It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 13

Hailee felt her body stiffen and her fingertips go numb, even her own breath was now racing.

Forget about Roland Dimatrio, the Tordoffs were much more powerful than the district attorney's family and if Hailee got on the bad side of the Tordoffs, who knew what her life would turn out to be.

"What is this?" Lis stared at Ramon and Hailee in turns, confusion deeply etched into her eyes. "Ramon, how can you not remember your lover who you have been hiding for two years?" Lis stroked her son's face, but Ramon brushed off her mother's hand and glared at Hailee.

In his daily life, Ramon rarely interacts with people who he thought would be of no benefit to his company. Those people were just wasting his time in vain, and were not even worthy to get a single glance from this young bachelor.

Therefore, when he saw Hailee, who was actually a stranger, standing in his room, Ramon was very defensive.

"Lover? Two years?" Ramon frowned deeper and Hailee could feel her whole body tremble with fear.

How could she possibly evade it when things were already like this?

"Wh… actually…" Either this was the right decision or not, but maybe if Hailee was honest, Ramon and Lis would understand her true situation and would forget about this matter.

After all, Hailee didn't hurt Ramon and didn't have any bad intentions toward him, Hailee had also been beside Ramon all night long taking care of him, so actually, Hailee didn't do any significant harm.

Even the Doctor's report was not reliable which indicated that it could take another two or three days for Tordoff's heir to come to his senses.

Two, three days was enough time for Hailee to find a gap, see the situation and escape again from Roland Dimatrio's men.

Unfortunately, the reality decided to say otherwise.

However, before the honest truth could escape Hailee's lips, the door opened again and revealed a figure, none other than Lexus Tordoff, Ramon's younger brother.

His lively eyes fell on his brother and then his mother as a big, mischievous smile spread across his face.

"Bro!" he immediately took long and hasty strides as soon as he saw that Ramon was conscious, by pushing his mother slightly aside, he hugged him while laughing. "You are awake! Extraordinary! How does it feel to have a car accident ?! "

The last question got a hit on his back from his mother, but she looked much more relaxed with Lexus there.

"You have to try it to find out how the actual experience would feel like." Ramon hugged his brother back. This time, he appeared much bearable at responding to Lexus.

"Hahaha ... no, no." Lexus shook his head and shuddered. "There will be a lot of people crying their hearts out, if I get hurt." He then let go of his brother and winked at Ramon, as if to say; otherwise there would be a lot of people who would regret it if the same thing happened to Ramon.

With that, Lexus got another hit, this time to his shoulder, which was greeted back with his signature laugh, then, his focus shifted to Hailee who was standing stiffly at the foot of the bed. Looking scared and a little pale.

"So," Lexus stroked his chin as he watched Hailee. "So this is my sister-in-law?" he grinned, and walked over to Hailee in brisk strides.

Hailee was too shocked to dodge it in time, because in the next second, her body was already engulfed in Lexus's arms, he hugged her so tight yet warmly.

"Glad that I finally got to meet you!" exclaimed Lexus, from his light voice, Hailee knew that Lexus was sincere when he said that he was happy to meet his future sister-in-law, in the end.

But…

Hailee was not his future sister-in-law!

And that was a big problem Hailee had to straighten out right away.

"No, no… actually…" Hailee stuttered, trying to refute Lexus's words, but the man didn't want to listen and instead released her from his bear hug.

"Let me see this prospective sister-in-law!" Lexus grabbed Hailee's shoulder and stood at arm's length from her, so that he could have a better view of Hailee.

"Wait a minute…" Hailee had a hard time finding the right words, her heart was beating faster and her tongue felt numb, in a situation like this.

"Hmm…" Lexus muttered appraisingly, from the look in his eyes, it seemed like he didn't agree with what he was seeing. "Looks like we will be able to go on a shopping spree in the near future if my brother's condition is still haven't got any better to take you out shopping."

"No, this is…" but, this time Hailee's words were interrupted by Ramon's exclamation.

"Who the hell is she really!?" roared Ramon and this outburst of anger made him hold his head which was throbbing painfully.

"Bro?" Lexus looked at his brother while frowning. "Can't you remember your own lover?"

Ramon kept this woman's existence a secret not only from his mother, even Lexus did not know the real identity of Ramon's lover. His brother was extraordinary in terms of maintaining confidentiality and privacy matters.

"Ramon, what's wrong? Did you forget Hailee? You've been in a relationship for two years." Lis was puzzled at Ramon's reaction. It was as if this son did not recognize Hailee at all.

"I don't have a lover." Growled Ramon. "If you think the rumors that are developing regarding my relationship with Alyssa are true, then you are very wrong."

Even though Ramon didn't shout, his deep voice indicated that he was really annoyed by the behavior of the people around him.

"Alyssa?" Lexus and Lis stared at each other while saying the name at the same time.

"You forgot? Alyssa's problem has been resolved, "Lexus muttered in confusion.

Lis then poured a glass of mineral water into a glass and gave it to Ramon, helping him to sit up. "Try drinking this first."

"What do you mean it's finished?" Ramon frowned after drinking almost a full glass. "The Ashford family will pay for all the noise they make."

"Hha?" Lexus blinked his eyes incomprehensible, he then looked at Hailee who was just as confused.

Hailee couldn't really understand what actually happened to this family, but it didn't seem like they were all on the same page right now.

"But, bro ..." Lexus started hesitantly. "The case regarding your scandal involving Alyssa happened four years ago and you've cleared up the matter a little… brutally." The second son of Tordoff grimaced as he uttered his last sentence.

"Four years ago?" Ramon's expression was now like that of someone who got to see the world for the first time.

Just at that moment, a doctor and two nurses came in upon the call that had been made by Ramon earlier.

"Yes, that was four years ago… the Ashford family is no longer in power in the Central District. You made it happen so, "said Lexus. "Can't you remember?"

On the other hand, Ramon glared at Lexus. "Stop kidding."
