651: UNEXPECTED GUEST (2)

UNEXPECTED GUEST (2)

"How about we have a drink to celebrate this evening?" Gladys asked enthusiastically.2

"Oh, I don't think I can leave my father." Apple immediately rejected her because she could not possibly leave her father alone in this condition.

But, Gladys then waved her hand.

"We don't need to go to the bar, we can just have our drinks delivered here. The three of us." Gladys suggested it. "We haven't had a drink in a long time, haven't we? It'll be fun tonight."

"No," Jayden refused, this time the man entered the kitchen and immediately took the towel in Gladys' hand and pushed her away so that he could assist Apple by drying the plates instead.

Needless to say, Gladys didn't do a great job, so Jayden took over.

"No. She can't drink," Jayden said in a firm voice.

"Why not?" asked Galdys childishly. "She's a grown woman who can do anything," she grumbled.

"Because you should already know what she looks like when she got drunk," Jayden warned her.

"Oh, you're talking about how she was when we were on the island?" asked Gladys with a smile on her face. She smiled cheerfully as she recalled the incident. "I think she's really cool!"

On the other hand, Apple raised both hands and laughed at Gladys. "See? I'm so cool, you're exaggerating," she told Jayden.

"No, no, she can't drink." Jayden denied this request very firmly and after that he put the towel back and pulled her out of the kitchen. "Don't interfere with my and Apple's work. You wait in the living room."

"What? I'm interrupting?" Gladys grumbled disapprovingly, but then she sat down next to Pyro who was watching football. "Pyro, are you sure you want to accept him as your son in law?" asked Gladys grumpily.

Pyro who heard this smiled and then laughed.

"He is a brat!" Gladys hissed at Pyro. "You should think about it again."

But, from inside the kitchen, Jayden shouted, as if he could hear what Gladys was saying when she was badmouthing him.

"Don't you dare incite him!" Jayden exclaimed in annoyance. "I'll tell your parents when you go to the island to party later."

Hearing this, Gladys stiffened, she stared at the kitchen with a sharp gaze, as if she could see Jayden there. "How did he know about it?"

Gladys didn't say anything when she would go with her friends to the island and no one should know about it because her parents wouldn't allow her to go that far to party.

Yes, Gladys was a little too spoiled by her parents...

"Is he some kind of psychic? How did he know about it?" asked Gladys with a frown on her face. She also grumbled, cursing under her breath, which Jayden rebuked her for. "Ugh! He sucks. Good luck making him your son in law."

Pyro laughed when he heard that and leaned his body to whisper to her. "Yes, I need more than just luck to be able to live my old days in peace."

========================   

After nightfall, Gladys still didn't want to go home, and still wanted to hang out with Apple.

And not only did this make Apple's house even busier than usual, it also made her feel a lot more alive.

How come? Jayden and Gladys kept bickering with each other, trying to kick each other out of the house, even though this wasn't their home at all.

This could only make Apple and Pyro shake their heads.

"If you two don't stop fighting, I'm going to kick you both out of this house right now," Apple threatened which immediately made both of them speechless. "I didn't expect that you two were actually adults, I feel that you are thirteen year old teenagers."

Meanwhile, Pyro calmly ate the dessert that Jayden bought, after finishing the dessert that Gladys bought this afternoon.

"Father, you'd better go to sleep after you finish the dessert," said Apple firmly. "You need rest."

Apple had already given Pyro his medicines after dinner.

"Okay," Pyro said quietly, because he didn't want to provoke the girl further and annoy her even more. Who knew what she would do then?

After that, about half an hour passed a bit calmer because Gladys and Jayden finally toned down their bickering, but then they both were at it again because they wanted to watch different television broadcasts.

"No, I want to watch a drama. I can't miss that," Gladys exclaimed, grabbing the remote for the television, but Jayden held it high so the girl couldn't reach it, because he wanted to watch a football game.

"You can watch the drama streaming."

"You can go back to your house and watch that stupid ball game at your house too."

"Then why don't you just go back to your house? You have more than one television there."

"Jayden, aren't you ashamed? You have far more televisions than I do!" replied Gladys not wanting to lose.

While Apple could only facepalm herself. I am sorry, I only have one television.

"Hey, why don't you guys go back to your respective homes and watch whatever you want more comfortably?" Apple suggested to them both. At this point, she really wanted to kick them both out of this house.

"No," Gladys and Jayden answered almost at the same time.

Apple was just about to lash out at the two of them, but, before she could, they heard the doorbell ring again and Apple immediately went to see who it was.

What a surprise when she saw the figure of this man standing in her doorway at this hour, for he was the last person she expected to come and visit them.

"You?!" Apple exclaimed when she saw their guest.

"What is it? You don't feel happy to see me here?" Misha frowned when she saw Apple's reaction.

"Yeah, you're the last person I thought would ever come to my house," Apple muttered, while inside, Jayden and Gladys could still be heard arguing.

"Looks like you guys are having fun."

Having fun, my ass!
