It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

She found that the back of the house was not very tightly guarded and after seeing the last guard leave, she immediately looked around for a handhold for her to descend from the balcony of the room.

It was a bit challenging, but it was not a big deal for Apple because she felt she could do this. Hadn't she been trained to run away from home since she was very young?

Apple then went down the balcony and jumped into the nearest gutter, so she could jump to the ground a short distance away, then she jumped onto the flatter foundation of the house, before finally jumping to the ground.

A satisfied smile crept across Apple's lips as she managed to land well. Luckily, her room was on the second floor, so it wasn't too difficult for her to pull this stunt.

Only, just as she was about to walk toward the gate and think of a way to jump the Tatum residence's high walls, she saw Jimmy already standing behind her with two other men whose names Apple had forgotten.

"It was to be expected. It's true that you're going to do this," Jimmy said with a deep sigh. He then walked over to Apple and folded his arms in front of his broad chest.

"What is this?" Apple grumbled when she saw Jimmy there, quite surprised to have been caught pulling the stunt, but what annoyed her even more was the fact that she had been caught. It sucked of course.

She  had no intention of getting caught at all, especially by Jimmy.

"What do you mean you guessed this?" Apple grumbled, her face twisted wryly. She pouted in annoyance.

"I didn't guess this," Jimmy cut in, correcting Apple's statement. "Mr. Tordoff had told me what you might do." Of course, he wouldn't have guessed this, were it not for Jayden Tordoff who had warned him of the possibility that Apple would escape from the balcony.

"Jayden?" Apple felt the name roll distastefully on her tongue. She was furious now, not only because her escape plan was ruined, but also because she didn't expect Jayden to accurately predict what she would do. Was he a psychic?

"Yes, Mr. Tordoff warned me of what you were might do."

"And you believed it?"

"Not at first, but orders are orders, and now that I've found you here, I know that this conjecture he has is absolutely right."

Apple clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"Let's go inside," Jimmy said at last. "You're not going to climb up and into your room from the balcony again, are you?" This time, he teased Apple about her heroic action earlier and this made the girl even more annoyed.

"I want to go home!" she grumbled stubbornly.

"You know you can't escape from this place."

"Oh, I can beat you unconscious and then run away from this place," Apple said in an arrogant tone, confident with her self-defense abilities.

"Sure you can do that, I don't doubt it, but," Jimmy then smiled meaningfully. "Are you sure you can knock me out? You may be Pyro's daughter but I was trained by your father long before you started learning from him, okay."

Apple narrowed her eyes dangerously at the man before her. "We don't know if we don't try," Apple said diplomatically, then she took off her jacket and rolled up her sleeves.

Maybe she wasn't going to win against Jimmy, but at least she knew this man wouldn't seriously injure her. But then again, she needed to do something to vent her anger on Jayden and Jimmy willingly volunteered.

Apple couldn't possibly beat up the Tordoff heir, could she?

"If you insist," Jimmy said lightly, he took off his black coat and rolled up his sleeves.

And it was only when he did that, that Apple could see very clearly, the muscles hidden beneath his neat clothes.

You know, just like men who look slender and lean when they put on their coats, but when they took them off you could clearly see how nearly perfect their bodies were, with stunning biceps.

"Okay, I'm going back to my room," Apple said casually, picking up the jacket she had thrown to the ground before walking into the house from the front door.

Well, Jimmy wasn't going to give her a fatal blow or hurt her, but what if he accidentally hit her? Apple could already imagine the pain of that muscular fist.

Well, thanks, maybe next time…

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

Apple spent her time at the Tatum residence shutting herself in her room, eating, watching television, eating again and watching television again, because she didn't know what to do while waiting for Jayden to come back to this house.

This was frustrating and Apple couldn't figure out how to answer the endless phone calls from her father.

Yes, Pyro had contacted her dozens of times and was furious as he heard the news about her and Jayden.

Her father had warned her not to have more of a relationship with Jayden Tordoff and to stay away from the man.

However, now news about their relationship was spreading in the media.

"Ugh! I'm going to go crazy if this keeps up!" Apple grumbled as she grabbed her hair out of frustration that she was trying to shake off, only that it was hard to do considering she couldn't think of a single reasonable reason to give her father.

"Why are you going crazy?" a voice, that Apple had been waiting to hear from this morning, asked suddenly.

Immediately, when Apple heard Jayden's voice, she turned around and looked at the annoying man, who was now walking up to her before proceeding to take a seat beside her.

This time, Apple was in the living room watching a news program on television that gave rise to gossip about her and Jayden's relationship, while in front of her, her cell phone kept ringing, telling her that Pyro still hadn't given up on contacting his daughter.
