"You won a big project?" Misha tried to guess, while holding back his sleepiness and annoyance since his cousin called him in the middle of the night, but Jayden said that his guess was way off the mark and asked him to guess again.
"You can do better," Jayden said excitedly. "You can guess it, I'll give you a bonus if you guess it."
Misha had no idea what Jayden had in mind until he could think that giving him a bonus would make him feel a bit excited about playing this stupid guessing game.
Did he forget that the shares they have were the same? And money was never an issue for either of them? How could Jayden think that giving him a bonus would interest Misha?
"You know what time it is?!" Misha snapped as he grumbled, annoyed. "Stop telling me to guess, just tell me what's the matter?" he grumbled.
While on the other hand, Jayden was grumbling when he heard Misha's reaction. "Can't you be a little excited for me?"
"I would cheer you up if I knew what was the reason you woke me up in the middle of the night and made me guess unnecessarily!" Misha replied annoyed. He grunted and then pushed himself into a sitting position. "Now tell me what's wrong?" he asked.
"You certainly wouldn't have guessed this."
Misha groaned again. "Stop asking me to guess."
"I have a child! I am having a child!" said Jayden excitedly, he then waited for a response from his cousin, but there was no sound at all from the other end of the phone.
Jayden then looked at his phone, thinking that the line had been cut, but no, they were still on the phone, so why didn't Misha answer him? Or give any response?
"Hey, are you still there? Are you sleeping?" Jayden asked, thinking that Misha had fallen asleep at the very moment he announced that he had a child just like Misha. "Hey? You didn't fall asleep, did you? Cousin… yuh…"
"Who has your child?" Misha asked, he sounded very serious.
And after the question, there was a very clear silence between the two of them until finally Jayden realized what Misha's question meant.
"Of course Apple, she's pregnant with my child right now," Jayden said excitedly and half nagged at Misha, it seemed his cousin was still asleep and his brain cells weren't fully awake yet, that he actually asked such an obvious question.
"You didn't make it clear," Misha grumbled again. He thought that Jayden had a child with a woman other than Apple.
"Don't compare me to you, we are so much different, how can you compare me to you," Jayden grumbled. "I've never fooled around like you did."
The rumors out there were indeed annoying. They painted him as someone who liked to change partners constantly just because he was more easy going than Misha, while the reality was quite the opposite.
"Congratulations on Apple's pregnancy," said Misha, he didn't sound enthusiastic, but what do you expect from this man? He rarely showed his emotions. "So how's Apple now?"
"She's fine, she's asleep right now, we just came from the doctor after confirming the news. I can't believe that her desire to eat calamari is because she is having cravings," Jayden said very excitedly, he was like a teenager talking about his crush right now with Misha.
"How does it feel to fulfill those cravings?" Misha asked for more details. He looked much more awake than earlier. His eyes looked much more radiant than before.
"It feels… I don't know… I don't know, but I'm glad I was able to fulfill her wishes," Jayden told him. "I feel like if Apple wants the café, then I'll buy it for her."
While on the other hand, Misha could not continue listening to Jayden's chatter as he imagined who had fulfilled that woman's cravings when she was pregnant with his own child.
Hearing Jayden say how happy he was to fulfill Apple's wishes, Misha was bitter that he couldn't do that for his daughter and the woman while she was pregnant.
And suddenly the line was cut off because Misha didn't want to hear Jayden's excited voice anymore.
"Hmm? Hello? Misha?" Jayden called out to Misha in confusion. He stared at his phone screen in bewilderment and when he tried to call his cousin back, out of the corner of his eye he saw someone moving toward him and this immediately alerted him.
Without thinking, Jayden took the nearest knife, thinking that someone had sneaked into this house again, but it turned out to be Pyro. He seemed to have woken up and wanted to get a drink.
"You surprised me," Jayden said, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the knife back down.
Pyro didn't need his wheelchair anymore, but he still couldn't walk as fast as a normal person.
"Don't put down the knife," said Pyro in a cold voice.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Jayden looked at Pyro in confusion, but he kept the knife away from him.
"Take the knife back, because I might kill you," Pyro growled as he said that.
On the other hand, Jayden looked confused by Pyro's attitude, but then reality hit him and this made Jayden's whole body freeze, as if someone had just splashed him with cold water and this made him really realize what he had just done.
"You… overheard my conversation with Misha…" Jayden didn't even need to ask about this, because the answer was very clear from the look on Pyro's face. He had heard everything Jayden said to Misha over the phone.
Even more so since Pyro confirmed it himself.
"Apple is pregnant and that is your child?" Pyro growled, his eyes looking very sharp as he said coldly. "You have impregnated my daughter."
Instinctively, Jayden moved away from Pyro as the man walked toward him with swift steps, as if his pain had disappeared somewhere.
"You got my only daughter pregnant," Pyro grumbled again, trying to catch up with Jayden.
