"Of course," Ramon answered the question directly, his brows furrowed, not understanding why Hailee would question such an obvious thing. "Why do you ask like that?"
"Because I haven't seen you smile at all since the first time I told you the news that I am pregnant," Hailee said in a low voice, lowering her head so she looked like someone who was grieving. "I think I made a mistake"
"What mistake do you mean?" Ramon then put his finger under Hailee's chin, lifting her head so he could see the disappointment in her eyes because Ramon's reaction was not what she expected. "This can't be a mistake. I am happy."
"But you don't look like that," Hailee sulked. "You looked tense from the first time I saw you step into the examination room, especially when I told you about this pregnancy. The expression on your face is that of someone waiting for a final verdict." Hailee was exaggerating, but she really wanted to know what was really going on in Ramon's mind right now. She wanted clarity.
Ramon then laughed softly at Hailee's analogy. "Of course I am very happy," he said softly, leaning his head to touch the tips of their noses together. "I just don't know how to express this feeling. I am not sure I will be a good father."
What was that? Did Hailee just hear Ramon speaking in a timid tone? Did he just show her his vulnerable side? Did he really feel unsure of himself?
Whoa! It was the first time for Hailee to see this side of Ramon.
"Why do you think so?" Hailee closed her eyes, enjoying their closeness. She loved such moments with him.
"I don't know," Ramon replied, shrugging his shoulders. "I suddenly feel like that"
"You will be a great father" Hailee laughed softly as Ramon rubbed their noses.
It might be a romantic moment for both of them, but it seemed both Hailee and Ramon forgot that they were not alone in the car.
In the front seat were Charlie and David, Ramon's chief bodyguards. They both looked very uncomfortable in their respective seats, listening to the conversation between the two lovebirds.
After all, what could they do? They couldn't possibly turn a deaf ear and even though Hailee and Ramon's conversation was nothing more than whispering, inside this silent car, of course they could hear it without problem.
David then looked at Charlie as if to say; can't you drive this car any faster?

"Hey, tell me something," Lexus asked Danny in pitiful tone.
Danny was indeed his classmate when he was in college and was now Ramon's personal assistant, but truthfully, the relationship between the two of them was not very good.
Therefore, if it wasn't for an urgent situation that required him to call Danny, in order to find out where his brother and sister- in- law were, Lexus would not have called him.
Lexus had arrived at the house an hour ago, but there was no sign of Ramon or Hailee there, and after asking Martha about the whereabouts of the two people, he learned that they hadn't yet returned.
And of course, the most annoying thing for Lexus was that neither Hailee nor Ramon were picking up their phone calls.
Where were they? Did they get lost in the forest and couldn't get signal?
Even Hailee's bodyguards didn't want to talk about their whereabouts or what was going on.
Ugh!
For someone as curious as Lexus, this kind of situation was very annoying and frustrating. He would be willing to bang his head against the wall just to find out what was really going on between the two of them and what have made Ramon look so panicked when he left the company in the middle of a meeting.
"You can ask them after they both come back," Danny answered Lexus in a lazy tone. He looked up at the darkening sky and the street lamps that had been lit.
"Then, when will they return?" Lexus bombarded Danny with the same question for the umpteenth time.
"They will be back in time," Danny replied casually.
Aarrgggh!!!
Lexus knew that Danny was taking revenge on him with that annoying answer. "Danny!!! If you are near me I will beat you up!"
And after Lexus said those harsh words, the line was cut off, making the second son of the Tordoff family furious.
"AARRRGGH! Watch out Danny! I will never let this slide!" Lexus growled and made several of the servants in Ramon's house run away from him.

Ramon was still uneasy that Hailee had not been thoroughly examined at the central hospital and because Dr. Bram wasn't an Obstetrics and Gynecology specialist, he couldn't check on Hailee's condition efficiently.
However, Ramon insisted that the doctor should also come and see his wife's condition.
"Ramon, you don't have to call me here, it's not an emergency." Dr. Bram complained a little. He was a man in his mid- thirties and had known Ramon for quite some time, so when it was just the two of them and he wasn't at work, Dr. Bram tended to be more relaxed toward the heir to the Tordoff family.

"You are the family doctor," Ramon replied casually, while watching Hailee who was undergoing a thorough examination.
"You are crazy!" Dr. Bram grumbled. "Your wife is pregnant, not suffering from a deadly disease. You don't need to over- do it like this."
"Don't talk carelessly," Ramon said fiercely to Dr. Bram, until the man had to close his mouth again and complain in his heart why Ramon's attitude was getting worse and worse.
"I am just telling you that you don't need to do this and that you don't need me here," Dr. Bram defended himself.
When he heard Dr. Bram, Ramon turned around and looked at him with a look that could make anyone immediately feel worried that they had said unpleasant things in his ear.
"If you really don't want to be here, should I change the Tordoff family doctor as well?" This question was a threat wrapped in kind words and Ramon said it very casually, as if they were talking about today's weather.
Immediately, Dr. Bram swallowed nervously. "No, there is no need to take it that far. I think I really should check Hailee's condition, after all this is a thorough check up, so there must be something I can do."
In a hurry, Dr. Bram immediately walked into the room and approached Hailee, and from the expression on her face, one could easily tell if she was feeling upset.
At least, not just Dr. Bram was not happy with Ramon's decision.
"How long will it take to finish this examination?" Hailee grumbled at Dr. Bram. "I am pregnant, not afflicted with a deadly disease."
Dr. Bram exhaled, he could also feel Hailee's frustration. "That's what I told your husband earlier. But, he doesn't seem to understand this simple language."

Aileen returned home, accompanied by Theodore. But, the man did not get out of his car at all and went straight to his own house. He only said some sweet words that sounded like a bunch of pleasantries to Aileen before the woman got out of the car.
For the attitude of a man knowing that his lover had just been in an accident, what Theodore did could be considered cold.
But, for now, Aileen didn't care about that at all. Her and Theodore's relationship didn't seem to be improving as smoothly as before, so there was nothing she could do now.
Aileen immediately took out her cell phone after she confirmed that Theodore's vehicle had disappeared behind the tall gates of the Tatum family's house.
In the past, when her parents were still alive, it could be said that this was a warm house. Although, Aileen often felt jealous and resentful toward Hailee, but at least this house could still be said to be a home, not just a magnificent building that was quiet and cold, like now.
"You are going to regret what you did today," Aileen said when George picked up the phone, without saying 'hello' or greeting first.
What for? The fact that George had almost killed her with that ridiculous plan of his really made Aileen furious and flabbergasted.
How could such a stupid person be her father? Oh, George was such a fool, otherwise how could he have challenged Ramon and fall on that guy's bad side just because of a momentary impulsive urge?
Yes, that brief moment had gotten George into a dark pit in the office right now. Not only that, this also affected Aileen's position in the Tatum company.
"There is no other way to get that bastard man to stop his intentions." George replied to Aileen's words in the same harsh tone. He didn't want to be blamed for what he thought was appropriate. "You think you can think of another way? The accident didn't kill you and you are still alive, so what else are you complaining about?!"
Aileen growled when she heard those painful words from George. Just because she didn't die in the accident, then she should feel grateful? What kind of joke is that?
"George," Aileen called his name this time in a very cold tone. She wanted to make sure that this man heard every word she was going to say after this. "You will regret what you did to me today and you should know that I will not let you go."
"You are threatening me?" George snorted in annoyance. How could this girl who always obeyed his every word and order, dare to threaten him now?
"Yes, I am threatening you." Aileen confirmed, her voice sounded much firmer and stronger than usual. "I will make sure you regret what you did today. You think you can get the Tatum family fortune just like that after falling out with Ramon Tordoff? I guarantee that you will lose your position in that company."
"You think you are great now!?" George snapped at Aileen loudly. "If I fall from my position in that company, then you will fall with me too."
Aileen laughed wryly at this expected answer. "Not necessarily. Because just as I don't know what kind of plan you are going to follow, you don't know what kind of plan I am going to carry out either."
"Aileen!"
And before George could say anything else, Aileen had cut him off.
"Stop using me, because I am fed up with what you are doing. From now on, we will take different paths," Aileen said those words very cold.
The hatred in her heart grew like diseases in her heart and now she could no longer contain it.
It was the time for her to give him an eye opener.
