Chapter 602 I FOUND IT!
Jayden wanted to facepalm himself when he saw how Apple's attitude took a drastic turn as she began to search seriously around this area of the room. She looked terrified, even panicked, but she couldn't be blamed either, because the ring was a legacy from the Tordoffs and she had lost it.Even though Apple didn't know about it, it seemed that Jayden's expression really described how he felt, so this girl looked scared because she knew she had screwed up.
Apple then crouched down and started looking for the ring, shaking her head from time to time, so she could stay focused, because she still felt a little dizzy.
Just at that moment, someone pressed the bell, seemingly someone from the hotel. A young man brought the first aid kit Jayden asked for. He delivered it to the man, but he could see a girl crouching on the floor.
But, he only caught a glimpse, because after that Jayden quickly closed the door and pulled Apple to her feet.
"Come here, you have to treat your wound first." Jayden didn't raise his voice at all. He could tell his men to look for the ring later, because if it had fallen in the room, it wouldn't be difficult to find it.
Jayden still remembered well that Apple was still holding the ring when he pulled her into the room. Maybe it was when he pressed her against the door that Apple forgot the ring and lost the little thing.
"No, I have to find it," Apple muttered. "You're mad."
"I am not angry." Jayden wasn't lying, he wasn't angry, he was just a little shocked when he heard the ring was missing, but he wasn't angry, for the reasons he mentioned earlier. He was sure that with the help of a few people, the ring could be found.
"No, you're mad…" Apple said in a low voice while still crawling on the floor looking for the ring.

Jayden then pulled Apple's hand gently, so that the girl would stand up, but his hand was pushed away and she was still trying to find the ring. Ignoring his words.
"You were angry. You were angry. I saw that you were angry earlier." Apple kept looking around her feet and near the door, but she couldn't find it.
In the end, Jayden knelt before Apple and cupped his hands around the girl's face. He then looked at her deeply.
"I'm not mad, I'm just surprised that the ring is missing. But, I'm not mad at you. I'll have people look for it tomorrow, okay?" said Jayden, staring intently at Apple. The girl looked sad when she heard that.
"I lost that pretty ring..." she whined. She looked at Jayden guiltily. "I accidentally lost it."
"No, you didn't lose it, we'll find it later, okay?" Jayden coaxed Apple, he then kissed the tip of the girl's nose and lips.
At least this way, Apple would be calmer and they could go back to bed, so Jayden could treat the wound on Apple's leg.
But, just moments later, Apple screeched and accidentally bit Jayden's lips in their kiss when she exclaimed in quite a loud voice.
"There! The ring is there!" she cried, pointing to a certain spot under the small shelf that was near the door. "There's the ring!"
Not only did Apple bite his lip when she shouted earlier, but she also pushed Jayden away as she tried to reach where she saw the ring.
Then quickly, Apple crouched beside the shelf and stretched her hand under the shelf to retrieve the ring she had lost earlier.
"Apple..." Jayden grumbled as he felt his lips hurt from being bitten by her. "You hurt me..."
However, Apple didn't seem to care about that, as she was more focused on the fact that she had found the ring and this made her very happy.
"Look! Look! Jayden, look at this!" she exclaimed cheerfully. "I found it!"
Apple raised her arms high and immediately jumped up and down. She then admired the ring, how the light reflected on the beautiful diamond and how the glow from the diamond seemed like a light of life to Apple.
"Okay, good job, good job," Jayden said, still half grumbling, but then he stood up and walked over to Apple.
At this point alone, Jayden already knew that he had messed up his plans to propose to Apple later. He just hoped that this girl would forget about this incident in the morning.
But, based on previous experience, it didn't seem like that would happen.
Last time, Apple could remember every detail so well, she even only needed a few moments to get all her memories back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTherefore, it was safe to say that Jayden's proposal plans had completely gone awry as Apple found the ring much sooner than he had intended her to.
This was not how Jayden imagined he would propose to Apple later.
"Look, this ring is so beautiful," Apple gushed as she held the ring high and smiled very sweetly. She looked like she was about to jump up and down with pleasure.
"Yes, the ring is beautiful, now bring the ring, I will keep it," said Jayden, he stretched out his hand to ask for the ring.
"No," Apple refused immediately.
"No?"
"I'll keep this ring, or you'll lose it again."
Jayden took a deep breath. "You lost the ring, not me," he corrected, but Apple paid no heed. "Okay, come here, let's treat your leg first, you can hold it."
Finally Jayden compromised and gently nudged Apple for her to follow him to the nearest couch, while Jayden knelt in front of her to treat her leg.
"I'll wear it so it doesn't get lost."
"No!"
But, Jayden was too late, because the ring was stuck on Apple's finger.
