Considering the incident that happened when they were attacked inside this house, of course this time Jayden put a pretty tight security around the house in order to prevent the same thing from happening again.

When Apple opened the door, how surprised she was when she saw someone standing in front of her door with a very wide smile as they looked at her.

"Apple!" Gladys exclaimed cheerfully.

She laughed cheerfully when she saw Apple behind the door. She had already guessed that the address given to her was correct when she met Adrian who tried to stop her from going closer to this house earlier.

Of course, Adrian knew Gladys and she was able to enter without getting into any trouble.

"Oh, I missed you!" Gladys exclaimed as she hugged her tightly, meanwhile, Apple also hugged her back awkwardly, because she was still surprised to see Gladys here.

As far as Apple recalled, she had never given anyone the address of this house, so how did Gladys get here?

"Come in, have you eaten? We are making lunch," Apple ushered Gladys into her house.

The girl lifted the red plastic bag she was carrying and showed it to Apple. "I bought desserts for you," she said with a big smile, as they entered the house.

"What are you doing here?" Jayden asked when he saw his cousin.

"Yo! Jayden! You skipped work again to make Misha mad, didn't you?" Gladys asked in a cheerful voice which made Jayden glare at her.

Jayden didn't have to guess who had told Gladys the address of this house.

"Uncle… I heard that uncle just got out of the hospital, therefore, I brought this for uncle," Gladys said very sweetly and took out the desserts she had brought.

However, she only brought three servings, while there were four of them, because she didn't expect that Jayden would be here too, since Misha didn't tell her that Jayden would be here either.

Of course, Gladys knew Pyro from some of the Tordoff family activities that the two of them had participated in, especially when Pyro was still guarding Hailee and Jayden was a kid and they both had time to play together.

It was just that, after growing up and getting busy with their own businesses, they both grew apart. They couldn't be blamed, because they were quite far apart in age and just the sight of Gladys always irritated Jayden because she was very fussy and whiny.

"Ah, but one less serving, too bad, you don't get desserts, okay Jayden," Gladys said cheerfully.

Hearing that, Jayden squinted his eyes and childishly, he looked at the dessert box and got the phone number of the dessert shop where Gladys bought it.

Without thinking, Jayden ordered ten more boxes to be delivered right away to Apple's home address.

"I don't need that. I can buy it myself," Jayden said arrogantly and then put the dessert box on the table and continued to prepare lunch with Apple.

"Tsk, you are so childish," Gladys grumbled. "I will help too."

=======================

Apple was washing all their lunch plates with Gladys in the kitchen while Jayden was making phone calls and Pyro was watching football in the living room.

"So how's your relationship with Derek?" asked Apple to start a conversation.

Gladys' eyes immediately lit up when she heard this, because the main purpose of her coming here was to talk about this, but because the timing wasn't right, she didn't bring it up.

Luckily, Apple raised this topic first, so Gladys didn't feel awkward.

"Do you know!?" Gladys hissed and Apple almost thought this girl had suddenly turned into a cat or something. "You know what he did?"

"I wouldn't know if you didn't tell me," Apple said, handing Gladys the plate she'd just washed for her to dry.

"That's why I will tell you," Gladys said excitedly, not realizing that Apple had just teased her a little earlier. "You know that he sends me so many flowers every day? He also texted me many times, reminding me to eat, take vitamins and reminding me to take care of myself and also telling me how much he loves me and misses me."

Apple scoffed when she heard Derek's methods, Kyle, her ex, did the same to get her back back then.

Damn. These guys had absolutely no sense of creativity at all.

"Even though he is never sent me messages like that before and only now is he paying so much attention to me?" Gladys scrunched her face. She looked annoyed, but at the same time she was happy.

And this prompted Apple to commemorate her. "You didn't reply to any of those messages, did you?" asked Apple in a firm voice.

Gladys' age was not that far from her own, but it was needless to say that this girl had lived in luxury and was very pampered. It was just that she didn't turn into an annoying girl, but instead turned into a naive and innocent girl and made Apple feel irritated for her, telling her that what Derek did was wrong.

It was just that this girl was still smitten with him, not because she still liked Derek, but because she liked the attention she was getting from this guy.

The problem of being a girl like her was; she would always want to get all the attention, whether it was bad or not.

And right now, Gladys was too immature to realize such a thing.

"Of course not, I did as you said," Gladys said in a voice that sounded very proud of herself. "I made sure not to reply to any of his messages."

"Good job," Apple said encouragingly.

"How about we have a drink to celebrate this evening?" Gladys asked enthusiastically. "We don't need to go to the bar, we can just have our drinks delivered here. The three of us."
