It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Apple didn't understand what was really going on at first. After all, she was busy enjoying Kyle's anger and Jayden's silly attitude.

But, when Jayden pulled her closer and landed a sweet kiss on her cheek, the anger that rolled off of Kyle became invisible to her as she was flabbergasted at the shock that hit her at Jayden's behavior.

What the hell just happened?!

Indeed Jayden didn't kiss her on the lips, which was a sign of something too intimate, but even a kiss on the cheek wasn't a natural thing to happen between them.

Slowly, Apple tilted her head and looked at the man beside her. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw absolutely no trace of regret in the expression on Jayden's face.

"Enough evidence?" Jayden asked lightly. He even had the audacity to rest his head against hers and smile cheekily at Kyle.

After that, Apple didn't hear what else Jayden had to say to Kyle to make him go away from her house, swearing and throwing all sorts of obscenities as he walked away.

Apple was pretty sure Kyle would come back to her in the future, but that would be another day's trouble, for now, she had to get things straight with Jayden first.

Because it seemed this man needed to be told the boundaries between them.

"Okay, problem solved," Jayden said casually, lifting his arms from Apple's shoulders. "Let's go inside the house now."

But, before Jayden turned his body to enter the house, he caught Apple's movement and stopped her hand just in time before the girl managed to smoothly slap him hard.

"Wow! Calm down… what is this for?" he asked in a low voice, looking Apple right in the eyes and realizing how annoyed she was. "It was just an innocent kiss on the cheek, okay? I helped you, you have to admit that."

Apple wriggled her hand to get out of Jayden's grip and the man let go, but he still looked wary because Apple wasn't calm at all.

"Maybe you are used to just kissing every woman while they don't complain," Apple growled fiercely as she looked into Jayden's eyes and not only that, she even stomped her feet hard, one of her habits when she was angry. "But I'm not one of those women. I'm not your woman wagging my tail every time you touch me without consent!"

Apple stomped her foot hard, but this time she landed her foot on Jayden's and made the man groan in pain.

"Hey!" Jayden cried, limping from the pain. Apple seemed to be venting all her frustrations, so she didn't hold back at all when she crushed his feet.

But, before Jayden could get close to Apple or grab her hand to keep her from leaving, Apple had rushed into the house, leaving Jayden groaning in pain.

"Damn! It hurts like hell!" Jayden grumbled, who then followed her limping into the house.

Arriving inside the house, Jayden was immediately confronted by Pyro, who was already standing in the living room with his arms crossed over his chest. He had a hard to read expression on his face.

"There's something I want to talk to you about," Jayden said straight away, still wincing at the pain in his leg.

"Yeah, I have something to tell you too, boy," Pyro replied with a serious expression on his face. He then walked ahead with Jayden following behind him.

On the other hand, when he heard the term 'boy', Jayden knew that whatever Pyro wanted to tell him was something serious. He had never looked so concerned like this.

But, Jayden more or less knew what made the man act like this.

Looks like he owes someone an apology...

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

Pyro led Jayden into his study where the two of them sat across from each other with only a table apart.

Jayden didn't say anything, because he knew that what he was about to say would be cut off by Pyro, since the man had already shown indications that he was going to say something much more important.

"Jayden," Pyro began.

Here they go…

"You want to reprimand me because I kissed Apple on the cheek?" Jayden had beaten him to admit this first. "I did not mean it."

Pyro took a deep breath. He knew that Jayden meant no harm, because he had known Jayden for a long time, from the very moment he was born.

Literally, Jayden was like a child to Pyro.

"I know, I saw it all." Pyro admitted.

"I'll talk to Apple about this."

Pyro nodded. "I hope your relationship is nothing more than work."

In other words, Pyro didn't want anything else to happen between the two, especially if they started involving feelings. It wasn't something Pyro wanted at all.

Jayden was not bad, but because he knew the nature of this man and how he responded to the women around him, Pyro therefore would definitely disagree if their relationship developed more than something that was just work related.

It was not that Jayden treated them badly, it was just that Jayden had this tendency to treat them very well, even though he didn't have any feelings and would leave them when he had had enough.

Of course, Pyro didn't want that to happen to Apple. He knew his daughter very well. One of the reasons why Apple was able to stay in a relationship with Kyle for so long was because his daughter was too emotionally invested in everything she did.

"I see what you mean," Jayden answered bluntly. He looked serious when he said that.

However, unbeknownst to them, Apple was crouching in front of the door, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation between Jayden and her father, hoping she could hear her father scolding Jayden.

"What the hell are they talking about," Apple grumbled, because she couldn't hear anything.

The girl crouched uncomfortably, pressing her ear to the closed door curiously. She would love to hear her father nagging at Jayden.
