It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Apple looked at her father, who was lying on the bed with a look that was hard to explain. The expression on her face was hard to read and she didn't move from her seat for a long time.

No one knew what was going on in her mind right now, but she certainly hadn't closed her eyes all night, as if she were afraid she might miss something, even though a doctor had come and told her that her father would be fine.

Pyro had passed his critical period and was currently in the recovery process. He was under the influence of drugs to speed up his recovery, so he hadn't regained his consciousness until now.

Apple understood, but that didn't mean she was going to stop worrying about her dad.

And as the sun shone through the shuttered windows, casting a golden glow across the room, Apple heard the sound of the door being opened from outside.

With full awareness and sharp eyes she turned around and found Jayden Tordoff standing in the doorway. His right hand carried a large plastic bag with a logo of one of the restaurants nearby.

"I am atoning for my sins," Jayden said, holding up the large plastic bag in his hand, showing that he had no ill will toward the girl.

"By bringing me breakfast?" Apple asked sarcastically. She was still annoyed that this young man was the reason why her father was now lying down on the bed and badly injured.

Jayden placed the plastic on the table and walked over to grab a chair to sit on the other side of Pyro's bed.

"I was going to bring you a box of jewelry, but I don't think a diamond ring and a few earrings will cool you down," Jayden replied lightly, and when he sat down across from Apple and found the girl staring at him fiercely, he raised his hands. "Don't stare at me for too long, you can be charmed by me."

Apple widened her eyes and stood up, as if she were ready to beat this guy up, but Jayden then quickly corrected his sentence.

"It's a joke, a joke, a lame joke, okay…" he said hastily and then muttered under his breath. "She doesn't have a sense of humor at all…"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing." Jayden flashed her a handsome smile and grimaced. "We shouldn't be loud here, it will bother your father. How about we have breakfast? I haven't eaten since last night."

Last night was a long one and apart from a cup of coffee, Jayden didn't eat or drink anything else. As for Misha, he casually returned to the Tordoff residence and left everything to him.

After all, it was Jayden who had caused this trouble, so it should be his job to take care of everything, at least that was what he was told by his cousin.

Great…

"I bought you breakfast…" Jayden stood up when he saw Apple walking out of the room. "Where are you going?"

However, Apple didn't answer his question. She plainly chose to ignore it and left the room quickly.

"Pyro… don't you feel very annoyed to have a daughter like that?" Jayden asked the still unconscious Pyro. "If you don't answer me, I will assume that you agree with me."

Of course, Pyro could not question Jayden's statement or back his daughter up.

"Yeah, I guess so too." Jayden nodded, but then he stood up and decided to go after the girl.

Apple was Pyro's daughter and he almost made her lose her father, so Apple's attitude could be tolerated…

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

Luckily, Jayden had his men in several places in this place, so he could easily trace Apple in the hospital cafeteria.

The girl was sitting alone, eating instant noodles which were not at all healthy. Ramon used to stare at Jayden sharply whenever he ate instant noodles when he was a child.

"I bought you a much healthier meal earlier, but you chose this food instead," Jayden said as he sat across from Apple. "Your tastes really need to be questioned."

Apple didn't say much, but she quickly changed tables and continued enjoying the instant noodles she thought of as breakfast.

Meanwhile, Jayden who saw Apple's childish attitude smiled. For some reason, seeing her upset entertained his foul mood.

"You shouldn't be like this toward me, it's rude," Jayden said righteously, as he sat down in front of Apple. "After all I am your father's boss."

Apple immediately stopped eating and drank mineral water from the bottle beside her, but when she put the bottle down, she literally slammed the poor little thing against the table until the sound echoed in this almost empty canteen.

Jayden flinched at seeing such a violent gesture from a sweet girl like Apple.

"Yes he is, but you are not my boss," she said grimly.

However, Jayden raised his brows instead and smirked. "Not yet."

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

It took Pyro two days to finally regain his consciousness, but it was not until a week later that he was finally able to recover.

"Apple," Pyro called in a slightly hoarse voice. He looked much better, though he still sounded weak.

"Hmm?" Apple replied, without even turning around. She was currently busy packing her father's clothes. The plan was that they would go home tomorrow as Pyro didn't want to be in the hospital anymore and the doctor had already allowed him to go home.

"I want to ask you something," Pyro said carefully.

"What?" Apple asked, but she still didn't really turn her attention to Pyro and was still busy folding her dad's clothes.

Meanwhile, Pyro wanted to have a serious talk with her, so he didn't say anything until finally Apple realized his intention and left her task of packing the clothes and chose to face her father.

"What's the matter, dad?" Apple asked as she sat down beside Pyro's bed.

"I want you to take over my job for a while," Pyro said, and saw his daughter's expression change instantly.
