Aileen was dumbfounded when she heard what Theodore had just said. What did he mean by saying that he had prepared another hospital for Aileen's next examination? Was he suspicious? Had what he discovered about the illegal activities that Aileen and George were doing have made him even more wary and suspicious that Aileen's pregnancy was just nonsense?
Well, although the latter assumption was not wrong, Theodore should not know about it. Why did this man suddenly become difficult to handle and cunning like a devil?
She couldn't understand this sudden of change attitude of Theodore.
Aileen thought she had Theodore in her grip like before and could make him do whatever she wanted, but looking at how Theodore had acted with her and being more cautious about everything, it seemed this man had learned a thing or two from the information that he got.
He didn't think Aileen was so innocent as she looked like for the past few years he knew her.
"Why do we have to change hospitals?" Aileen asked, trying to break the ice and looking less nervous. "Didn't Uncle George arrange everything? The hospital that was previously very safe for me, for us. You know, right? Your mother wants to keep my pregnancy a secret..." Aileen touched her belly softly, to incite Theodore's feeling, but it didn't seem very work.
After hearing Aileen's statement and her gesture, Theodore frowned as a sign that he did not agree. "You know yourself that Uncle George isn't as good as he looks. I don't want unwanted things to happen to my child," he said righteously, though a few days ago, he really wanted to get rid of the baby.
While saying this, Theodore cast a look full of meaning at Aileen, which was difficult for the woman to grasp what those eyes meant.
Was it true that Theodore was suspicious of her and this time he wanted to confirm for himself that Aileen was really pregnant? Or… was there something else this man was planning and Aileen didn't know?
It seemed like she should be more wary of Theodore, because the change in his attitude now didn't seem to be in line with Aileen's expectations…
"I don't think George would do anything crazy toward me now that I am pregnant with your child," Aileen said, trying to relieve the tension she felt as well as the questions that were eating away at her curiosity about Theodore's sudden attitude. "He won't go that far with this kid…" Aileen's voice became low and she rubbed her flat stomach gently.
Meanwhile, Theodore just gave Aileen a faint smile and opened the car door when the car stopped right in front of the building's lobby, he held her back and acted gentlemanly by reaching out to Aileen, to help her get off.
"We will get to that later," Theodore said as he kissed Aileen on the cheek and walked together toward the event that was about to take place.
==============
Hailee still felt a little annoyed when she had to attend this fashion show alone with Lexus instead of going with Ramon.
Because, it meant messing up the ignorant ideas in her head that she had been planning since knowing that Aileen and Giana would be there too.
But, that didn't mean Hailee wasn't happy to attend this event with Lexus, because like Ramon said, Lexus really knew how to run about in this circle.
He knew most of the guests present and how to behave as an extraordinary social butterfly by not forgetting to involve Hailee in every conversation that was never boring.
When Lexus met a group of businessmen, he would act more mature and reliable, discussing various projects casually and throwing jokes here and there so as not to make Hailee feel bored listening to the chat.
Meanwhile, when Lexus had to face a group of young women, who could be sure to start flirting with him and asking for more attention from the second son of the Tordoff family, Lexus could change his attitude to become an easy- going person and mingle with their temptations, without being impressed or giving hope.
Again, Hailee was stunned by the social skills that Lexus had and how he could be very flexible in changing his attitude very quickly, to adapt to the environment around him.
These people would come to Ramon because he had a magnet to draw them closer to him, as if by being around him they felt they had a better status, but things were different with Lexus, because this second son of the Tordoffs made people approach him because they were comfortable doing so.
"So, it was your ex- fiancé who was snatched away by your adoptive sister?" Lexus said while handing a glass of drink to Hailee, nodding at the couple who had just stepped into the hall.
The drink Lexus gave Hailee could be ascertained something nonalcoholic, because Ramon had warned him so as not to get Hailee drunk.
Well, the last time this girl was drunk was not pleasant enough to remember...
"Hm?" Hailee accepted the glass of drink being handed to her and turned her head to look in the direction Lexus pointing by nodding his chin.
