It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Ivan didn't know what to do anymore, now he was in the hotel and received no phone calls from anyone, especially from Rachel and numbers he didn't recognize, which he assumed were Rachel too.

How could that woman betray him? After everything he had done and all the sacrifices he had made to make her happy… this was how she would treat him?

Ivan couldn't believe what would be happening to his relationship with Rachel now.

Moreover, all the problems and all the sacrifices, even to have to lose a friend like Apple and pawn his pride… they all ended in vain.

Ivan shook his head. He was really angry and couldn't forgive Rachel and himself for being so stupidly tricked by a woman like Rachel.

And now, it seemed Rachel had started to realize that something was wrong with Ivan, because he hadn't received her calls and wasn't in his apartment either.

Overall, Ivan had been ghosting Rachel, just as Gladys had Derek.

For now, Ivan didn't want to talk to anyone or meet anyone else. He just wanted to be alone and in this room, which he felt was like a hiding place that would allow him to think clearly for a moment.

How could Rachel be that stubborn?

At first Rachel sent some voicemails, he could still hear her sweet voice asking where he was, but after that, those voicemails turned into worried questions because Ivan had suddenly disappeared.

Then the voicemails sounded so angry that Ivan was making her anxious.

How dare that woman be mad at him after what she did to him? Did this woman have no self-respect? Did this woman have no feelings?

Ivan kept thinking about it and now he was really annoyed that Rachel had really turned himself this way.

Then the voicemails sounded very sad and it was certain that Rachel had shed some tears, asking Ivan to explain what was wrong and if they were all right.

Tsk!

That shameless woman wasn't even ashamed to lie anymore and pretend that he was the villain in this matter and she was the victim.

There was even one voicemail asking if Ivan went to another woman and dumped her. Had he been having an affair?

See?

How could she say that, crying that Ivan had an affair when it was herself who had gone ahead and done it?

Very shameless. That woman was so shameless.

Ivan was very angry and also annoyed. But, he was even more mad at himself for letting Rachel fool him into this.

"AARRGGGH!" Ivan shouted angrily and chucked his phone at the mirror, sending the mirror to the ground, shattered into a million pieces, just like his life and his trust in Rachel now.

It was certain that Ivan would have to compensate for the mirror, but he didn't care at all.

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

Rachel paced back and forth in front of Derek. She was so annoyed, worried and scared that Ivan didn't pick up her phone. She couldn't even think straight now.

Meanwhile, Derek didn't care about her being upset.

"Why didn't he pick up the phone from me?" Rachel grumbled impatiently, tugging at her hair in annoyance, especially when she looked at Derek blankly watching television.

It wasn't clear what he was thinking, but she then took the television remote and turned it off, causing Derek to glance at her. However, he gave no reaction after that.

"Can you sympathize a little with my plight?" Rachel grumbled irritably at Derek.

Derek just glanced at Rachel and stared at her blankly. Never before had Derek looked at her like that and this made Rachel feel awkward and didn't know what to say.

Instinctively, Rachel took a step back because she was afraid to see the look in Derek's eyes. He looked so cold and Rachel felt that she had lost control over this man.

Derek and then Ivan. What was with these guys, why were they treating her like this now?

"Sympathize with you?" asked Derek coldly. "Who are you, actually?" he asked again.

Even after being treated so harshly last night, Rachel still thought that Derek still had such strong feelings for her and he was so frustrated that he vented it that way.

Therefore, Rachel let last night's incident go and chose not to bring it up again.

But, who would have thought that this man had actually acted like that because he no longer had any feelings for her?

"Derek, don't start with that again," Rachel grumbled in annoyance. Derek kept asking this question and this annoyed her, especially since Ivan was also acting weird right now. "You know what our relationship is like, don't you? We…"

"I don't know…" Derek cut Rachel off and then stood up, which made Rachel take two steps back from him because she was scared. "I never wanted an open relationship. You're the one who wanted it."

"We've been doing this for years and you're making a fuss about it now?" Rachel asked in disbelief. She shook her head, trying to control the situation and making Derek think that this was his fault too. And he was wrong if he wanted to push all the blame to Rachel. "You're fine all those years, so what happened now? Why are you bothered about it?"

Derek snorted and narrowed his eyes. "It's not that I don't mind it, but it's only now that I realize how stupid I was to live such a life," Derek said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean, Derek?" Rachel narrowed her eyes. "If you really don't want to comfort me, there's no need to say that!" Rachel hissed in annoyance.

"You are asking me to comfort you while you are thinking about another man?" asked Derek sarcastically.

"You know what our relationship is like, don't you?" Rachel was starting to lose control over herself now.

"Relationship?" asked Derek sarcastically. "There is no relationship between us. I am through with you."
