It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

"Uncle Lexus!" Alina exclaimed when she saw Lexus walking into the house with her father.

The little girl ran over to Lexus, holding up both hands, asking to be carried. Seeing that, Lexus immediately approached the little girl and bent down, so he could lift Alina.

"What did you do today?" Lexus asked in a cheerful voice. He was always happy to be able to pamper Alina and make the little girl laugh, a laugh that Lexus found very pleasant to the ears.

"Martha taught me to sing," she said cheerfully.

"Would you like to sing for me?" Lexus asked as he plopped on the sofa and sat Alina on his lap while the little girl sang.

On the other hand, Hailee approached Ramon and kissed his cheek. Her husband looked unhappy to see the bond between Lexus and Alina. He felt his little daughter had been stolen.

"Your face shows your mood," Hailee said in a low voice, seeing Ramon jealous like this was a comforting sight. "At least you can hide it well."

Ramon then turned his attention to Hailee, grumbling, "I don't want to hide it." His words were short and this made Hailee laugh again.

Because Lexus was much more cheerful and always talkative, telling Alina anything, whether it was important or not important at all, the little girl tended to look for her uncle rather than her father who kept his silence.

Couldn't be faulted, because after all Ramon had changed now and was much warmer than he used to be, but of course you couldn't expect this guy to act as silly as Lexus did.

But it was certain that the little girl loved her father nonetheless, because her father was the first person she would look for when she was confused or Lexus told her something.

"Daddy!" Alina exclaimed, looking for her father.

Meanwhile, Hailee smiled as she saw Ramon forget his moodiness and approach their little daughter.

"Uncle Lexus said that the dolphin suckles its young, is it true?" Alina asked, her big round eyes staring at Ramon, waiting for an answer from her father.

Even though Alina was only two years old, the vocabulary she could use was already quite vast and Hailee must give this credit to Lexus again, because there was no one as fussy as him in this house.

"Yes, that's right," Ramon replied while touching his daughter's adorable cheek.

It was only after she got an answer from her father that Alina believed what her uncle said and it always happened like this.

"Why don't you believe what uncle said?" Lexus complained because this little girl would always seek her father for confirmation.

"Because dad is smarter," Alina answered innocently.

Immediately, Hailee laughed loudly and Ramon looked up at his daughter proudly. He rubbed her head gently.

And this was how the interaction between the three of them was and it had always been like this, while Hailee prepared snacks for them because Lis was coming home from out of town soon and she intended to stop by for a moment to have dinner together before going home.

Hailee couldn't feel luckier than she was right now.

"Smart girl," Ramon praised her, ignoring the glares from his brother who was now frowning.

"I'm smart too," he said, not wanting to lose.

At night, before going to bed, Alina would choose two of the many story books that filled her room for Ramon or Hailee to read.

For this activity, Ramon would spend more time with his little daughter, reading her a story every night.

Hailee would only take his place if Ramon couldn't be home sooner and Alina had fallen asleep, tired of waiting for her father's arrival or Ramon was out of town and couldn't come home.

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

One weekend afternoon, Lexus came to Hailee and asked if he could take Alina for a walk.

However, Hailee felt that something was strange with her brother-in-law.

"What are you trying to do?" Hailee asked suspiciously as she folded her arms across her chest.

"What will I do?" Lexus repeated Hailee's question. "I'll just take her for a walk, buy her clothes and toys."

Lexus tried to show his most innocent face, but Hailee glared and grew suspicious.

Lexus always looked suspicious when he was planning something and this time Hailee was very sure, one hundred percent sure that he was having other plans with her child.

"Tell me what you're going to do with Alina, otherwise I won't allow you to take her." Those were strong words.

Hailee stared intently at Lexus trying to figure out what else her brother-in-law would do.

However, Lexus still insisted on not telling anything and when Alina came with her babysitter, Lexus immediately picked up the little girl.

Alina looked happy when she saw Lexus, but Hailee just stood up from the sofa and turned around to face her brother-in-law.

"Put down my daughter Lexus," she said firmly. "You're not taking her anywhere until you explain to me what you're going to do."

"I won't do anything. She's my niece, how could I do anything bad." The expression on his face showed that he was slightly offended by Hailee's words, but his voice sounded rather unconvincing.

"I'll call Ramon then, maybe you'll answer if he asks you himself." Ramon was in the study, but because the house was so large, it would take some time for Hailee to get to her husband in person.

"Okay! Okay!" Lexus raised one hand that he wasn't using to carry Alina and gave up. "Don't call my evil brother," Lexus grumbled.

"Then?" Hailee raised an eyebrow and put away her cellphone, she folded her arms in front of her chest, waiting for Lexus' explanation of whatever plan he was going to carry out that involved Alina.

"I had a fight with Candice," Lexus said, grumbling. "She was furious with me and now she won't pick up my calls. It's been four hours. I can't call her while she won't reply to my texts."

Four hours was a very long time for Lexus not to talk to the girl. He couldn't think well if his problems with Candice weren't settled yet.

"I think it's your own doing." Candice rarely got angry, let alone to the extent of avoiding Lexus and if that happened, then there was no doubt who started the fight. "Then why do you want to bring Alina?"

Lexus's face lit up. "Because Alina will help me to persuade Candice to forgive me. My niece is too cute to be refused."
