Chapter 529 WHY YOU DON'T LIKE ME?
Apple certainly didn't let go of the knife in her hand, but on the contrary, she couldn't possibly stab Jayden either. This was just an empty threat and Jayden himself knew it.
However, what was unexpected was what Jayden did afterward.
Jayden leaned forward quickly and startled Apple. "What are you doing?!" she exclaimed in surprise. Instinctively, she removed the knife from before her, so that the sharp edge wouldn't stab the madman.
However, Jayden grabbed her wrist very fast and twisted the knife from her hand swiftly and now, the knife was in his hand. He put the knife back on the table, out of Apple's reach.
And before Apple could protest about how crazy his actions were, Jayden had leaned in to kiss her lips.
Of course this left Apple surprised as she did not expect for him to steal a kiss from her again.
However, this kiss was only fleeting and Jayden pulled himself back almost immediately, he chuckled a little when he saw Apple's facial expression now and also the changes that followed after.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtApple's facial expression changed from being surprised to annoyed. She was about to stand up and get angry at Jayden, but the man had said it first.
"Honey, why don't we talk about this more calmly?" Jayden said in a light tone to calm Apple who was about to explode in anger over what Jayden had just done. "How about we assume what I did just broke even? You kissed me unannounced, even threatened me with a knife… you can't imagine how sad I am." Jayden even feigned a sad face.
Seeing that, Apple rolled her eyes dramatically. She knew that no one would get hurt. She couldn't have stabbed Jayden for real and, although Apple never tried to fight him one-on-one, she knew that Jayden was a lot better at fighting than he had shown.
"Yeah, I can see the tears in your eyes," Apple grumbled sarcastically and this made Jayden laugh. He then rang the bell on the table, informing him that the waiters could deliver their food now.
"Let's eat first, okay? I'm so hungry, I haven't even had breakfast yet. After eating, then we can discuss this matter, okay?" Jayden persuaded Apple.
"Okay, I'm hungry too," Apple said in a defeated tone. She'd spent the entire morning feeling annoyed with Jayden, so it wasn't unusual for her to feel like she needed something to eat after spending all her energy in vain.
And after the food came, they both ate peacefully. Even though nothing was said and every now and then Apple would find Jayden looking at him smiling, Apple just tried to ignore him.
Jayden even peeled the prawns for her or deboned the fish and placed the meat in Apple's bowl. He looked very attentive and this left Apple constantly frowning.
"You should take care of your own food, don't bother with mine," Apple said.
"I am done eating, you have been eating for a long time. I have nothing to do but wait for you to finish," Jayden replied casually.
"Oh," Apple murmured.
It was true that Jayden had finished eating earlier and it seemed that not only was Apple eating longer than Jayden, but she was also eating a lot more than him, so of course she took longer than the man.
Ugh! What else could she do? Apple was hungry and the food at this restaurant is very good. Besides, you shouldn't be wasting food, right? i????????rℯ????????. ????o????
Apple tried to concentrate on her food instead.
And after he finished eating and the waiters came to clear the table and serve the dessert, the chocolate pudding that Jayden knew Apple liked, only then did he start this conversation.
"I know you are upset about the announcement I made to publicize our relationship, but why don't you give me a chance?" Jayden asked. "We can date for three months and after that, you can decide whether you want to continue this relationship or not?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmApple narrowed her eyes. Whenever Jayden said something like this, she always felt insecure about herself and her family background.
"Why don't you just choose a woman from your circle?" she said in a cold voice, for she had thought of the worst that she would hear.
Jayden gave her a look. "Because there is no one like you," he said lightly and sounded like he was teasing Apple, so she didn't know if Jayden was serious about his answer or not. "They don't know how to fight like you or sneak into a company to get their important data."
"You should just marry a spy," Apple said.
"Well, I like you. We hit it off from the first time we met."
"You mean the first time I met you and pointed a gun at you?" Apple asked because she remembered the first time they met was when they were in the hospital and Pyro was injured.
At that time, Apple pointed a gun at Jayden. Did Jayden feel compatible with her at that time? Because Apple pointed a gun? Very hard to believe.
Jayden laughed when he heard this. "Come to think of it, you've pointed a gun and a knife at me, what are you going to point next time?"
Apple grumbled incoherently, but didn't answer the silly question.
"So, you agree, don't you? I can make an amazing boyfriend and I can guarantee that." Jayden then leaned over and whispered to Apple. "And I can confirm that I can be much better than that ex of yours."
Apple scoffed, but said nothing. She was curious enough about what Jayden did to her ex and former best friend, but not curious enough to ask now.
"Now, I want to ask you a question," Jayden said, this time he looked at Apple seriously. "Why don't you want to be with me? I am a good catch you know. Handsome, established, kind, has a good personality, rich… you name it. So, why do you keep rejecting me?"
