It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

"They will press for marriage on the pretext that you have slept together and are afraid that Apple will have children out of wedlock," Misha explained in a matter of fact tone.

For a moment, Apple seemed to be trying to digest Misha's brief explanation, because it sounded so absurd to her ears, but then once she understood what Misha meant, she exploded.

"Grandson my ass! We didn't even do anything!" Apple shouted at Misha, but the man only glanced over while waving the phone in his hand, a mischievous smile etched on the corners of his lips as he said.

"But, too bad, it doesn't look like that in the photo I took just now." After saying that, Misha casually walked out of the room, leaving Jayden to deal with Apple.

After there was only Jayden and Apple, the girl immediately turned around and glared at Jayden. "So?"

"So?" Jayden asked Apple back with an innocent look. Well, he is trying to look innocent now, even though he is actually holding back a smile.

"You are not going to explain that? That it was just a misunderstanding?" Apple asked grumpily. She was really worried about what Hailee would think of her because she didn't want her to think badly after seeing those stupid photos and videos.

"You don't have to worry," Jayden said, kissing Apple's forehead. "My mother wouldn't think so badly."

Actually, Jayden could already imagine how Hailee and his uncle would react after seeing the video, but maybe later Jayden would explain a bit to them.

After that, they both came out of the room and found Misha cooking.

Apple raised an eyebrow when she saw that, but Jayden snorted when he saw Misha wearing an apron.

"I didn't know you could cook," Apple commented.

However, Jayden then lowered his body and whispered into the girl's ear. "We should just eat out, you won't want to taste his cooking," Jayden whispered.

Apple then turned and looked at Jayden in confusion. "Why do we have to eat out when Misha is going to cook something for us? Isn't that right?" Apple then turned to Misha to ask for reassurance from him. "You are going to cook for us too?"

"Of course," Misha replied in a low voice, he then threw a sweet smile to his cousin, who looked panicked while trying to pull Apple away.

"You are not going to like this," Jayden persuaded Apple again for the girl to go with him, but unfortunately, Apple wouldn't listen to Jayden's explanation and refused to leave.

"No, Misha's cooking, I want to know how good it will be." Apple pushed away Jayden's hand trying to pull her away.

"Trust me, you won't like this."

But instead, Apple sat at the bar and stared at Misha chopping up the ingredients skillfully. He's so skilled at chopping them up, so at least his cooking wouldn't be as bad as Jayden's trying to describe it, would it?

"Apple, you will regret this."

Unfortunately, the warning had no effect on Apple because her curiosity far outweighed any possible regrets of hers.

Misha didn't look so bad and looked as if he had cooked dozens of times.

"Sit down and calm down, I will cook for both of you, because it looks like you two are very tired," Misha said softly and smiled meaningfully at Jayden, which made his cousin wince.

"Apple, you have to think about this carefully..." Jayden said as his last attempt to convince Apple, but the girl didn't seem to be listening at all, as she was more interested in finding out what Misha would cook for them and how it would taste because of Jayden's reaction was very suspicious.

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

"You should have warned me more determinedly," Apple said as she plopped down on the bed. Her expression looked dejected.

Perhaps this is the right definition of the saying; Don't judge a book by its cover alone.

Indeed Misha looked skilled when he prepared the dish earlier, like a chef with great abilities, but who would have thought that the end result would be so disappointing.

You could say the end result was simply a disaster.

Apple had never eaten food that tasted so gross as Misha's. If Jayden hadn't told her that was the end result of every dish, she would have thought that the man was trying to outright poison her.

"Are you sure you don't want to see a doctor?" Jayden asked and then lay down on the bed next to Apple.

Apple chuckled when she heard that. "I guess it won't be so bad that I have to go to the hospital, right?"

"Just in case," Jayden said quietly, then he pulled Apple into his arms. In fact he was still sleepy, if only Misha had not suddenly come and disturbed his sleep.

"You should go back to your room," Apple said, but she felt comfortable in Jayden's arms, so she snuggled closer to him.

"Yeah, I am going back to my room," Jayden said, but he closed his eyes instead. "Just a moment. I just want to close my eyes for a moment."

Hearing that, Apple just mumbled incoherently and when she felt comfortable and safe in Jayden's arms, she didn't protest anymore and closed her eyes too.

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

Jayden had this feeling again when he suddenly woke up to find Apple beside him, still snuggled comfortably in his arms, whose sleeping face was so sweet that Jayden spent a few more seconds just staring at her.

Until he realized this familiar feeling, which he had felt before and turned his head only to find his mother sitting on the sofa, in the corner of the room, watching the two of them in silence.

Really, this is the most horrible moment Jayden has ever felt in his life, he can't even speak and can only shake Apple's body to wake the girl up, while Hailee is still staring at the two of them without saying anything.
