It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

"I am Derek." The man introduced himself to Apple while holding out his hand.

This man named Derek looked cute with glasses perched on his nose and an athletic body. He looked like someone from a prominent family in this L city.

Apple looked doubtful when she saw the outstretched hand, because she didn't want to make friends with anyone in a place like this. She didn't even think about getting acquainted with anyone in her current state and situation.

In the midst of the confusion, before Apple could decide what she was going to do, someone had reached out his hand first, over her shoulder and grabbed the man's hand.

"Jayden," he said.

Not only was Apple surprised when she heard the name, because the man behind her was standing right behind her back, so she could feel the man's broad chest and the warm breath that brushed against her neck, but Derek also seemed surprised when a man suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Jayden Tordoff," Jayden said even more firmly now. He looked Derek straight in the eye when he said his full name.

Needless to say, Apple knows very well who this man is, even before he said anything, Apple could hear his voice quite clearly and could confirm for sure without even seeing his face first.

"Jayden… Tordoff…" Derek said with a surprised face. He then grimaced slightly, but then his facial expression returned to normal.

Apple could see that Jayden was holding Derek's hand too tight before he pulled his hand back and rested his hands on Apple's Shoulders.

"Nice to meet you, Derek," Jayden said with a smile on the corners of his lips.

"What are you doing here?" Apple asked, she turned his body to face Jayden and found the man looking at her with a look in his eyes that was hard to explain and this made Apple frown.

"Don't mind if I join in here?" Jayden asked Derek kindly, but the man had other thoughts.

"Of course," Derek replied calmly. He quickly regained control of himself and started initiating a conversation. "Excuse me, is this your lover? Because I saw her sitting here alone."

Jayden smiled kindly, but Apple was sure it didn't look as harmless as it appeared. After that he took a chair and placed it in the middle, right between Apple and Derek's, which automatically distracted Derek's attention from Apple.

"Of course, you didn't see the latest news?" Jayden asked lightly, then he ordered a drink from the bartender there, he also ordered a glass of juice for Apple, to which the girl glared at him. Juice? At a bar? Oh, please…

"Oh sorry, I don't watch the news much," Derek replied lightly. It sounded like a light answer, casual even, but of course Jayden could hear the scorn in his voice, as if this man was saying that the news in the media wasn't important to get his attention. "So I don't know about the rumors circulating out there."

Jayden laughed softly when he heard this and Apple could feel the hairs on her neck stand up hearing Jayden laugh.

"Yes, ignorance is bliss, right?" Jayden then put his elbows on the table, this time his movement completely covered the Apple from Derek's view, hiding her behind Jayden's broad body.

"Right." Derek raised his glass and drank it in front of Jayden. "So, may I know the girl's name?" he asked again.

"Of course not," Jayden answered firmly.

"She doesn't seem comfortable enough to be controlled by you. Don't you think so?" Derek nodded at Apple.

"Oh, you are talking about juice? Juices are good for the body and after all, I will let her order whatever she wants after I get rid of the distractions around her now." It goes without saying that the 'distraction' Jayden was referring to was Derek himself.

However, the man seemed too dense to understand this and instead tried to talk to Apple again.

"Shall we go to the dance floor? You don't mind dancing with me, right? Then you can tell me what is your name, I am sure you will be more than happy with me," Derek said enthusiastically, he tilted his head so he could see a bit of the top of Apple's head, which was behind Jayden Tordoff's body.

At the same time, Jayden's and Apple's drinks were finished and Apple stared at the juice with displeased eyes, but when she heard what Derek had to say, she seemed much displeased.

"No thanks," Apple said, this time pushing Jayden away so the man stopped blocking her view. "I don't really like dancing and he's my boyfriend, so I guess you should back off."

Derek looked a little surprised when he heard this, but then he composed himself quickly. Well, Apple was a little impressed with his ability to calm himself back in seconds.

"You seem too controlled by him. You must not be happy in this relationship." He even clicked his tongue when he said this.

And one more thing that Apple didn't like was that people were as knowledgeable as Derek and have unreasonable assumptions that he believed in.

"No, actually I am the one who controls this man." Apple then turned her attention to Jayden, while the man only raised his eyebrows slightly, looking eager to know what Apple's plans were. "I want to go home now, take me home."

Apple didn't say that in a demanding tone, but it almost sounded like an order and Jayden chuckled as he answered the order.

"Yes, ma'am, anything for you," Jayden then took out a few bills, which Apple felt were too much to pay for their drinks. But, then Jayden with a big smile, turned to face Derek and smirked. "It's on me."

He paid for the three of them and held out his hand to help Apple get off her bar stool and walk away, leaving Derek alone to watch them leave, without him knowing the girl's name.
