It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

"Not just my parents," Jayden replied. "The whole family will be there."

Apple almost choked when she heard Jayden answer so calmly.

"What?" She widened her eyes in disbelief. She hoped Jayden would laugh and say it was all a joke and then grin mischievously, like he always did.

But, when Apple saw no indication that Jayden was going to say his words were a joke, she started to worry. No, Apple freaked out.

Meeting Jayden's parents alone was enough to make Apple feel almost a heart attack coming, how could she be able to face the entire Tordoff family?

Apple shook her head emphatically, refusing Jayden's request. "No, no, I don't want to be at the party."

"Why not?" Jayden asked, knowing that Apple would turn him down. He had thought of a thousand and one ways to persuade this girl, but before that he had to know for sure, what was really making Apple feel uncomfortable.

"Because I don't have proper clothes," Apple replied after she had wrecked her brain for an excuse, but what came out of her lips was a simple excuse that was certain that Jayden could easily tackle down.

"I can give you whatever clothes you want so you can go to the party."

It was the answer Apple had been anticipating from Jayden, of course what he said was true. Therefore, Apple must immediately find a new way.

"I don't feel comfortable being in a crowd." Especially when these people would think that she only approached Jayden because of his status and wealth. Isn't that what big families like Tordoff always think when they find that one of their family members has been in a relationship with someone who has a social status far below them?

"But, you feel comfortable with me?" Jayden asked in a calm tone. He knew that everything that came out of Apple's lips later was just an excuse, because he thought he knew the real reason Apple why declined his invitation.

Apple pursed her lips. "Is that question even relevant?" she asked cautiously. You have to have this kind of caution when you face Jayden Tordoff who looks calm and collected. He is not being his goofy side character, so Apple has to make sure she doesn't get caught.

However, when Jayden saw Apple start to put her guard up, he chuckled lightly. This girl looked like someone who was about to be attacked.

Thus, Jayden leaned forward and lightly kissed her lips to lower the tension hanging in the air.

"What was the kiss for?" Apple grumbled while frowning. They were having a serious conversation, but suddenly Jayden kissed her. What a strange creature.

But, Jayden refused to answer that, he just laughed softly and looked deeply at Apple, his lips still curling into a sweet smile.

"You do not have to feel uncomfortable being in a crowd, because you will always be with me. Forget the crowd and focus only on me." He rolled his eyes playfully at Apple. "I would be happy to have your attention all day long."

Apple snorted at that, but she smiled giddily inwardly. It was cheesy, but for some reason Apple was delighted when Jayden said that.

"Okay, so you agreed to go, didn't you?" Jayden asked when he saw the look on Apple's face.

"I haven't said anything yet," Apple protested.

"You don't have to say anything, I can see it right in your eyes," Jayden replied confidently, then he pulled Apple to sit next to him. "Why do you always sit far from me? Should I buy a smaller car so there won't be too much space between us?" Jayden contemplated that idea for a while.

"Stop being so silly," Apple said quietly, but she managed to rest her head on Jayden's shoulder and it felt… comfortable enough, Apple loved it, while Jayden's arms wrapped around her waist protectively.

"I like being silly for you," Jayden said softly into her ear and this made Apple laugh. "What is so funny?"

"You sound so cheesy," Apple admitted and Jayden laughed along with her.

"Well, you have to endure it for the rest of your life. So start getting used to this." Jayden rubbed the top of Apple's head and seemed quite satisfied that Apple had started to get used to being around him.

"I guess I will have to start getting used to your other unique traits first," Apple muttered.

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

Early in the morning, Apple, who was opening her laptop looking for a suitable job opening, suddenly got a phone call from a number she didn't recognize.

When Apple picked up the call, a woman's voice in a formal and cheerful tone greeted her and asked to confirm her identity.

"Yeah, that is me," Apple replied slightly confused. "Who is this?" she asked.

Then the woman said that she called Apple because she was interested in the photos sent to them and asked if Apple was interested in becoming a model in their agency.

"Model? Photos?" Apple is confused by all of this. What does that mean? What photos? She didn't feel like she had been photographed for anything recently. The only thing she did and that had to do with the photos was to help Ivan.

"Yes," the woman replied cheerfully.

"I think you got it wrong, I have never been photographed for any event," Apple said politely because she still felt there was a misunderstanding in this conversation.

However, the woman assured Apple that what she said was true and she also didn't understand why Apple didn't know that she was the model in the photo, because her photo was chosen from among many other photos.

And at that moment, Apple realized one thing. "Where did you get my number?" Apple asked, because she was sure not many people had her contact details. There were only less than two hundred numbers in her contacts.

"From Studio Stardust," the woman replied.

"Who is the photographer?"

"Ivan Andreas," she answered.
