Chapter 524 FATHER IN LAW
"The relationship between us is true. She is my lover."
Apple's jaw dropped when she heard that. She couldn't believe that Jayden would say such a thing and with an innocent expression on his face.
"What the hell…" Apple muttered in disbelief as she stared at Jayden on the television screen. After saying that, he nodded curtly and simply walked away, disappearing behind the curtain, leaving the chaos there, without giving any further explanation.
The other three who were there then closed the very brief press conference and left, not even saying anything else or giving any other explanation.
"Just like that? Why would he say such a thing?" Apple then turned her attention to Misha who didn't look at all surprised at what had happened just now. How could Misha not have any reaction?
Apple felt her head spinning really fast right now and wasn't sure what she had just witnessed.
"How could that be? Why did he just say that we were in a relationship?" Apple asked Misha.
"You should have guessed this already," Misha said casually, he even said it while typing away something on his laptop.
"How could I possibly guess? I thought he would tell the truth."
This time Misha closed his laptop and turned all her attention to Apple who was still staring at him in disbelief.

"Congratulations for what?" Apple sounded a little curt, she looked at Misha sharply.
"I don't think you will be able to dodge it anymore now." Misha then stood up. "Maybe I should consider you as my cousin- in- law from now on."
"Hey!" Apple cried. "Your joke is not funny at all."
Misha then tilted his head and looked at Apple very seriously. "I am not joking right now," he said lightly.
He knew that Jayden would have a thousand and one ways to take down Apple and whatever it was, he had all the criteria needed.
Jayden has enough patience, strategy and experience to handle a woman. Coupled with his wealth and status, what else can be used as a complaint material?
Maybe Apple doesn't accept it now, but eventually, she will come around.
"Why don't you just try the relationship between the two of you? Nobody knows if it will work or not, right?" Misha asked as he took the documents on the table and walked away from inside the office.
Apple was still frowning, still sitting in the same place staring at the television screen which presented some follow- up news about the relationship between Apple and Jayden as well as some comments from the public.
"Besides, what are you afraid of?" Misha asked before he left the room and closed the door behind him.
Yes, what is Apple afraid of? Apple wasn't really scared, she just didn't feel confident enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Jayden. Because after all their family backgrounds are very different.
Also, Apple was still not sure if Jayden was serious about this relationship and his words, because as many people say, he was quite a playboy. He can get any woman he wants, so why Apple?
Apple didn't want to be offended….
=====================
"Apple isn't picking up my calls," Jayden whined at Pyro who was driving beside him. He looked at his phone screen with sad eyes. "Why won't she pick up any calls from me?"
Seeing Jayden's current behavior, Pyro could only sigh and suppress the urge not to yell at him and make him understand this easiest thing.
Of course Apple didn't want to take his calls. He had announced the unexpected and forced their relationship.
"I'm going to stay over at your house to persuade Apple to talk to me again," Jayden stated.
Hearing this, Pyro frowned in confusion and then turned the steering wheel and turned toward the road back to the Tordoffs' house.
"Hey, I said I wanted to stay at your house," Jayden exclaimed as soon as he realized where Pyro was taking him.
"When you're staying over at someone's house, you should be asking for permission, not making a statement as if it's your own home," Pyro complained.

But, it's just, in this case it feels very different. That's not what Pyro meant. He didn't notice it at all.
Pyro really wants to facepalm himself at this point.
"That's different."
"What is the difference?"
"When I say it's different, it's different."
Jayden mumbled something and then took Pyro's cell phone from his pocket which made the man widen his eyes.
"What are you doing?" Pyro asked when he saw Jayden had managed to unlock the passcode to his cell phone's lock. "How did you know my cell phone password?"
"You are quite a boring guy, you use Apple's birthday for your password. It doesn't take a genius to guess," Jayden said casually, as if his words didn't irritate Pyro at all.
On the other hand, Pyro glanced away from the highway and shot Jayden an annoyed look, but alas, this man didn't take it seriously at all and didn't pay any attention when he looked up the name Apple in Pyro's phone contacts.
"That's an invasion of privacy," Pyro grumbled.
"Well, we have passed that, father in law." Jayden waved his hand at Pyro, as if the words he just said were the usual thing to say.
Pyro was about to hit the brakes deeply when he heard the words 'father in law' from Jayden's lips.
"You are making me cringe," Pyro grimaced.
"You have to get used to it," Jayden replied, but when Pyro was about to interrupt again, he put his finger to his own lips, signaling for Pyro to stop talking.
