It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 33: SHOPPING SPREE!

"Inappropriate?"Lis closed her eyes.

On the other hand, Ariana who heard Hailee calling Lis with the title 'mother', stared at the two of then shell-shocked.

Mom?!

What exactly was their relationship ?!

Ariana and Elvina were stunned to see the closeness between Hailee and Lis. Not only that, Margaretha also raised her eyebrows questioningly.

"Lis, is this the girl you told me about?" Margaretha asked her old friend.

"Yes, she is the one I told you about," Lis replied firmly, but from the look on her face, one could say for sure that she was still upset with what Ariana and Elvina had done to Hailee.

Luckily, Margaretha quickly caught Lis's unhappy expression and immediately took action. Anyway, she had known Lis for a long time.

Not just because they were friends, Margaretha respected Lis as a successful businesswoman too. She had seen how Lis coped up with life all this time, so from that, taking Lis's bad side, it would not benefit her at all, in any way.

"That is a public chair, why are you insulting Mrs. Tordoff's guest by saying that she does not deserve to sit there?"Margaretha asked, her eyes fixed on her employee.

"Sorry, that… I do not know that this girl is a relative of Mrs. Tordoff. "Elvina felt that she had done something wrong. If she knew, of course she would not say such stupid things.

"And Miss. Bell, why do you have to make a fuss just for a sofa?" Margaretha asked, she stared at Ariana's face which had now turned red, out of embarrassment and annoyance. The sweet smile she had shown earlier could no longer be seen, while her hands clenched tightly to the side of her body.

"No," Ariana protested. "I am a VIP guest, don't I have to get the best?" She tried to defend herself in a situation like this.

"The best?" Margaretha snorted. The Bell family had nothing compared to the Tordoff family, or half of their VIP customers, so Margaretha didn't mind that if she should lose her connection with the Bell family.

However, Margaretha had a better way to deal with this.

"If you really like the sofa, you can take it home." Margaretha waved at the single sofa and said to Elvina. "Ask someone to send the couch to the Bell family residence, because it looks like their second daughter loves it so much."

"Okay ma'am," Elvina replied obediently.

"And, I want to talk to you in my room after I'm done with Lis," continued Margaretha who made Elvina's heart beat mercilessly, of course their conversation later, would not be a pleasant one for her.

Having said that, she stared at Lis's slightly better face, as if she was quite satisfied with what Margaretha was doing.

"Come on Lis," Margaretha said while turning her body. "And you too Hailee. I will make an amazing dress for you."

"Next time, if you really want to push her, there is no need to help her in the end," grumbled Lis. "Understand?"

Hailee was quite shocked to hear that, but then she grinned. "Yes, Mom."

Not only did Lis not scold her for making a fuss, but she also defended her in such a way by saying that. Of course this made Hailee happy.

And before she could follow the two very respected women in their respective fields, Hailee approached Ariana and spoke in a low voice, but maintained her volume enough so Ariana could hear clearly.

"Enjoy your sofa…" said Hailee while giggling amused, then left Ariana who gritted her teeth angrily.

Ariana Bell had never been embarrassed like this in her twenty-five years of life!

But, then she started wondering, who exactly was this young girl named Hailee? And what was the relationship between her and the Tordoff family? Then what extraordinary dress would Margaretha make for her?

***

At exactly eleven o'clock in the night, Hailee arrived home after following Lis all day to go and buy this and that, but then again, Margaretha Lamos taking her body measurements personally was the main highlight of the day.

What an amazing experience!

But, it actually made Hailee even more panicked about the lies she had said to them. The more Lis did good to her, the more unhappy Hailee became and at the same time she became more and more afraid to tell the truth.

After a day of going alone with Lis, Hailee also felt a little more understanding toward the woman. Although Lis always looked like an iron-clad woman and a good businesswoman, on the other hand, she was a mother figure who loved her children dearly.

As soon as Hailee entered the house, she found Ramon sitting in the living room facing his laptop. Looks like he was checking a report of what Hailee saw on his screen.

Whatever it was, Hailee didn't care at all. She was very tired and thankful that Lis chose not to come in, but immediately returned to her own house which was about a few hundred meters from Ramon's residence.

Then, without hesitation Hailee sat down next to Ramon and made the man glance at her questioningly, before turning his gaze back to the report in front of him.

"You went out with my mother all day," Ramon said, and that was not a question, but a statement. He knew her mother very well, and if Lis wanted to go for a shopping spree, then the only person who could survive her madness was; Lexus.

They both could deal with confidence as they choose to embark on their play activities. Unfortunately, due to their busy schedule lately, they rarely got a chance do that.

From that, Ramon can understand how tired Hailee was to follow his mother all day.

"Your mother…" said Hailee, but she could not find the right words to describe it. "Is your mother a fast track athlete? Why can she look so energetic even after going in and out of dozens of stores?" Hailee asked with a blank stare, seeing three men carrying shopping bags, all of which belonged to Hailee.

Lis seemed to want to fill her wardrobe at once, even Hailee could not remember anything that Lis had bought for her.

"You need it," Ramon replied lightly, he did not even glance at the shopping bags lined up in front of the door and was being moved to Hailee's room.

"I really need it," Hailee muttered, remembering that she had been underestimated by Ariana Bell this morning for what she was wearing.

"You should soak in a warm bath, because Lexus said, tomorrow he will take you out," said Ramon, his fingers dancing on his laptop.

"Where?" Hailee frowned suspiciously.

"Shopping," Ramon replied lightly.

What?!
