489: HE CAN SHOOT YOU

HE CAN SHOOT YOU

"Nothing much, I just said that I will see him tomorrow."0

"You are crazy."

"I think so."

"My dad can shoot you when he's really upset."

Jayden actually laughed out loud when he heard this. "Pyro won't shoot me sweetie, I've pissed him off a lot more than this, take it easy."

Apple had no doubts about that, seeing how talented Jayden was at making people mad at him, she knew this man was telling the truth.

Let alone her father, who had worked for the Tordoff family for years, even Apple, who had only been beside Jayden for a few months, felt that every day was a challenge to her patience level every time she was with this man.

"My father would not approve of this relationship."

"Oh!" Jayden let out a surprised sound and this made Apple wary. She felt like she had said the wrong thing, but what?

"What?" Apple asked warily. Her head again tried to remember what words she'd said in the last ten minutes to make Jayden have that kind of reaction.

"You're worried about whether Pyro approves of this relationship or not," Jayden concluded with beaming eyes.

"Yes, so?" Apple asked carefully, still not understanding what Jayden meant.

"You're worried about whether Pyro will agree to this relationship or not, instead of rejecting me outright," Jayden replied, he then rolled his eyes at Apple and laughed as the girl snorted. "Doesn't that mean you have thought of me as your lover, indirectly?"

"In your dreams!" Apple hissed. She was grumbling now, especially when she saw the triumphant smile on Jayden's lips.

"We will go back to your house and meet Pyro, after that we will go to the island where my parents isolated themselves, having their romantic honeymoon."

"What? I'm not going to see your parents," Apple said, her heart racing at the mere thought of it.

"Oh, or do you want my parents to see you?"

"Jayden!" That was much worse. How could she possibly ask someone like Hailee and Ramon Tordoff to meet her?

"I can arrange that." His mother cared more about him ending up in a serious relationship with someone, therefore, it was certain that Hailee wouldn't mind. While for his father, where his mother went, the man would definitely follow.

"Don't mess around," Apple growled warningly, but Jayden couldn't possibly respond, he was too busy with the plans in his own mind.

====================== 

"Hey, shouldn't I be the one nervous about having to meet your father?" Jayden asked as he played on his cell phone, but he was paying enough attention to Apple, who had been fidgeting around a bit.

Right now, the two of them were in the car driving to town A, back home, after the problems in town L were taken care of, at least for now, because Jayden's plan was quite complicated, so he had to execute it more carefully.

"You don't need to see my dad," Apple said.

"Then you can face him alone?" Jayden teased, but his eyes were still focused on the game on his phone screen.

As Apple said, now, Jayden was no longer asking the girl to drive the car. Instead, he arranged someone else as his driver, even though Apple said it casually, without any intention. But Jayden was very attentive to the smallest details.

Therefore, he did not allow Apple to drive him again.

"Of course not," Apple said quickly.

"Then, we will deal with things according to my plan, okay?" Jayden raised an eyebrow, taking a break from the game he was playing, while Apple groaned defeatedly.

"I didn't think you were still playing that outdated snake game," Apple commented on the game Jayden always played. As it turned out it was a very old game. In fact, not many people were playing it anymore.

"Why not? This game is fun," Jayden said, and had now returned to focus on his game again.

"It's up to you..." Apple muttered under her breath, and then tried to calm herself down. She had thought of the worst, but there was no way her father would try to outright kill him, right? So she could calm down a bit with that fact.

=====================     

"Why don't you go in first? I'll catch up in ten minutes," Apple said when they arrived in front of her house. She was afraid to go inside and face her father.

Therefore, Apple suggested that Jayden go in first and accept her father's wrath, while she waited outside for her father's anger to be vented on Jayden and would only go inside when conditions were conducive.

"Oh no, dear Apple..." Jayden grabbed Apple's hand, making sure the girl didn't run away anywhere. "You intend to use me as a bait for your father's wrath?"

Yep. So true! "Of course not, I can't be that bad."

"I can see it in those beautiful eyes of yours, sweety."

Apple growled in annoyance. "You're the one looking for trouble, why don't you face it. As a man, you should be a gentleman."

Jayden raised his eyebrows when he heard that statement. "Shouldn't a gentleman put his girl first in everything?" Jayden asked in a voice that implied a different meaning. "In that case, please… ladies first." He opened the gates to Apple's house for himself.

"Jayden!" Apple cried frantically when she heard the sound of her door being opened and revealing Pyro, standing in the doorway. He appeared to be in good health now and could return to duty at any time.

Ah, that was too bad… even though Apple hoped Pyro wouldn't be too bad… well, it was not that she meant anything bad to her dad… it was just that, in this overly healthy state, he could be pretty awful to deal with…

"What are you guys doing out there, hurry in," Pyro said, his voice cold and devoid of warmth when he said that.

Pyro's figure disappeared behind the door. Apple was curious, was he bringing out his gun to threaten Jayden?

He couldn't be that reckless to threaten Jayden, could he? He wouldn't be that crazy, would he?
