"So? How about Aileen's condition now? Are she and her baby okay?" Hailee asked with concern.
Theodore who heard the question gritted his teeth hard. Not because he was angry with Hailee, but because he had been so stupid until he fell into Aileen's trap.
He should have insisted on having Aileen checked for pregnancy and didn't just believe her blindly. Isn't all the evidence clear that that woman is so manipulative? But, again Theodore ignored all the signs he came across and had been led by his nose.
"Theodore?" Hailee called his name while staring lazily at her manicured fingernails. She was waiting for another call, well Hailee was still hoping that Ian would call her, therefore, if Theodore was just wasting her time by being silent like this, Hailee was better off just hanging up the phone.
"Oh, sorry…" Theodore said hastily. He then shook his head to shake off the distracting thoughts and returned to focus on Hailee. "I've already called a team of doctors to check on Aileen at home and called her home without informing her of this, so I'm sure she won't have any reason to dodge."
Hailee raised her eyebrows and smiled happily. It was true what Ramon said about letting the Gevano family handle Aileen's issue, so Hailee didn't have to bother wasting time or getting her hands dirty.
"Good," Hailee said curtly. Then silence fell over them both.
If Hailee was impatient with what else Theodore was going to say, then the man was actually nervous because he was talking to Hailee right now. He wanted to say a lot of things, but didn't know where to start.
"So why did you call me?" Hailee finally broke the silence between the two of them by asking the question.
"Oh," Theodore stuttered. He felt stupid, just like a teenager who was secretly calling the girl he liked. "I just wanted to tell you about this."
Hailee fell silent, surprised at the unexpected answer, but a second later her laughter could be heard. "You don't need to report that to me Theodore. I don't need to hear it."
Hailee could not understand what made Theodore assume that she wanted to know what was going on in his domestic life with Aileen. Had she given the wrong impression?
"I thought you wanted to know," Theodore replied quietly, then he added. "Even though you are with Ramon, but you still think about me, I just want to thank you for that."
Wait. Wait. Wait…
Hailee blinked her eyes as her brain tried to process the information she had just received; So Theodore thought she sent the video because Hailee wanted to save that bastard from Aileen?
What kind of misunderstanding was this?
"Listen Theodore, whatever you think now about the reason I gave the video to you was a huge mistake, so stop thinking that way." Hailee shook her head. She couldn't understand how she could be engaged to a man who only thought about himself and acted like the whole world revolved around him. "Aileen is my target, not you. I want to see her at her worst for what she has done to my family. So throw away those stupid thoughts of yours that depict I still have feelings for you."
"Hailee…" Theodore was about to say something, but Hailee didn't want to hear him at all.
