cry.
Hailee's face, which was still in Ramon's hands, was forced to look back at him, making her stop looking around.
"Why do you suddenly want me to kiss you?" Ramon asked curiously. The request was sudden and unreasonable.
But, Hailee answered honestly. "Because Giana was looking at you every now and then, and I don't like it. She must know that you will marry me and your relationship ended when you decided to marry me." Hailee didn't give Ramon a chance to cut her words off and started again. "Unless you really still want to have a relationship with her, then we should have serious discussions regarding this marriage agreement."
Ramon was not aware of it, he knew that Giana had been staring at him all along, but what he didn't realize was; the fact that Hailee really took issue to heart.
Therefore, Ramon leaned over and kissed Hailee on the lips gently. "Satisfied?" he asked.
With a different woman, maybe Ramon would not have complied with this ridiculous request, but seeing Hailee frown made him uncomfortable.
After kissing Hailee, Ramon lowered his hand, but this time, it was Hailee who gave him a short kiss on the lips.
"Satisfied," she replied with a big smile, Ramon even saw Hailee glancing provocatively at Giana.
And when their eyes met, Hailee might have caught Giana staring at them, which made the woman look away and clear her throat to cover her irritation.
This girl ...
How could she went so sweet, fierce and then provocative in a matter of seconds?
At this point, Ramon couldn't decide whether he had made the right decision by marrying Hailee or not, with her attitude like this, Ramon had the feeling that there would be other problems she would cause.
However, seeing Hailee's satisfied face when she managed to annoy Giana, made Ramon smile too.
"Let's start the game!" Hailee hugged Ramon's arm and leaned closer to him. "If you lose, you have to buy me a box of chocolates."
"How about I buy you as much chocolate as you want and we don't have to play this game?" Ramon suggested. If it's the chocolate Hailee wanted then he could give her plenty.
But, of course Hailee wouldn't make things easy for Ramon, as if her initial existence was to test the patience of this man over and over again.
"No, that is not the rule Mr. Tordoff. " Hailee refused, then grinned sweetly. "Okay, let's start."

"Where have you been? It's very late at night," Theodore asked when he saw Aileen just arriving home. He frowned and looked at her probingly.
However, Theodore's expression was currently being misinterpreted by Aileen as himself who was worried about her condition, because after all what Theodore knew was that she was pregnant with their child.
Aileen immediately walked over to Theodore with a smile on her face and hugged him indulgently, while landing a kiss on each cheek.
"Sorry, I just came back from hanging out with my friends." Aileen lied. "It has been a long time since I saw them."
"Oh," Theodore gave a short response while kissing Aileen on the cheek and the two of them walked to the second floor, to her bedroom.
"I also informed them of our engagement plans which will take place one month from now. I really can't wait for that moment." Aileen hugged Theodore's arm with a beaming face.
Seeing Aileen like this, made Theodore feel very heavy to convey his main purpose in coming to Tatum's residence, he was a little confused where to start.
However, Aileen who was quite sensitive to Theodore's mood changes, of course realized this. She then looked up and looked at the man next to her.
"What is wrong?" Her forehead wrinkled warily at the sight of Theodore's unpredictable expression. "Is there a problem?"
"We will talk in the room," he said.
And Aileen knew that there was something wrong with the conversation they were going to have after this.
Theodore arrived in the middle of the night just to have a serious talk with her, of course not a very good sign, and when they reached the second floor Theodore immediately went into Aileen's room and sat on the edge of her Victorian bed.
"What is wrong?" Aileen asked softly, looking at him worriedly while grasping Theodore's hand. The man looked doubtful, but Aileen continued to force him to speak. "You know that you can discuss anything with me, right?"
Theodore was still silent, but he grasped Aileen's hand tighter in return.
"Is this about our baby?" Aileen tried to guess and she knew that was the topic Theodore was going to talk about when she saw him looking at her right in the eyes. "Tell me, what is wrong?"
With a long sigh, Theodore then spoke. "I can not."
