It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 135: WEDDING DAY (2)

"Certainly," Ramon answered with earnestness and took Hailee's hand to be led closer to him. His black eyes stared at the beautiful woman in front of him with an intensity that could make Hailee feel like her legs were about to give up. "You are very beautiful."

"You are beautiful too," Hailee replied without a second thought, and it wasn't until she heard Diego clear his throat and saw Ramon's suppressed expression like someone who was holding back laughter, did she realize that something was wrong with her answer.

Oops...

***

Theodore gazed from a distance at how Hailee walked so gracefully, her rosy cheeks flushed as she shyly raised her head and looked at her future husband, who was none other than Ramon Tordoff.

The commotion around them suddenly subsided when the main lights went out, leaving a dim light and two focus lights that shone on the two people who were about to become husband and wife.

Hailee walked past him, walking so calmly with a smile on her lips and the girl was staring at no one, but at the man, who was waiting for her.

"She is very beautiful ..." Theodore heard his mother sigh with regret and felt Aileen's body, who was leaning closer to his, stiffen, but Theodore was not in the mood to respond to that.

Theodore thought that ignoring her comment would make his mother stop, but it didn't. Instead, her mother voiced her regrets even more dejectedly in the same low whispering voice that only Theodore and Aileen could hear.

"If only I had a daughter- in- law like that, how graceful and honorable it would be ... considering her status as the rightful heir of Tatum Jewelry, she is very suitable to enter the Gevano family."

A moment later Mrs. Gevano added.

"In fact, she prefers her own sister over her adopted sister to be her bridesmaid... Indeed, whatever happens, the blood is thicker." This was especially clear for Aileen, who was not even chosen as her bridesmaid.

And of course the meaning of Mrs. Gevano words touched on the status of Hailee, who is the legal daughter of the Tatum couple, to belittle Aileen.

Not just because Hailee is the only daughter of the Tatum family, but because Hailee's mother is such a good friend of hers.

While Aileen, who heard that, could only bite her lip and pretend not to hear anything, but occasionally she would glance at Theodore, who did not do anything to indicate that he was going to help her or defend himself.

This fact is really annoying, considering how Ramon silenced people who tried to belittle and mock Hailee at breakfast together at Diego's house a few days ago, but Theodore didn't even blink when Aileen was subtly insulted by his mother.

Of course, because Theodore's attention was now not on the woman next to him, but on the woman he thought would never escape his grasp.

It's a cliché feeling, where you don't appreciate what you have until you lose it and find out that what you lost is far more beautiful than what you hold on to ...

Theodore stared at the two people as they both got entwined in the sacred bond of marriage ...

He really had lost the girl ...

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

Giana was standing next to Aidan, but their focus was on different places, they didn't even acknowledge that their partner was right next to them.

Because Giana continued to stare at Ramon, who smiled warmly at Hailee and the girl who smiled back with a happy expression in her eyes.

While Aidan focused on the girl standing behind Hailee, Zia Tatum, who was wearing a pale white dress and was smiling emotionally at her cousin.

Their eyes met for a moment, but Zia chose to pretend not to know him and under so many gazes, there was nothing Aidan could do to get close to her.

Their separation a few days ago is still profound in Aidan's memory and he still couldn't accept that their relationship had ended just like that.

In the past, Zia constantly suggested to end their affair, but they still continued to be in touch even after three years of Aidan and Giana's marriage.

It's just that, after their last breakup, Zia no longer replied to Aidan's messages or picked up calls from him.

And these last two days, Aidan was very sure that Zia had changed her phone number.

Damn it! Zia had never done this before, so Aidan knew how serious this woman was this time.

On the other hand, Giana gritted her molars when their wedding vows were finished and Hailee had officially become Mrs. Tordoff.

Applause and congratulations flooded the newly wedded couple, Mr. and Mrs. Tordoff. The two were now staring at each other with warm smiles on their lips.

Giana looked away when Ramon leaned in to kiss his wife ...

***

Hailee felt that the procession was going so smoothly that she didn't realize that it was finished.

Maybe, it was because Ramon was constantly holding her hand and looking at her very gently, which did a great job of making herself feel a little better, or maybe it was because she was feeling too happy that time was running fast.

Hailee was flustered to point of inserting the ring on Ramon's middle finger, when the man corrected her in a soft whisper.

"Mrs. Tordoff, that's my middle finger, not my ring finger."

Fortunately, that mistake was only realized by Ramon, because otherwise, the bubble of security that Hailee had created around her by only focusing on Ramon, would disappear instantly, if the guests started laughing at that little mistake.

"All your fingers look the same ..." Hailee whispered back and this time inserted the ring onto the correct finger, while Ramon just laughed softly.

The laughter sounded so melodious, even more pleasant than the strains of the instruments that accompanied the sacred procession.

However, the calm is disturbed when Hailee heard how the people around her started clapping their hands before congratulating the newly wedded couple.

Instinctively, Hailee turned her head and found hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at her very intensely, along with the room lights turning on again.

Do not panic...

Do not panic...

Do not panic...

Hailee tried to calm herself down by saying this, but of course the little incantation didn't help her in her quest to calm down at all.

It's known, this is the first time Hailee has become the center of attention of all the people who had gathered in one big room like this.

Meanwhile, seeing how the look in Hailee's eyes began to turn nervous, Ramon reached out and cupped Hailee's two cheeks, forcing gently for his wife to look back at him.

"Just focus on me," said Ramon softly, who then leaned in to land the first kiss on Hailee's lips, the first kiss of the wedding ceremony.

At first, it was just a sweet kiss, which lasted less than two seconds, to take Hailee's attention away from the guests, but the second time Ramon kissed his wife, it was a long kiss, which made Hailee, not only forget the people around them, but also forgot everything, except the man.

Ramon's lips pressed against Hailee's lips demandingly, teasing her with his tongue that brushed the surface of hers.

Ramon's breath was warm and who knows at which second, Hailee forgot to breathe and, bravely, embraced the man's waist.

It seemed like Hailee didn't want this moment to end at all...

However, even though this moment had ended, wouldn't she be able to get it any time she wanted?

This is just the start, right?

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

Hailee was now changing into the third dress, the evening gown which was also the last dress, indicating that the wedding party was coming to an end.

And Hailee couldn't wait to get out of her own wedding.

It's not that Hailee doesn't like it. This party is just amazing and all. Lis has actually managed to embody the concept of the wedding she always wanted.

It's just that, Hailee was very tired as she had to smile continuously at the hundreds of guests who came to congratulate them. Almost all of whom she does not know.

Her jaw felt very stiff and her throat was dry from so much pleasantries and smiles. Her head started to feel dizzy because she had been standing for too long.

Hailee believed that her smile in the past hour has looked a little forced.

"Very well, Mrs. Tordoff, you look very graceful and beautiful." One of the employees of the Diva, who helped Hailee with her dress and fix her slightly worn make- up, looked at Hailee in awe. "If you don't need anything else, we can go out now."

"Actually, I would love to have a drink," Hailee said, her throat burning from being too dry. "I want cold mineral water."

The employee looked around her, but did not find cold mineral water, which Hailee wanted, in the room.

"Oh, I will find it for you," she said enthusiastically.

"Thank you very much," Hailee said gratefully and the clerk replied with a simple; It is okay.

After that, the clerk left, leaving Hailee to sit alone at her dressing table.

Indeed, not many people were in Hailee's dressing room, because she didn't even need help to put on her dress and re- apply her make- up, because the two clerks were enough.

When one employee went to get a drink for Hailee, another employee was away to take care of something else.

Therefore, here is Hailee, sitting alone in front of a large mirror while staring at herself dizzily and heard someone knocked on the door.

A knocking sound startled her and made her turn her head to see who was the person who had entered this room without permission.

And there he stood; a man that didn't cross Hailee's mind at all, who would approach her in the dressing room.

"What are you doing here?" Hailee frowned, clearly displeased with the fact that this man was coming into the room without permission.

In front of her, Theodore was looking a little awkwardly at Hailee. He touched his hand and smiled shyly at her.

Sigh! Why did this creature have to be here? He was the last person Hailee wanted to see.

Hailee did see Theodore among the crowd that had come. She also saw the silhouettes of his parents and Aileen as well.

Based on Hailee's brief observation, it seemed that Aileen was still having a hard time getting in and mingling with the people in the Gaveno family, especially with Theodore's parents.

For some reason, this fact made Hailee even happier. She was delighted to hear any news that was troubling Aileen.

Good for her ungrateful adoptive sister!
