Chapter 598 TENSION IN THE AIR　　As the two of them entered the hotel lobby, they could see that not far from them dys was waving enthusiastically with sparkling eyes with the man Apple met at the bar the other day, Derek, beside her.


    "Oh, don''te here…" Jayden muttered, but against his wishes, dys ran toward them.


    Meanwhile, Apple smiled bitterly when she saw dys walking closer to her, pulling Derek to follow her.


    She looked like a cheerful girl and very extroverted. At first nce, Apple knew that she liked this girl morepared to the other cousins of Jayden.


    However, the fact that she was with Derek still bothered Apple and she didn''t seem veryfortable with the fact that this guy ever asked for her number.


    While it was not umon to find someone to talk to at a bar and ask for their phone number, why would Derek want to have a girlfriend when he already had a girlfriend? That made absolutely no sense to Apple.


    However, even so, Apple felt it was not her ce to judge him, especially since she didn''t want to interfere in their rtionship. She just met dys.


    "You guys just came back from Jayden''s parents'' house?" dys asked excitedly and then took Apple''s hand. "Then how about youe to my party? Just for a bit. Try a drink or two, then go back to your hotel room, okay?"


    dys almost begged Apple and this made her ufortable to refuse.


    "No, we''ll go back to the hotel room right now," Jayden said firmly, trying to pull Apple out of dys''s arms, but his cousin pped his hand away and red at him.


    She knew she wouldn''t be able to convince Jayden, but it looked like Apple would be an easy target to persuade.


    "Apple, just a ss or two, okay? There are some people who didn''te to this party, so it looks very lonely. Please do me a favor, will you?" dys coaxed relentlessly at Apple, giving her hopeful eyes for the girl to give in and agree.


    "What dys said is true, why not rx for a while?" asked Derek, joining in on this chat that made Jayden stare at him scornfully.


    He didn''t like it when people cut him off, so he grabbed Apple''s arm, keeping the girl by his side.


    Jayden wasn''t rude when he did this, as there was no way he''d hurt Apple, but his sudden move surprised dys quite a bit.


    "You don''t have to be like that," dys muttered, frowning. She looked very disappointed and Apple thought it wouldn''t hurt if they attended the party for a bit.


    "I think a ss or two would be nice enough," Apple said to Jayden, to which dys smiled happily and pped her hands like a child.


    Jayden looked deeply at Apple. He didn''t like it when Apple felt obligated to do something she didn''t like. "You don''t have to do that."


    But, Apple rubbed his arm gently as she said, "I''m not that tired, we''re already here after all, right? And our goal is to take a vacation. Parties are also part of the holiday, right?" persuaded Apple.


    No. Jayden came to this ind specifically to meet his mother and ask for the Tordoff family ring for him to use to propose to Apple. But, of course, he would not say that reason out loud.


    And he had no other reason to say it wasn''t just a vacation.


    "Come on, I guarantee it''s going to be a great party," dys coaxed, taking Apple''s hand. They seemed to be the same age if not Apple was a year or two older than her.


    And in the end after getting persuaded here and there, and making sure that Apple wasn''t doing this out of necessity, Jayden finally agreed to go and the two of them walked behind dys and Derek, to the swimming pool where the party was taking ce.


    dys had rented the swimming pool for tonight''s party.


    "You don''t have to go if you don''t want to," Jayden said as they walked across the lobby, while dys was happily talking to Derek in front of them. "I know you''re notfortable with this kind of event."


    "It''s okay, we can leave immediately if I start to feel ufortable," said Apple, waving her hand, as if this wasn''t a big deal to argue about. "Again, if I''m really joining your family, shouldn''t I have a good rtionship with your cousin?"


    Thest time Apple saw the Tordoffs, she caused an unnecessary fuss. Even though she knew very well it wasn''t her fault, she still felt bad about it.


    On the other hand, Jayden was quite happy to hear that Apple was making an effort to get to know his family more closely.


    "Tell me if you''re notfortable, then we''ll leave right away, okay?" Jayden whispered into her ear while kissing the nape of Apple which made her shudder a little because the gesture was too intimate for her and this made Jaydenugh, because he thought Apple was very funny.


    Meanwhile, dys nced at the couple behind her, who seemed to be having their own time and having fun, though she couldn''t hear a word they were saying.


    But, at least she''d been able to persuade these two lovebirds and they would definitely be the center of attention, which would make the party even more lively, since it was safe to say that Jayden rarely, if not at all, attended parties like this.


    And it looked like what dys thought was right, because as soon as Jayden stepped into the swimming pool area, all eyes immediately fell on him, especially the women.


    However, those adoring gazes turned into very sinister gazes when they saw the girl in Jayden''s arms. They furrowed their foreheads very clearly, as if to say; what was that woman here for?


    On the other hand, Apple felt this thick tension in the air. It was as if she was entering a tiger''sir.
