It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 190: A SECRET (2)

Chapter 190: A SECRET (2)

Honestly, if he could choose, it would be better for Ramon if Hailee came into the room and grumbled, spilling out her irritation again and this time Ramon would respond in a different way and not be so cold to her.

Unfortunately, Hailee didn't do that and Ramon didn't know how to start a conversation with his wife, because all this time the one who always initiated a conversation was Hailee.

Lexus.

Ramon closed the laptop in front of him violently until it made a fairly loud sound, which echoed throughout the deserted workspace.

This was so annoying! And this feeling was so foreign that it made him feel uncomfortable. Ramon didn't like to get his emotions involved in everything he faced, but this time the situation was different.

Roughly, Ramon reached for his cell phone and then called someone.

The wrinkles on his forehead became more evident when the phone call was not picked up. Actually, this should not come as a surprise, considering that it was already past midnight. It was not a hard thing to guess that Lexus might have slept after this day's party.

However, Ramon didn't have anyone else he could ask about the problem he was facing right now, so he tried to get back to Lexus.

The second call still got the same result.

The third call was the same. Only when he tried calling for a fourth time, did Ramon get connected with Lexus.

"What is wrong?" Lexus' voice sounded very heavy, filled with intense drowsiness, which almost unbearable.

If it weren't for Ramon's name that appeared on his cellphone screen, Lexus would definitely turned off his phone call before continuing to sleep again.

Because the caller was Ramon and his brother called at an unusual time, therefore Lexus immediately sat down, in order to get rid of the little drowsiness in his system.

"What is the problem?" Asked Lexus again because he didn't hear Ramon answer him the first time.

On the other hand, Ramon himself was not sure what questions he should ask Lexus. He himself was confused about where to start to explain this situation.

"Hey, are you okay?" Lexus rubbed his face roughly, trying to hold back a yawn. "Did you fight with Hailee?" He guessed right.

However, Ramon still didn't give any answer. The man looked pensive in his own seat, lost in thought.

So far, Ramon had never asked Lexus for his opinion, because he was the best decision maker of the two of them.

Therefore, when at this time Ramon had to ask Lexus what to do with Hailee, he felt very uncomfortable and his self- esteem was a little bit wounded because of that.

"Nothing," Ramon answered Lexus. "Wrong number."

After saying that, Ramon then ended the phone call and got up from his chair.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Tordoff residence, the second son of the Tordoff family was staring at the screen of his cellphone which had turned dark with disbelieving eyes.

"Wrong number?!" Lexus growled in annoyance. "How could you have the wrong number when you called me! Am I not your brother anymore until you forget my very phone number?! Ugh!"

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

It seemed that there was no other way for Ramon to get rid of this feeling except by walking over to Hailee and talking about the matter again.

Even that was only possible if his wife was still awake. But, if Hailee was already asleep, it meant that Ramon would have to wait until tomorrow.

And after all, Ramon was feeling tired and needed a rest after all this day's events.

On his way back to the room, Ramon remembered the words of Giana, who told him that his relationship with his mother had turned out to be very bad.

Ramon knew that he and his mother often have disagreements, but didn't know that the problem was much more complicated than he had imagined.

And what was more, it seemed like there were some secrets that he knew about his mother, but was forgotten because of this amnesia...

It didn't take long for Ramon to get to his and Hailee's room and immediately, the problem of his mother was forgotten, because there was an equally serious problem waiting behind this door.

He had to calm down his angry wife. And this was a very annoying job, because Ramon didn't know where to start.

What's more, when Ramon opened the door to his room, he didn't see the figure of the woman there and the bed was a little messy, indicating that Hailee had been waiting for him, but decided to leave.

Of course, Ramon knew where that woman had gone.

"Tsk, what else does this woman want?" Ramon grumbled as he walked out of his room again to go to Hailee's room.

And sure enough, Ramon could see the mound of her body under the blanket. She even hid her head underneath it, covering her whole body and making herself almost invisible.

Seeing Hailee who was sulking, Ramon walked over to her and then sat on the edge of the bed to announce his presence in the room.

There was no meaningful movement from Hailee, except for the soft sound of her breathing which indicated that she was still awake, but just pretending to be asleep.

"I know that you haven't slept yet," Ramon said in a much gentler tone than the one he had used when he said that Hailee was too emotional.

Maybe, here it could be said that Ramon was now feeling too emotional and tired when he had to face how Hailee was now with him.

"Want to talk to me?" Ramon asked as he patted Hailee's body, what he felt was part of her arm.

Still no answer from Hailee.

Okay, looks like this would be a monologue from Ramon, seeing how Hailee responded to him. Whether this wife of his was just pretending to be asleep or not, he decided to tell her what had happened this afternoon between him and Giana.

"Giana came to see me after I finished the meeting," Ramon began, and although it was only a small gesture, he could see that Hailee was responding to these words, so he continued. "Giana said that she knows some secrets that I told her, but I can't remember because I haven't got my memory back yet."

"What secret?" Hailee's voice caught under the blanket she used to cover her face. She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Hearing Hailee's muffled voice, made Ramon smile. He knew very well that his wife often acted out of the ordinary, but somehow he always liked her.

Precisely, this was what interested Ramon, making Hailee look much more attractive in his eyes.

"I will tell you if you talked to me directly." Ramon made use of his speciality, namely bargaining.

"I am talking to you right now," Hailee grumbled back from under her blanket, still not wanting to come out of her hiding.

"I am used to talking while looking into the eyes of the other person I am talking to, so if you cover your entire face with a blanket, it can't be said that you are talking to me directly," Ramon argued back very skillfully.

Silence then stretched between them for two full minutes as no one wanted to budge.

And after two minutes, Hailee's voice was heard again. "Just tell me, I'll listen," she said gruntly.

However, Ramon insisted on his decision not to have started the story if Hailee hadn't lowered the blanket that covered her entire face.

Knowing that this effort would not work and knowing how stubborn Ramon could be when he had already decided on something, Hailee finally gave up, she then lowered the blanket that covered herself, but of course Hailee didn't want to lose.

Hailee only lowered the blanket that covered her face only as far as her nose, while the rest of her body was still well hidden.

Didn't Ramon say that he only needed to look at the other person'seyes in order to speak directly? Then, Hailee could just show her eyes to Ramon.

Seeing his wife like this, Ramon could only smile faintly. He knew that this alone was progress for this situation.

"Quickly say what you and Giana did this afternoon when you refused to answer a phone call from me?" Hailee again demanded Ramon to explain the matter, her voice still furious, but not as sharp as before.

Ramon then began to recount what happened earlier, about what happened between him and his mother according to Giana's narrative.

There really weren't many things the two of them discussed in the car, because Ramon and Giana were busy analyzing each other, being too careful in conveying their thoughts and taking more consideration of them that it seemed like a long time in unfavorable situations and conditions, too inconvenient.

"Then you just believed what that snake woman said?" Hailee asked in disbelief. She would be very disappointed if Ramon just swallowed Giana's words and trusted her blindly.

Ramon shook his head. "Of course not," he replied.

"Then, did you go out to dinner with her?" Hailee narrowed her eyes. It seemed like the fact that Ramon went out to dinner together with Gianawas much more interesting to her than the fact that Ramon was previously investigating his own mother, where there was a secret that Ramon knew about Liz, which he told Giana.

Ramon was silent for a while and this annoyed Hailee. She then removed the blanket and sat down before folding her arms across her chest.

"You had dinner with her." This time Hailee used an accusing tone to convey her sentence.

However, unexpectedly, Ramon laughed out loud at his wife's reaction, which he thought was very funny.

"What are you laughing at?" Hailee frowned, not liking how Ramon was laughing at her. "What is so funny?"

And Ramon did another unexpected thing, he stretched out his arms to embrace Hailee, ignoring the woman who was struggling and threatening Ramon to let her go.

Of course it was only a bluff, because a moment later, it became obvious that Hailee was enjoying Ramon's treatment, even though the expression on her face still showed annoyance.

"No," Ramon said softly into Hailee's ear when his wife had stopped fighting back. He rubbed her back to let her calm down. "I turned down the dinner invitation from her."

"Why?" Hailee was quite surprised to learn that Ramon actually refused Giana's invitation. Didn't Ramon want to know what secret was there between him and his mother?

"Do you want me to go with her?" Ramon asked back and this got a strong reaction from Hailee.

"Do you have a death wish?"

"I guess that means a 'no'."

"Then, what about the secret that Giana knows? Do you believe that?"
