"They have to get married before Aileen's belly gets bigger and everyone else finds out about this pregnancy," Diego said in a deep, calm voice. He seemed completely unfazed by the dramatic scene before him.
Maybe because Aileen is not part of the Tatum family, therefore he doesn't have the obligation to look after her like he does on Hailee. Even though Aileen has been raised in the Tatum family since she was just five years old, Diego doesn't feel the closeness or compassion he naturally felt toward Aileen whatsoever.
"You are going to be responsible by marrying Aileen, right?" Diego turned his attention to Theodore, who was still hugging Aileen's body. The girl was sobbing relentlessly.
Theodore, who usually looked neat and dignified, this time looked so disheveled and looked like someone who had just experienced the most difficult time in his life.
Theodore did not give a direct answer, and remained still, staring at his mother and father, ashamed of what he had done.
This was the worst scenario Theodore could have imagined when he thought of breaking the news of Aileen's pregnancy to them, even though he had actually told Aileen to abort the baby.
But, now that things were like this, there was nothing more he could do but agree with Diego's words.
Mr. Gevano was speechless when he found that his son was guilty and had also confessed the baby in Aileen's womb.
Marriage was nothing that he could avoid when the situation was already like this and since this was the Tatum family they were facing, threats and bribes of money or wealth would not succeed in making them forget this incident.
D*mn! Why the situation became very complicated like this?!
Mr. Gevano did want the Tatum family's company and had agreed to the relationship between Theodore and Aileen, but on condition; which of course was related to him eyeing for Tatum Jewelry company.
It was just that, after seeing Hailee and Tordoff's marriage, and after considering all the possibilities that could occur, it was highly likely that Ramon Tordoff would not miss the opportunity to take control of his wife's company.
Even though the company was currently in decline, in good hands, of course it could still be competitive. After all, Ramon is a businessman, he just have to see a gap and will not miss that opportunity.
And now, just as he was thinking about taking his words back, Aileen was pregnant and, like it or not, they both had to get married.
This is such a big loss!
"I am going to marry Aileen," said Theodore under Diego's glare. And the words were like a final verdict for Mr. and Mrs. Gevano.
Meanwhile, Aileen immediately hugged Theodore tightly and buried her face in the man's chest, sobbing again and whispering, "Thank you, Theo ... thank you." her voice slightly trembling when she said that.
But what the people there didn't know was the fact that Aileen was smiling triumphantly in her heart, and so was George. The problem was settled with their marriage.
On the other hand, Diego felt nothing about this decision. He just thought, since Aileen would be entering Gevano family soon, it meant that he didn't need to think about the adopted daughter of his late sister- in- law.
And because Hailee was already happy with Ramon Tordoff, that meant the only person he needed to worry about was her own child; Zia, who until now was not in a relationship with any man.
Indeed Diego had forbidden Zia to have a special relationship with other men and had always been too strict in taking care of his daughter, but that didn't mean that now Diego felt happy because Zia obeyed his words by not approaching any man, on the contrary, he felt restless.
His daughter was no longer a teenager and it is time for Zia to catch up with Hailee, and Diego must find the right man for his only daughter.
Meanwhile, Zia, who was paying attention to this dramatic incident before her, didn't show any expression at all. She did not show sympathy for Aileen nor did she feel sorry for Theodore, whose expression seemed like a man whose wife had just died.
Yes, Theodore's appearance was terrifying for someone of his status and had just attended an important wedding.
Instead of wedding, he looked like someone, who just attended a funeral.
The only things on Zia's mind were; she wanted to immediately contact Hailee about this news, it is just that it was past midnight and Zia didn't want to disturb her cousin's first night.
In fact, Zia was quite curious about where Ramon actually took Hailee because even her cousin didn't know, let alone the reporters who swarmed like moths around the light bulb.
Nobody knew where they went ...
==============
Hailee awoke to the sounds of bird's chirping greeting her ears and the warm sunlight shining on her face through the wind- blown curtains.
"Hm?"Hailee blinked tiredly and wriggled on top of her bed feeling her head so light that she felt like she was still in dreamland.
The fatigue Hailee felt all over her body reminded her of last night's party. A party attended by hundreds of important people. The wedding between herself and Ramon...
Only after Hailee realized that last thing, did she remember what had happened after the party.
Ramon invited her to run away from their own wedding because he felt he had enough of meeting with the guests. Then drove to the airport and boarded the plane with the Tordoff family logo, after that a runway on an island, a house that stood on the edge of a cliff, white roses scattered about on the floor of the room and...
Ramon's seductive smile and voice that said Theodore's scent lingered on her body.
"Wait a minute ..." Hailee immediately sat up on her bed and looked around her carefully. She was indeed in the same room with the white roses still on the floor, but when Hailee looked to the side of the bed, where Ramon should have been, it was empty and still warm, indicating that the man had just left her side.
Taking care not to step on the pretty flower petals, Hailee stomped her feet on the floor.
Only then did she realize that her clothes had been changed. However, these clothes weren't her clothes, or rather, it was just a white T-shirt that Ramon usually wore to sleep.
However, the problem is; Hailee doesn't remember waking up and changing into Ramon's clothes. Because the last time the clothes she remembered she was wearing was her evening gown.
So how could Hailee have changed clothes without noticing it herself?
Was it possible that Ramon had changed her clothes? Hailee frowned. Really, did he do it? But, if it is not Ramon, then who?
Hailee did not want to ponder on any further and decided to immediately search for the man.
And when Hailee stood up, she realized that she was only wearing that white T-shirt without any pants. Indeed, her underwear was still perfectly in place, indicating that nothing had happened last night, but Ramon's white t-shirt covered half of her thighs, which made it look like a short negligee.
It can be seen from this difference, the body comparison between Hailee and Ramon.
But, that was the last thing Hailee cared about, because after she saw herself in the mirror in that shirt, a smile curled on her lips. She looks cute ...
Well, if she could compliment herself a little, Hailee didn't mind wearing one of Ramon's T-shirts and she could say she feels sexy in that shirt.
Hailee laughed softly and started walking toward the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. She didn't want her mornings to be unpleasant because of a trivial matter like this.
After finishing her business in the bathroom, Hailee then stepped out of the room and heard sounds to her right.
Looking at the position of the room, it looked like they were coming from the kitchen and Hailee became even more convinced when she heard the sounds of cooking utensils clinking.
And with her bare feet, Hailee stepped into the kitchen, to find Ramon cooking something.
"Are you making breakfast?" Hailee asked in a slightly hoarse voice, thus she had to clear her throat.
Ramon was a little surprised and immediately turned to look at Hailee, who had been sitting on one of the bar stools, supporting her chin. A mischievous smile dancing on her lips.
"Do you want an omelette?" Ramon asked briefly, then returned to focus on his cooking, while Hailee raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Can you cook?" She asked incredulously.
"I'm not as great as you, but I lived alone for some time while I finished my studies." Ramon explained. It's not often for him to inform others about himself, so in a way, Hailee had made him feel so comfortable that Ramon volunteered to tell her about himself.
In other words, Ramon lived alone when he was studying abroad.
"Wow, royal breakfast made by Mr. Tordoff. " Hailee teased, but then she folded her arms and stared at Ramon while narrowing her eyes. "Then why am I wearing your clothes?"
Ramon gave Hailee a quick glance as he flipped the eggs in the frying pan and drained the French fries he was cooking at the same time.
"You can't sleep wearing that dress, can you?" He asked lightly.
"So you don't feel guilty for stripping my clothes?" Hailee asked again, this time her tone sounded a little irritated.
"Why should I feel guilty for doing that?" Which meant, Ramon had just admitted that he was the one who undressed Hailee and tucked her into this 'nightgown.'
"At least you can dress me in a sexy outfit," Hailee grumbled softly which made Ramon laugh.
"What are you going to do in sexy clothes when you fall asleep?" Ramon then placed the omelette on the plate he had prepared earlier, and served the French fries that he had drained onto the rim of the plate. "Eat."
After he finished putting the three sausages on top of the omelette, Ramon passed the plate to Hailee, who was hugging her knees and staring at himself with dissatisfied eyes.
"Then why didn't we consummate our first night? Even after you saw me naked... " Hailee's words nearly knocked the plate in Ramon's handle off and the breakfast he made was in vain. "Am I not attractive enough in your eyes?"
"Hailee…" Ramon said the name in a tone that was forced to be patient. He placed the plate in front of Hailee so that it wouldn't slip from his hand again, then sat down next to his wife. "You slept like dead log. What should I do with you? I'm not necrophilic." Ramon tried to explain patiently. "I'm not fan of necrophilia."
"They have to get married before Aileen's belly gets bigger and everyone else finds out about this pregnancy," Diego said in a deep, calm voice. He seemed completely unfazed by the dramatic scene before him.
Maybe because Aileen is not part of the Tatum family, therefore he doesn't have the obligation to look after her like he does on Hailee.
