For some reason, this fact made Hailee even happier. She was delighted to hear any news that was troubling Aileen.
Hey! Hailee ain't bad, okay. But, still that doesn't change Hailee's happy feeling knowing this.
"I ..." Theodore stammered when he saw how Hailee folded her arms across her chest defensively and glared at him, as if spending a second with him could already make this girl mad.
Maybe he was right in this case.
"Who allowed you to be here?" Hailee looked at Theodore with an expression of displeasure. She didn't even hide her dislike for the man's appearance in front of her.
"I ..." Theodore still looked a little nervous when facing Hailee who was now staring at him intensely. It was a little awkward because they were alone in this room, but that didn't mean he hoped for other people to be around either.
"If you have nothing more to say, then you can go out," Hailee said in a tone that was cold and in an attitude that indicated that she did not want Theodore to linger in the room any longer. "You shouldn't be here."
"Yes, yes ... I know ..." Now, Theodore was shuffling more and more restlessly, feeling uncomfortable with how Hailee was treating him.
Actually, even Theodore did not understand why he felt this eagerness to approach Hailee in her dressing room, while he himself did not know what to tell to the Mrs. Tordoff.
Yes, now Hailee has officially become Mrs. Tordoff and there was nothing Theodore could do to change that.
"I just wanted to congratulate you on your big day," Theodore said quietly and ventured to raise his head and look Hailee straight in the face.
He didn't know what got into him, but seeing Hailee who was standing so beautiful in front of him now made Theodore feel a little uneasy, like something was bothering him and he didn't know what to do to feel better.
Hearing the almost absurd reason for Theodore's arrival, made Hailee raise her eyebrows with an attitude of dislike that grew thicker by the minute.
"Didn't you say that when we met out there?" Hailee nodded toward the hall, where the wedding party was still going on. "I have even received congratulations from both of your parents."
Hailee couldn't forget how Mrs. Gevano always looked at her with a look of hope, wanting Hailee to be side by side with her only son.
Even though Mrs. Gevano didn't say it outright, but Hailee could guess it easily, because after all, she had known Theodore's mother long enough to know what they were thinking.
"If that is all you have to say, I have heard it now." Hailee was still not being gentle with her ex- fiancé and this was evident when she realized how lucky she was because Theodore preferred Aileen over her. This was truly unexpected luck. "Now you can get out."
"Hailee, can I talk to you for just a minute?" Theodore asked, he took a step forward to approach Hailee, but when he saw the frown between the girl's brows deepened, his steps stopped.
Hailee didn't even want him to approach her ...
Where had that girl who always looked friendly and approachable had gone to? One of the reasons why Theodore was able to be in a secret relationship with Aileen for quite a long time was because Hailee had always been very easy to trick.
The thing that Theodore was not at all proud of having done, it could even be said that he felt ashamed for having done such a lowly thing to Hailee.
Truly not a man's actions...
"One minute?" Hailee showed a surprised expression, then she turned her head toward the clock on the wall on her left. "You have already wasted four minutes and you want more now?" Hailee pouted, folding her arms indecisively.
"Hailee ..." Theodore was still trying to get Hailee to talk, even though the girl's answer in front of him was a little painful. How much did Hailee dislike talking to him? "I know that being here is a little inappropriate."
"Right." Hailee readily agreed without waiting for Theodore to explain further. "That's why, I told you to leave this room earlier."
However, it seemed those harsh words had no effect on Theodore anymore, because he had stuck to his original purpose, which was to express what was on his mind.
"I want to apologize for what I have done," Theodore clenched his fists, for it was not his custom to apologize, especially to Hailee.
He didn't even think much of this girl back then because Theodore always thought, with Hailee's nature that is forgiving and tends to never raise her voice, he can do whatever he wants without having to consider Hailee's feelings.
Yes, and reality proved how wrong he was for thinking that way.
"Theo, you already said that while we met at Uncle Diego's house," Hailee sighed, her forehead creased as she stared at the man in front of her who looked very unattractive.
Of course other men were not interesting when you compare them to Ramon, and yeah, Theodore Gevano had become a back drop in Hailee's eyes. Oh, she now has the status of Mrs. Tordoff...
