It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 218

How could these two people ask him to kill Ramon Tordoff when he didn't really know the man except for the fact that he was close to Hailee.

But, how come they knew about that as well?

"Think about this offer carefully," said one of them. "Think about your sister who needs a lot of money to recover while you are at it."

"You think Ramon Tordoff would be that easy for me to take down, if that's the case, why don't you do it yourself?" Ian snorted. It would be foolish to ask a fighter like Ian to kill someone like Ramon Tordoff who was so incredibly guarded. "Don't involve me in this useless business."

"Oh, of course you alone couldn't take him down so easily," the man with the hoarse voice said with a sneer. "You just need to follow our orders and everything will fall in place."

"Then just find someone else." Ian waved his hand nonchalantly. From any point of view, this offer was just ridiculous.

The two men stared at each other before one of them ended the conversation. "We will call you back the day after Aileen Tatum's wedding."

After saying that, the two men walked away, leaving Ian still standing frozen in his place, trying to digest their last words.

The day after Aileen Tatum's wedding?

So they were not only targeting Ramon Tordoff, they were also trying to find out more about the people around him?

Who were they really? And why would they want to kill Ramon Tordoff? That was a serious crime!

And moreover, why did they specifically ask Ian to do it? If they were really digging up information about the people around Ramon, shouldn't they know that Ian and Hailee were pretty close friends? Weren't they afraid that Ian would tell Hailee about this and then it was inevitable that Ramon would find out in the end too?

This was very strange…

================ 

"You're really not going to come back with me to city A?" Giana actually wanted to linger in that place until Dillon gave up and was willing to come back with her. However, she had something important to attend to tomorrow.

Aileen Tatum's wedding.

Yes, Giana wanted to attend the wedding. Of course not to congratulate the bride, but to discuss matters much more pressing than that.

Indeed the timing was a little strange and inappropriate, but it was Aileen herself who asked her to meet her before the wedding ceremony took place.

Weird, but also interesting. Giana wanted to know what Aileen Tatum wanted to tell her.

"No," Dillon said. "I told you I'm not coming back."

"You are very stubborn as usual." At first, Dillon was opposed to the idea of letting Giana stay at his house and asked her to find a nearby hotel.

But, then he remembered that this place could be said to be so remote, that even the nearest hotel took an hour and a half to get to it, so Dillon had to let Giana spend the night at his house. He couldn't have let her roam around when it was dark.

And luckily Giana only had to stay two nights, because tomorrow she had to return to town A to attend Aileen Tatum's wedding.

"Then, what should I do to make you return with me to city A?" asked Giana, leaning forward, indicating how serious she was in discussing the matter now.

Giana would really have considered anything if Dillon had just made a request.

Too bad, the request Dillon really wanted wasn't something she could grant or he could freely say.

"You won't be able to grant any of my wishes Giana, so stop asking." Dillon picked up the empty plates and carried them into the kitchen.

The two of them had just finished eating dinner and now the silence in the house only added to the awkwardness Dillon felt.

He wasn't used to having Giana around him twenty four hours a day, but even more uncomfortable with the feelings he had for her.

Of course, Dillon wasn't stupid not to realize what this feeling was. It was just that he had been denying it all along, hoping that this annoying feeling would go away on its own.

Too bad what he hoped for didn't come true.

Behind Dillon, he could hear Giana's footsteps approaching and stopping right behind him.

"What is wrong? What can't you tell me?" she asked. "I know that expression of yours, Dillon."

Giana and Dillon had worked together for a few years, and again they had known each other long before that, so Giana could read his facial expressions quite clearly.

"You won't understand Giana, so don't complicate things," Dillon said as he continued to wash the dishes, while Giana stood not far from him, leaning against the wall watching his back.

"Why? Is it because you really like me?" asked Giana suddenly, which made Dillon turn around. "You fell in love with me?"

================ 

Hailee should have discussed this matter with Ramon last night when they got home from the restaurant, but being too tired, Hailee couldn't keep her eyes open for too long and fell asleep while they were still in the car.

Meanwhile this morning, she woke up only after Ramon had left for the office and didn't get to see him again.

Thus, it was only now that Hailee had the opportunity to really talk about this matter.

"…that's what Theodore told me when he came here," Hailee said what Theodore had told her regarding the matter of her parents' death. "Can't we investigate this further?"

Hailee looked at Ramon expectantly. After all, it was Ramon who initially expressed his suspicions about the unnatural deaths of Hailee's parents. Therefore, Ramon shouldn't have any objections to this, right?

"I have a feeling that this has something to do with Aileen, but if it's true, how could she do something like that?" Hailee frowned, deep in thought.

On the other hand, Ramon did not immediately respond to Hailee's request, because even without being asked he had investigated this and the results would be known to them soon...
