It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 492 A SERIOUS CONVERSATION

"Jayden…" Apple whined, she walked behind the man, staring at her door warily.

"Why? Haven't you been dying to go home since yesterday?" Jayden asked, walking slowly, because Apple latched onto him and gripped his shirt tightly, making it difficult for him to move.

"Could you take me to one of the Tordoff residences?" Apple asked, she didn't feel up to her father now.

Jayden laughed when he heard this. "Pyro will report me for kidnapping if I do that."

Ugh! Apple complained.

"There's nothing for you to be afraid of."

"I'm even more scared when you say things like that," Apple answered honestly, because usually Jayden would be a little unruly when he was ignoring something.

"Whatever will happen, let it happen," Jayden said lightly.

At last, they both entered the house and found Pyro sitting upright on the living room couch, waiting for them with a patient smile that scared Apple.

Her father wasn't usually this patient, it was precisely this kind of situation that made anyone even more wary.

Apple chose to sit next to Jayden instead of being close to her dad and this certainly didn't go unnoticed by Pyro...

Apple made Jayden a shield.

"So…" Pyro was just about to start, but Apple cut him off first.

"He's the one who suggested such things to me, he's the one who said he wanted to make me his girlfriend, I didn't even say 'yes' to his ridiculous suggestion. I don't even agree, dad, really." Apple immediately pointed at Jayden, throwing him straight at the hungry and angry lion.

Now, Pyro looked at Jayden very sharply, there were a lot of emotions raging from the way he looked at Jayden, but the most important thing was; Jayden was able to look back at him very calmly.

Even Apple, who wasn't staring at him like that, could feel her guts shrinking and didn't dare say a word more to her father.

"Don't you realize that you made a mess of going to the party with my daughter?" This time, Pyro spoke to Jayden not as a bodyguard who was considered family or as a teacher advising his foster children, but as a father, whose daughter had been exposed by the media because this young man in front of him gave the impression that there was something between them.

"I noticed," Jayden replied calmly. Calm enough to amaze Apple.

"You must have known that what you did to Apple would end up like this." Pyro would not believe it if Jayden said that he did not know the extent of the consequences of his actions.

Jayden was too smart and resourceful not to notice this kind of obvious thing.

"Yes, Pyro," Jayden answered firmly.

"So what game are you playing right now?" Pyro asked sharply. ????????????????????????d. ????o????

Jayden didn't show any expression. He was not being his playful self, nor was he being his scary looking self, full of cunning tricks. He looked ordinary and looked like a normal young man, without any extraordinary family background.

He was like a man facing the father of his lover and seemed calm in responding to the situation.

"I'm not playing games. I'm serious."

Pyro snorted. "Son, I've known you since you were in your mother's womb, you think I don't know your true nature?"

"In that case," Jayden said, then leaned forward a little, looked Pyro straight in the eye and let the man judge him. "You have known me since the first day of my life. Can't you tell if I'm talking seriously or just playing around?"

Apple wished she could disappear behind this couch when she felt the air become a little thicker than usual due to the tension that enveloped the three of them. Or maybe it was just Apple's feeling, because when she saw her father and Jayden, neither of them showed the same signs of discomfort as Apple was feeling now.

"Tell me now, am I just playing around?" Jayden asked again, repeating the sentence. "You know me better than that, Pyro."

Apple bit her lip when her father gave no response to the comment, not able to discern whether that would be a good sign or not…

But he didn't say anything to lighten the mood either. Well, Apple was currently thinking it would be best if she could just disappear from this room.

Apple didn't like situations like this.

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

"How are things inside?" Jimmy asked, surprising Apple who was preparing drinks for Jayden and her father.

Two hours ago, they had moved into Pyro's study to continue their conversation in more privacy.

And just now, she got a text message from her father asking her to prepare drinks for the two of them.

tsk! Apple wanted to know what they were talking about...

"I don't know," Apple grumbled as she stirred the coffee she was making.

"You don't want to eavesdrop on them again like you did last night?" Jimmy teased when he saw Apple's frowning face.

"You better get out of my sight right now," Apple growled, and then took the knife that was lying not far from her and gripped it tightly. "You are making me angry."

"Okay, okay..." Jimmy said, surprised to see the knife in Apple's hand. There was no guarantee that this girl would not attack him. "I will go now."

After saying that, he then stepped out of the kitchen and no longer bothered Apple.

Meanwhile, Apple put the knife back down and held up the tray containing two cups of coffee for Jayden and her father.

She walked briskly, for this was the only excuse she could use to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Once at the door, Apple knocked and heard her father's voice inviting her to enter.

Pyro was standing staring at the open window showing a very beautiful sunset, while Jayden was sitting on the sofa.

Quickly, Apple tried to make her own assessment of the situation going on inside Pyro's workspace. Only, there wasn't much she could come up with as the two of them had no emotion on their faces at all.

What exactly were the two of them talking about that took them two hours?
