It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 364: I LOVE YOU, HAILEE

Hailee took a moment to compose herself before she walked into Ramon's office and surprised her husband with her arrival.

Meanwhile, Ramon's secretary, who was not far away, could only stare at their lady boss, Mrs. Tordoff confused because she looked very pale and was even shaking a little.

"Mrs. Tordoff, should I call a doctor? Or do you need a drink?" Pyro asked, daring to ask Hailee who was still silent at the door.

However, Hailee waved her hand. "No need, I'm better." She threw a faint smile at the bodyguard and then stepped into the room.

Once Hailee was inside the room, her eyes fell on Ramon who had his eyes closed as he leaned against the back of the chair.

Ramon wasn't the type to fall asleep too soundly, so when Hailee walked into the room and he didn't notice, Hailee concluded that Ramon wasn't having his usual, light nap.

And the same was evident from how tired he looked...

Cautiously, Hailee closed the door of the room and walked toward Ramon's chair. Even then, her husband had not opened his eyes.

Hailee then put down the snacks she brought quietly, lest Ramon woke up. She was grateful that she had not knocked on the door before entering.

Hailee then circled the table and knelt beside Ramon, staring at her husband's sleeping face. Even when he was sleeping, the space between his eyebrows was knotted. What exactly was Ramon thinking right now that he couldn't even sleep peacefully?

Slowly, Hailee grabbed Ramon's big and warm hand and landed a soft kiss on the back of his hand, only then did Ramon wake up…

He groaned softly while rubbing his eyes and when he found Hailee by his side, kneeling beside his chair, a smile broke out on Ramon's lips.

"What are you doing there?" Ramon then extended his hand, whereupon Hailee greeted him with a smile back at him. "Did you wait long?"

Ramon pulled Hailee to sit on his lap and the woman leaned on his shoulder. It felt good to have this woman close to him.

"No, I just arrived and saw you were asleep," Hailee admitted. "You should sleep in the bedroom."

Hailee remembered that Ramon had a room inside his office, where he could rest on a soft bed.

"No, it looks like I just fell asleep for a bit." Ramon then kissed Hailee's forehead. "What brought you here all of a sudden?"

Hailee then lifted her head and kissed Ramon's lips gently. She then blinked her eyes as she said, "I missed you."

"Really?" Ramon raised his eyebrows, he followed this game his wife often played; teasing him.

Ramon liked it whenever Hailee teased him and made what she wanted very clear, because Ramon's life was already full of puzzles and intrigue, he didn't need the same from his wife.

"Hm," Hailee mumbled as she traced Ramon's strong jaw with her lips and smiled when she noticed Ramon's breath hitched.

"How much do you miss me?" Ramon asked, his voice deepening and sounding like an affectionate whisper.

"Can't explain in words…" Hailee replied.

"I'm not sure about that," Ramon mumbled, then he quickly stood up with his hands under Hailee's back and behind her legs. Ramon lifted Hailee's body with ease. "I can't believe it until I prove it myself."

Hailee laughed when she heard what Ramon said. "How are you going to prove it?" Hailee asked as she wrapped her arms around Ramon's neck, allowing him to carry her into the room inside the office.

"I have several ways to prove it, honey…" Ramon then let Hailee open the door and kicked it shut after he walked them inside. "And I'm sure you'll like all of them."

"I came here to bring you an afternoon snack," Hailee said between laughs as Ramon lowered her onto the bed.

"Thanks for bringing you," said Ramon, grinning triumphantly.

"I'm not a snack," Hailee grumbled, she tried to put on a fierce front, but failed to frighten Ramon. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it even more.

"Is it? Then why do you taste sweet?" Ramon then kissed Hailee's lips, biting her lightly. "I love this taste."

"Ramon!"

"What are you doing here again?!" Candice hissed fiercely at Lexus when she saw the man standing beside her car as she headed home from work.

Lexus smirked when he saw Candice's annoyed face. "There were a lot of reporters around here, so I was just being kind by kicking them out," Lexus replied with an innocent face, then he stretched out his hand.

"They came because you were here," Candice grumbled. She felt like kicking the man in front of her who was pretending to be innocent. It was very unlikely that Lexus would not even understand such a simple? concept. "Stop bothering me and they'll also stop coming here."

"I'm just helping, what's wrong with that?" Lexus asked with an innocent face.

Candice took a deep breath. Lexus was like a queen bee. Regardless of where he went, the reporters would automatically flock to him.

However, Candice didn't want to spend her time explaining what Lexus could have known by himself.

"If you have so much free time, why don't you spend it taking care of your company? Stop following me around," Candice grumbled.

"Oh, don't worry, Tordoff's company won't collapse just because I get home from work early." But, when Lexus saw Candice widen her eyes fiercely, he swiftly added, "I don't mean to be arrogant," he said.

Candice furrowed her brows, dealing with this strange and annoying man was really hurting her head. "Then, what do you mean by that?" Candice then nodded toward Lexus' hand that was still outstretched in front of her.

"Where are your car keys?" Lexus answered with a question of his own. "I'll take you home," Lexus declared confidently.

"Did I ask you to?" Candice narrowed her eyes dangerously, as if Lexus was a creature that had to be exterminated immediately because he was being a complete eyesore to her.

"No, I volunteered," Lexus said shamelessly, then waved his hand, indicating for Candice to give him her car keys so they could get out of there quickly. "Now where are your car keys," Lexus returned to ask for the car keys.

"Did I ever say that you could drive my car?" Candice was getting annoyed with Lexus' brazen behavior.

"Then, do you want to ride in mine?" Lexus offered. He himself did not know what possessed him to act like this.

Maybe it was because of the pressure and stress that Lexus tried to endure and suppress because the cases involving his family were getting so much attention from the media until he needed a means to channel his frustrations.

But, unlike most people, this was how Lexus would channel a prolonged sense of stress. He would turn into a very ignorant and a little reckless, only to make those around him feel the same frustration that he was feeling by his actions.

And Lexus couldn't bully Hailee as that woman had her own share of problems to deal with. There was no way Lexus could add to her frustration, because that would also mean he was looking for trouble with Ramon, therefore, Lexus came to Candice.

Seeing the girl's frustrated face made him feel better.

"You're crazy," Candice hissed, she then tried to push Lexus out of her way, but too bad Candice didn't have enough strength to get him to move from there.

"Come on, let me take you home," said Lexus, coaxing him. "If we stay here you will be the talk of your office." Lexus then nodded behind Candice, where she could see several of her colleagues that stumbled on the incident. Some even started recording them. They were now being openly watched from a distance.

"And whose fault is that?" Candice growled. She glared at Lexus fiercely, but the man was completely unfazed.

It took more than a fierce glare to make this Tordoff man feel intimidated.

"I won't blame you," said Lexus, smiling sweetly.

"Of course, you can't blame me when it's your fault!" Candice screamed in frustration, but then she realized it was not right for her to get emotional. Then in a tired voice she spoke again, "What do you really want from me Lexus?"

Candice couldn't believe that Lexus was so kind enough to take her home without wanting anything from her.

"I don't want anything from you, I already have everything." Lexus laughed when he saw Candice glaring fiercely at him. "But, I'm in need of a friend to chat with. Accompany me, okay?"

"You will leave after that?"

"I'll take you home after that."

Candice growled in annoyance, then she gave her car keys to Lexus. "I don't want to eat seafood anymore."

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

Hailee woke a few hours later to find Ramon still asleep while hugging her. His face was so close to hers that she could see the dark circles under his eyes.

The past few days must have taken a toll on Ramon.

It was a tough period for both of them and Lexus, although each of them acted like they were fine and could handle everything, but that didn't mean it could make them forget what happened.

They have their own way of dealing with and coping with this problem.

Slowly, Hailee reached out and gently stroked Ramon's face and ran her fingers over Ramon's slightly swollen lips, this sight brought a sweet smile to Hailee's lips.

Ramon sensed that Hailee had woken up, but because of his sleepiness, he still didn't really wake up and muttered while tightening his arms around his wife's body.

"I love you Hailee," Ramon murmured, his eyes still closed.
