For some reason, this fact made Hailee even happier. She was delighted to hear any news that was troubling Aileen.
Hey! Hailee ain't bad, okay. But, still that doesn't change Hailee's happy feeling knowing this.
"I ..." Theodore stammered when he saw how Hailee folded her arms across her chest defensively and glared at him, as if spending a second with him could already make this girl mad.
Maybe he was right in this case.
"Who allowed you to be here?" Hailee looked at Theodore with an expression of displeasure. She didn't even hide her dislike for the man's appearance in front of her.
"I ..." Theodore still looked a little nervous when facing Hailee who was now staring at him intensely. It was a little awkward because they were alone in this room, but that didn't mean he hoped for other people to be around either.
"If you have nothing more to say, then you can go out," Hailee said in a tone that was cold and in an attitude that indicated that she did not want Theodore to linger in the room any longer. "You shouldn't be here."
"Yes, yes ... I know ..." Now, Theodore was shuffling more and more restlessly, feeling uncomfortable with how Hailee was treating him.
Actually, even Theodore did not understand why he felt this eagerness to approach Hailee in her dressing room, while he himself did not know what to tell to the Mrs. Tordoff.
Yes, now Hailee has officially become Mrs. Tordoff and there was nothing Theodore could do to change that.
"I just wanted to congratulate you on your big day," Theodore said quietly and ventured to raise his head and look Hailee straight in the face.
He didn't know what got into him, but seeing Hailee who was standing so beautiful in front of him now made Theodore feel a little uneasy, like something was bothering him and he didn't know what to do to feel better.
Hearing the almost absurd reason for Theodore's arrival, made Hailee raise her eyebrows with an attitude of dislike that grew thicker by the minute.
"Didn't you say that when we met out there?" Hailee nodded toward the hall, where the wedding party was still going on. "I have even received congratulations from both of your parents."
Hailee couldn't forget how Mrs. Gevano always looked at her with a look of hope, wanting Hailee to be side by side with her only son.
Even though Mrs. Gevano didn't say it outright, but Hailee could guess it easily, because after all, she had known Theodore's mother long enough to know what they were thinking.
"If that is all you have to say, I have heard it now." Hailee was still not being gentle with her ex- fiancé and this was evident when she realized how lucky she was because Theodore preferred Aileen over her. This was truly unexpected luck. "Now you can get out."
"Hailee, can I talk to you for just a minute?" Theodore asked, he took a step forward to approach Hailee, but when he saw the frown between the girl's brows deepened, his steps stopped.
Hailee didn't even want him to approach her ...
Where had that girl who always looked friendly and approachable had gone to? One of the reasons why Theodore was able to be in a secret relationship with Aileen for quite a long time was because Hailee had always been very easy to trick.
The thing that Theodore was not at all proud of having done, it could even be said that he felt ashamed for having done such a lowly thing to Hailee.
Truly not a man's actions...
"One minute?" Hailee showed a surprised expression, then she turned her head toward the clock on the wall on her left. "You have already wasted four minutes and you want more now?" Hailee pouted, folding her arms indecisively.
"Hailee ..." Theodore was still trying to get Hailee to talk, even though the girl's answer in front of him was a little painful. How much did Hailee dislike talking to him? "I know that being here is a little inappropriate."
"Right." Hailee readily agreed without waiting for Theodore to explain further. "That's why, I told you to leave this room earlier."
However, it seemed those harsh words had no effect on Theodore anymore, because he had stuck to his original purpose, which was to express what was on his mind.
"I want to apologize for what I have done," Theodore clenched his fists, for it was not his custom to apologize, especially to Hailee.
He didn't even think much of this girl back then because Theodore always thought, with Hailee's nature that is forgiving and tends to never raise her voice, he can do whatever he wants without having to consider Hailee's feelings.
Yes, and reality proved how wrong he was for thinking that way.
"Theo, you already said that while we met at Uncle Diego's house," Hailee sighed, her forehead creased as she stared at the man in front of her who looked very unattractive.
Of course other men were not interesting when you compare them to Ramon, and yeah, Theodore Gevano had become a back drop in Hailee's eyes. Oh, she now has the status of Mrs. Tordoff...
Who wouldn't want that status? Every women in this party would willingly give everything that they had to be in Hailee's position.
Every time Hailee thought about that, she couldn't stop smiling to herself and feeling so happy that she seemed to want to shout it in front of Theodore, so this man could walk away from her and bring his guilt and 'sorry' to another place, because Hailee simply didn't need that.
Theodore, hearing Hailee's blatant refusal, took another step closer and this time, Hailee stepped back to avoid him.
What's with Theodore? Why does he look messed up like this? Hailee frowned and continued to stare at the man in front of her with a wary gaze.
Theodore did tend to be casual, but he never got out of control and did things that would damage his reputation.
Because if anyone saw Theodore now, they would think that this man had certain intentions for Hailee.
And having ulterior motives for Ramon Tordoff's wife is, of course, not a wise move.
"Hailee, you don't understand ..." Theodore took another step closer, shortening the distance between them. "Me and Aileen ..." he didn't finish his sentence.
He and Aileen were in the middle of a problem and Theodore was unsure of the decision he had taken, which was asking Aileen to have an abortion.
And since his request that seemed very cold, his relationship with Aileen is no longer the same as before. It felt strange and Theodore did not notice that his feelings begun to waver, they were no longer the same ...
"Theodore," Hailee called out his name in a firm tone. "You better get away from me now."
Just then, someone opened the door hard enough and startled the two of them, to make Theodore stop his steps and turn around to find Lexus standing in the doorway with a confused expression.
"Mr. Gevano?" Lexus narrowed his eyes at Theodore and then looked at Hailee who was folding her arms with a tense expression and a look of displeasure in her eyes.
It is easy to see that Theodore Gevano's presence in this place was not really welcomed by his sister- in- law.
"You shouldn't be in this room," Lexus said in a stern tone, moving closer to Hailee.
Within seconds, Lexus' attitude took a huge turn. The cheerful and approachable nature that always radiated off Lexus, vanished as he stared at Theodore while standing before Hailee, between the two of them.
Now, with this cold and overprotective attitude, Lexus looked a lot like Ramon when he's jealous, whenever Hailee mentions Ian's name.
Good job Lexus!
Hailee cheered as her brother- in- law glared fiercely at the man in front of her.
"I already said that, but it looks like Mr. Gevano didn't even think to heed my words," Hailee added, pursing her lips and giving Theodore an irritated look, standing behind Lexus' stout back.
Hearing Hailee's statement, Lexus raised his eyebrows. "So, you need me to get someone to escort you out or are you going out of this room on your own?"
Hearing Lexus' words, made Theodore grit his teeth and clench his fists even tighter.
However, in the next second, he turned his body and walked away from them, without saying anything. It seemed he had still a little bit dignity to not being thrown out of the party anytime soon.
And just before Theodore opened the door, someone from the opposite direction had opened it, it was the employee of the Diva who was bringing Hailee a cold drink.
Her eyes stared at Theodore in confusion, for no man was supposed to be there or enter this changing room.
However, when she saw Lexus in the room as well, she didn't say anything because she thought this man must have come with Lexus and not Hailee who was alone with him.
Because if that happened, then people out there would think all kinds of things.
And God only knows how these people would embellish a story they didn't know for sure.
Especially when Hailee was being a figure in the spotlight right now.
The girl is tender meat for carnivores who really want to devour her until nothing remains because she have succeeded in conquering Ramon Tordoff.
Who wouldn't want Hailee to fall from where she is now?
Of course, Giana would be in the first line to hope something like that.
For some reason, this fact made Hailee even happier. She was delighted to hear any news that was troubling Aileen.
Hey! Hailee ain't bad, okay. But, still that doesn't change Hailee's happy feeling knowing this.

Of course, Giana would be in the first line to hope something like that.
