It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

"Reporting to the authorities?" Ramon narrowed his eyes, he sighed in exasperation when he heard that. "How could you be such a fool?"

"Maybe genetics?" Jayden replied and got a deadly glare from Ramon.

"I would never take that path," Ramon growled dangerously and Jayden shrieked in his chair.

Did I say the wrong thing? Jayden thought he was just saying what was on his mind…

"Then what kind of path will you take?"

"Don't you have your own channel in the underworld network?" Ramon rested his elbows on the armrests to support his chin, looking at his son. "Why don't you take advantage of that?"

"It would destroy their family," Jayden replied in a tired voice.

"Then? Is there a problem with that?"

"I don't have a problem breaking the family, but Alina will find trouble with me," Jayden said in an annoyed voice. He took a deep breath.

"She wants to destroy the family herself," Jayden said.

"Just pretend you're helping her."

Jayden narrowed his eyes at his father. "Dad, don't tell me you forgot, the last time I helped Alina, she destroyed my favorite car."

Ramon cleared his throat, as if he had not heard the words.

"And you didn't punish her at all." Jayden would never forget that moment, because he was very, very angry with his older sister for destroying his beloved car.

"That's because you wrecked the car first, wasn't it?"

Jayden's expression changed and he no longer looked irritated, instead, he looked like he hadn't heard the words.

Well, Jayden destroyed the Apple car because he didn't want his older sister to date a guy from the Gevano family.

"Okay, I will handle the Gevano family as you wish, but you have to handle your daughter," Jayden said in the end.

"My daughter is your sister," Ramon said while Jayden just shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"So now we have a deal, okay," Jayden said in a light voice. "Don't let Alina destroy my car again."

"Don't bring Misha into this, because your uncle is so worried about his only son."

Lexus doesn't want Misha to get involved in Jayden's complicated life-threatening problems, he just wants his son to become a businessman.

"If he's so worried, why doesn't he go make another son?" Jayden grunted. "I didn't take Misha with me anyway, he's the one who always follows me."

"You never asked him at all?" Ramon asked in a probing tone.

"Well, I did invite him once in a while..." Jayden's correction hastily.

And after that, their conversation was much lighter and away from bloody topics.

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

Hailee took Apple for a few hours to the biggest shopping center in City A and Apple could see where Jayden's extravagance was coming from.

After nightfall and Apple's feet were sore, and the bodyguards had turned into porters carrying Hailee's shopping bags, it wasn't until Mrs. Tordoff called it a day.

She looked satisfied at the results of her hunt and asked the bodyguards to bring the items to the car first, while she and Apple would have dinner at a restaurant nearby.

"Shouldn't we take Jayden and Mr. Tordoff to eat together?" Apple asked carefully because she didn't want Hailee to think that she didn't like eating alone with her.

"Of course not," Hailee replied, tossing her long hair. She looked beautiful even in her old age. People would see the two of them as sisters, rather than people from two different generations. "There are many things they will talk about, and there are also many things I want to talk to you about."

Hailee's smile was so sweet and genuine, looking harmless, but the words she just said really made Apple speechless. How could she talk so honestly with such a calm face?

"You don't need to be nervous, I won't interrogate you," Hailee laughed softly, waving her hand lightly. "So when was the first time you met Jayden?" Hailee asked then.

And now, Apple could see where Jayden got his complicated personality. Didn't Hailee just say that she wasn't going to interrogate her?

But, then the next question is an interrogation, right?

"That…" Apple looked around her. There were two bodyguards standing guard by their table, enjoying coffee while looking around, while the other four bodyguards returned to the car to put their bags away.

Apple felt awkward when she was the one who had to be guarded by the bodyguards, when she was used to being in their position.

"Just say it, don't be shy," Hailee said, urging Apple and it sounded like a real interrogation.

"Actually I met Jayden while he was in the hospital…" Apple then recounted the facts, but of course she missed the part where she put a gun to Jayden's head.

She didn't want to mess with Mrs. Tordoff just by narrating a story.

Then the story rolled to where Apple helped Jayden find evidence against the Gevano family's crimes and also during the last party, where ehe stole important data from the company.

"Wow! You guys look great together," Hailee said, her eyes twinkling with pride while Apple felt there was nothing to brag about. "I guess that's what made Jayden fall in love with you."

Apple grimaced when she heard that. "Actually… Jayden can't be said to be in love with me…" Apple admitted in a low voice, she looked embarrassed when she explained what Jayden had actually told her.

Apple then explained how calculative Jayden was when he said he wanted her to be his girlfriend and explained how he felt comfortable with her because he didn't have to tell about his problems and the trauma he was going through to other people, because Apple already knew about this and helped him too.

"Doesn't that sound like a compromise?" Apple said at the end of the story.

However, Hailee actually laughed when she had finished hearing Apple's explanation of how her son had expressed his feelings.

"I think that's typical of men in the Tordoff family," Hailee said.
