It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

"Feeling guilty because I got hurt?" Apple asked Jayden when she saw the man's expression as he cleaned the cuts and blood on her hand.

Apple didn't feel any pain nor would she have realized that she had been hurt if it weren't for Jayden telling her.

And now that she knew she was hurt, she started to feel pain a little, especially when Jayden rubbed alcohol over the wound before he applied the ointment.

"Of course not, you decided to get on that ship yourself," Jayden replied in a low voice, but his focus was still on Apple's injured hand.

Meanwhile, the girl pursed her lips when she heard Jayden's answer that sounded heartless.

"Okay, it's over now," Jayden said as he slapped her hand a little harder, causing Apple to scream in pain and kick his leg.

"Hey, I just helped you to clean your wound," Jayden said, wincing in pain because Apple didn't hold back her kick at all. "At least, a thank you would sound nice," he grumbled.

"Thanks," Apple replied nonchalantly before walking to her motorcycle languidly. "Since today's matter is over, I'll be going home first."

"I'll take you home," Jayden said walking over to Apple, but the girl had started the engine and waved at the man.

"Tsk, this girl is really unbelievable," Jayden said with a heavy sigh.

Meanwhile, Misha came from behind him and gave him the car keys. "You drive."

"Why should I drive?" Jayden protested.

"Since I'm older than you and you asked for my help to come here, so at least show your gratitude."

Jayden snorted, his cousin always used the same excuse every time he did something.

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

Apple woke up when she heard the sound of her cell phone ringing so loudly near her ear.

And when she was about to open her eyes, she immediately grumbled in annoyance because the sunlight coming in from her bedroom window had almost blinded her.

Therefore, when she finally picked up the stubborn call, she didn't have time to see who the caller was.

But, it was not necessary, because Apple immediately recognized his voice even when she was only half awake from sleep.

"Where are you? It's noon and you're still not here," Jayden grumbled. Apple groaned in annoyance and Jayden immediately noticed that the girl had just woken up and wasn't fully awake yet. "Are you still sleeping? Seriously… I've tried to call you dozens of times," he said in disbelief.

"I'm off today, so stop bothering me!" Apple cried hoarsely. Just being woken up by the sound of the phone in her ear was already terrible enough, let alone hearing Jayden's protesting voice.

"Just do overtime today."

"I won't accept overtime today." Apple glanced at the clock on the wall in her room and was pretty sure she had only slept for about four hours. How could that man still sound so energetic and not tired after what happened last night?

Did Jayden not sleep at all? This man really was amazing, but in a bad way.

"No, you must accompany me today."

"I'm off today. Just get someone else to do it and stop bothering me!"

After saying that, Apple hung up the phone and pulled the blanket over her head again, but since she was already awake, it was hard for her to sleep again, therefore, Apple blamed Jayden for this.

This guy was really really annoying.

And then, with unsteady steps, Apple walked out of her room and washed her face. She intended to make breakfast, but apparently her dear father had made a plate of fried rice for her.

"What is it? I heard you screaming from the room. Jayden?" Pyro asked. He was enjoying his coffee and was about to change the bandage on his hand.

Apple intended to help, but Pyro waved his hand, as if to say he could do it himself and his daughter could just enjoy her meal.

"Yeah, that Jayden sucks," Apple said with her mouth full and bit her spoon like she was biting the guy. "Can't he give me a day off? I have been doing overtime every day."

And then, Apple spent an hour telling how annoying the guy was and what happened last night to her dad, while Pyro just laughed when he heard that.

"Stop laughing, you know how pissed I am?" Apple protested because her dad really wouldn't stop laughing.

"Jayden is like that," Pyro said after he finished laughing. "He doesn't trust people easily and is always on guard. But, once he trusts someone then he always wants that person around him."

Jayden could be very obsessive when he fell in love with something, but could also act like he really depended on or trusted someone even though he didn't really feel anything for that person.

Leaving that person with the wrong interpretation because of his attitude that could be very easy going and easy to approach.

However, if circumstances changed, then he could also change his attitude in just a matter of seconds.

In other words; Jayden was incredibly manipulative and this was one of the reasons why Pyro didn't want Apple to get too close to him.

Not because Jayden could do anything bad to his daughter or harm her, but because he didn't want his daughter to be hurt and misinterpret his attitude.

"And why can't he give me a break?" Apple snorted resentfully. She then went back into her room to get her cell phone without hearing her father's answer first.

Of course the answer was very simple. Because Jayden really trusted Pyro and Apple was his daughter, he was treating Apple the way he treated Pyro.

It was just that, such a relationship would of course be difficult considering the two of them could be trapped in a more complicated relationship.

In the room, Apple took her cell phone and saw that there were dozens of missed calls from Jayden.

"This man is really crazy…" Apple grumbled, but before she put her phone back down, she saw that there was an incoming message from someone she didn't expect at all.
