It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 166: READING (2)

Aileen pushed forward, trying to corner Zia and make her understand that she already knew something that Zia had been trying to cover up.

However, Zia still couldn't realize her intentions, because what was in her head right now was annoyance that Aileen had been so insolent to her and so dared to fight her openly like this.

She still looked confused in response to Aileen's drastic change in attitude, but even so, the way Aileen was cornering her made Zia feel uncomfortable and she instinctively pushed her away.

Luckily, the push was not so strong that Aileen couldn't get an excuse to fall, jeopardize her 'pregnancy' which could put Zia in trouble.

In this case, Aileen still needed herself to be pregnant in order to tie knot with Theodore, or else she would be dumped right there and then. Therefore, Aileen couldn't use that trick now.

"Get away from me, you are disgusting," Zia growled, still not realizing what kind of information Aileen had in her hands to make Zia gasp. Something only she and Aidan knew.

Because of that urge, Aileen had to take a few steps back from Zia. "Me? Disgusting?" Aileen snorted and mockingly asked Zia while pointing at her. "Then what do you call yourself?"

Zia narrowed her eyes as she began to feel that Aileen was speaking with a double meaning in her sentence. What she meant with that?

"What do you mean?" Zia asked in a displeased tone. "Stop talking in riddles and tell me directly what you have to say." Zia's voice was low, but deadly. Her large eyes were focused on Aileen.

However, Aileen responded in the same way. She folded her arms across her chest and snorted sarcastically.

"What do you call a woman who seduces a married man?" Aileen looked at Zia deeply to see the changes in the expression of the woman in front of her. "You feel disgusted by me because I have stolen Theodore from Hailee, then should I spit on you for having an affair with Aidan Smith behind his wife's back, Zia?"

Instantly Zia's expression changed. Her eyes widened in disbelief and her lips parted slightly as the words slid off Aileen's lips. Her heart was beating very fast and dozens of questions echoed in her head and made Zia have an argument with herself. Her eyes became unfocused.

Did she know? Did Aileen know about her relationship with Aidan? How did she know?

Zia firmly believed that she had closed all her affairs with Aidan Smith. She absolutely believed that no one had told any third party about their secret relationship.

Therefore, there was no way Aileen could tell about them being together.

Zia definitely wouldn't tell Aileen about this even if a knife was pointed at her, so was it possible that this was Aidan's doing? However, Aidan didn't know Aileen. They didn't know each other, right?

Meanwhile, Aileen was enjoying every little change in Zia's demeanour that happened in the span of a few seconds. It was great to be able to see how Zia gasped and took a deep yet sharp breath when she heard Aileen's statement just now.

"Why? Feeling surprised?" Aileen asked in a very obvious scorn. "Are you confused about how I came to know all this?" She asked again.

Zia didn't know what to say. Should she lie and deny it all? But, if Aileen really did find out, wouldn't that be a waste of effort? And she would look stupid for not admitting it...

Zia gritted her molars so harshly that she felt like she had crushed her own teeth.

"You want to know how I know this?" Aileen asked in a lower voice, nothing more than a whisper, then took a few steps forward to approach Zia who still couldn't believe what was going on. "You must be very curious."

Aileen seemed to really enjoy this game and allowed Zia to feel more of her fear. It has been a long time since Aileen wanted to treat her cousin like this and now her dream had finally come true.

Still in the same tone of voice, Aileen continued her words. "I will tell you then." A smile that was cynical and meaningful curled on the corner of Aileen's lips. "Because Aidan mentioned your name over and over again when he spent a night with me."

Aileen chuckled when she saw how Zia's body started shaking as her eyes stared at Aileen with various emotions raging through her mind, which were well reflected in her eyes.

"Well ... I was quite disappointed that he said your name instead of mine, but I think we both enjoyed the night quite well." Aileen shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, as if it wasn't a big deal for her. Then she tossed her hair back as she said again, "You see? I am very fair. When I told your secret, I also told you mine. Then you wouldn't mind, would you? Don't ever tell Theodore about this? After all, we are getting married in less than a month," she pleaded her in mocking tone.

Aileen squinted her eyes flirtatiously and tucked Zia's hair behind her ear, like someone who was very considerate, but Zia slapped her hand away from her.

"I guess you wouldn't mind keeping this a secret, right?" Having said that, Aileen walked away with light steps, leaving Zia alone there, struggling with her own frantic thoughts.

==============

Ramon held out his hand for Hailee, which was greeted with a sweet smile. And when the sunlight fell on her face, this woman seemed to shine as if a radiance of joy could be seen from her.

"Ready?" Hailee asked Ramon which made the man laugh softly.

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that?" Ramon asked because Hailee stole the sentence he was supposed to say.

"I know that you will not say it, so I will say it instead," Hailee answered casually, while Ramon was again amused by the logic his wife made.

It is true that Ramon wouldn't say such things to Hailee, but that didn't mean Hailee could change roles with him, right?

Well, it seemed Ramon would never get bored of seeing Hailee's unique sides, and it was something that was fun to look forward to…

Unlike before, when they came to this house for the first time, this time the whole family didn't come out to greet them, because they assumed Ramon had become a part of their family too, so the door to this house would always be open for him.

The newly married couple then went straight into the living room and met Diego, George and also Theodore.

Oh, Hailee could also see George's wife, who was sitting next to her husband, throwing an unfriendly look at Hailee. It seemed that she was still annoyed by what happened the other day.

However, Hailee didn't see Aileen or Zia.

Indeed Hailee didn't really care about Aileen, but where did Zia go? Wasn't she the most enthusiastic one to see her wedding ring from Ramon, which was a hereditary ring in the Tordoff family?

But where was she now?

Meanwhile, Ramon shake hand with Diego, George and Theodore one by one, then gave a small nod to George's wife.

Despite the minor quarrels that happened before, Ramon was still able to carry himself well, as if nothing had happened between them.

"Where is Zia?" Hailee finally asked, since the new family lawyer would be here in half an hour, there was still time for Hailee to chat with her cousin, because she didn't really understand the discussion between these men.

"Looks like she's in her room," Diego replied, noticing that his daughter wasn't there.

"Oh, well I'll go see her," Hailee said, then stood up from her chair, but before she really left, Hailee landed a brief kiss on Ramon's cheek, whispering, "I'll be right back."

And Ramon responded with a soft squeeze to Hailee's hand and a small smile at the corner of his lips, which was barely visible.

Where as Hailee used to think these cute things were only done when they were out in public, this time Hailee could say that seventy percent of the affection Ramon showed her was real.

And this was something nice to know, that they were no longer pretending to show each other's feelings.

"Okay," Ramon said quietly then let go of Hailee's hand, letting his wife go away from him and returned to the chat they were having.

However, after a while Hailee left, Theodore stood up as well, he muttered about himself needing to go to the bathroom for a while and after that would look for Aileen, because that woman had been away for quite a while and still hadn't returned.

Diego and George just nodded casually, because they were both still immersed in a serious conversation about the company which was now in crisis and also George's impulsive decision to buy diamond from their own company using money from his personal pocket.

Diego totally disagreed with this and forced George to give up his ridiculous wish to reward Aileen with something that could get him in big trouble.

However, Ramon had his own thoughts.

His eagle- sharp eyes followed Theodore's movements as he walked away, heading in the direction Hailee had disappeared a moment earlier.

The look of dislike and suspicion could be seen very clearly from the way Ramon looked at the man, as if he could just pounce on Theodore.

What was the man really thinking? Was he really going to look for Aileen? Or was he looking for Hailee just like the other night?
