It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

"I am just worried that you will ruin your own life, is that a mistake?" asked Nadia with a slightly changed attitude. She looked at Apple with an annoyed look.

Of course, Nadia wouldn't really object to Apple's relationship with Jayden, because what parent would turn down Jayden Tordoff? Well, Pyro had doubts about the man actually...

But that is because he loves Apple so much more than Jayden, who was basically a guy he had known since childhood too.

"You shouldn't be around that male model, what if Jayden thinks you're having an affair with that guy and leaves you?" And this was the main reason why her mother was so worried that she finally decided to go see Apple, to make sure that their relationship was okay.

The opportunity to be the mother-in-law of someone like Jayden Tordoff and be a part of the Tordoff family certainly didn't come around every day, did it? And Nadia would make sure that this opportunity did not go to waste.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, this time Apple actually laughed when she heard that and leaned over.

"Jayden knows me much better than that, he is not going to leave me just because of some stupid news from the media that's nearly bankrupt now." Of course, the company almost went bankrupt after facing a lawsuit filed by the Tordoff family's attorney.

It was something they should have anticipated from the start. Did they think that just because Apple was close friends with Ivan, she would help him and let that man walk all over her? Oh, of course not…

She didn't know what the man was doing now and how he was dealing with Rachel and her betrayal, but for sure, in the past two days Veronica, the editor-in-chief of the magazine had been in contact with Apple constantly, asking to meet.

She was even willing to let Apple decide where or when they could meet.

Of course, Apple did not respond to any one of her requests. She had a lot of other things to take care of lately.

Also, although Jayden didn't say it out loud, Apple knew that his feud with the Gevano family wasn't over yet and as the days went by, the tension was only getting more and more pronounced.

Although Jayden tried to cover it up by acting silly.

"Apple… you can't keep punishing mom like this," said Nadia sadly. "Are you going to keep ignoring me like you are now?"

"Punish? When did I punish you?" Apple then nodded at the food in front of her and just at that moment, the waiter came with two bags containing the servings of calamaries for the two of them. "I even paid for your food and your drinks. When did you see me punish you?" After that, Apple asked the young waiter for a bill.

Nadia looked a little grouchy when she heard this. She didn't have anything to say, because there really wasn't anything she could say in a situation like this.

"If you're done with what you want to say, I'll go," Apple said in a tired voice. What was even the real point of this meeting?

Apple couldn't say she was upset or happy to see her mother again after so long, because she didn't feel anything right now.

"Wait a minute," Nadia said quickly after that, she then immediately stood up and held Apple's hand, as she was about to leave. "You're going to invite mom, right, to your wedding?" she asked hopefully. "You may not know this, but you have a younger brother who is seven now."

Seven year old little brother?!

Okay… that was news for her!

It was certain that the surprised expression on her face was very obvious because this made Nadia a little nervous as she hurried to explain, of course, with a dramatic story of her own.

"After you left, I felt guilty and to save my marriage with your stepfather, we tried to have children, because it felt very lonely when you weren't home," said Nadia.

Wow… Apple was really flattered when she heard that. They felt guilty and lonely after she left and instead of looking for her or trying to mend their relationship, they had a child?

Great.

"Thanks for telling me that I have a brother," Apple said in a very sarcastic tone, but this didn't stop Nadia at all from making the situation much worse for Apple.

Because after that, she reminded Apple to invite her to her upcoming marriage to Jayden Tordoff one more time.

"You're going to invite me, aren't you?" her mother asked hopefully, regarding Apple with a sweet smile on her lips. "There's no way you won't invite your mother and brother."

"Younger brother? The little brother I just knew of less than a minute ago? And a mother I just met after ten years of no contact at all?" Apple raised an eyebrow. She then grabbed the plastic bag containing her takeout. "I'll think about it, but don't expect too much."

After saying that, she walked out of the cafe and got into the car and drove away.

Meanwhile Adrian and other bodyguards immediately got into their cars and left too, leaving Nadia who was still sitting at the table.

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

"Where have you been?" Pyro asked when he saw Apple had just come home with a bag of food.

On the sofa, Apple could see Pyro and Misha, sitting watching the news and this sight was really strange for Apple, because Misha wasn't usually so laid back.

Well, he had been acting a little strange the past few days since they had last seen each other.

"I went to a cafe nearby and bought this. I tried it earlier and it tasted really good," said Apple as she walked into the kitchen. She took out one of the calamaries she bought earlier and plated it in two plates, which she gave to Pyro and Misha while she ate the other serving.
