BICKERING IN FRONT OF THE BEDROOM

"Everyone is here?"

Suddenly Lis's voice was heard in the middle of their meal and Hailee stood stunned in the middle of her argument with Lexus, with the spoon held high in her hand.

When Hailee's eyes caught Lis's figure, she gasped and immediately lowered her hand, focusing on the food on her plate. This actually made Lexus laugh.

"Hey, why are you being as quiet as a rabbit now?" Lexus teased as he took another piece of meat, while Ramon just stared at the girl in front of him who was now eating silently.

Lis then stepped closer and sat beside Hailee, opposite Ramon. "You are having dinner."

Lis came to this house because neither Ramon, Hailee or Lexus, whom she told to check on Ramon, picking up her phone calls. So, Lis decided to see what happened to these children.

"These are all made by Hailee," said Lexus proudly, as if he had cooked all of this, then he went back to eat voraciously.

"Is it true?" Lis raised her eyebrows in disbelief. She had never met a single girl, at Hailee's age, who could whip-up something edible in the kitchen. "Is it true that you cooked Hailee?"

"Yes, of course. Ramon and I saw her cooking with our own eyes," replied Lexus, who then took another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth shamelessly.

Lis looked at Ramon, but her eldest son didn't even look at her and only focused on the food on his plate. In fact, Ramon was very selective when it came to food, especially because he had allergies to certain types of food and not all foods match his overly sensitive tongue.

Because she didn't get a response from Ramon, so Liz had to turn her attention to Hailee.

"So, this is all cooked by you?" asked Lis. She still couldn't believe Lexus's words, but why would her son lie?

"Yes," Hailee replied shyly. Ramon then asked a waiter to place one more set of cutlery for his mother, while Hailee put a few pieces of shrimp and vegetables on her plate. "Give it a try," muttered Hailee.

Actually, Lis had eaten before coming here, but since this was the dish made by her prospective daughter-in-law, it wouldn't hurt if she tried.

And her eyes widened in disbelief as the tender and juicy flesh touched her taste buds. The texture of the meat was very fitting with the sauce that it was so tempting. Lis had eaten something like this before, but of course it was the work of a famous chef, while Hailee…

Lis turned to look at the girl next to her who was smiling waiting for her comment.

"How is it? Delicious, right?" asked Lexus knowingly upon seeing his mother's surprised expression. The man chuckled as Lis tried to clear her throat in an attempt to return to her calm demeanor.

"Delicious," Lis replied which made Hailee grin happily. "Where did you learn to cook?"

"Self-taught," said Hailee, she then poured a drink into Lis' glass and added other foods, so that this Mrs. Tordoff could taste. "I like to eat, so I got interested in trying too."

"I too like to eat, but I can't cook," said Lexus, who was now receiving a disapproving look from Hailee. If only Lis wasn't there, then the two of them would have argued again. "Supposedly, if you have came to this house from the start when you two decided to be together, I could have got the chance to enjoy your cooking earlier."

Hailee pursed her lips and it made Lexus tease her again.

After that, the dinner party became louder than the previous nights that the Tordoffs had, thanks to Hailee and Lexus' bickering that livened up the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Lis saw how relaxed Hailee was in the midst of this family and how Lexus received this young girl so quickly.

On the other hand, Ramon, who usually liked to maintain calm while eating, didn't seem to be bothered by the endless chatter between Lexus and Hailee.

Smiling, Lis went back to eating the shrimp pieces from her plate. It seemed that her decision to force her will to match Ramon with the women of her choice was a wrong decision.

This time, Lis only hoped that Hailee could accompany Ramon well in the future.

"Ramon!" Hailee called out his name in a slightly irritated voice. "Open the door!" this time she slammed her fist against Ramon's bedroom door even harder.

Hailee had been standing in front of Ramon's door for ten minutes, but the man still hadn't opened the door.

After dinner, Ramon immediately returned to his room because he felt tired and after Liz and Lexus left, Hailee also intended to return to the room, but she got a call from Liz who reminded her that Ramon had not taken his medicines yet.

To be honest, Hailee didn't really care. After all, Ramon was an adult, he should know not to miss the timing for taking his medicines. But, there was no way she could say that out loud.

So, being a good fiancé and to do justice for her so called disguise as Ramon's lover, Hailee lied by saying that she would be preparing the relevant medicines. Lis sounded happy when Hailee said it.

So, from now on, Hailee had to remind herself to remind Ramon that he should take his medicine regularly.

However, one of the reasons Hailee actually didn't dare to care about Ramon's health was because she didn't want Ramon to regain his lost memories too soon.

It sounds evil, but Hailee couldn't stop thinking about what would happen to her if the lie she originally used to save herself became a boomerang and came back for her.

"Ramon!" This time Hailee kicked Ramon's bedroom door in annoyance, making the maid who was standing behind her, carrying a tray filled with Ramon's medicine and a glass of mineral water, surprised and held her breath seeing Hailee's behavior change drastically. "Open the door!!"

Having said that, the door to Ramon's bedroom violently burst open and revealed the figure of a man wearing only a towel around his waist with wet hair.

"What!?" shouted Ramon too. He was taking a shower when he heard a commotion in front of his room and immediately found out that it was Hailee. Ramon thought Hailee would leave if he let her be, but who would have thought that this girl was determined to break down the door of his room?

Hailee was surprised when the door to the room suddenly opened, especially when she saw Ramon who was half naked with droplets of water dripping from his hair.

Ugh! He looks hot!

No. No. Hailee shook her head to think clearly. "You just finished taking a shower?" Hailee asked stupidly, but if you think about it, why did Ramon have to take a bath in the middle of the night? "I'm here to bring you your medicine. You haven't taken medicine yet, have you? "

"Come in," said Ramon.

Hha?Excuse me?
