Chapter 641 PETTY REVENGE
Apple couldn't understand how Jayden thought that he could keep a public figure like Mateo captive.Of course, people would start asking if he went missing and if this matter led back to Jayden, of course this man would be in trouble, especially if Mateo found out that he had been 'kidnapped' by Jayden Tordoff.
Sometimes, Apple really didn't understand Jayden.
"Let them stay the night," Jayden grumbled. "I gave the two of them a room."
"No, you will be in trouble if you kidnap a public figure like Mateo Sullivan," Apple grumbled.
"Ah, I forgot about that…" Jayden said very casually, as if he didn't really care about that fact and this made Apple feel a little suspicious.
It was impossible for Jayden Tordoff who was used to thinking through all plans very carefully and even always taking into account every detail of his plans to forget this factor very casually.
"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" asked Apple wide-eyed in disbelief. "You did it on purpose, right?" she asked again to confirm this and this made Jayden try to avoid her eyes and focus on the game on his cellphone. "Hey, I am asking you."
"I am playing a game," he said quietly.
However, there was no way that Jayden would rather focus on his game than listen to Apple, so she could say that what Jayden said was just an excuse so he didn't have to answer Apple's questions.
"Okay, if you don't want to answer my questions, I won't ask you again," Apple said threateningly, feeling ignored.
Immediately, Jayden put down his phone and pouted while looking at the girl beside him.
"I am just going to teach him a little lesson," Jayden said in a pitiful voice. "A little lesson." Jayden pinched his index finger and thumb together, a hair's breadth apart, trying to let Apple know this wasn't a big deal.
"On the grounds?" asked Apple again. She tilted her head and looked at Jayden who was sitting next to her.
Apple raised an eyebrow when Jayden didn't answer her question and instead mumbled something incoherent.
"Jayden?"
"Apple." And when he saw that his fiancée was waiting for an answer from him, Jayden sighed and said quietly. "You are really not going to let me go, are you?" he grumbled.

"I don't like seeing you take pictures with him," Jayden said. "I don't even have a picture with you," he said irritably.
Yes, after realizing this, Jayden became quite annoyed when he realized that he did not have a photo of himself with Apple.
How come the two of them never took a picture together and it never occurred to Jayden to take a photo of Apple either?
Because for Jayden, whenever he missed this girl, he would simply go to her. After all, he would rather look at her in person than look at her photo.
It was just that, when he saw how Apple took a photo with Mateo, he felt a little annoyed.
Well, especially with the romantic concept that was being insinuated in the photos.
"You're so childish," Apple said, frowning.
"Come here, take a picture with me," Jayden said enthusiastically, he then picked up his phone and was about to take a photo of the two of them, but before that he took a photo of Apple alone.
However, when Jayden aimed his phone camera at the girl, she actually made an ugly face while sticking out her tongue and rolling her eyes.
But, Jayden didn't stop and kept taking photos of Apple.
After that, Jayden took some photos of the two of them and looked more cheerful, he even whistled when he saw the photos.
"Oh, I have a very beautiful fiancée," he said, kissing Apple on the cheek.
"Okay, enough, let's go and immediately save those poor souls," said Apple, who kissed Jayden back before pressing her lips to his head, then stood up from the bench.
"Why? Let them be for another hour," Jayden sulked.
========================
By the time they got there, it was past midnight and Apple felt a great discomfort in her body. She was feeling very tired and Jayden could see this.
"You can wait in the car or we can just go home and not have to come here. If you're worried about them, I'll send someone to take them back to their houses," Jayden said. His brow furrowed when he saw Apple's tired face.
They didn't have to come here and do this.
"No," Apple answered quietly. "I have something to tell Ivan for a moment." There was indeed something she needed to discuss with Ivan in private. "Could you move them into separate rooms?" she asked.
"Okay," said Jayden, who then told Adrian to do what Apple asked.
Adrian quickly made arrangements and put Ivan and Mateo in separate rooms because Apple wanted to talk about something private with Ivan.
Just when they had reached there and entered the building, they could hear Mateo's voice screaming in terror because he was separated from Ivan.
"He doesn't have to cry like that, does he?" Jayden said with a frown. "I didn't even hurt him at all."
Jayden seemed to be answering Apple's unspoken question, as he could see from the way she was looking at himself. This girl was questioning the male model's safety.
"Okay, I'm just interrogating him, but that's just to make it look like he's really being kidnapped," Jayden said, trying to justify himself.
"Jayden," Apple called his name in a very cold tone of voice and this made the man grin, feeling guilty for his actions.
"I am sorry, I got carried away," he said quietly.
And after that, because Jayden didn't want to receive complaints and protests from Apple anymore, he immediately left with the excuse that he had to check something and Apple could go see Ivan and Mateo with Adrian.
"He's so childish," Apple said. She shook her head.
"Yes, but he only acts like that with you," said Adrian, confirming what Apple said. He looked like he couldn't understand how Jayden Tordoff could be so petty when it came to Apple.
"Yeah, I guess I'm a bad influence on him," she mumbled, but Adrian just laughed when he heard this and this made Apple turn to him. "What's wrong with that?"
"You make him more relaxed," said Adrian. "You're indeed a bad influence, maybe." He shrugged nonchalantly. "But I think he is much better now than he used to be."
Apple scowled, she frowned when she heard that statement. "I haven't seen a big change in him since the first time I met him."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIndeed, there were no major changes, however, Apple was always surprised by the changes in Jayden's attitude and also his personality that could change in a relatively short time.
"Because I saw him much longer than you," said Adrian, which was true. It could be said that Adrian had been following Jayden for more or less the last decade. "He used to be too tense and calculating. He does laugh and chat casually with other people, but you will never see him so relaxed and calm or taking a petty revenge like he is doing now with that model guy."
Apple and Adrian walked to the room where they held Ivan. This was an old building where bodyguard candidates as well as bodyguards for the Tordoff family were trained. Apple was here once and met Adrian for the first time.
"It looks childish, but Mr. Tordoff in the past, wouldn't have cared about such a petty revenge. All he knows is hard revenge," Adrian smirked.
And those words made Apple laugh a little. The two of them then stood in front of a door, where Ivan was waiting inside.
Adrian then gave two keys to Apple. "Here's the key for this room and here's the key for the other room."
After explaining this, Adrian walked away, leaving Apple alone there.
The girl certainly didn't need a guard to meet Ivan. If she could enter the enemy's den without fear and stroll there alone, of course facing Ivan and Mateo later would not be a big problem.
After receiving the key, Apple then inserted it into the keyhole and opened the door, where Ivan immediately stood up from his seat.
This room was not so narrow, but only filled with a table and two chairs and a slightly dim lamp above it.
"Apple!" Ivan exclaimed in disbelief, he then immediately rushed to Apple and tried to hug her.
Only, Apple held up her hand and made the man stop running toward her.
"Don't come near me Ivan, I don't know what I will do to you if you come close to me. I'm really mad at you right now," Apple said in a snarling voice and this made Ivan stop where he was and stare at her sheepishly.
"I'm sorry Apple," Ivan said sincerely. "I didn't know that you would be kidnapped like that nor did I know that you would be taken away by them. They just said they wanted to talk to you, that's all."
"Stop talking about bullshit such as 'they only wanted to talk to you'. I will not buy it!" Apple growled at him in a deep voice. "And what did you get from them? A lot of money to give your girlfriend, Rachel, the dream wedding she wants?"
Ivan bowed his head solemnly when he heard that, but had nothing to say except a soft 'yes'.
