It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 352: SO, WHERE IS MY ANSWER?

"Thinking and missing you," Hailee smiled as she said that softly. She couldn't help but miss her husband and was a little annoyed that they had to stay apart for the night.

Hailee was used to having Ramon by her side when she closed her eyes and when she woke up in the middle of the night. Not to forget about receiving a good morning kiss from the man.

Therefore, to sleep alone, it felt a little strange.

"Me too," replied Ramon, he smiled as he looked at the garden behind his house, which was filled with Hailee's favorite flowers. Sunflowers. Maybe next time Ramon should ask why Hailee liked those yellow flowers.

There was a brief pause as neither of them spoke, but the silence didn't make either Hailee or Ramon feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, they both enjoyed the silence, knowing that on the other hand, their partner was listening to the same silence.

"I want you to be here," Hailee mumbled in a whisper. She just said this without thinking and knew that Ramon couldn't possibly do that. Therefore, before Ramon could respond to her words, Hailee added. "How was your day?" she asked enthusiastically.

Ramon muttered as he replied, "Very good. I finished some work, found new evidence on Leon's involvement with human trafficking and illegal activities, Giana came to the office, and about the news out there about Tordoff's name getting tarnished…"

"Wait a moment." Hailee cut Ramon's story short. Of all the information Ramon gave Hailee, only one caught the woman's attention, so that she sat on her bed. "You said Giana came to your office?"

Even just from Hailee's voice on the phone, Ramon could imagine what kind of expression his woman had right now. Ramon really missed Hailee. And he should have said this while looking at Hailee's adorable face…

"Hm," Ramon mumbled, enjoying Hailee's irritated voice. "She came to my office this afternoon."

"Then what did you do?" Hailee gritted her teeth. She was annoyed. Why did that shameless woman still dare to come to Ramon's office after what happened?

"I kicked her out."

No response from Hailee.

"I asked Danny to kick her out and asked the guard not to let her in when she comes again." Ramon added.

Still no response from Hailee.

"I love you, Hailee."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Not that." Hailee shook her head. "You kicked her out? She didn't get to see you?"

Ramon smiled. He did have the choice not to tell Hailee this, but he didn't want Hailee to hear it from someone else, and of course the second reason was because his wife was so cute when she was jealous like this.

"Of course not."

"I should have been there to rebuke her," Hailee grumbled. "Did you know what she tried to do to me when I was in that house?"

Actually, Hailee didn't want to bring this topic up for discussion, but since it had already been raised and she didn't feel awkward discussing this with Ramon either, she continued.

"What did she do?" asked Ramon, the smile on his lips fading when he heard what Hailee said.

With a grunt, Hailee then told what Giana wanted to do to her when the incident happened. Of course, although Hailee didn't add to the story she was telling, that didn't mean she couldn't incite Ramon's wrath, because after all she was a good storyteller.

"Lucky you came just in time..."

And if not… Hailee probably wouldn't have recounted what happened this calmly.

But, of course the last sentence was not spoken, but the two of them knew enough…

"She did that and how dare she provoke me when we were at the police station again?" Hailee smiled, knowing that her words would only fuel Ramon's anger toward Giana further. "The bodyguards pointed their guns at me..." Hailee whined.

Another spell of silence fell after Hailee finished telling this and she knew what Ramon's expression looked right now and what he was thinking, even though he didn't say it out loud.

Hailee loved this, she felt like she wanted to knock on Giana's door and give her two or twenty slaps in the face. Or maybe kissing Ramon and flirting with her husband in front of Giana would be much more effective at making the latter feel more miserable…

Hailee would think about that later.

"You haven't said it back yet," said Ramon, breaking the silence between the two of them.

Although he didn't continue the discussion about Giana, because it would only anger him and waste his time with his wife, that didn't mean he didn't calculate what he was going to do with Dawson's company in the future.

Also, he had a few percent of the company's shares in his hands.

"Say back what?" Hailee frowned in confusion. She didn't remember that Ramon had told her something.

"I love you," Ramon repeated again. Flirting with his wife had been proven to reduce the anger bubbling up inside him and this was good for his health.

Hailee laughed when she heard Ramon say that.

"What do you want me to say?" Hailee couldn't help but tease him. Of course, Ramon wouldn't get the words he wanted to hear that easily.

"I want you to answer."

"I'll answer it when you're in front of me," Hailee insisted and laughed quite happily when she heard Ramon grumble.

And the next five minutes of their chat consisted of Ramon forcing Hailee to say that and Hailee refusing to answer over the phone.

Until finally, the call ended because Lexus had finished eating and there were several things that Ramon had to discuss with his brother.

"You're still not going to say it back?" Ramon asked again to be sure.

"No..." Hailee said, laughing softly. "See you tomorrow then."

Ramon groaned and let Hailee hang up without getting what he wanted.

Meanwhile, in the room, Lexus had finished with his meal and was scrolling through some posts on his cell phone.

"So, can we talk now?" asked Ramon.

And with that, Lexus put away his cell phone and took a deep breath. He didn't want to talk about this, but he knew that something like this couldn't be left undiscussed, because pent-up feelings would boomerang one day.

That was what their father taught them, or maybe now Lexus should get used to the fact that Lucas was Ramon's father alone and not his.

Because his biological father was an asshole who had caused him to lose his nephew.

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

Ramon reached out his hand toward Lexus and patted the shoulder of his brother who was looking down, and felt his shoulders shaking slightly.

Lexus didn't want to cry or show emotions like this in front of Ramon, but his feelings really couldn't be described in words. Shame, despair and also anger that all this happened to him.

He felt it was unfair and at the same time he could understand why Lucas Tordoff treated the two of them differently.

Even when Lexus was treated unequally by his father, he didn't cry like this and only grew closer to Ramon, because his brother was a role model for him.

"Sorry..." Lexus muttered.

"For?" Ramon asked, frowning when he got the apology.

Lexus couldn't answer him. Even he didn't know what the apology was for. He just felt that he should apologize for what had happened to Ramon and Hailee.

Maybe it was an apology because he couldn't help them in any way or maybe it was because he was embarrassed…

Maybe he would feel better if Ramon beat him up and cursed him, blaming him for the death of his first child.

But, of course Lexus knew very well that Ramon would not be able to do that.

Therefore, Lexus could not answer Ramon's question.

"You're not like yourself," Ramon said in a calm voice and his words made Lexus lift his head and look at him questioningly. "My brother will not apologize for a mistake he did not commit."

Hearing that, Lexus looked down again and this time Ramon pulled his younger brother and let Lexus wet his shoulder with his tears, while he patted his back without saying anything else.

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

Hailee couldn't sleep. She felt lonely in the room she had lived in all her life.

And when she finally closed her eyes, it was very late at night.

However, Hailee's sleep didn't last that long, because not long after, she woke up when she felt someone open her bedroom door and walk inside.

Surprised, Hailee immediately sat up and directed her gaze toward the door after turning on the light. Her trauma after the kidnapping incident the other day was still afresh and maybe this was also the reason why she felt uneasy about sleeping alone.

And how surprised Hailee was when she found Ramon standing there.

"What are you doing here?" Hailee rubbed her face, thinking that this was a dream because she missed Ramon too much.

Hailee was also about to pinch herself when Ramon proved this wasn't a dream in a painless way.

Ramon pulled Hailee's hand that was about to pinch herself and kissed her lips gently.

Ramon's lips felt cold against hers.

"Why are you here?" Hailee then pushed Ramon, she wanted to know why this man came so late at night to see her.

"Didn't you say you wanted me here?" This time Ramon kissed Hailee's forehead. "So, where is the answer I want?"
