It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 720: LET'S GO BACK TO SLEEP

Apple woke up in the middle of the night feeling hungry, even though she had eaten quite a lot at dinner last night, but she was starving again, she wanted something sweet.         

    

She then remembered the cake she had bought on the way home, from a cake shop she chanced upon and looked very attractive.     

Apple then removed Jayden's hand that was hugging her, luckily, this time the man didn't hug her very tightly, like he usually did, maybe because he was afraid that something might happen to Apple's pregnancy, so he didn't dare to do that kind of thing.     

Also, tonight Jayden seemed to be sleeping very soundly, he looked so tired lately, that when Apple removed his hand and placed it above a pillow to cuddle it instead, he was still asleep.     

Even when Apple got out of bed and out of the room, Jayden still didn't wake up.     

Apple then walked into the kitchen and found the box of cake she had bought and sliced a piece for herself. She also took some milk and filled a glass to the brim.     

While enjoying her late night snack, Apple watched a funny video on her cellphone when a message from Gladys came in. The content of the message was only a short question.     

[Asleep?]     

Apple then remembered her idea to make Gladys her maid of honor, so instead of replying to the message, Apple directly called her, which she picked up on the first ring.     

"What is it?" asked Apple. She heard Gladys whispering, sounding a little worried. "I was snacking, are you okay?"     

"Derek is here." And then, in the ten minutes that followed, Gladys explained how Derek got there.     

Apparently, since Gladys thought all the issues regarding Derek had been resolved, that the man would no longer bother her, she lowered her guard, since Derek was no longer trying to come to the apartment or trying to contact her.     

However, it turned out to be far beyond Gladys' expectations, because tonight, an hour ago, Derek came back to her apartment very drunk and Gladys couldn't bear to send him home, especially since she didn't know where the men lived either.     

"As for where he lives now, I can tell you the address," Apple said as she ate her cake and then when the piece she had cut had disappeared into her stomach, she took a new piece and started eating again. The taste of this cake suited her palette and this made her very happy.     

"How do you know where he lives?" asked Gladys in surprise.

And then, Apple told how she met Derek at her stepfather's house when her mother left her stepbrother at Pyro's house just like that and how surprised she was when she found Derek there, that he was the one who opened the door for Apple.     

"This world is really small, isn't it?" said Gladys in a tired tone. How could they meet each other by chance like that? "I heard news about you in the media, are you okay?" asked Gladys, a little worried.     

"Yeah, I'm fine," said Apple lightly as she finished her second slice of cake and a glass of milk. She felt very full now. "The news didn't bother me."     

"In that case, thank God." Gladys then heaved a sigh of relief. "Then what should I do with this man?"     

Feeling pity, Gladys let Derek in. And now, he was in the living room of her apartment, fast asleep, his body full of a strong smell of alcohol and this left Gladys flinching.     

"I'll send my mom's home address now, you can pack him there by asking someone for help," Apple said in a light tone. She said it as if Derek was an item and not a person.     

"Oh, okay… I'll do that." Gladys then glanced at the delirious Derek. "He kept spouting apologies to me, even in his sleep."     

"So?" asked Apple skeptically. "You're going to take him back?"     

"Of course not," Gladys answered quickly. She wasn't going to take Derek back. Especially after what he had done and after all she'd met other men and needless to say, her breakup with Derek wasn't as painful as she had previously thought. "I just need a little idea what to do with this creature."     

"Ah, I have an idea…" said Apple with sparkling eyes.     

"What?" Gladys asked enthusiastically.         

    

But, then Apple hesitated a little, because this was very malicious, actually this idea had been in her head since she found out that Kyle cheated on her. She wanted to do it for revenge, only Apple didn't get the chance to carry out the idea.     

"What? Just say it," urged Gladys, curious as to what idea Apple would give her, whether it was a very dangerous thing.     

"It's not dangerous, it's just…"     

And that was how Apple told her the idea she had in her head about her revenge plan that never materialized.     

=======================      

Jayden woke up when he felt that what he was hugging was not his woman's body and a pillow instead.     

"Apple?" Jayden called out to her in a still hoarse voice. He looked around and tried to find the girl, but it seemed she wasn't in the room. From the direction of the bathroom, Jayden did not hear any sounds either.     

Therefore, he immediately got out of bed and headed straight for the kitchen, because he knew that Apple would usually snack at night at this hour.     

And sure enough, as he walked closer, he could hear Apple's voice on the phone with someone, but when he walked in, the call was cut short while she said goodnight to Gladys.     

Hm, it turned out she called Gladys.     

"Why didn't you come back soon..." Jayden said in a still sleepy voice, he then laid his head on Apple's shoulder and muttered. "Did you call Gladys?" he asked, his eyes closed. He was still sleepy and his hair that was starting to get a little long looked messy.     

Apple rubbed the man's cheek and he snuggled closer to her, yawning.     

"Yeah, I called her earlier," Apple said, but then she gasped.     

"What is it?" Jayden asked, he then raised his head to look at Apple's face, because she made a sound like that suddenly.     

"I forgot to ask her to be the maid of honor for our wedding," said Apple, because earlier they were busy talking about how to get back at Derek, she had forgotten why she had called Gladys in the first place.     

"You can see her tomorrow," Jayden muttered, then stood up and pulled Apple to her feet as well. "Let's go back to the room, I don't want to sleep alone," he said.     

Jayden then pulled Apple back into the room, so they could go back to sleep.     

Apple finally complied after dumping her plate and glass into the sink, while Jayden walked with Apple beside him, eyes half closed.     

He shouldn't have to wake up, right? He could continue sleeping again if he was really sleepy like this, he didn't need to wake up and look for her to sleep.     

And when they finally got to the room, Jayden fell straight into bed hugging Apple. It didn't take long for the man to fall back asleep because a minute later, Apple could hear his soft snoring.

"You're so cute..." Apple said with a smile and rubbed Jayden's head, helping him fall asleep faster.     

Their wedding was only a few weeks away and Apple had no idea she would come this far in her relationship with Jayden or that she would be pregnant with their child already.     

If Apple had doubts at first, but she now firmly believed that if she could choose one person to spend the rest of her life with, then she would choose Jayden without any hesitation.     

========================      

After getting a call from Apple and getting an idea how to repay her hurt feelings for being betrayed by Derek, Gladys began to think of the message she wanted to deliver.         

    

Meanwhile, beside her, with a flushed face and a body reeking of alcohol, Derek was sleeping on the sofa in her living room.     

This man made a fuss in the lobby earlier when he said he wanted to see Gladys and not only that, he even shouted apologies.     

Even now, he was still delirious though he was fast asleep with a face as innocent as a baby and this made Gladys a little angry to see him.     

And even though he kept calling out Gladys's name, the girl was fed up with Derek and how he treated her.     

Maybe it was the sympathy and pity she had felt earlier when she saw him so messed up in the apartment lobby, but now, those feelings had faded completely and she felt very stupid for bringing this man here.     

However, Apple's idea was worth trying, so Gladys called someone she knew and asked him to come over to her place right away, even though it was already midnight. Gladys would pay him double if he came and got this job done by tonight too.     

"Yeah, don't worry, I'll pay you handsomely, come now," Gladys said with a sweet and cheerful smile.     

And after the person on the other end confirmed he'd be there in half an hour, Gladys hung up and looked at Derek with a mischievous smile.     

On the other hand, the man was still unconscious and kept calling her name.     

Gladys didn't seem to have to wait long, for twenty minutes later, the man she had called earlier was in the room, along with the tools she needed.     

"We shouldn't be doing this when he's drunk," he warned.     

"No problem, it's not life threatening, is it?"     

"It isn't..."
