"What?!" Ramon's frown deepened when he heard what Hailee just said in a light tone of voice.
Didn't he already say so clearly that Hailee shouldn't see Ian again? Then why was now Hailee actually challenging him by bringing Ian to this city? And… what did she just say? Picking her up after she was done hanging out with that 'best friend' of hers?
"I promised to meet Ian at the cafe near your office," Hailee innocently repeated her words from earlier. "When you leave home from work, can you pick me up first?" She asked.
At this point, Hailee was completely unaware of her husband's change in mood and was still acting as usual. As if nothing had happened.
"So, can you pick me up?" Hailee asked again when she noticed that Ramon didn't answer her question even after a considerable amount of pause. "The cafe is not too far from where you are."
"Hailee." Ramon's voice sounded firmer and now the twitch in his temples became even more noticeable.
