It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Hailee felt she needed time to digest all of this. "I need some alone time, can you leave me alone for a while?" she said to Ramon and this time there was a pleading tone in her voice.

Hailee suddenly felt mentally exhausted and unable to deal with other people, including Ramon. She didn't know what the reaction would be appropriate or if her words just now sounded too mean and cruel to say.

But, that's how Hailee felt, as she didn't know how to react to it anymore.

Hailee didn't want Ramon to think badly of her for saying that, but she couldn't add that anxiety to her already very complicated situation.

Therefore, when Ramon gently stroked her cheek and tucked her hair behind her ear, only then did Hailee dare to open her eyes and look directly at Ramon.

Hailee thought she would receive either an accusing stare or a judgmental look from this man, but that was not the case. Ramon was still looking at her the same way and nothing had changed about him.

Maybe Hailee was overthinking this, but who wouldn't?

"I'll make some hot tea for you, it will help you feel calmer." Ramon then stood up and was about to leave. But before that, he lowered his head and kissed Hailee's cheek while whispering, "When you've decided what you're going to do, tell me and I'll help you."

It was a simple sentence that was too straightforward, but it somehow gave Hailee some peace.

Knowing that Ramon would be by her side to help her was important. Ramon seemed to remind Hailee that she was not alone.

And that feeling made Hailee's chest constrict, like a rush of various emotions trying to surface.

The feelings that Hailee had suppressed since she first read the report and from just now overflowed, like a water dam breaking.

Hailee grabbed the front of her shirt and gripped it tightly, as if she was trying to keep her broken heart intact.

And when the sound of the door closing could be heard and Hailee was alone, the overflow of emotions turned into a sob and the sob turned into a scream of despair.

Hailee wailed, like a wounded animal…

Meanwhile, behind the closed study door, Ramon could hear Hailee's desperate sobs and this made him wince, as if he felt the same pain.

Ramon didn't like this feeling at all and even more so seeing Hailee like that…

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

Even though it was their wedding night, where both the bride and groom should be enjoying the night happily, but the reality was far from it.

Because Aileen was currently sitting alone on the edge of the bed, in a luxury hotel room where they were to spend a week's honeymoon vacation.

Aileen planned this honeymoon alone because Theodore did not participate in the plan at all. No, he didn't even participate in anything related to their marriage.

And now the man was somewhere, after leaving his wife alone just like that.

Aileen's knuckles turned white as she gripped the hem of her dress so tightly as she gritted her teeth furiously.

This was a blatant insult. Aileen really felt insulted by Theodore's attitude toward her.

Perhaps the two of them could still fake a smile and act more decent when there were many eyes on them, but when no one else was around, the smile on Theodore's lips would disappear so quickly.

Aileen didn't understand why their relationship could change so drastically? Because during the time Theodore was engaged to Hailee and their relationship was still a secret, Aileen firmly believed that she had the man in her palms.

But, why now...

Aileen looked back at the clock which showed that it was long past midnight and morning would come in less than three hours, but Theodore still hadn't returned. The man had left Aileen alone ever since they set foot in this hotel.

It was anger and hatred that accompanied Aileen throughout the night. In her solitude, her mind kept replaying some of the plans she could come up with to make Theodore regret for treating her like this.

Not only Theodore but also Mrs. Gevano, that woman never considered her a part of the family, so that's what Aileen would do as well.

They weren't family and she was free to do anything to people who made her unhappy.

Aileen made a list in her heart of the people who would suffer under her hand and Theodore and George were at the top of the list.

As for Hailee, she would take care of her after she got the green light from Giana...

All the plans had been well laid out in Aileen's head, but no one knew if it would all go the way she wanted…

"What happened?" Lexus leaned in to whisper to Ramon who was sitting next to him. "Did you two fight again?"

It was a normal morning that Lexus invited himself to have breakfast at Ramon's house, but what he found was a gloomy looking Hailee, shrouded by a dark aura.

Of course this surprised Lexus, because he wasn't used to seeing Hailee in such a gloomy mood.

If it was Ramon, maybe Lexus wouldn't really care because that was how his brother usually was.

"No," replied Ramon briefly while pushing Lexus away because his brother was too close to him, on the other hand, Hailee seemed not to hear their whispery conversation because she was too focused on the porridge in front of her.

Yes, Hailee didn't sleep all night, she was in Ramon's study alone, while Ramon stood at the door, listening to his wife cry all night long.

It wasn't until the sun came up that Hailee's crying subsided and Ramon went inside to invite her to have breakfast, as if he hadn't heard her crying. This relieved Hailee, because the last thing Hailee wanted was someone to pity her.

"But, why does she look so gloomy? Usually she is always cheerful whenever she sees me," Lexus commented and this got a response from Hailee.

"I'm not happy to see you, so don't spread rumors that aren't true," she said.
