It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 371

"I've already given her what she needs," Ian said when he had finished his business with Giana and called Ramon back to inform him of this. "If I get caught in this matter, I will rot in prison."

"Impossible," Ramon replied in a relaxed tone.

Hearing that answer, Ian couldn't help but roll his eyes in annoyance, because he had to admit, with Ramon behind him, nothing could happen.

Maybe even if he had to kill someone, he'd be fine. And it was not something that hadn't happened before.

Ian knew what had happened to Axcel, although it wasn't in detail, but he knew that the man's disappearance had something to do with Ramon. There's no way Axcel Dimatrio just disappeared while Ramon didn't do anything to look for him.

He doesn't know what this guy is up to...



And Ian didn't want to know because at this point, he felt like he wouldn't be able to follow this man's way of thinking. He really was way above him.

Ian realized that Hailee had the best man she could get.



"It could have happened," Ian replied, regardless of what he was really thinking. He just didn't want to agree with Ramon, so he chose to be stubborn.

"That won't happen," Ramon dismissed Ian's words casually and let the man grumble to his heart's content before he cut off the line which made Ian even more annoyed by the matter.



Ramon closed his eyes and massaged the bridge of his nose as he felt his head hurt. He had felt that he had overexerted himself, it was just that his mind wouldn't allow him to rest.

At least, not before he took down his enemies and settled scores with them. Ramon wasn't going to rest until he saw those people who wronged him feel what he felt.

They were all responsible for what had happened.

Ramon massaged his temples and leaned his back against the back of the chair, basking in the warmth of the afternoon sun from the glass wall on his left that showed a view of the city.

And from where he was sitting, he could see the Dawsons' building, behind several other buildings, and immediately Ramon's eyes changed.

He would own that building… he would rule the Dawsons.

Previously, this goal was just a discourse in his head because he didn't feel like he had to do that and cause trouble with the other prominent families in this town, it was just… those who were looking for trouble with him, made him unable to just sit back.

================ 

The news about Lexus Tordoff and his new girlfriend was increasingly spreading in the mass media and this left Candice really frustrated in dealing with people who wanted to know the truth.

At first Candice would explain to them in as much detail as possible so that they would believe that she had no relationship with Lexus. However, even after the effort she put in, Candice could see that none of them believed her words. Therefore, she had no other choice but to shut up and let them say whatever they wanted to say.

At this point, Candice was no longer trying to deny or confirm their words and chose to remain silent. Because all her efforts were in vain… no one would believe her or hear her side of the story.

Even her own family did not believe that she was not involved with the second child of the Tordoff family.

No, they actually liked the gossip and if they could, they would have urged Candice to turn it into reality instead of constantly denying it.

Realizing that their mindsets were completely different, Candice even stopped explaining this to her family or other siblings.

However, there was one incident that made her so upset this afternoon…

Candice overheard a female staff member's conversation with her friends. They work in the same company, only in different divisions.

"... She is too much," one of the women said to her two friends. "I've seen Lexus Tordoff pick her up several times, when it's already like that she still denies that the two of them have a relationship?" The shoulder-length haired woman rolled her eyes and sneered.

"Yeah, I've seen them both a few times too," the second woman chimed in. Her skirt was too short for an office woman.

"Yes. Though Candice is not very beautiful. How did she even get acquainted with Lexus Tordoff? Maybe he just wants to play with her. No, not maybe, I am sure of it." Since the third woman did not want to lose, she also commented.

"Yes, there are tons of other women who want to be with Lexus Tordoff, so there is no way he would choose an ordinary woman like Candice," the first woman said jealously.

Hearing all these words, of course, made Candice furious. On an impulse, she entered the pantry without even knocking before.

Out of the corner of her eye, she could see that the three women were shocked that the person they were talking about had suddenly appeared in front of them.

Candice then cast a scornful glance at the three women while making coffee with the coffee machine available.

"You want to know how I got my hands on someone like Lexus Tordoff? While other women can't?" Candice had a sweet smile at the corners of her lips, looking at the three women gently. "Of course because those women weren't me. I'm not like women in general."

Then, Candice poured coffee into her glass and gave the three women who turned speechless a condescending look, making them even more annoyed with her.

It was better, at least with this they had another reason to be annoyed with Candice.

But, when she came down, she saw Lexus was waiting beside her car again. Only with a flower in his hand this time.

"What is the meaning of this?" Candice hissed, widening her eyes fiercely at the stupid man in front of her.

"Let's go on a date," Lexus said confidently.

"What?" Candice knew that Lexus was being a little too enthusiastic, but she had no idea that this man would ask her out so blatantly. "God, what should I do with you…" Candice covered her face with her hands, annoyed that Lexus wouldn't listen to her words.

"Oh, you don't have to do anything for me, I'll do everything for you," Lexus said smoothly, as if he had expected what Candice would say. "Shall we go now?"

================ 

Giana couldn't stand this anymore. Dillon completely ignored her because she left the office without saying anything to him and only returned home late at night.

The man no longer scolded her or even tried to advise her as usual. Dillon just stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor and stared at her for a moment, before he completely ignored her and chose to return to his room, leaving the still drunk Giana to be handled by the servants in the house.

For some reason, when she saw this, Giana felt very upset. She was so upset that she couldn't stop crying all night long.

And because she couldn't stop crying, Giana got even more annoyed. And the feeling kept bubbling like that until she felt very tired and finally fell asleep.

Dillon shouldn't have ignored her like that…

Even when they were in the office, Dillon limited their conversation to work and didn't extend the topic of their conversation even when it was just the two of them…

Giana didn't want to rebuke the man or start a conversation with him first, it was just that she felt something was missing when Dillon started to keep his distance from her and stopped trying to get her attention.

The more depressed Giana was, the more dependent she became on the 'stuff' she bought from the mysterious man. At least this way, Giana could  forget her problems for a while and there was nothing more enjoyable in her life than when she could forget everything...

But, of course things only got worse and worse for Giana, especially her pregnancy.

Until one morning, Giana found herself awake with blood already pooling on her bed.

Of course it was the most terrifying thing Giana had ever seen.

And without a second thought, she shouted his name frantically. "Dillon! Dillon!" Giana didn't even dare to look at her lower body which was now covered in blood. She closed her eyes tightly.

Luckily, it didn't take long for Dillon to burst into the room and find that Giana's condition was critical.

"Prepare the car," Dillon said to a servant who also rushed to Giana's room after hearing the woman's screams.

Dillon stepped into the room with a pounding heart. He knew that this would happen one day… he really knew it, but still, when he had to face reality, he couldn't.

His heart was beating so hard when he found Giana who was covering her face with her hands while her body was shaking violently.

"Calm down... everything will be fine..." Dillon said as he wrapped Giana's body in the blanket and carried her out of the room. "We are going to the hospital now. Calm down… everything will be fine…"

Dillon kept repeating these words several times, but in fact they were more for himself than Giana.

Dillon hoped everything would be okay, even though he knew things would never be the same again.

He knew that Giana had lost their baby. No matter how hard he prayed, it was too late and nothing would change…

But, one thing was for sure; Dillon had lost the reason to stay by Giana's side…
