It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 438

Chapter 438: I CAN SLEEP IN YOUR BEDROOM

Jayden felt very uncomfortable after getting down from the ship earlier. The sound of the waves and the way the ship shook and bobbed made Jayden feel dizzy and he didn't like the sensation at all.

It made him remember things he didn't want to remember at all. The memory that he painstakingly buried deep in his subconscious, which according to his psychologist was his coping mechanism to heal and survive from the trauma he experienced.

His head started aching on the way back to Apple's house and this made Jayden feel even more uncomfortable.

But, when he finally managed to fall asleep, the images and nightmares awaiting him suffocated him out of his wits.

Jayden felt that he had returned to the time he was when he was fifteen years old. The very period when he was just a helpless teenager who struggled to defend himself and also protect himself, letting bad things happen right in front of his eyes without being able to do anything.

His breath hitched and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, but Jayden didn't wake up, for he had been ensnared in the nightmare.

Jayden didn't see her, but he felt and could hear a woman's voice calling out to him. It was a strange sound, but he was sure he had heard it somewhere.

The woman kept calling his name, demanding his attention, but he was too occupied with the nightmare to deal with her, so Jayden couldn't give her the response she wanted.

And just at that moment Jayden could feel it, the woman moved closer and her hand reached out to touch his.

Out of instinct, Jayden opened his eyes as he quickly warded off the woman's hand, while his other hand reached for her neck, trying to strangle the woman who had dared to approach him.

"Jayden!" Apple screamed in surprise when she saw that Jayden's eyes were full of hatred. This man seemed to want to kill her without a second thought. His eyes were unfocused and clouded by something Apple couldn't explain. "Let go!"

For a moment, Jayden didn't let go of his grip on the girl's neck, while Apple tried to claw his hand and keep his hand away from her neck, however, her strength certainly wasn't comparable to the man's in front of her.

Therefore, the last step Apple could do was to clench her fists and slam them into the side of Jayden's face until the man groaned in pain and released her.

"Are you crazy!?" Apple cried angrily, clutching her neck and coughing, trying to draw as much air as possible into her lungs, because she felt like she was about to die from suffocation. "You want to kill me!?" she cried again in annoyance.

And without waiting long, because Apple was afraid that Jayden would try to kill her again and mistake that he was still in a dream, Apple immediately got out of the car. At least by being outside, she could resist much more efficiently if Jayden tried to kill her again.

Meanwhile, in the car, Jayden shook his head violently, as if to get rid of the horrible memories that clouded his mind.

It wasn't until a moment later that he realized what he had just done to Apple, or what might have happened had she not beaten him in time.

Quickly, Jayden got out of the car and walked over to Apple, but the girl just kept her distance from him, and he understood why she did so.

Therefore, Jayden stayed where he was, giving Apple the distance she needed to feel safe from him. "Are you okay?" Jayden asked with a frown on his face.

"Apart from almost dying at the hands of a stupid man who almost killed me because I woke him up while he's still delirious, I am totally fine, my life is perfect," Apple said exaggeratingly, the irritation in her voice very vivid. 

Jayden would have laughed at Apple's scathing comments if the situation had been different, but not this time. He wasn't in the mood to laugh at all because he knew what Apple said was true. He almost killed her.

"Thanks for hitting me in time," Jayden replied. "But I can assure you now that I'm safe and tame." He tried to lighten the mood a little by raising his hands, indicating that he was giving up.

Luckily, Apple saw Jayden's efforts and didn't extend the issue. "Any time," she answered curtly. "Next time you do that again, I'll beat you until you don't understand if you're dreaming or not."

"Yes, do it," Jayden replied in a low voice, then he walked toward the door of the Apple house, following behind her.

"I think my dad's asleep," Apple mumbled, she then walked over and checked Pyro's room and found her dad was indeed asleep, then went back to Jayden to tell him this. "My father is asleep, you can't talk to him now."

Jayden nodded. "I'll talk to him tomorrow morning then," Jayden replied in a low voice. He then walked into the kitchen and took a glass to drink.

Pyro's house wasn't that big and it was not a terraced house and only contained two bedrooms. Pyro had occupied one room, the other room was Apple's. So the question was, where would Jayden sleep?

"You're going home, right? You'll be back tomorrow morning to talk to my father." Apple followed him into the kitchen and poured herself some mineral water.

"Why should I go home? I can stay here," Jayden said in a nonchalant tone and this made Apple frown.

"Who allowed you to stay?"

"Pyro will allow me to stay over if you wake him up now."

"Then where are you going to sleep? We don't have any vacant, unused rooms."

"I can sleep in your room," Jayden replied lightly.

Apple folded her arms across her chest, staring at Jayden in disbelief that this man would be so shameless as to suggest such a thing.
