Chapter 435 STAY BESIDE ME

"Hey, wake up," Jayden whispered, rocking Apple who was sleeping while leaning against the car window.

The girl immediately woke up and turned alert, looking around her with interest.

"What is it?" she asked in a low voice, she looked around and realized that they were no longer on the main road and there were some shabby houses around them. From a distance, Apple could even hear a ship\'s whistle. "Where are we now?" she asked confusedly.

"We\'re getting down here now," Jayden said, then handed Apple a gun.

Apple who saw that showed a surprised face, not expecting that the situation would be this serious.

"There\'s no need to look so tense," Jayden said lightly. "This is just a precaution," he said soothingly.

But, of course Apple didn\'t believe his words, she looked doubtful as she took the gun and put it in the tuck of her pants.

"You have a lot of people who can do this dirty work, so why did you involve yourself in investigating this?" Apple did not understand the way the man beside her thought.

"If you like horse riding, then it would be more fun to do it yourself than to see someone else do it," Jayden replied wisely.

"I just found out that your hobby was horse riding, I thought you only love showing off," Apple sneered at him, but this son of the Tordoff family didn\'t seem offended at all, he just smirked and replied.

"I have a lot of hobbies, including showing off too," he answered shortly before getting out of the car followed by Apple.

"Where are they?" Apple asked when she had walked over to Jayden and stood beside him. She looked around and realized that they were in a harbour.

What were they going to do in this place?

"On one of the ships over there," Jayden replied, nodding toward one of the ships located not far from them. "Some of my people have checked this place, but they couldn\'t drill the whole thing, so we have to go and do it ourselves."

There weren\'t that many people Jayden had brought to be able to comb a place this big, after all bringing a lot of people would only draw the attention of the two men.

"Then let\'s get this over with as soon as possible so I can go home as soon as possible," Apple said firmly. She was about to walk first, but then she felt Jayden pulling her back.

"Stay behind me," Jayden said, he then took the initiative to walk ahead of Apple and let the girl follow him.

On the other hand, Apple wasn\'t used to finding herself hiding behind a man, so she said in a low voice. "I thought I was your bodyguard and not the other way around."

"You\'re off duty, so you\'re just Pyro\'s daughter and not my bodyguard," Jayden replied lightly.

"Can\'t we count this as me doing overtime?" Apple countered, starting to follow and keep up with Jayden\'s jokes.

"You should sign some paperwork first, beautiful, before we discuss money here."

Apple sneered at him. "You gave your money for free to that girl named Hellen, but you\'re keeping tabs with me?"

Jayden laughed softly at what Apple said. "I\'ll treat you to a meal after this."

Apple snorted in response, but then she refocused on the matter at hand.

Jayden walked in front of Apple while the girl checked behind them, hoping that the night would end soon because she wanted to go home and have a good sleep.

"Which ship?" Apple asked when they got close to the dock. There were about five ships there, two of which had been inspected by Jayden\'s men, while the remaining three were large ships they couldn\'t possibly have inspected alone.

But, Apple then realized something, Jayden didn\'t answer her question, he looked tense until the veins in his neck were protruding.

"Are you okay?" Apple asked. She saw beads of sweat popping down Jayden\'s neck and then remembered one of her father\'s stories about Jayden\'s trauma. "If you don\'t want to get on that ship, I can check it for you."

Then, without waiting for Jayden\'s response, Apple stepped forward and was about to enter one of the ships when three of Jayden\'s men entered it.

"No," Jayden said, grabbing Apple\'s hand quickly to keep the girl from getting into the ship. "We can wait here."

Apple looked at Jayden and was silent, not contradicting his words or making the jokes she had always thrown before.

Meanwhile, Jayden could only curse under his breath because that damn trauma was still haunting him.

He had gone through several sessions with a psychologist and seen several psychiatrists on the advice of his mother, but nothing seemed to help him with his fears.

Sh*t!

Jayden then leaned his back against one of the masts there, while they both took cover in the large cargo that was between him and the ship.

However, after a few minutes of waiting, nothing happened. There were no reports whatsoever that his men managed to get any information or anything.

However, after three minutes had passed, in the middle of the quiet and relatively calm night, they could hear gunshots that were loud enough to make Apple and Jayden jump in alert.

Then followed by two other gunshots.

"Stay here, I\'ll check it out, it\'ll be faster if I move alone," Apple said, who immediately ran swiftly and agilely toward the ship, without Jayden having time to stop her.

"Sh*t! This girl…" Jayden cursed. He had no problem with the firefight going on. But that being the scene on a ship made Jayden feel not wanting to approach at all, while Apple had almost reached the ship and disappeared behind it.

Apple did have the gun that Jayden gave her earlier, but he certainly didn\'t want anything to happen to the girl.
