711: WHERE IS MY PHONE?

WHERE IS MY PHONE?

Apple didn't think that Jayden would prepare this kind of surprise for her. She seemed very surprised because Jayden should know by now that Apple was not very fond of such things, but he ignored it and did it anyway.1

However, Apple couldn't help but see how happy Jayden looked with the preparations he worked hard for now. He puffed out his chest proudly and smiled so widely, she couldn't help but shake her head.

Before her, she could see a sprinkling of red rose petals that filled the room. Apple suspected that Jayden had done far more fantastic decorations to their bedroom, seeing what he had done in the main room.

Not only roses, Jayden also lit candles on either side of the doorway, forming a path. Apple was worried that the candles might grab something and cause a fire while they were on the highest floor of the building.

"So? You're touched, aren't you?" Jayden asked proudly.

"Oh, I can't believe this at all," Apple muttered.

"Why not? Don't you know how romantic your future husband is?" Jayden smirked and she couldn't help but laugh and give her honest comments on Jayden's efforts.

"No, this is cheesy." Above them, there were many decorations, all of which were flower-themed and Apple felt she was in the wrong room, and entered something like a garden instead. "So, who gave you this crazy idea?" asked Apple, turning to face Jayden.

Oh, this guy was really clueless about this kind of problem.

"This… this…" Jayden stuttered. "Don't you like it?" He felt that Apple's reaction was not at all what he expected.

"Answer my question first, where did you get this idea? Who gave you this idea?" asked Apple again.

By now, she knew Jayden enough to say that this was not something Jayden would do and therefore, she could say with certainty that Jayden was not the one behind this romantic idea.

"Was it Misha?" asked Apple, squinting, but then she shook her head impatiently. "No, I don't think he had any ideas like this either. Then… was it Adrian?"

"Yes," Jayden answered in a very low voice and this made Apple sigh. She had expected that this kind of idea would come from that man. "Don't you like it?"

Apple wanted to say directly that she didn't like these kinds of things, but seeing how hard Jayden was trying to please her, she then looked for better words to say to this clueless husband-to-be of hers.

"Listen," Apple said softly, then she put her palms on either side of Jayden's face and looked deeply at him. "I'm sure that you know me much better than Adrian, then you must know better what I like, right?"

Right.

At first, Jayden too felt that this idea was a little absurd. He knew that Apple didn't really like this kind of stuff, but then Adrian said that these kinds of things were liked by many women and he had to step out of his comfort zone every now and then, therefore, Jayden prepared this.

But, if he had trusted himself more from the start, then he wouldn't be in this kind of awkward position, would he?

"Should I fire Adrian?" Jayden said annoyed and this made Apple laugh happily. She seemed more pleased to see Jayden upset than to see this romantic surprise.

"There's no need to fire him, you can suspend him if you want, looks like he's working too hard so something is wrong with his brain," said Apple cheerfully. She didn't seem to mind this at all and you could say she also seemed very happy that Jayden was paying more attention to herself. Although in a little weird way.

"Yeah, I'm going to suspend him," Jayden muttered, still looking annoyed that he could be persuaded by Adrian to do something he doubted would please Apple.

"It turns out that you are very gullible, Mr. Tordoff," said Apple as she wrapped her arms around Jayden's neck, while the man grabbed Apple by waist protectively, because he didn't want Apple to fall.

"I'm not gullible, I just want to make you happy, because I read that a pregnant woman should not stress or think a lot, because it will affect our baby, I don't want my baby to be born with a frown."

A baby with a frown?

Apple couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. This man…

"Why are you laughing?" Jayden asked in a lighter voice, he liked Apple's laugh, but he didn't understand what made her laugh now.

"Are you seriously saying that?" Apple then looked at Jayden more closely and only then did she realize that Jayden was serious when he said that. "Oh my God… you were serious about what you said."

Realizing this, of course Apple could only shake her head...

She didn't know if Jayden misread some pregnancy article or if he misunderstood any signs.

Who knows…

======================== 

Apple got up a little later, but when she looked at the table beside her bed, where she had put her phone, she couldn't find it which made her frown.

Where was her cell phone? She was sure that her cell phone was here last night.

"Jayden?" Apple turned around and didn't find the man either, but she heard something from the kitchen. Was Jayden cooking something? Oh, he was so sweet…

So she got up from her bed and her feet just stepped on the rose petals that were still scattered on the floor.

Apple thought to let the rose petals be because it was a shame to throw them away, and when she looked at them again, they were really cute.

"Jayden, have you seen my phone?" asked Apple as she walked into the kitchen.

"I kept it. Don't look at your phone for a while." Jayden turned his body and stared at Apple for a while before he answered.

"Why?" Jayden wasn't usually like this.
