Chapter 224: AILEEN'S WEDDING DAY (5)
Not many people know about the news that Hailee was pregnant because Ramon deliberately didn't announce it and tended to keep it a secret.
But, because Diego said his congratulations for Hailee's pregnancy in a loud enough voice, then some of the invited guests nearby could hear him clear enough.
Luckily the guests at the time were close relatives of the bride and groom, so it could be said that there were no outsiders around, except for Giana. And, most of them did know Hailee before as Theodore's fiancé.
Immediately, when several people heard that Hailee was pregnant, they immediately swarmed Hailee, vying to congratulate her, as if the event that day was not Ailee's wedding, because for a moment the bride was completely forgotten.
"Pregnant?" Giana hissed. Her eyes stared blankly at Hailee who was responding to the congratulatory words sent her way with a smile on her lips. "She is pregnant?"
"Oh, I just found out about this as well…" Aileen mumbled as she looked in the same direction as Giana. Then her eyes caught the figure of Theodore, who was standing transfixed. The man also heard what these people were talking about, the fact that Hailee was pregnant.
Not only that, even Mr. and Mrs. Gevano seemed to be trying to hide their shock and acted as if they were happy to hear the news.
Because it was undeniable, that Hailee and Ramon's marriage caused skepticism among many people who said that the marriage was just a convenience marriage, but with the news of Hailee's pregnancy being quite fast, of course it took them by surprise.
"I didn't know about this news…" Aileen mumbled again. Her brows furrowed in displeasure at the excessive attention Hailee receiving from these people. Why did she always be the center of attention?
On the other hand, Giana didn't say anything, but her eyes were now glaring at Ramon who was walking toward his wife who was surrounded by a lot of people, as if he was worried that something might happen to Hailee.
Ramon simply walked past Aileen and Giana, without turning or glancing at them, as if the two women were not there, or maybe his only focus right now was Hailee, so everything else was nothing in his eyes.
While Giana could only stare at him without being able to do anything. No. This was not the right time for her to do anything. There was something else she had to do first before doing anything about her relationship with Ramon.
"You just found out about this too?" Giana asked Aileen, of course after her great efforts to distract herself from Ramon and Hailee. "I thought you two were close enough to share information."
Aileen glanced at Giana, as if this woman had just said something unreasonable. "Close?" Aileen sneered. "This is an annoying misunderstanding."
Giana raised an eyebrow when she heard that. "I guess my assumption was wrong then."
Aileen didn't answer, but then she turned around and drank another glass of wine in frustration.
It was her wedding day, but she wasn't getting the attention she wanted, not even from her current husband, Theodore Gevano. Today, she was supposed to officially become Aileen Gevano, but she didn't feel the happiness she should have felt.
Aileen didn't feel as happy as she imagined to have Gevano family's name behind her name. Maybe it was because her main goal had changed, that she no longer wanted Theodore to help her get Tatum's company, because now Aileen realized that she could achieve it all by herself.
"I didn't expect you to dislike your own sister so much," Giana said quietly, taking a glass of wine from the nearby table and sipping it.
"She is not my sister," Aileen replied curtly. But then she noticed something odd. You could call this as a woman's intuition. "Why do I feel that you have something to do with Hailee? Or is it just me?"
Giana smiled meaningfully. "You are right. I have a complicated business with your sister."
Aileen was quite surprised when she heard this, "Oh." She tossed her hair off her shoulders and asked carefully, acting as if she wasn't interested in this. "What business do you have with her?"
But of course, Giana could see her pretense quite well. "I will let you know if I need you." She took another sip of her drink. "Until then, our business is only about Aidan's affair."
Aileen snorted when she heard the subtle refusal. Giana was trying to play her cards well and take advantage of them. "I guess that's fair enough."
"But, before that." Giana tilted her head, glancing at Aileen with a cynical look. "Is what Zia said true?" she asked.
"Which one? She talked too much earlier and you two spoke in whispers, so it's safe to say that I didn't hear half of your conversation," Aileen said nonchalantly.
"Zia said that you had slept with Aidan too. Is that true?" Giana asked in a calm voice.The news didn't mean anything to her, but she had to know who she was making deals with, especially with people she just met.
Aileen's breath hitched slightly when she heard that, surprised that Zia told Giana about the secret and now Aileen had to choose between telling the truth or denying the statement.
"Yeah, right," Aileen replied, in the end she chose to tell the truth, because Giana wasn't the kind of person to be easily fooled. "I once slept with your husband."
The only response Giana gave was to raise her eyebrows, as if to say; oh.
"Only once and that was because your husband was drunk. Besides, if it wasn't for that incident, I wouldn't have known that Aidan had an affair with Zia. So I can't be blamed." In her haste, Aileen tried to defend herself, but instead sounded like a desperate person.
"I didn't say anything," Giana said, laughing softly. "But, I want proof of that affair as well. You must have it, right?"
