Chapter 337: MOMENT
Ramon couldn't understand how his wife could ask him for another man, even with her half-forced and fierce gaze like the one Ramon was seeing right now.
"Am I no longer the jackpot to you?" asked Ramon in a hurtful tone.
Hailee rolled her eyes dramatically, then pulled Ramon and kissed his lips quickly. "Now, give Pyro back to me."
Ramon narrowed his eyes. "Give Pyro back to you?" he repeated her words. "You think a kiss can melt me?"
Hailee then blinked her eyes and gave an innocent look, her facial expression immediately changed, then a second kiss landed on Ramon's lips again. "Okay, two then."
"That's not the way to kiss me Hailee," Ramon smiled as he could see a smile in his wife's eyes.
Maybe things couldn't go back to the same as they used to be, but at least the two of them were trying not to get too dragged behind by the problem.
And Ramon really appreciated how Hailee tried to cheer him up by breaking the ice like this. Ramon knew very well that this had always been Hailee's way of getting things out of him.
There is something missing, but there is also something that will never change and Ramon will cherish every second of his time with his beloved wife. Whatever they will face in the future, whatever will come their way, at least Ramon knows that he will always have Hailee in his life.
And that was enough to make Ramon feel much better.
The sadness did not go away so easily and it was certain that they would forever remember their first child, who did not get the chance to enjoy their love. That loss would forever be a part of Hailee and Ramon.
"Then how?" Hailee asked, a smile on the corner of her lips, though there was still sadness in her eyes.
Ramon smiled back at his wife and leaned in so that he could gently touch Hailee's lips with his and cupped her face in his hands.
"Like this," Ramon whispered between Hailee's lips. "I love you Hailee..."
================
After Ramon left for his office to take care of matters with Leon as well as some other things, Hailee also rushed to take a shower and change into the clean clothes she got from Barry, the new bodyguard Ramon mentioned before he left.
"Mrs. Tordoff you can't go out," Barry forbade Hailee to step out of her ward, but a fierce glare from Hailee made him back off.
"If you want to report this to Ramon, just go ahead," Hailee said indifferently and stepped out of her room while Barry and six other bodyguards followed behind her.
Out of the corner of her eye, she could see that Barry was trying to make a phone call and Hailee didn't have to think hard about who Barry was calling right now.
And her guess was proved correct when moments later her cell phone rang, signaling an incoming call that required her attention.
"Yes, honey," Hailee said sweetly, as she got into the car accompanied by Barry in the driver's seat.
"Don't 'honey' me." Ramon sounded displeased with the sweet endearment. It was not her choice of name that he didn't like, but because Hailee's purpose was what made him have to extend his patience for his wife. "Didn't I tell you that you shouldn't leave the hospital?"
"But, I never agreed," Hailee told him the fact. "I thought after that kiss, you finally gave me consent."
Hailee said this very smoothly but made Barry almost hit the brakes suddenly, while Collin, Hailee's previous bodyguard, gave a look that seemed to say; You'll get used to this, Barry.
Pyro wouldn't be surprised, but today was actually Barry's first day being Mrs. Tordoff's bodyguard.
"That kiss had nothing to do with this," Ramon grumbled now.
"I'll give you more than a kiss when I get home, but for now, I have things to do," Hailee promised.
And this time Barry actually pressed the brake pedal all of a sudden as they were about to pull out of the parking lot.
This received a fierce glare from Hailee and Barry lowered his head, giving her an apologetic look through the rearview mirror.
"I promise I'll tell you later, okay. I love you." After that Hailee hung up the call before Ramon could even return her words.
Hailee felt she had to do something. She couldn't just sit back and pamper herself just because Ramon treated her like that, while her husband faced the people who had made her suffer alone.
No, Hailee wasn't going to stand still while Ramon had the pleasure of getting his revenge.
Hailee would also get her revenge. Because that's the only way she could divert herself from the sadness she was feeling.
Hailee didn't want to lower herself so badly that she couldn't do anything but cry.
She could do other things besides that…
She would cry later, after those bastards had cried for their lives…
Hailee then called someone, as soon as she hung up on Ramon. "Pyro, where are you?" she asked when Pyro picked up the call. "Meet me right now."
Pyro choked on the drink he was drinking then immediately answered Hailee's command with a slight cough. "Mrs. Tordoff, you may not know this… but, Mr. Tordoff has…"
"Ramon fired you, but now I'm hiring you back." Hailee cut off Pyro's words, because she didn't have time to make small talk. "So are you coming to see me or not?"
"I think Mr. Tordoff wouldn't like it if…" Pyro seemed to contradict himself a bit.
"I'll take care of Ramon later, now tell me, do you still want to work for me?" asked Hailee. Her voice sounded very serious and urgent. She needed Pyro's answer now.
"Yes, of course…" Pyro answered immediately. He was drinking because he felt so useless that he had lost his job. However, it wasn't because he lost the job that he was depressed, but because of the reason behind it and the lack of opportunity to correct the mistake that made Pyro feel so useless.
"Good, then meet me now," said Hailee, who then mentioned the address where Pyro could meet her.
This whole mess needed a start to sort it out, and this was the first step Hailee took to begin her revenge.
Most people need an important moment in their life to finally realize what they have to do, and for Hailee, losing her child was that moment.
