Chapter 226: SECRET

"Hailee!" A woman's voice was heard calling her name as soon as Hailee and Ramon got out of their car.

The journey back to town A was tiring, but Hailee had enough time to take a refreshing nap in the car after Ramon shared how he felt about Giana.

"Mother?" Hailee smiled when she saw Lis who was walking in a hurry to greet her. "I can't reach you for the past few days."

"Oh yeah… I'm in a place where it is difficult to get a signal," Lis said and because her focus was on Hailee, she missed the meaningful look her son gave her. "I just heard the news of your pregnancy!"

"Ah, that…" Hailee lowered her head, she couldn't bear to look at Lis when the still beautiful middle-aged woman said it in a quite loud voice. "Yeah… we just found out about it."

"I didn't expect to become a grandmother so soon," Lis complained, but from the look in her eyes, she looked very happy to hear the news.

Admittedly, Lis looked too young to be called grandma… hmm, Hailee thought people like Lis took extra care to maintain their appearance.

"At the next examination, I will go with you," Lis said enthusiastically. "And you." This time her attention was on Ramon. "You don't look happy to see your mother back? Don't just stand there, come here, because there's a lot I want to tell you as a father-to-be."

And with that, they listened to Lis' advice for the next two hours about the story of her first pregnancy with Ramon and everything Hailee needed to know.

At this point, everything seemed perfectly normal, as if nothing complicated was waiting for them, and had Ramon not seen Lis at that hotel with a man from the Smith family, maybe Ramon wouldn't have a suspicious thought about her.

But no. He had seen Lis with the man named Leon and things didn't look the same, or even simple for that matter. Even the smile and laughter that Lis was showing right now felt fake.

There were many things bothering Ramon and this kept him from focusing on the conversation between Hailee and Lis.

What was the secret hidden in the four years he had forgotten? This situation started to get on his nerves… Ramon sensed that danger was lurking, but he didn't know where it was coming from…

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

…I'm not sure if it involves any serious feelings.

Those words kept ringing in Hailee's ears and made her heart feel warm. The incident during Aileen's wedding where she had to meet with Giana, was forgotten a little. Or, you could say that it didn't really bother Hailee.

Luckily Giana was in her right mind and wasn't looking to start a fuss with Hailee, nor was the shameless woman trying to get close to Ramon.

But, something else was bothering Hailee right now, namely the fact that Zia had an affair with Aidan. This was something Hailee didn't expect at all. Hailee wouldn't dare imagine such a sudden turn of events even in her wildest imaginations.

Hailee should talk to Zia about it. How far was their relationship and did Giana and Aidan's divorce have anything to do with their cousin? This unexpected information really bothered Hailee.

"What are you thinking about?" Ramon asked in a soft voice, he was holding his wife while playing with her long hair in their quiet bedroom. "Your forehead is furrowed."

"I had a conversation with Giana earlier," Hailee started, she looked up so she could see her husband's face more clearly, while Ramon pulled the blanket around her. "Giana said something totally unexpected."

"What is that? Something about me?" asked Ramon. He din't know when this started, but he didn't like it when things bothered Hailee.

"No." Hailee shook her head, she liked it when Ramon touched her hair. His habit whenever they were close. "It's about Aidan."

"Aidan Smith?" Ramon still couldn't figure out why they were talking about Aidan Smith.

"Actually, it's not about me, but Zia," Hailee seemed hesitant to say this. "Giana said that Zia had an affair with Aidan and their relationship has been going on for quite some time."

Ramon didn't seem surprised when he heard this and this made Hailee wonder because she didn't get the reaction she had imagined.

"Don't get involved in other people's problems," said Ramon at last after a moment of silence. "There's no need to ask about it further."

"Zia isn't someone else," Hailee protested. "She's my cousin."

"She may be your cousin, but she has her own life. There is no need to investigate this further, because whatever you will find out later, will not please you in any way." Ramon gave his gaze.

"But, I want to know why she did that," Hailee insisted.

"Then, what are you going to do once you find out?" Ramon asked. At this point, he knew Hailee enough to know what she was thinking and Ramon didn't want Hailee to be involved in something that was none of her business, even though Zia was her cousin.

"I don't know," Hailee answered quietly. "But, at least I want to know why she did that."

"Hailee," Ramon called her name quietly, but demanded more attention from her. "I don't want you to get involved with your family too much. There's something I want you to see regarding the reports of the deaths of your parents that I managed to investigate."

Hearing that, Hailee was about to sit up and get off the bed, forcing Ramon to show it to her right now.

Ramon didn't say anything about the outcome of the information he had investigated so far, so for Ramon to say it now, this must be an important matter.

However, Ramon held Hailee's body back, preventing her from moving and hugged her a little tighter.

"Tomorrow," he whispered. "I will show you the report tomorrow. For now, I want you to rest.'

But, how could Hailee sleep peacefully after knowing this? Waiting until tomorrow was a very hard thing for Hailee.

"You can't expect me to sleep well now. Not after what you said," Hailee said in a trembling voice. "I want to know what you got. I don't want to wait until tomorrow."
