"Hailee!" A woman's voice was heard calling her name as soon as Hailee and Ramon got out of their car.
The journey back to town A was tiring, but Hailee had enough time to take a refreshing nap in the car after Ramon shared how he felt about Giana.
"Mother?" Hailee smiled when she saw Lis who was walking in a hurry to greet her. "I can't reach you for the past few days."
"Oh yeah… I'm in a place where it is difficult to get a signal," Lis said and because her focus was on Hailee, she missed the meaningful look her son gave her. "I just heard the news of your pregnancy!"
"Ah, that…" Hailee lowered her head, she couldn't bear to look at Lis when the still beautiful middle-aged woman said it in a quite loud voice. "Yeah… we just found out about it."
"I didn't expect to become a grandmother so soon," Lis complained, but from the look in her eyes, she looked very happy to hear the news.
Admittedly, Lis looked too young to be called grandma… hmm, Hailee thought people like Lis took extra care to maintain their appearance.
"At the next examination, I will go with you," Lis said enthusiastically. "And you." This time her attention was on Ramon. "You don't look happy to see your mother back? Don't just stand there, come here, because there's a lot I want to tell you as a father-to-be."
And with that, they listened to Lis' advice for the next two hours about the story of her first pregnancy with Ramon and everything Hailee needed to know.
At this point, everything seemed perfectly normal, as if nothing complicated was waiting for them, and had Ramon not seen Lis at that hotel with a man from the Smith family, maybe Ramon wouldn't have a suspicious thought about her.
But no. He had seen Lis with the man named Leon and things didn't look the same, or even simple for that matter. Even the smile and laughter that Lis was showing right now felt fake.
There were many things bothering Ramon and this kept him from focusing on the conversation between Hailee and Lis.
What was the secret hidden in the four years he had forgotten? This situation started to get on his nerves… Ramon sensed that danger was lurking, but he didn't know where it was coming from…
================
…I'm not sure if it involves any serious feelings.
Those words kept ringing in Hailee's ears and made her heart feel warm. The incident during Aileen's wedding where she had to meet with Giana, was forgotten a little. Or, you could say that it didn't really bother Hailee.
Luckily Giana was in her right mind and wasn't looking to start a fuss with Hailee, nor was the shameless woman trying to get close to Ramon.
But, something else was bothering Hailee right now, namely the fact that Zia had an affair with Aidan. This was something Hailee didn't expect at all. Hailee wouldn't dare imagine such a sudden turn of events even in her wildest imaginations.
Hailee should talk to Zia about it. How far was their relationship and did Giana and Aidan's divorce have anything to do with their cousin? This unexpected information really bothered Hailee.
