It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 101: SEDUCTIVE WHISPER

Chapter 101: SEDUCTIVE WHISPER

Theodore's eyes could not leave Hailee and her sweet smile for Ramon.

Somehow this was something that pissed him off. Seeing Hailee looking so happy and having absolutely no memory of their previous relationship, it was as if Theodore had never been in her life before.

At least, Theodore hoped that Hailee would look at him angrily or at least not see him as a stranger.

No, maybe that was not it either...

It was just, when you get used to thinking that the person would always be there without you trying to keep them by your side, but then that person behaved as if you were no longer important in their life, it would annoy you at once.

And that feeling was what Theodore felt today when he saw Hailee and Ramon's togetherness.

The way Hailee sat beside Ramon and how Ramon treated her with great care and made her blush. The sight upset Theodore very much.

Especially when he had to face serious problems with Aileen right now, such as Aileen's unexpected pregnancy.

"... and you just told uncle about this now?" Diego asked, the hard lines from the harsh military training, were still visible on his face, but the look in his eyes was so warm and soft when he looked at Hailee.

"It's not that…" Hailee smiled sweetly, feeling bad for Diego. "Uncle is far away and difficult to contact... so..."

"Hailee has been nagging for a long time that she wanted to come visit her family and share this happy news, but because of Mr. Tatum is still out of town after the funeral, we postponed our plans until you are available." Ramon grasped Hailee's hand gently. His humble words added a plus point to Ramon in Diego's eyes.

Meanwhile, Hailee next to him could only be grateful because Ramon was very good at composing words. She literally hit the jackpot by having him.

Rather than Theodore, that man would never treat Hailee like this...

Once in the past, Hailee was being scolded by her father and Theodore was standing right next to them, even so, that man didn't say a word, as if he didn't care what he saw…

Hailee then glanced at Theodore, who had been staring at her, and when their eyes met, the girl raised her eyebrows defiantly, as if to say; WHAT?

Even while receiving such a fierce gaze, Theodore only narrowed his eyes and didn't look away at all until Hailee ignored him again and leaned her head on Ramon's shoulder indulgently.

However, it was not only Theodore who was disturbed by how close Ramon and Hailee seemed to be, but Aileen too, especially when she saw how Theodore did not stop staring at her 'sister'.

"Giorgio and Diana will be very happy with your marriage..." Diego said softly, but then his eyes fixed firmly on Ramon. "I hope you will not disappoint my nephew."

Ramon then casually embraced Hailee and answered Diego's words in a deep and earnest voice. "Certainly."

Let's just say, Hailee didn't hear the rest of the conversation because she felt so high in the seven clouds over how sweet Ramon was to answer Diego with one word; certainly.

The word sounded very sweet in her ears and made Hailee blush, even during their small talk, Hailee could only smile to herself, while occasionally glancing at Ramon who treated her like someone very special.

Such as; pouring tea to her, oh, Ramon also knew how many tea spoons of sugar Hailee usually take, even though she never said this, Ramon's ability to observe his surroundings was indeed above average, making the affection he showed did not seem like just a show, but the real one.

Or, how Ramon occasionally played with Hailee's hair during his conversation with Diego, because Theodore would prefer to be silent and answer if he was asked, as if his tongue suddenly went numb and lost its ability to speak and this rubbed off on Aileen.

Hailee didn't really listen either, when Theodore finally spoke, explaining his engagement plans with Aileen to Diego, because at that moment, Ramon was whispering something in her ear.

"So that is your ex-fiancé?" Ramon whispered, smiling mysteriously, making other people who saw the two of them think that Ramon was whispering romantic words.

"Shut up," Hailee admonished as she lightly smacked the man's thigh.

"I think you feel a lot better now that you can escape a guy like him," Ramon said, still in his deep voice. His warm breath tickled Hailee's neck, suddenly making her mouth go dry.

Ugh! Couldn't he not be like this in front of other people? It's too intense for Hailee's weak heart. However, Hailee also had no intention of avoiding this special attention from him.

"What kind of man do you mean?" Hailee asked in a low voice.

Hailee and Ramon whispered to each other in the middle of Diego, Aileen and Theodore's conversation about their engagement plans which would be held one month from now, so it was certain that the two of them were not taking their chat seriously and this showed very clear, making Theodore occasionally have to stop talking, annoyed by Hailee and Ramon's public display of affection.

"What kind of man would glance at another woman when his woman was right next to him?" Ramon asked her back.

So all this time Ramon had been aware of Theodore's lingering gaze on Hailee. Hailee's guess regarding Ramon's extraordinary observational skills was indeed right.

"Why? Are you jealous?" Hailee teased Ramon, glancing at him with a mischievous smile on her lips.

"Jealous?" Ramon raised his eyebrows and returned Hailee's mischievous smile. "Mrs. Tordoff, how many times do I have to save you? I guess even the value of your family's company is not worth what I have done for you."

This man is still thinking about gains and losses!

However, Ramon's words referring Hailee as Mrs. Tordoff, made Hailee's heart trembled and? felt warm. It's a cute title and Hailee loved it.

"So, what do you want Mr. Tordoff? Apart from that company, I don't own anything anymore…" Hailee asked, drawing a circle on Ramon's thigh with her delicate fingers, glancing at the man next to her with a provocative smile.

"There is one thing you can do as my wife later," Ramon said in a mysterious tone, making Hailee frown.

"What is that?" she asked a little warily, afraid that this guy might ask for something strange, because sometimes, Hailee couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Ramon then tucked a loose strand of Hailee's hair behind her ear and kissed the sensitive part behind Hailee's ear quickly. "You can give me cute children."

"Ramon!" Hailee was shocked to hear what Ramon was saying and out of instinct, hit the man's thigh with exasperation.

Ramon didn't even flinch when Hailee did that and only chuckled at her frustrated face.

"Ahem," Diego cleared his throat, reminding Hailee and Ramon that they weren't alone in the room. But, from the look in his eyes, it could be seen that Diego did not mind the interaction between the two. "So, how about the preparations?" He then continued his conversation with Theodore.

"Oh, that..." Theodore stuttered, finding himself forgetting where their last conversation was before the interruption and it was Aileen who continued Theodore's explanation.

Although Ramon would respond to Theodore's words every now and then for politeness reasons, others could tell that he was not at all interested in the conversation.

On the other hand, Hailee could no longer concentrate on her surroundings, because this stupid head of hers kept repeating Ramon's last words, over and over like a broken record, even though Hailee tried to think of something else.

'You can give me cute children'

Children…

That meant he was expecting more than one… how many children does Ramon want?

Wait! Wait! Stop thinking about that!

But, as if refusing her own orders, she imagined what their children would be like and began to search for beautiful names with good meanings. Memorizing every name she had heard.

Ugh!

Hailee didn't even think that Ramon was the type of a family man, even she didn't know that Ramon liked little kids. How sweet is that right?

And that was what happened for the rest of the conversation, until George's wife and son showed up with the other three Tatum elders and they took this chat more seriously after lunch.

George, who had been silent, finally spoke up when Aileen said that Ramon ordered a pair of wedding rings in Blue Sea as a wedding ring for himself and Hailee.

"Yes, I got the report." George took a solemn sip of coffee. "But, I guess there is an unpleasant mistake."

They were now in George's backyard, as all the family members gathered to continue their chat, including two old men; Derek and Ed Tatum, who are George and Diego's uncles, as well as Emelyn Dean, Derek and Ed's younger sister.

The three of them are the three elders of the Tatum family and live far from the city of R with their respective families.

This time, they used the occasion as a reunion event for them, after a long period of not able to meet each other.

"Is there a problem?" Ramon asked casually, embracing Hailee, who comfortably rested her head on the man's shoulder, a cookie in her right hand and a cup of tea in her left.

Hailee didn't even expect that she would enjoy this family reunion so much.

"Yes, maybe the management is too late to tell you this, but we are not selling the ring." George put down his coffee cup slowly and got questionable gazes from the various pairs of eyes that had gathered here.

"The last information I heard, the price for the diamond was fixed," Ramon said, looking neither surprised nor bothered by the fact George had just shared.

"What do you mean George?" Emelyn asked with a frown. "I also heard the same news, that the diamonds will be released to the public and Mr. Tordoff here will give it to Hailee, isn't that perfect?"

However, George shook his head. "No, because Aileen will use the diamond as their wedding ring."

Those who were present looked surprised, including Hailee and Aileen.

Why the hell is this uncle saying that?! Was he trying to humiliate Ramon by saying nonsense? What happened with this sudden change of attitude? Did he have something inside his mind?

"What?" Aileen was as surprised as they were, she had never imagined that her father would be this generous toward her. He must want something in return for the ring… That was what Aileen thought.

However, it seemed that only Ramon did not take that matter so seriously. "Hm," he muttered. "Oh, I see…"
