'After Ramon and I cradled our first grandchild?!' Did Giana hear correctly? How could that girl say such a shameless thing?!

Giana felt as if her blood was boiling. She growled in annoyance and slammed her fists against the balcony trellis, hurting her own hands in the process.

However, the pain was still overwhelmed by the annoyance she felt toward Hailee. How could that girl humiliate her like this?! She even blatantly said that her marriage to Ramon would last forever!

Cradled the first grandchild?!

Giana was furious. She cursed Ramon's accident that made the man lose his memories. He lost all memories of herself, their memories and also all the promises and plans they had made.

All of that would end just like that if Ramon married Hailee and didn't get his memories back.

Because Giana was sure, when Ramon got his memories back, he would definitely come back to her.

"Hey, I just wanted to tell you that Ramon left with that woman," Dillon said, he suddenly appeared behind the door that led to the balcony, with his hands crossed and his eyes looking straight at Giana. "How long do you want to wait here?" he asked neglecting the fierce look he was getting from Giana.

==============

After a short chat, which was quite annoying and emotionally draining, with Giana, Hailee decided to meet Ramon to urge him to take her home.

It was just that, when she walked toward the man, Hailee saw that Ramon was in a serious conversation with the four people around him and her anger subsided immediately.

Hailee felt bad about disturbing him, so she chose to calm down by going somewhere else. Perhaps, spending an hour or two wandering around the hotel would help her neutralize the anger she was feeling right now.

It was just that Hailee didn't have time to carry out her brilliant plan when Ramon called out to her.

"My love."

My love?

Hailee frowned. She was sure it was Ramon's voice, but not sure if the words were directed at her.

My love?

Who is he calling? Waiter? Business friend? A woman he knows? It seemed that out of the many possibilities, none of them made sense, so there was no other person whom Ramon could address with the words 'my love', besides herself.

Hesitantly, Hailee turned around with a frown in confusion and the frown deepened as Ramon returned to using those confusing words again.

"My love, come here ..." Ramon nodded at Hailee while looking straight at her, indicating that he was indeed talking to her.

Wow, this was such a surprised, but hearing the way he called her made Hailee blushed and flustered at the same time.

Hailee's eyes widened and she asked a question without makingany sound. Ramon could only read it from the movement of her lips.

'Me?' Hailee moved her lips, forming the word while raising her eyebrows in a gesture of asking, if Ramon had mistaken her for someone else.

"Yes, come here." This time Ramon's voice was firmer, he also stretched out his hand for Hailee to reach out, signaling that she was the person he was calling for.

Hearing that, instinctively, Hailee walked over to Ramon, wondering if maybe Ramon had drunk too much that he called her 'my love'.

It was a rare occasion.

In fact, Hailee didn't mind the endearment at all and even liked it because it sounded very romantic and melodious to the ear.

It's just that Hailee didn't want to let her hopes sore up too high, because after all, they were in a public place and Ramon tends to act a lot cuter when lots of people are watching them.

"Is this the lucky woman who has won the heart of the great Ramon Tordoff?" Asked a man with gray hair, he smiled very kindly at Hailee and looked like a lovely grandfather.

However, Hailee wouldn't be careless in his presence. Regardless of that first impression, she knew that the four people beside Ramon, were not just very simple.

"I am a lucky man to conquer her heart," Ramon said politely, making Hailee's heart pound.

Ugh!

The words sounded too real in her ears. It almost sounded as if Ramon was saying it from the bottom of his heart.

"There is nothing that you have to conquer my love, because I have liked you from the very beginning," Hailee replied to Ramon's words with a sweet smile on her lips and clasped his hand tightly, as if they were the happiest young couple in the world.

Well, two people can play the same game, right? If Ramon really wants to show the 'sweet' side of their relationship, Hailee has no objection.

It's just ... she seemed to have to keep her heart from fluttering like this when Ramon treated her so sweetly. This was not very good for the continuity of their relationship.

This relationship between them is very unusual, and it would be hard for Hailee if she got carriedaway too much, while Ramon just saw it as a show.

However, it would be hard to do that if Ramon kept staring at her like she was the most beautiful woman at the party tonight as he wrapped his arms around Hailee's slender waist so that there was no distance between them.

"You are too kind," Ramon replied to Hailee's 'humble' words and landed a quick kiss on Hailee's cheek, as a token of appreciation for being so responsive in this small role playing and following Ramon's play. "Didn't you say you felt a little dizzy earlier?"

Eh?

What is this? A plot twist?

When did Hailee ever say that she felt dizzy? Unless Ramon could read her mind. She did feel dizzy after meeting Giana and chatting with that woman, but Ramon couldn't possibly know about that.

"Oh, yeah ... I guess, I need some fresh air ..." Hailee tried to keep up with Ramon in his unexpected game. She only hoped that her answer didn't spoil any of the plans that were in this man's head.

"I will accompany you then," Ramon said to Hailee and without waiting for an approval from the girl beside him, he immediately turned his attention to the four people in front of him and with a polite smile, Ramon resigned to accompany Hailee. "I think I have to go."

The four men laughed. They were old and seemed to have had a grandchild or two, making Ramon the youngest of them.

"Go on, your woman is most important."

"She must be feeling stressed because your wedding is taking place next week."

"Yes, of course she will be stressed, because the one she is marrying is Ramon Tordoff."

To the third man's comment, Hailee didn't really understand what he meant, but she still smiled, despite her confusion in responding to them.

"Then we will excuse ourselves," Ramon said, nodding at them and pulling Hailee away, before anyone could hold them back.

Hailee did the same and the two of them walked away from the four men.

"Where are we going?" Hailee asked in a low voice, as if someone around them could hear that.

Meanwhile, Ramon's arms were still wrapped around Hailee's waist, making her feel good.

"Home,"Ramon replied curtly.

"Home? But, the party ..." Only then, did Hailee realize something, she then hit Ramon's stomach lightly and could feel the muscles writhing under her shirt.

Ugh! Wrong move!

Hailee ignored her thoughts that were starting to imagine the interesting things under his shirt, and returned to the things she just realized just a moment ago.

"Don't tell me you are using me as an excuse for you to run away from those old folks' talk?" Hailee glared, staring at Ramon in disbelief. She could see Ramon wrinkling his nose, displeased with the terms Hailee was using.

"I didn't run away, I just ended the conversation with them in a nice way," Ramon said. He was clearly defending himself.

"But, you used me," Hailee still protested. Until when would this man continue to use her?

Hearing that, Ramon stopped walking suddenly and almost made Hailee stumble on her high heels, but luckily, Ramon caught her body just in time and stabilized her. After that, Ramon crossed his arms and showed a defiant expression, which looked sexy in Hailee's eyes.

"So, you want to stay here?" Ramon asked. "We can go back there and spend the next few hours discussing the project they are going to offer me ..."

Hearing those words, Hailee winced. Ramon knew very well that Hailee did not like such topics.

"No, no thanks. Let's go home soon, my love," Hailee used Ramon's words to call out to him, then took the man's arm tenderly. "Let's go home. I just met Giana and my head is really dizzy."

Ramon frowned at the mention of Giana's name.

"What did you talk to her about?" He asked as they crossed the hall that was still packed with guests.

"Let's talk about this in the car," Hailee mumbled.

After all, this isn't small talk that they could discuss as they were surrounded by people, right?

And Ramon agreed as he pulled out his cell phone to call Charles to pick them up in the north lobby, because he didn't want to attract too much attention by leaving the party early.

==============

After arriving at the car, it seemed like Hailee was still not in a good mood and it seemed, whatever she talked to Giana wasn't anything fun.

Well, that was predictable actually ...

Remembering their first meeting which did not go smoothly and was filled with bursts of irritation between the two camps.

Therefore, Ramon did not immediately ask Hailee about their chat and waited for herto open up on her own accord.

It's just that, even after thirty minutes of their journey, only silence prevailed in the car. Hailee finally couldn't stand it any longer and threw an annoyed glare at Ramon.

Even though the girl did not speak, her intense gaze certainly disturbed Ramon, even more so because the man was very sensitive to such gazes.

So, he finally turned his attention to Hailee, who now looked like a little cat ready to scratch anyone who dared upset her even more than this.

"What?" Ramon asked in a hoarse voice, he seemed to have drunk too much earlier, so now he was starting to feel the effects.

However, Ramon felt that it seemed like his tolerance for alcohol had greatly diminished, because if he remembered it correctly, he was not like this before.

Had he not touched alcohol in the last four years until a few glasses made him feel tipsy? This was so strange to happen to him...

"You didn't ask me what happened between me and Giana?" Hailee asked in an annoyed tone.
