“Wedding?!” Lexus widened his eyes in disbelief, he raised his hands indicating Ramon to keep silent for a moment. “What do you mean by marriage? When the people out there didn’t even know that you have a lover!” Lexus’ voice sounded a little hysterical.

On the other hand, Ramon did not respond to that and let Lexus ramble on while he held Hailee’s body so she wouldn’t go anywhere, as he felt Hailee’s subconscious struggle of moving away from him.

“Ram, what will people say?” since after all, Ramon had never been heard of in a relationship with any other woman, the news of this sudden marriage would certainly cause a stir. “What if they think you got her pregnant first? That’s why you’re in a hurry to marry her! ”

“Then what if I impregnate her first?” Ramon asked back in a relaxed tone, he even glanced at Hailee’s surprised reaction.

“Pregnant?” Lexus muttered, while keeping his eyes fixed on Hailee’s flat stomach. “You … are pregnant?”

“Of course not!” exclaimed Hailee fiercely. “We don’t do things like that!”

“Okay, okay…” Lexus raised his hands, indicating that Hailee should keep her emotions down. “I’m just guessing… don’t blame me.” Then Lexus pointed at Ramon. “His words led me to think like that.”

After all, they’ve been together for two years, who knows what they have done, right?

And, it was no longer a taboo for getting pregnant before marriage, as things like these were quite common in the recent times.

“Don’t talk carelessly.” Hailee said in a low voice. How could she be angry with Ramon when she couldn’t even raise her face to look directly into the eyes of this man beside her.

“Why? You don’t like it? ” Ramon lowered his face, so that he could whisper lovingly into Hailee’s ear, while the girl lowered her head even more as Ramon’s warm breath brushed her nape. “Two years should be enough time for you to get used to me.”

This man really was dangerous!

Hailee started to doubt the rumors that were circulating out there, which said that Ramon was a cold and stiff man. How could a guy like that tease her like this?

Ramon even did it very naturally.

It was not only the rumors about Ramon, but also the doctor’s diagnosis that the Tordoff family heir had amnesia, was something that had been a subject of suspicion for Hailee.

This was purely based on her gut feeling, maybe she was being too sensitive because she felt guilty, for lying about the relationship between herself and Ramon, Hailee could sense that Ramon was testing it. This man actually didn’t completely believe that Hailee was his lover.

And what Hailee guessed was true.

Ramon was not that stupid to be easily tricked, especially with Hailee’s sad acting skills.

However, there were some things Ramon wanted to know from this girl and the reason why she was doing what she was doing now, after all, it was quite nice to have Hailee by his side too.

“Hey, can you two stop making out in front of me?” grumbled Lexus. “I’m still here, don’t think that there are only the two of you in this room.”

Hearing his brother’s complaint, Ramon glared at him and with a flat expression he said, “Then why are you still here? If you don’t like what you see, just leave.”

Lexus was stunned to hear Ramon shooing him away. “I feel like you are kicking me out…” whined Lexus.

“It’s good if you feel that.” Ramon nodded toward the door. “There’s the door, you can close it from the outside.”

“Ramon!” Hailee hissed from between her teeth, she grimaced at the thought that they would have to be alone after this discussion.

“Where are you going?” Ramon grabbed Hailee’s body back as he clasped her hands tightly since the girl tried to run away from him again. “Aren’t you happy that we are finally getting married after two years of dating?”

“Ramon, you’re still sick. “Hailee hissed, still trying to rebel from Ramon’s embrace, but it seemed that, despite this man’s status as a patient, his strength was far beyond Hailee’s.

Ramon smiled a little at Hailee’s reaction, for some reason he liked her sullen expression and instead of letting go, Ramon put his chin on her shoulder.

“I’m well enough to keep you from going anywhere,” Ramon said. “So, what kind of marriage do you want?”

“What?” Hailee stuttered. All of this was very far from her expectations. She just wanted to find refuge behind the Tordoffs, but Hailee never thought that things could become this messy. “Why are we talking about marriage? You have to be healthy first. Your health is most… ”

Even the reason that Hailee had just voiced out was completely inconclusive to his ears.

“You still think I’m not well enough?” Ramon put his finger under Hailee’s chin and lifted her face, so she could look up directly into his eyes. “Are you thinking of running away from this marriage?”

“No, no…” Hailee answered too quickly as she shook her head vigorously. “Of course, I will not run away.” Even now Hailee can hear her inner voice saying that she was lying.

“So, what made you hesitate to marry me?” Ramon lay down, but he also brought Hailee to lie down beside him. In his arms, Ramon could clearly feel Hailee’s body stiffen, as if she was afraid to make the slightest movement.

“Hah?” Hailee frowned in Ramon’s arms, she wanted so badly to push this man away, but was afraid that later he would be suspicious, but being in this position was not very pleasant too… “Of course not.”

“Or maybe, because you’re not really my lover?” Ramon suddenly released his hug around Hailee and frowned while looking at the girl with an expression that was hard to read.

“I’m your lover, can’t you remember?” Hailee immediately seized the moment to get out of bed, even though her words continued to indicate lies and insisted that she was Ramon’s lover, Hailee’s body language said otherwise. “We’ve been together for two years.”

While saying that, Hailee walked hastily to the other side of the ward and continued her pending work, packing Ramon’s messy things.

On the other hand, Ramon stopped teasing Hailee, and continued following every move of the girl who was lying to him with his sharp eyes.

‘Interesting,’ thought Ramon.

If Hailee was lying because of money and status, then Ramon could understand, but this girl didn’t seem at all interested in artificial things like that.

So, what did this girl actually want by lying to him and his family?
