It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Apple woke up when she felt Jayden's body press very tightly against hers and made it a little difficult for her to even breathe. Even though the air conditioner was running quite fine, it didn't seem like it had much effect on Jayden who was sweating and burning hot.

This made Apple feel a little uncomfortable until she opened her eyes, whereupon she found herself in Jayden's arms. Before she knew it, one of them had torn down the 'barriers' made of pillows.

Sounds ridiculous, but that was what happened, only Apple had not had a chance to protest about it when she felt Jayden's hot body under her palms until it made her frown.

Apple then reached out to touch Jayden's forehead, in order to check his temperature and how surprised she was when she found that this man had a high fever.

"Jayden…" Apple called his name softly, but upon getting no reaction, she called him louder while shaking his body. "Jayden."

A low moan escaped Jayden's lips when he finally opened his eyes and found Apple shaking him worriedly.

"What is it?" Jayden hugged her again and made Apple feel so hot again. Since when did he have a fever like this? Wasn't he fine last night? Apple got a little confused because of this.

"You have a fever."

"I don't have a fever. Ow!" Jayden grimaced as Apple pinched his waist because he was denying his own body condition. "I'm fine."

"You're not okay," Apple said firmly, after which she freed herself from Jayden's embrace and distanced herself. "I'll call the doctor."

"No," Jayden said quietly. "I will be fine. I just need some sleep."

Jayden tried to reach for Apple, but the girl had gotten out of bed and walked briskly toward the door to call for Adrian, while the man was standing right behind the door with another person on guard.

"You surprised me," Apple said, as if scolding him for surprising herself.

"I'm the one who should say that." Adrian touched his chest dramatically when he saw how Apple looked now.

Not only were her face and hair messy, even the clothes she was wearing looked rumpled.

"At least fix your appearance before meeting someone," Adrian grumbled. "You scared me."

That last statement was too much. When they first met, Adrian looked down on Apple because she was a woman even though she was the daughter of Pyro, since he didn't see her that way.

It wasn't until Apple had taught him a lesson or two that he could appreciate herself better.

Annoyed, Apple ruffled her hair with her hands while saying urgently. "This is no longer my problem. You should find a doctor for Jayden."

"What's wrong with Mr. Tordoff?" asked Adrian, his expression serious. "Is he sick?"

"Yeah, looks like he got a fever. His body is very hot."

Adrian then took out his cell phone to call the Tordoff family doctor. "Could it be because of the instant noodles he ate last night?"

"Impossible," said Apple, waving her hand. "I ate the same instant noodles last night and I'm fine."

"But you're used to eating instant noodles," said Adrian while making a phone call. "Jayden Tordoff's stomach is definitely different. He's not used to eating cheap food like that."

Apple sneered when she heard that. "Seriously, how could you come up with such a ridiculous excuse?"

However, Apple was actually quite worried that it was because of the instant noodles they ate last night, because after all, what Adrian said was true. Jayden wasn't used to eating such food.

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

"Seems like you've been seeing doctors a lot lately," Misha commented as soon as the Tordoff family doctor stepped out of the room, after checking on Jayden. While Apple was together with Hailee, escorting the doctor while listening to his further explanation.

"Stop it. Not now," Jayden groaned in annoyance. His head ached terribly and throbbed exasperatedly. "Can you close the curtains? The sun's rays make my head hurt even more."

Jayden closed his eyes as the midday sun shone straight at him and dazzled him.

"With pleasure," said Misha, who then stood up and walked toward the curtain, but instead of closing the curtain, he pushed it aside completely, which made Jayden curtsy. He threw pillows at him immediately.

Misha easily dodged Jayden's pillows. Even after four pillows were thrown at him, not a single one could hit him.

"Your pitch sucks," Misha said.

"Close the curtains," Jayden grumbled as he hid himself under the covers, avoiding the midday sun.

"Now I wonder, why are there so many pillows and blankets in your room? What are so many pillows for?" Misha noticed this oddity, but Jayden was hiding under the covers. "Hey, I'm asking you."

Misha then pulled the blanket over Jayden and put it away from him.

"Are you molesting me? I'm sick," Jayden growled. If only his head didn't feel like it was going to burst, he would have beaten Misha up for what he did just now.

"You just have a fever, don't be so dramatic." Misha then gave back the blanket he had taken. "I have information we need to discuss regarding the Gevano family."

"You can discuss that later," said Apple, who walked into the room and found it very bright because all the curtains were open. "What's going on here?"

Hearing Apple's voice, Jayden emerged from under the covers and whined at her. "He bullied me." Jayden pointed at Misha, "I told him to close the curtains but he opened them all instead."

For a moment, Apple stood between the two cousins ​​and stared at them one by one in disbelief.

"People will find it hard to believe you two were actually grown men, because you two were behaving so childishly."

"I just teased him a little," Misha said defensively.

Only, Jayden did not accept it. He then pointed at his cousin. "He always bullied me. Even since childhood he has always bullied me."

On the other hand, Apple shook her head tiredly. "I can't believe the two of you."
