It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 132: NIGHTMARE COMES TRUE

"Can I come in?" Even though Hailee asked, she didn't wait until Ramon answered her before she snuck into the man's room.

Ramon looked at Hailee who walked into the room and immediately slumped her body on the bed and pulled the blanket, as if this was her own room, while Ramon followed her before sitting beside her, saying nothing.

Hailee then made herself comfortable by pulling the blanket and covering almost half of her face before staring at Ramon in silence.

Ramon had a hunch on what this girl was doing, only he was more interested in reading his book again.

"You should rest," Hailee protested when she saw Ramon reading a book that could make someone faint if got thrown at with it, due to its sheer thickness.

"I am resting," Ramon answered Hailee without taking his eyes off the book in his hand.

"Rest means sleep," Hailee argued again. In her heart she asked; Doesn't Ramon worry about the wedding tomorrow at all? why does he look so calm and as if he is not affected whatsoever.

It made Hailee frown a little because she felt this is unfair. Could it be that she was the only one who felt this way?

After all, marriage would be a big moment in her life, when she changes her status from single and becomes someone's wife. One step closer to motherhood too ...

Ugh!

When Hailee remembered that particular thing, she couldn't get rid of the words of Ramon wanting a child from her. They sounded sweet and natural, but it still never failed to leave Hailee's heart pounding hard...

"That is your definition of rest?" Even though Ramon opposed what Hailee said, but in the end he closed the book and shifted his focus completely to Hailee, because the girl didn't stop staring at him without saying anything, plunging the atmosphere into utter awkwardness. "What do you want?"

Ramon then pulled up the blanket and propped his head on one side, while laying on his side so he could stare at Hailee more intensely.

There was no way this girl wouldn't want nothing after volunteering to climb onto the bed and getting under the blanket.

"Aren't you worried?" Hailee finally asked after being silent for a moment. She was wondering why Ramon could act like this, even though something big was going to happen in their lives tomorrow. "We are getting married tomorrow."

"I know," Ramon answered lightly and it was rewarded with Hailee's questioning gaze. She then supported her chin with her hand and moved closer to Ramon. "Is there something wrong?"

"How can you be that relaxed?" Hailee frowned and it made Ramon, instinctively, reach out his hand to rub his thumb on the crease between Hailee's brows.

"Why can't I stay relaxed?" Ramon asked her in return.

"There will be a big event happening tomorrow and it will change both of our lives," Hailee began to explain, although she wasn't sure if her words could describe exactly how she was really feeling right now.

"Then if I am worried like you, will that change anything regarding tomorrow?" Ramon asked again and Hailee grumbled.

Ugh! That is true...

"Don't fire me back with more questions." Hailee then shook Ramon's hand off her forehead and looked at the man more seriously, indicating that she wanted a serious answer as well. "It doesn't change anything, but at least you should feel something, right?"

"Feeling anxious about something that is bound to happen and can't be helped is a waste of time and effort," Ramon replied briefly and clearly. The hallmark of this man. He even considered it and did not want to lose.

Seriously...

"Have you ever stopped considering costs and losses of 'things'? It seems like your life is very monotonous," Hailee commented.

Maybe for other people, it would seem as if she was criticising Ramon's way of life, but for that man, this girl just didn't really understand the concept of life that he had been living all this time.

"That is the kind of life I have been living for the last thirty- two years," Ramon said.

And only after Ramon mentioned it did Hailee realize something. "You are old! Our age is eleven years apart!" She exclaimed. Not only that, the girl even dramatized it by immediately sitting down and staring at him by widening her large eyes, making Ramon frown in the process.

"So?" He asked defensively. "I have no problem marrying a younger girl, as long as you are not a minor."

Of course Ramon was aware of the age gap between the two of them, it was just that he hadn't really thought about it all this time, Hailee wasn't even a teenager who didn't have an ID card. She is a legal adult.

However, Hailee's reaction this time was a bit over the top, or was she doing it on purpose to annoy Ramon. He don't know, sometimes it is hard to guess how this girl's brain worked ...

Hearing Ramon's statement, Hailee snorted. "Of course you will not protest. You got a young girl, beautiful, talented, good cooking and rich enough to give you a diamond company, what else are you looking for?" Hailee said confidently.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with what Hailee was saying, it is just that her way of saying it, sounded a little annoying to Ramon's ears.

"And you got the most wanted bachelor in town A, a successful young entrepreneur who can guarantee your life and fulfill all your desires, just having me can make almost any woman jealous." Ramon raised his finger when Hailee was about to interrupt his words, indicating that he had not finished speaking. "And most importantly, you can boast about me in front of your adopted sister and ex-fiancée."

Ramon's words were straightforward and clear, showing how confident he was in himself. However, the thing was, there was nothing wrong with any of them, as they were all indisputable facts.

Especially the last sentence.

Although Aileen tried to hide her true feelings by trying to act casual, Hailee could see the jealousy behind Aileen's gaze whenever she saw Ramon.

Her adoptive sister was like a hungry tiger who found fresh meat, even Theodore's presence at her side could not make her hide those unspeakable intentions of hers.

It disgusted her as Hailee remembered how she used to treat Aileen and also her parents who treated her like their own child, because of what Aileen did to her was beyond common sense.

Aileen was like a pinched dog biting the hand of the very person who helped her.

"You are annoying," Hailee grumbled. "But the most annoying thing is that what you said is true." She then laid on her back and looked at the man next to her, squinting her eyes with agitation. "Where did you learn to be so shameless?"

"Where do you think did I learn it?" Ramon asked while looking at Hailee meaningfully.

"Oh ..." Hailee grimaced. It seemed that she had negatively affected Ramon without even realizing it.

However, it seemed that not only was Hailee unaware of the effect, Ramon had also just realized it now.

The arrogant words he had just said, were not things he would say in front of other people.

How funny it is when someone's attitude can affect you too and for that matter, it seems that some of Hailee's shameless traits have tainted Ramon as well.

"Why? You have a problem with a man whose age is far apart from yours?" Ramon asked, he stretched out his hand instinctively and tucked a strand of Hailee's hair behind the girl's ear.

Ramon watched silently how Hailee really thought about an answer to his question and it took about two full minutes before she was sure of her answer.

"I am fine." Hailee shrugged her shoulders. "Theodore is younger than you, but his attitude embarrasses even a ten year old."

"In that case, it is good." Ramon rubbed Hailee's cheek and felt her skin soft against the tips of his fingers. "Then we have no more problems."

Hailee flashed him her white teeth as she chuckled. "I told you, you are a jackpot. My jackpot"

After Hailee's laughter died down, a spell of silence fell between them, but it was not something that both of them were uncomfortable with, on the contrary, there was a strange calmness that enveloped them.

It was as if they could stare at each other until morning, and not feel awkward at all.

Is not this an extraordinary progression? How they could stay comfortable without any words involved between the two.

"Not worrying anymore now?" Ramon asked when he saw how Hailee blinked sleepily.

"I am." Hailee yawned. "But, just a little. You reduce my anxiety greatly."

"What's worrying you so much?" Ramon pulled up the blanket and covered Hailee's body, making the girl snuggle like a kitten under the warmth and comfort.

"That you are going to change your mind and leave me on our wedding day tomorrow," Hailee answered honestly, her voice sounding sleepy.

"What kind of thoughts are these?" Ramon frowned and flicked Hailee's forehead lightly, making the girl grumble indistinctly. "Overthinker."

"Not really," Hailee grumbled, pulling the blanket up to her nose, but her eyes peeking out from under the thick blanket were staring at Ramon. "Could a miracle happen and dramatically your amnesia got healed then you ran to find Giana, leaving me at our wedding alone, facing the guests asking where the groom is? It was the worst nightmare come true," she said all her worriness.

Indeed, it was too scary to think of…
