It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

"You don't even love her," Theodore retorted in a mocking tone, but Ramon didn't say anything, but only the way he looked at Theodore made the latter feel embarrassed for some reason he knew. Theodore should have realized that those words could also be directed at himself, for the way he lost Hailee.

Sometimes, you wouldn't get a second chance for the first chance you just missed.

"Mr. Gevano, I hope this will be your last visit here," Ramon finally let out a response after the awkward silence he created. And this sentence was the only reason why he wanted to talk to him.

"Is Hailee no longer allowed to receive guests? Not even an old friend can see her?" Theodore folded his arms across his chest, a gesture that indicated a defensive stance.

Maybe later he would regret his decision for having so openly irritated Ramon, but for now, he felt this was the right thing for him to do.

"Old friend?" Ramon smiled, the kind of smile that would make one feel inferior.

Ramon's sentence hung without him ending it and this created another spell of awkward silence like before, leaving Theodore at a loss as to how to respond him.

"You don't know Hailee like I know her." Theodore tried not to look defeated in front of Ramon, but this only made him look even more stupid. He kept saying unnecessary words.

And that's exactly what Ramon was making him do right now. He didn't attack Theodore openly, but mentally, the heir to the Gevano family had truly been defeated. He should learn more if he really wanted to talk to Ramon at the same level.

"Don't ever say stupid things like that about my wife, next time I will not be so patient like this," Ramon said in a deep voice and made anyone who heard it gulp in agitation with the threat it contained.

Having finished saying that, Ramon then left the room, without waiting for Theodore and immediately headed for the car that was waiting for him, where Hailee was already sitting in, patiently waiting for him.

"Are you done talking to him?" Hailee asked as soon as Ramon sat beside her, she glanced into the house but didn't see Theodore's figure that also should be coming out of there. Meaning,  the man was still inside.

"Yes," Ramon replied curtly.

"What did you say to him?" Hailee asked. "What were you two talking about?" curiosity made Hailee hunt down Ramon with questions.

"Nothing," Ramon replied nonchalantly again, but seeing the faint frown between Hailee's eyebrows, he knew that such an answer would only lead to endless new questions until Hailee got the answer she wanted. "I asked him not to come to this house again."

Hearing that answer, Hailee then burst out laughing. "I should have been there to see how his face looked when you said that. Must be hilarious."

After two days of not coming to the arena because he had to take care of his younger sister, Ian decided to have his share of fighting tonight and returned to collect money for the cost of his sister's surgery.

However, just as he was about to close the locker room door, two people rushed inside and pulled him away from the door before one of them closed the door and locked it.

Of course this action made Ian feel wary. At first, he thought these two were just new fighters he had never seen before, but seeing how they locked the door, it didn't seem like such a simple matter.

Ian immediately moved away from one of them, taking the position he thought was most advantageous, but his luck would be useless if they had a gun. Well, anything was possible, especially in the world Ian was in right now.

"Who are you?" Ian asked the standard question they would have guessed beforehand.

Seeing the wariness in Ian's eyes, the two of them didn't try to walk closer, but neither did they move away from the door, because they knew Ian would try to escape and it was the only door in the room.

"You don't have to feel threatened, we are here to make an offer to you," said one of them. "Ian Schamber."

Ian wasn't too surprised when they said his name. After all, it wasn't that hard to figure out such a basic detail.

"I don't need any offer from you," Ian said in a loud voice. He looked at these two men and was sure that he had never seen them before.

"Are you saying that seriously now? You haven't even heard what we have to offer," another man said, his voice hoarse like a big cigarette fan.

"Go away, because I am not interested in anything you guys have to offer." Ian's life was already very difficult, so he was very careful not to get involved in anything that could harm himself or add trouble to his life.

"Too bad, when this involves the cost of your sister's surgery," the same man said, provoking a reaction from Ian when he heard his sister being called.

And as he had expected, Ian's reaction was as he had predicted, therefore he took this opportunity to explain further about all the benefits he would receive if Ian really cooperated with them.

Of course, he emphasized the benefits that his younger sister would get, because they knew that Ian's first priority was his younger sister and also other benefits that Ian would find it very difficult for him to refuse.

Indeed, everything they said was very tempting, but wasn't the greater the reward Ian got, the more risky the work Ian must complete?

In this case, Ian really had to be careful in treading.

"What do you want from me?" Ian asked at last after they had finished making their offer.

"Very simple," answered one of them, he then took two steps closer to Ian. "We just want you to kill Ramon Tordoff."

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

Ramon took Hailee to eat at the most famous restaurant in town A, as this restaurant served the best seafood.

And since Hailee said she wanted to eat seafood, then of course Ramon took her to this place.

However, the problem was; after meeting Theodore, Hailee got into the car straight away and didn't get to change her clothes, because she didn't expect Ramon to bring her here.

Therefore, when Hailee found out that they were going to this restaurant, she intended to cancel the plan altogether, unfortunately Ramon didn't let Hailee do it with the measly reason because of the clothes she was wearing.

So here was Hailee, sitting in the most luxurious restaurant in town A in clothes more suitable to wear when she was going to eat at a street vendor.

Really sad.

Hailee reasoned that she felt more comfortable dressed like that and again, she didn't want Theodore to misunderstood if she got dressed up and overdressed when she saw him earlier. Without any of those, the man had already gotten the wrong idea and assumed what wasn't true.

But, since Ramon was by her side all the time and their bodyguards were just a few feet away, no one looked down on Hailee. The waiters didn't ask much and didn't treat her differently either.

"I feel like we are part of beauty and the beast, but this time I am the beast," Hailee complained after she had finished her meal and was enjoying the night view from the glass to the ceiling window next to her.

Meanwhile, Ramon just laughed at the analogy. "You are too beautiful to be the beast."

"I know that I am beautiful," Hailee said proudly as she tossed her hair and smiled mischievously at Ramon. "Oh, I am going to the restroom. There's no need to tell them to follow me, it's embarrassing." Hailee warned Ramon before he thought of it because she knew what her husband was going to do.

"I will go look for you myself if you don't come back in ten minutes," Ramon said calmly, watching Hailee walk toward the toilet.

There were various feelings that were rumbling in Hailee's chest right now. On one hand, Ramon's overprotective attitude annoyed her sometimes, but on the other hand, Hailee was very happy to be treated like this.

Weren't men who show affection much more attractive than those who try to cover it up and act like they didn't care?

This made Hailee imagine too far and think what would happen when their child was born. What would the two of them be like while taking care of their child? The relationship between them would be even stronger, right? No one would be able to ruin this little family of theirs, right?

Such simple thoughts made Hailee feel happy, until Theodore's words rang in her ears again.

Roland Dimatrio knew something about the death of Hailee's parents and it had something to do with Aileen.

This information was arguably very disturbing to Hailee.

Maybe Hailee should discuss this with Ramon later, after they got home from this restaurant.

However, when Hailee came out of her cubical, she met two women who were fixing their make- up.

Of course, when comparing the clothes Hailee was wearing and the women's, the three of them would appear to be from different social strata and this left both women surprised to see Hailee dressed so simply.

"Are the waiters in this restaurant allowed to enter the visitor's restrooms?" asked the one with the longest hair while looking at Hailee scornfully.

Meanwhile, realizing that she was the one being talked about, Hailee couldn't help but remain silent because she didn't want to cause a commotion in a place like this. She would just wash her hands and leave immediately from there.

Too bad, that simple plan didn't go smoothly either.

"Yes, this should be reported to the restaurant management so that she can be fired." Her friend replied vehemently.

And when Hailee had finished drying her hands and was about to leave, one of them seemed to have too much time with their glamorous lives to need something to add some spicy to her boring routine.

The second woman was standing right in front of Hailee, blocking her way out of there. She crossed her arms in front of her chest while looking at Hailee sarcastically.

"You want to run away from here?" she asked haughtily. Her eyes were fixed on Hailee and she didn't even consider who exactly the person she was looking at was.

"Escape? What for? I am just going back to my table, my husband is waiting for me," Hailee replied as she crossed her arms in front of her chest as well. Her gaze seemed bored from having to deal with people like them.
