It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

"Ah, that…" Hailee muttered and only after Ian said this did she realize that what her best friend said was true. How could she have been this stupid not to have thought of such a possibility? Hailee wanted to curse herself. "So you think he already knew?" Hailee asked in a low voice, this time worry was palpable in her voice.

Ian heaved a heavy sigh before he finally answered. "I don't know for sure Hailee ... but, it appears most likely..."

Hailee gritted her teeth and grunted in annoyance. "Tell me straight, yes or no, your answer just confuses me more." Hailee hissed irritably.

"I don't know, it's you who were there ..." Ian grumbled. However, a moment later he changed his statement again. "But, I'm eighty-five percent sure that he's done a background check on you."

Hailee rested her forehead on the table. Ian's words only made her even more confused. "Then why do you think he didn't say anything and instead wanted to marry me?"

"I don't know," Ian's answer didn't help Hailee at all. "Ah, maybe because of that!"

"What?" Ian's exclaimed voice made Hailee lift her head and listen more closely.

"I don't know if this rumor is true or not, but there are those who say that Ramon Tordoff actually doesn't like women," Ian's voice became low and low toward the end of his sentence.

"What do you mean by 'he doesn't like women'?" Hailee could seemingly guess where this conversation was going, but she just wanted to make sure what she thought was true.

"You know, so far Ramon Tordoff has never been seen with any woman or in any relationship with women, as with all the wealth he has and an adequate face, he can get any woman he wants," said Ian with a more excited tone.

If Ian were right in front of her, Hailee would surely have kicked him in the shin so he could think straighter.

He made it seem as though this was the stereotype that people like Ramon should have, although it was undeniable that most bachelors like Ramon had women here and there.

But, that didn't mean every one is like that, right?

Ugh! Hailee felt like she was defending Ramon.

"… Hailee! Are you listening to me?" called Ian because he didn't hear Hailee's response after his long sentences.

"It can't be Ian," said Hailee in a tired tone.

"What's not possible? Maybe he wants to marry you to cover up that he actually has a crush on men," answered Ian, sticking to his own theory.

"Impossible." Hailee said again, this time more firmly.

Of course it was impossible for Ramon Tordoff to be interested in men, he had a girlfriend and their relationship had been going on for two years, it's just that no one knew about this.

"How could you possibly know for sure?" asked Ian defiantly.

"Because he has a real girlfriend and their relationship has been going on for two years," Hailee said with a loud snort.

"What?!" screamed Ian and Hailee had to keep the phone away from her ear. "You really are in trouble! What if his real lover comes ?! "

"If she comes back…" Hailee leaned her back against the back of the chair and massaged her throbbing forehead. "But, oddly enough after almost a month since the accident, no woman has come looking for him." This reality also annoyed Hailee.

"Do you know who his lover is?"

"No."

"What if she suddenly comes?"

"I don't know."

"You have to get out of there immediately."

"That's my plan."

After that the two of them sighed heavily and fell silent for a few moments. Busy thinking about the possibilities that might happen.

"But, if Ramon Tordoff really knows your real identity, then it is certain that he knows you lied by saying that you are his lover, then why is he still insisting on your marriage?"

Hailee closed her eyes. "I called you for a solution, but why do I feel like you're showing me more problems that I wasn't aware of before?"

Ian chuckled. "Shouldn't you be grateful?"

"I don't know," Hailee replied. "Rather than thank you, I feel like kicking you more."

This time Ian burst out laughing. He knew very well what kind of expression Hailee had on her face when she said that.

"Anyway, whatever it is, you have to be more careful of him. I feel like he has other plans for you," said Ian.

"Hm," muttered Hailee in agreement.

As the two of them fell silent again, Hailee tilted her head towards the reading room window that led to the street lamp in the side garden and pondered, letting her mind wander for a moment.

"Hailee?" call Ian again.

"Yes?" 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

"If it was true that both of you were going to get married and things weren't like this and he treated you well, your parents would have been very happy," Ian said with a tone like someone who was contemplating.

"I hope they would be happy, no matter what happens to me now or in the future," Hailee replied while biting her lip. She could feel the sadness that was starting to grip her.

It's not that Hailee never thought about them, it was just that with so many things that happened to her in a short time, Hailee was taking advantage of this not to drown in sadness.

"And besides," added Ian, this time his voice sounded lighter. "I want to see Aileen and Theo's faces when they find out that you are married to Ramon Tordoff," Ian laughed with a sly smile.

Hearing this, Hailee also laughed softly.

"Aileen will definitely bite her nails all over her hands and feet because she will be annoyed to death," Ian said with laughter between his sentences.

Ramon had just finished an important meeting with several board of directors and just as he was about to return to his office, Danny approached Ramon.

"Your guess is right," Danny said as he opened the door for Ramon and held him back as he entered the room. "Hailee used the phone in your house to call someone in town R district 18. A young man named Ian Schamber."

"A man?" Ramon raised his eyebrows. His future wife called a man in the middle of the night?

Seeing the reaction from Ramon, Danny immediately understood and hurriedly explained. "Looks like their relationship is not what you think." Danny then turned on his laptop and opened several files on it. "They are close friends."

"Men and women won't stop at just being friends," said Ramon in a stiff voice.

Hearing this, Danny was wise enough not to argue or correct Ramon. He then busied himself looking for the file that he had to show to this boss of his.

"This was a conversation between the two of them last night," Danny said then pressed the 'start' button on the screen.

And immediately, a man's voice was followed by a relieved Hailee's voice could be heard clearly.
