Chapter 244: WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEM?

"It's okay, I'm just glad that Ramon has invited me to his house," Margaretha said cheerfully. She had cut her hair short and dyed it dark blue, which would only be visible under the light of the lamp. "So far I've only visited Lis's house, so I'm always curious, how Ramon's house looks like," Margaretha whispered into Hailee's ear while glancing at her husband who was sitting not far from them.

Ramon sat casually on the sofa, he took another half day off to accompany Hailee while she tried on her dress and of course this made Lexus furious.

Because truth be told, it was Lexus who asked Hailee to look for a dress for a corporate event later, but why did he have to end up at the office desk and replace Ramon to lead an internal meeting? The word annoying was not enough to describe Lexus's anger at his brother.

"Then thank you for taking the time to come here," Hailee said politely. She still felt bad that Margaretha had to come to their house, because after all, Hailee still felt awkward to be around Margaretha, as the two of them weren't so close and seldom saw each other.

However, Margaretha just waved her hand casually, "There's no need to say that. Since the fashion show the other day, I'm not too busy." Margaretha then looked at the chart given by her assistant which contained Hailee's body measurements. "Your size still hasn't changed much, but I don't think the guy over there would agree if I gave you a bodycon model." Margaretha glanced at Ramon, while Hailee couldn't help but laugh wryly.

It might have been hard to believe if Hailee hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but Ramon really took this pregnancy seriously, no, he was taking it too seriously.

Every night, Ramon would read at least two or three articles about pregnancy to understand more about their baby's development. It had become part of his daily routine since finding out this news.

Actually Margaretha had brought some dresses with her and asked Hailee to try them on, to see if any fit her, then she just had to adjust the size, but Ramon was not satisfied with the dresses and asked for new ones to be made.

"But you better have to tell Ramon to be more careful not to leave marks like that again, or else I'll have to redesign a dress for you," Margaretha whispered to Hailee, nodding toward her neck.

In order to cover up the red mark on Hailee's neck, she had deliberately parted her hair to cover her neck, but still Margaretha's keen eyes caught the glaring hickey easily.

At that instant, Hailee's face flushed even more and she bit her lip while grimacing. Ugh! Ramon should also have the same mark as this!

This time, Hailee shot her husband a fierce look, but Ramon just smirked, as if he knew what secret chat Margaretha was having with her.

Seeing Hailee's reaction, Margaretha laughed. "You don't have to be shy, I was at your age too. Young people do tend to get carried away."

Young people? Ramon wasn't a teen anymore, alright! His face was still supportive for him to say that he was still in college, but he was already over thirty years old!

"Okay, looks like I got everything I need to cover, you will receive the dress five days before the event," Margaretha said cheerfully.

"Don't you want to have lunch together?" Hailee again offered, even though Margaretha had refused earlier because she already had an appointment to have lunch with her friend.

"Next time I'll come back to have lunch with you guys," Margaretha promised, then she kissed Hailee's cheek while Ramon stood up from the couch.

"I'll walk you out," Ramon said.

"I will accompany you." Hailee walked up to Ramon, but his refusal held her back.

"No, you just stay here," he said, which made Hailee frown in confusion. "Go back to the room."

"It's okay, I…" Hailee was about to protest, but there was something in the way Ramon was looking at her that made her change her words. "Okay."

Of course this did not go unnoticed by Margaretha. "It's fine, no need to escort me," she said lightly, but Ramon ignored her and took a step to his left to give the designer a way.

"Please, over here," said Ramon with the seriousness of someone who had just finished a long meeting with a client.

"Then be careful on the road," Hailee said, holding Margaretha's body and hugging her, then walking in the opposite direction, but every now and then Hailee would turn to look at the back of Ramon, who was walking beside Margaretha to escort her out.

There was something odd about Ramon, but Hailee couldn't point out what it was. Because the way Ramon treated Margaretha was very different from usual. Was there something Ramon wanted to talk about alone with his mother's friend? But what?

The expression on Ramon's face was so serious…

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

"Okay, pass my regards to Lis, she's been hard to contact lately, I guess she still can't really stop working." Margaretha laughed softly remembering her friend who was very workaholic. "Congratulations again on Hailee's pregnancy."

Margaretha had just been informed by Hailee about her pregnancy earlier. She couldn't believe Lis didn't share this happy news with her.

"Who is Leon Dawson?" Ramon paid no heed to Margaretha's previous words, but he immediately asked a question which was his main goal to lead Margaretha to the exit.

"What?" Margaretha stammered and this small gesture caught Ramon's attention. "Who?"

"Leon Dawson," Ramon repeated the name.

"Leon Dawson? I think because his last name is Dawson, he is a member of the Dawson family," Margaretha tried to look calm and innocent in answering the question. "Why are you asking about him? You plan to have a business relationship with the Dawsons?"

Once again Ramon ignored the question. "What is the relationship between Leon Dawson and Lis?"

For a moment, under Ramon's cold gaze, Margaretha was at a loss for words. "What relationship?"

"You know something." And it was a firm statement from Ramon that demanded an explanation.
