It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Nadia didn't think that Apple would actually do something like this. How could she do that to herself? She was her mother, after all. There was no way she would let herself get into trouble with the law, right?

But Apple didn't seem to have that thought. She was serious about what she said.

"How can you leave your child alone in a strange place?" Apple pretended not to see James' angry look.

"I didn't leave him in a strange place, I told him to meet his sister who he never met," Nadia tried to shift the blame on Apple, because it was clear that she was afraid that the authorities would get involved in this.

It seemed that this was not the first time Nadia had had to deal with the authorities regarding matters concerning Jack.

"I never agreed to keep him," Apple said. "I never agreed to even meet him. If you let that kid come to me unsupervised, that's abandonment, and I guess that's what you did."

"How could you do this to your mother?!" cried Nadia frantically, she stood up and held her chest while crying.

On the other hand, Apple looked calm, she wasn't panicking or trying to calm her mother down at all, because she had seen this happen many times in the past and present, it didn't affect her at all.

"How could you do something like that to your son?" replied Apple in a calm, firm voice. "You did it to me in the past and now you are doing it to your second child. If you really can't care for and protect your child, you shouldn't have one."

For some reason, Apple felt a little sensitive about this, maybe because she was pregnant, therefore, she felt this was very personal to her.

And now she realized that she didn't know how to be a mother, but for sure, she had a mother figure she didn't want to emulate at all. Maybe, she could start from there.

"Don't you dare yell at your mother like that!" James exclaimed as he grabbed Nadia and hugged her like he was protecting her from some evil.

Meanwhile, Derek could only watch all this with a confused face, as he didn't know what to do now. Sigh… this guy was really useless.

They were all so cute.

Apple then stood up, because now that everyone was standing, this way, if James suddenly planned to attack her, then she would be ready. No one knew what was really going on in this ignorant man's mind.

"I came here to ask for an explanation, but if the explanation you can give is only a sentence; so that Jack can get to know his sister, that didn't seem like a plausible explanation at all," Apple said quietly but clearly. "Then I will excuse myself first."

"What!? You want to just leave!?" exclaimed James disapprovingly, he tried to stop Apple by pulling her hand, but quickly, Apple swatted the man's hand away and looked at him with scornful eyes.

"Don't you dare touch me," Apple growled. She didn't want to be touched by this bastard at all. "If you touch me again without permission, I won't let you go."

"What would you do?! You are going to run into Jayden Tordoff's arms?! You are going to complain to that guy?!" shouted James.

"Why should I complain to him? If I ever complain to him then I can assure you that it will be your last day." Apple was not exaggerating when she said this.

James should have known not to mess with the Tordoffs, no matter how ignorant he was.

"You have become so arrogant now!" cried James angrily. He couldn't hold his anger anymore and tried to get to Apple, but Derek immediately acted and tried to stop his uncle.

However, his strength was completely incomparable to this man's, he was too strong and James easily pushed Derek's body aside, sending him crashing to the floor.

Meanwhile, Apple was already prepared to face this man. She looked so calm when the man approached her brutally and tried to hurt her, but she was ready for all of that.

Apple narrowed her eyes when James raised his hand, about to hit Apple like he used to do when she was a kid.

At that time Apple was too small to fight back and could do nothing about it, but now things were different.

When James stretched out his hand, Apple slightly moved to the side and ducked to avoid his punch, but then she stood up straight and gave a kick to his face.

This made James fall down right next to Derek, who was now looking at her with wide eyes of fear and it made Apple quite happy to have frightened him like that. He deserved to be scared like that.

"Apple!" exclaimed Nadia who then tried to approach James. Her face looked worried. "What are you doing!? How could you beat him like this?!" Just like before, her mother started scolding Apple.

Ugh, being here for too long really didn't help Apple mentally at all, she needed to get out of here and let the happy family enjoy their time.

"Child welfare services are coming soon, maybe today or tomorrow, you can deal with them," Apple said.

Nadia then panicked even more when she saw blood pouring from James' nose and parted lips. "STOP!" cried Nadia angrily. "I SAID STOP!"

Nadia was surprised when Apple didn't respond to her words the way she always did. Of course, she was a decade too late to make Apple obey such an order.

Therefore, Nadia then stood up and grabbed Apple's hand, trying to slap her.

Only Nadia should have learned not to do the same trick when she saw what happened to James earlier.

"Don't get in my way," Apple said, slapping her mother's hand away.
