PHOTOS

After Apple finished expressing her willingness to come to the agency's photo shoot, she heard their bell ringing, followed by a knock on the door.2

Whoever came to her house right then must be very impatient to be able to meet her.

Apple immediately came out of her room and opened the front door and how surprised she was when she found Hailee Tordoff standing in front of her smiling very sweetly and greeting her cheerfully.

"Mrs. Tordoff?" Apple said in surprise and blinked a few times. She would have never thought that Hailee Tordoff would come to her house, especially seeing her current appearance.

Ugh! She really is very messy right now. Apple's messy appearance is usually only shown to her father. She wouldn't even step out of the house in this appearance, let alone meet someone else, such as Jayden's mother.

Apple really was about to kick herself when she saw her own reflection.

"Apple!" Hailee immediately hugged her. "Let's go shopping!" Hailee exclaimed matter- of- factly, but then she frowned. "You are such a mess."

Hearing that, Apple felt like she wanted the earth to split open and swallow her up without any trace. How can one handle comments like that? Apple just wanted to run away.

But, it seemed Hailee didn't think too much about that, she just wanted to get out of there and start shopping with her future daughter-in-law.

"Now go to your room, shower and change, we are going shopping," Hailee said cheerfully, pushing Apple into the house and coaxing her to change clothes quickly. She didn't want to waste the time she could spend shopping with this girl.

On the other hand, Apple didn't have much choice but to comply with Hailee's wishes and started walking back into her room to shower and change.

She didn't know what to wear, because to be honest, she didn't have a collection of expensive clothes like Hailee, so she took the best clothes she could find, because she didn't want to embarrass Mrs. Tordoff.

It took about fifteen minutes for Apple to finally come out of the room, looking much more presentable than earlier and at that moment, Hailee was looking at a photo album in the living room.

The photo album is not hidden and can be seen by anyone, but since not many people come to this house, it is not a problem.

However, as Hailee flipped through the photos, Apple panicked. For some reason, she felt the urge to hide those childhood photos, because she felt herself always making silly expressions when photographed.

"Mrs. Tordoff," Apple said quietly, trying to get her attention away from the photos. "We can go now."

However, it seemed that Hailee's passion for shopping faded a bit when she saw something that piqued her interest even more.

"Wait a minute, I still want to see these photos," Hailee said cheerfully. She then returned to being busy looking at the photos. "Has Jayden seen these photos?" she asked.

Apple shook her head. Jayden doesn't seem to be as thorough as his mother at discovering things.

"Look, it is you and Jayden when there was a birthday party at the Tordoff residence," Hailee said, showing one of the photos in the album.

Hailee's words made Apple move closer to get a better look, because she didn't even notice that there was a photo of the two of them there.

But, it turned out to be true. There, in one of the photos, was a photo of herself when she was two years old with a boy around eight or nine years old, looking annoyed at the camera.

Looks like Jayden was in a bad mood when the photo was taken.

"Ah, if I knew you two would be together like this, I should have taken more photos of the two of you when you were little," Hailee muttered, it looked like she adored the photo so much.

Meanwhile, Apple could only grimace when hearing this.

And after sharing a few nostalgic stories about the photo and Hailee managed to find one more photo that captured the moment when Apple and Jayden were together, they finally left the house to head to the shopping center.

"Mrs. Tordoff, may I ask, why you are taking me shopping?" Apple asked, she still remembered the shopping experience with Hailee Tordoff that ended with herself being 'kidnapped' by her to force Jayden to come home.

Hopefully this time it will not end as dramatically as that time.

"Hasn't Jayden told you you were invited to the Tordoffs' party?" Hailee asked in confusion.

"Oh, yeah, Jayden told me about that," Apple said sheepishly. Hailee was so beautiful, she could even be said to look more like an older sister to Jayden than a mother. It is certain that, with wealth like that of the Tordoffs, you can keep your youth longer than the average woman.

"Then, have you found a suitable ball gown?" Hailee asked again. She looked excited.

"Jayden said he'd pick it up."

Hearing this answer, Hailee waved her hand and made a face. "He doesn't know women's taste."

Apple Grimaced. She doubted that. She felt Hailee was just looking for an excuse to be able to go shopping with her instead.

"Don't worry, I'll find you a dress that will glue all eyes to you," Hailee said cheerfully and proudly.

And that's the last thing Apple wants. She didn't want to be the center of attention.

And just at that moment, Hailee's cell phone rang, they were still halfway to the shopping mall.

"I brought Apple for shopping, so don't bother us." Those were the first words Hailee said when she picked up the phone.

Needless to say, Apple could have guessed for sure who was on the other end of the phone, but then Hailee started to say smugly.

"Have you seen the photos of Apple as a child?" Hailee asked cheerfully. "Oh, she's so adorable. I just saw it," Hailee gushed exaggeratedly.
