It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Jayden left the house because he realized that Apple had been away for too long and Pyro started asking about his daughter.

And because Jayden didn't want to attract unnecessary attention, when he drove Pyro home today, he didn't bring a single bodyguard to guard him. After all, he felt this place was safe enough.

As such, he had no one he could send to check on Apple's whereabouts, although he was sure that the mean girl would be all right.

Who was going to mess with a girl who had a razor-sharp tongue like Apple? She was more than capable of taking care of herself, alright?

However, what Jayden saw as soon as he came out was quite surprising to him...

The moment Jayden came out to check on Apple's whereabouts, he found the girl had returned and was talking to a man on the street. In her right hand, she was holding a large bag containing their dinner.

"When you got back you should have gone inside the house and put the food down before you chatted with your friends…" Jayden grumbled. He intended to go to Apple and take the food and leave the two of them.

But, what he didn't expect was the man's angry, high-pitched scream, snapping at Apple without holding back.

"HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!?" the man cried angrily.

And it made Jayden squint when the man raised his hand high and landed it squarely on Apple's cheek, so hard that it knocked the girl down onto the paved road.

Jayden understood why Apple didn't have time to dodge such an attack, because the focus was on himself walking up to them.

But what made Jayden even more confused was the fact that Apple did not retaliate at all.

She immediately stood up, but did not reply to the man who had hurt her earlier.

Did that girl just let someone slap her and didn't even try to retaliate? But why?

Jayden would have laughed out loud if the reason Apple didn't do that was because she was scared.

But he knew better than the girl, who could fight four of his bodyguards at once and had a gun pointed at her head, was terrified to face a man.

On the other hand, Apple was snarling at Kyle, her ex-boyfriend. "Get out of here before you get into more trouble than this."

"Did you just threaten me?" Kyle growled angrily, his eyes fixed on Apple. "I don't want to leave here and I don't want our relationship to end."

"Oh, you should have thought so before you slept with my best friend. You think I'll take you back after what happened?" Apple said through gritted teeth. She was completely furious after finding out their affair a week ago, when her father was still unconscious.

But, the truth was that Apple didn't want to be in this relationship anymore, not just because of the problem. There were many things that were impossible to keep this relationship going and one of them was Kyle's rude attitude. This relationship was too toxic to continue nurturing it.

"Now get out of my sight," Apple hissed. She looked even more panicked when Jayden walked over and stood right behind Kyle.

And before Kyle could snap at Apple again or hit her a second time, Jayden announced his presence.

"You let this ugly man hit you and didn't even retaliate?" Jayden asked in disbelief.

However, when he got close to Apple, he could see the bruises on the girl's face that this man had left after the blow, and at that moment, Jayden's eyes turned cold.

"This is none of your business," Apple murmured, trying to find a way to end this odd situation, especially since Jayden got involved.

"Who's he? Your new lover?" Kyle asked scornfully. He looked at Jayden with disdain and disapproval that he had dared to meddle in his affairs with Apple.

However, if he could have looked more clearly, he would have recognized Jayden Tordoff from some of the news circulating about the success of the Tordoff family in launching their new subsidiary.

"Alright, stop this." Apple then pulled Jayden's hand away to leave.

Only, Kyle grabbed Apple's hand and pulled her so she couldn't go anywhere.

And a moment later, everything happened so fast.

Jayden took something from his waist and Apple immediately realized what it was, of course as Pyro's daughter, she recognized the movement all too well.

And Instinctively, she warded off Jayden's hand so the shot missed Kyle's head.

The sound of gunshot was loud enough that Kyle let go of his grip on Apple's hand and looked at Jayden in disbelief, then at the gun in his hand.

"Are you crazy!?" Apple cried, glaring angrily at Jayden, but the man didn't show any expression, not even an expression of regret for having done this.

Jayden actually looked at Apple with eyes that said; what was wrong with this?

"Put that gun away and let's go back," Apple growled, and pushed Kyle away. She then grabbed Jayden's hand again, but her eyes were still on the gun in her hand, anticipating that Jayden would shoot Kyle a second time.

Unexpectedly Jayden didn't say anything when Apple pulled him away, it was just that the expression on his face was enough to leave Apple stunned. He looked terrible… as if he was ready to kill Kyle if Apple hadn't been there.

And this time, Kyle could only stand still, staring at Apple and Jayden walking away, his face still showing a very surprised expression.

If it wasn't for Apple who had slapped Jayden's hand away in time, then it was certain that he wouldn't be able to see the sun shine tomorrow morning.

What was the guy's problem? Why did he have a gun and what was the relationship between that man and Apple?

Kyle still didn't move from where he was standing even after Apple and Jayden had disappeared from his sight and just felt that his ear was bleeding from the missed shot…
