It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 205

"Where have you been?!" Lexus whined when he saw the figures of Ramon and Hailee stepping into the house.

Lexus was almost like a child who was waiting impatiently for his parents to return. And, as soon as he heard the sound of a car approaching the Tordoff family residence, Lexus immediately jumped up from his seat, which he had been sitting on restlessly for the past two hours, and quickly ran toward door to welcome them both.

"What is wrong? What happened? Why?" Lexus immediately bombarded Hailee with questions, because he knew it would be difficult for him to get an answer out of his brother's lips and even if Ramon did say something, it would not be anything satisfactory.

However, before Lexus could approach Hailee, Ramon had already raised his hand and shoved his younger brother's face with his palm, to get him away.

But, Hailee then pushed Ramon's hand away from Lexus's face and looked at him in annoyance. Ramon had done this so many times already, not letting anyone get near her, as if they were carrying daggers with intentions to harm her. Ramon's reaction shouldn't need to be so exaggerated.

At first, Hailee found it cute and funny, but she wanted to take her words back quickly when Ramon took things too far in the hospital by requiring her to undergo an over- examination.

Well, now this guy was simply annoying!

"You don't have to do that," Hailee said fiercely and Lexus nodded in agreement.

"Yes, you don't have to do that to me, I am your younger brother," Lexus grumbled, rubbing his face in annoyance. "There is no way in the world will I hurt her, you should be more worried that Hailee might hurt me instead."

This time Hailee's fierce gaze was fixed on Lexus and this made the second son of the Tordoff family laugh cheerfully.

"So, what is really going on? Ramon just left in the middle of a meeting after receiving a call." Lexus then checked Hailee from top to bottom carefully. No cuts, no bruises, Hailee didn't look sick either. So what happened exactly? "The call must be from you, what happened to you?"

"Hailee passed out," Ramon told Lexus curtly as he walked to their room on the second floor, still holding Hailee's waist protectively, while his brother had to follow them, throwing questions like an annoying reporter.

"Fainted? Why? Are you tired?" Lexus then put his hand on Hailee's forehead, but he didn't feel that there was anything strange about her temperature. "Not hot. Have you been to the doctor's? What is the problem?"

Hailee brushed Lexus's hand away from her forehead. Maybe the two of them had different ways, but now the two brothers were on the same level of being annoying as when they were panicking or feeling worried. "I am not sick, I am pregnant."

Hailee informed Lexus of the news just like that.

For a moment, Lexus had the same reaction as Ramon. He was frozen and motionless where he was standing while Hailee glanced at his blank expression over her shoulder and rolled her eyes, as if to say: I have seen that reaction before.

Then, without waiting for Lexus to recover from his shock, Ramon led Hailee up the stairs and to their bedroom, ignoring the annoyed look from his wife.

"I am not sick, okay." Hailee kept repeating that sentence, but just like before, Ramon didn't care, instead he found a new excuse.

"The first trimester is a delicate time, especially since it is your first pregnancy," Ramon argued with his new found knowledge.

Although what Ramon said was not wrong, but of course the attitude and treatment he showed to Hailee was too much.

However, at this point, Hailee knew that whatever she said later would not have much effect on Ramon's way of thinking, so Hailee wisely decided to stop this pointless argument and let her husband spoil her.

After all, who didn't love attention and being pampered? So, Hailee would just enjoy all of this happily. Well, this was win- win solution.

"Okay, okay…" Hailee shrugged nonchalantly and this time she left Ramon with his oddity.

However, Hailee almost took a wrong step and lost her footing if it wasn't for Ramon who supported her while they were climbing the stairs when Lexus screamed all of sudden with excitement.

"PREGNANT!!!?" He shouted, almost like someone who wanted to wake the whole house with this information. "You are pregnant?!"

Lexus, who had just regained access to his thinking process, rushed to Hailee again and asked the same question. "You are pregnant? Really pregnant? Pregnant in the sense that you will have a child and I will have a cute nephew or niece in nine months' time? Pregnant in that sense?"

Let alone Hailee, even Ramon had to frown at Lexus' barrage of questions which he thought didn't make anysense at all. Is there another meaning for the word 'pregnant'?

"Yes, Lexus, now get out of my sight," Hailee grumbled, trying to push Lexus away, but this man's body was too sturdy to be nudged away so easily.

Therefore, it was Ramon who pushed him until he got out of their sight.

"Whoa! This is such a great news! This is great!" exclaimed Lexus cheerfully, he seemed completely indifferent to the fact that neither of these lovebirds wanted to be disturbed by his chatter, or Hailee who wanted to immediately lie down on her soft bed and rest.

Moreover, this afternoon Hailee fell unconscious. She needed rest…

"Do you know!? The last cute baby born in the Tordoff family was me!" Said Lexus proudly. "I have to tell mom about this amazing news! I can assure you that mother will be very excited to know that she will have grandchildren." But, then Lexus was pensive while rubbing his chin, thinking. "Or maybe she will be upset that she is going to be a grandmother, since she doesn't want to be called old..."

"She will be happy," Ramon said in a calm voice. And with the mention of Lis, without him realizing it, his conversation with Giana started replaying in his mind.

Ramon really had to start figuring out what had really happened over the past four years.

"Oh, of course, of course," said Lexus quickly, not wanting Hailee to misunderstand what he meant. "I mean mom must be happy, but on the other hand…"

Before Lexus could finish his complicated explanation, Ramon had pushed Hailee's body slowly into the room, while he was still standing in the doorway, preventing Lexus from getting inside.

For a moment the two brothers looked at each other, but with different eyes. Ramon looked calm and tended to be cold, while Lexus was tilting his head in confusion.

"What is wrong? Why are you…" again Lexus' words were cut off.

"Good night," said Ramon as he closed the door to his room right in his brother's face, and not long after, Lexus heard the sound of the door being locked.

It happened so fast that Lexus was still frozen in place until a few seconds had passed, only then did he react. "Hey! You don't have to lock the door! I couldn't have barged into the room!" He cried in annoyance.

But, anyone who knew him would know that that was what he would do if Ramon didn't lock the door.

"Oh! One more! You are taking Hailee to the company anniversary, right?!" Lexus asked, but there was no answer.

Ugh! Those two were annoying!

Even so, Lexus's annoyance didn't last long when he remembered that he was going to have a cute nephew or niece soon.

And with light and carefree steps he returned to his own house after he stopped making a fuss at Ramon's house and told Lis about this happy news along the way.

================ 

Zia grimaced as Ian delivered a powerful punch to his opponent's stomach before pinning the body of a man as large as himself onto the arena floor. He did it easily and it was clear that he had done it many times.

This was Zia's first time seeing Ian fight in person, because before, she had only heard of this from Hailee.

And now she was grateful that she had not witnessed such a terrible thing, maybe tonight would also be the last night for her to witness Ian's fight.

Although Zia was born to a father who was a high- ranking military official, but never once had she seen violence or men fighting face- to- face. Especially when the people around the arena cheered and shouted, encouraging Ian to finish off his opponent.

Isn't that illegal? Wouldn't that be murder then?

Now Zia was thinking twice about her decision to see Ian in order to divert her attention from the headline that plagued the Smith and Dawson families.

When Zia saw Ian walk out of the Arena and head for the back door, which indicated that the show was over, Zia jumped up from her seat and followed the man through a different door.

Behind her, Zia could still hear the cheers from the audience or the grumbling of some of the people who had lost their bets.

However, all those annoying noises slowly disappeared as Zia walked down the corridor, toward the room where Ian usually changed clothes and rested.

"I swear this will be the last time I watch your fight!" Zia immediately grumbled as soon as she opened the locker room door where Ian was being treated by other fighters. The wound on his left eyes seemed quite bad…
