Chapter 503 SHE BIT ME!
Chapter 503 SHE BIT ME!
Only, when Apple opened the door to her room, she came face to face with her father who had just returned from the kitchen. It looked like he had just taken a drink.
"What is it?" Pyro asked when he saw Apple's surprised face, but then his expression changed when he saw the figure behind his daughter.
Pyro left his room feeling thirsty, wanting to get a drink for himself, but when he looked at the sofa in front of the television, he didn't find Jayden there. Last night, the man said he would sleep in the living room because he was too tired to go home.
At first, of course Pyro offered the young Tordoff his room to sleep, because after all he was the boss, so there was no way he would let the son of the Tordoff family sleep on a sofa, but Jayden refused, preferring to sleep on the sofa after quite a short debate. Knowing how stubborn he was, Pyro could only relent.
However, who would have thought that this young man would appear from behind his daughter's bedroom door?!
"APPLE!" Pyro snapped at his daughter.
"Shh!" Apple looked panicked, while putting her finger in front of her lips, wide-eyed. How dare she still dare to roll her eyes at her father after she was caught red-handed with Jayden in her room? "It's not what dad thinks."
"What do you mean it's not what dad thinks? This is so obvious!" Pyro put his hands on his waist, looking at his daughter as well as Jayden fiercely.
"He's sleeping daddy, he's sleeping!" Apple tried desperately to explain. "He is sleepwalking."
"What do you mean?" Pyro narrowed his eyes suspiciously at his daughter. "You're just looking for excuses aren't you?"
Apple rolled her eyes when she heard that. "Seriously! Even if I'm going to do something, there's no way I can do it in the house, while you are still here."
"So if I wasn't here, you would, then?"
"Of course not," Apple grumbled. "He is still sleeping. If you don't believe me, just have a look."
Pyro squinted as he looked at Apple, but then he walked over to Jayden and examined the young man, to make sure what his daughter said was true. He observed Jayden closely.
"He is."
"I told you…" Apple breathed a sigh of relief that her father believed her. "So what are we going to do now?"
=====================
When Jayden woke up the next morning, he was confused because he was in Pyro's room. He looked around him carefully and was sure that he was in the middle aged man's room.
But, what was he doing here? As he recalled, he was sleeping on the sofa in the living room last night and didn't go anywhere. So, how could he be in Pyro's room when he woke up?
Jayden looked around again and got out of the bed when he didn't find Pyro there.
However, when he walked toward the door, he found that the door was locked. Jayden tried to twist the handle and even tugged it a few times.
This door was indeed locked.
Jayden frowned. "Hmm?" He then knocked on the door. "Pyro, Apple! What happened? Why is this door locked?"
Jayden tried to open it but in vain. He could have smashed the door open, but the damage done wouldn't have pleased Pyro or Apple.
"Hey! Open the door! Why am I locked inside?" Jayden shouted loudly. "Open this door!" he shouted again, louder this time.
And only then did he hear the sound of footsteps from behind the locked door and hear the sound of a key turning.
"Why did you lock me in your room?" Jayden grumbled when he saw Pyro's figure behind the door.
"You don't remember what happened last night?" Pyro folded his arms across his chest.
"What did I do last night?" Jayden frowned uncomprehendingly. However, when he saw the expression on Pyro's face, Jayden felt that whatever he did last night, the old man didn't like it.
But, Jayden couldn't remember anything.
"What?" Jayden asked again, because Pyro didn't answer his question and continued to stare at him with eyes full of scrutiny, he even gritted his teeth. "Did I do something?" This time, his voice was quieter and more careful.
"You don't remember at all?"
"What should I remember?"
Pyro was silent for a moment, but then he exhaled and waved his hand casually at Jayden. "Let's have breakfast now." Then he just walked away from Jayden's presence.
"What the hell is that about? I'm worried for nothing," Jayden grumbled.
=======================
"Oh, I need Apple to come with me," Jayden said as he and Pyro were about to leave.
"What for?" Apple asked defensively.
"I need you to help me with work," Jayden replied casually, then showed Apple his hand. "You have to take responsibility for your actions."
"What did you actually do to him?" this time, it was Pyro who asked Jayden with a face full of curiosity. Last night, Jayden didn't explain enough.
"Apple bit my hand," Jayden replied sadly.
"NO!" Apple lied without a second thought. She then glared at Jayden, giving him a warning look.
"What? Did you really bite him?" Pyro looked surprised, of course it seemed to indicate something else.
"No!" Apple cried, insisting on her lie.
However, Jayden ignored the girl's fierce gaze as he further escalated the situation. "I got five stitches because she bit me." This time, Jayden put his hand in front of Pyro. "Look, my fingers are swollen now."
"He's lying!" Apple hissed, frowning because Jayden had told a lie. "He only got two stitches and not five! Do not lie!"
Pyro didn't understand what was going on in Apple's mind and how his daughter could be so gullible.
"You mean you really bit him?" Pyro asked directly.
If it was true that Apple didn't bite Jayden, no matter how many stitches the man received, then Apple would still say she didn't bite him.
However, the girl fell into Jayden's trap with ease.
"That… I mean…" Apple stuttered as she realized her mistake now.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Jayden smiled triumphantly at Apple. "Of course she is lying, she has bitten me."
