It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Apple had no idea that she could fall into Jayden's trap so easily and admit her lies thoughtlessly.

And now, she was in the same car as that annoying man, while he was busy playing games on his cellphone.

Apple wanted to get mad and rebuke Jayden, but then she remembered that she wasn't in a position to win this fight.

"Stop frowning," Jayden said, without even taking his eyes off the game. "You're really not cute like that."

Apple snorted when she heard what he said, but then her eyes widened in surprise and her head turned to face Jayden when she felt the man's lips against her cheek.

"What the hell is that for?" Apple covered her cheek with her hand and turned quickly to face Jayden. "Did you just kiss me?" she hissed in annoyance.

Jayden smirked, now that he had put his phone away. "Yes," he answered proudly, he could see the blush on the girl's cheeks. "My dad used to do this whenever my mom was upset and he managed to calm her down."

Apple rolled her eyes and folded her arms, as she shifted her gaze to the other side of the car, looking down at the street through her windshield.

However, it was obvious that she just felt awkward.

But then, Jayden reached out his hand and pinched her chin, so she would turn around and face him.

"Hey," Jayden said softly and huskily, his gaze so intense, looking straight into Apple's eyes until the girl lowered her head. "I know that you don't like me yet and are still confused about my proposal of us being lovers, but at least you'll give me a chance, won't you? Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to me."

Apple risked her heart to steal a glance at Jayden, but as soon as their eyes met, she immediately turned away her gaze again and was now staring at the hem of her shirt. Her heart was beating so fast she could feel her face heat up to be stared at by Jayden Tordoff like that.

Damn! How many women are willing to kill each other just to be in her position now?

"So? At least let me try."

"Whatever," Apple said curtly, but she bit her lower lip to suppress a smile when she saw Jayden's genuine smile out of the corner of her eye.

"Thank you."

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

Jayden walked into his office with Apple beside him, while Pyro could only shake his head when he saw the two of them, he stopped in the lobby and didn't follow Jayden, because he had other things to do.

However, his steps came to a halt when he saw someone he hadn't seen in months.

His eyes widened in disbelief when he saw the figure, waving at him.

"David? What are you doing here?" Pyro immediately asked, running to his old friend.

David is Ramon and Hailee's bodyguard, and because the couple chose to settle on their small island, David joined them to settle there as he had no family, but after a few years there, he found a woman who had now become his wife.

"Yeah, I got here very early."

"Why didn't you say hi to Jayden earlier? He will be pleased to meet you."

But, David just laughed softly and patted his shoulder. "Because this is a secret mission."

Pyro frowned. "Wait a minute." He then turned toward the elevator that was sending Jayden and Apple to the man's office. "If you're here, that means…"

"Yes. They are here too." David then followed Pyro's line of sight and found the figure of Apple there. "Your girl grew up to be a very attractive woman."

Pyro grimaced when he heard that. "I worry about her getting into the Tordoff family."

But, David actually laughed out loud when he heard this. "You worry too much, you've worked for them for years, there's no way you don't know their nature, especially Jayden." David shrugged nonchalantly. "It could be said that you also contributed to raising that man."

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

Jayden knew that if there was something wrong with the state of his office, his employees seemed more engaged in their work, even though they occasionally stole glances to see who he and Apple were.

But, Jayden felt there was something bigger that made them more nervous, than their need to gossip, talk about Apple being back together with Jayden, even after Pyro returned to work.

"You can ask someone else to do this, you know..." Apple said in a low voice, she was also aware of the sneaky stares thrown by the employees in this place.

"No, I want you to do it." Jayden then put his arm around Apple's shoulders and pulled her into his office.

Despite the bad feeling he felt, Jayden ignored his intuition and chose to step into his office, only to find two people waiting for him there.

"Let go of me," Apple grumbled, but then she sensed something was wrong with Jayden as the man stopped walking and stared at the sofa, where two figures were now standing facing them and giving Jayden a meaningful look, especially his arm that was wrapped around Apple's shoulders, making the girl froze where she stood.

"Jayden," Hailee called in her soft voice, but her gaze fell on Apple who was standing next to her son, while Ramon Tordoff stood beside his wife with an expressionless face. "Is this the future wife you told mom about?"

"What?" Apple frowned and cold sweat formed on her forehead when she realized what Hailee had just said.

Especially when Jayden pulled Apple in front of him and closed his office door, kicking it arbitrarily.

Jayden smirked as he introduced Apple. "Yes. This is my future wife of choice, I hope you can treat her well," he said proudly.

Hearing this, Apple widened her eyes in panic, especially when she saw a big smile forming on Hailee's lips.

"Great!" she exclaimed happily. "I can't wait to have grandchildren!"

What!?
