"I'm not happy to see you, so don't spread rumors that aren't true," she said.
Hailee had heard the whispers that Lexus had made to Ramon. The second son of the Tordoff family thought that Hailee didn't hear him because she was deep in thought, but the truth was; It was Lexus' comments that made Hailee unable to concentrate on her own problems.
Maybe seeing this from a different perspective would be a good thing, because Hailee was being too deep about her feelings and that wasn't good, but still what Lexus did was annoying.
"Don't lie," said Lexus as he waved his hand at Hailee, making a gesture as if he was ignoring Hailee's statement. "You're always excited when you see me."
"I really can't talk to your brother…" Hailee grumbled to Ramon. "He can be a very annoying person."
"I know," said Ramon, confirming Hailee's statement. "I'll ask the guard to ban him from entering if he comes without notice next time," Ramon said lightly as he took a sip of his tea, because Hailee couldn't smell coffee.
"Seriously!" exclaimed Lexus. "I'm your brother!"
"And I'm his wife!" Hailee didn't want to lose.
And this little commotion continued as long as they ate breakfast. Hailee and Lexus just couldn't stop fussing over trifles.
However, strangely, this only made Ramon feel much more comfortable, because he liked this Hailee more than she was a few hours ago. At least, this unpredictable woman still had the energy to fight with his brother and that gave him a strange relief.
"The company anniversary event will be held next month right?" Hailee asked. She pushed her bowl of porridge from which she only took a few mouthfuls, because she had lost her appetite.
Seeing this, Ramon took the bowl that Hailee had pushed away and started to feed his wife. At first Hailee refused because she didn't want to eat anything, but in the end Ramon managed to persuade her.
"Yes, you will come right?" Lexus then turned his attention to his brother. "You're not going to stop her from coming, are you? Don't be ridiculous, you don't need to be so protective of her, to the point of forbidding her to attend a party."
Lexus had seen how Ramon had been after learning of Hailee's pregnancy, therefore his assumption that Ramon would prevent Hailee was not uncalled for.
"No, I will come," this time it was Hailee, who answered firmly and Ramon did not give any response to the answer. "But, I have something to ask, can I invite someone else to the event?"
"Of course," replied Lexus. "Who are you going to invite? I'll have someone send the invitation to them."
Hailee shook her head slowly. "No need, I will give the invitation myself."
Hearing this, Ramon narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he knew about whom and what Hailee was thinking and her answer to Lexus's question proved that his instincts were often right.
"Who are you going to invite?" asked Lexus.
"My adoptive sister Aileen and uncle George," Hailee replied calmly while eating the porridge that Ramon fed her.
Their eyes met briefly and Hailee could see disapproval flashing across Ramon's eyes, only this time he chose not to speak his mind.
But, Ramon would definitely discuss this when the two of them were alone.

The news about Giana and Aidan's divorce dominated all the mass media columns and became the trending headlines for days.
And during that time, no one in the media had been able to find out where Giana was staying, while Aidan was very difficult to ask for information.
The two soon to be divorcees were the most wanted people at the moment, because it was not only the news about their marriage that was becoming hot gossip, but also news about the shares of the Dawson family company which was increasingly worrying, while, like his daughter, Mr. Dawson was unreachable as well.
Every important meeting, it was Lori Dawson who would appear to replace his brother as speaker. This strange thing also caused speculation in the community.
Many people said that Larry Dawson, Giana's father, was in a critical condition where he couldn't even run the company.
And if the news was true, then the shares of the Dawson family would continue to decline and this would be a critical period for their company if allowed to continue, because Lori Dawson's figure was not as strong as his brother's figure in leading the company.
And from the very first day Larry Dawson was in the hospital, Giana couldn't be reached, nor did she try to find out how her father was doing.
Therefore, when today Giana appeared at the hospital and entered the VVIP room occupied by her father, her mother was surprised and immediately approached her.
"What have you been doing all this time? Why did you just come now? Don't you know that the company is under threat?!" exclaimed her mother with an angry face and also relieved after seeing the figure of her only daughter.
However, Giana ignored it all and walked calmly to her father's bed.
Actually, this room was under tight security and not just anyone could enter. This was to prevent any news leaking about Larry Dawson's health, but as the sole heir to the Dawson family, of course Giana was an exception.
"You really are just making everything difficult for this family!" Her mother continued scolding her. "After the scandal, you just disappeared and are not responsible at all for the mess you've created! Divorce?! You really are crazy!"
Giana had often heard disgruntled grunts from her father, so her mother's protests meant nothing to her, but it still hurt, knowing that the person who was supposed to be defending her was actually standing opposite her. Even long before this incident, her mother had not really defended Giana or one could say never at all.
"What other mess are you going to blow up now?!" her mother continued to scold Giana even after the two of them stood by the bed where Larry Dawson was sleeping with an oxygen tube up his nose.
"Shut up!" roared Giana in the end, because her patience had run out from the constant obeying and bowing. "Stop your babbling and get out of this room right now," Giana growled in a low voice.
This was the first time Giana raised her voice against her mother.
"I'm not happy to see you, so don't spread rumors that aren't true," she said.
