It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 137: JEALOUSY TYPE

"Ms. Tatum, this is the cold water you asked for," said the employee as she walked across the room and handed the glass in her hand to Hailee. She smiled pleasantly and nodded sheepishly at Lexus.

"She is Mrs. Tordoff now," Lexus corrected the clerk. Yes, Hailee has officially become Mrs. Tordoff less than six hours ago and Lexus wanted everyone to remember it the right away.

The employee laughed softly as she patted her forehead. "Yes, Mrs. Tordoff, I mean. Sorry I forgot."

"It's okay ..." Hailee waved her hand and smiled knowingly at the girl, not wanting to prolong this trivial matter.

"You don't need to mention it out loud, I find it strange," Hailee said in a low voice, which only Lexus could hear as she took a sip of her drink.

"You just have not gotten used to it yet, and neither do these people." Lexus replied in a slightly arrogant manner, it seemed that he was still annoyed that another man had entered his sister- in- law's dressing room.

Lexus would make sure that he will have serious talks with the security of this place. How could a stranger enter Hailee's room without permission?

"You can go," Lexus said to the female clerk. "Mrs. Tordoff will be back at the party with me."

The clerk smiled and withdrew, leaving the room and the two of them.

Only after the sound of the door closing was heard, did Lexus turn his attention to Hailee who was still sipping her water, seemingly not at all bothered by Lexus's gaze which was more intense than usual.

"What?" Hailee asked after finishing her water and putting the glass on the table, she checked the maroon lipstick on her lips and made sure the thirst event didn't spoil her appearance at all.

"How could a drunk man enter this room?" Lexus growled with displeasure.

"Hm?" Hailee tilted her head and looked at Lexus. "Drunk?" She didn't think Theodore was drunk, maybe a little tipsy, but he didn't look drunk.

"I could smell the alcohol on his body, you know." Lexus folded his arms. He smelled the faint smell as he passed Theodore earlier. His olfactory senses could be said to be very sharp to be able to detect the faint smell. "So who is the man who trespassed into my sister- in- law's changing room?" Lexus showed a sullen expression when he asked that question.

Hailee laughed softly when she heard that. Lexus looked funny with this attitude.

"Why are you laughing? Is he your fan?" Lexus slumped himself down on the sofa and slightly loosened the tie wrapped around his neck.

"I am not an artist, so how could I have fans?" Hailee shook her head. "He is my future brother- in- law."

"Oh." Lexus lips rounded. "So he is the future husband of your adoptive sister?" Of course Lexus knew that Aileen was the adopted daughter of the Tatum family, but that was all he knew, because everything else didn't really catch his eye.

For example, he did not know that the name of the one who had come to see Hailee was Theodore Gevano, because their family businesses had never crossed paths.

"Yep, they will get engaged next month," Hailee gave the little information and sat beside Lexus. "Has Ramon returned to the party?"

"Yes, he was back ten minutes ago and was looking for his wife." Lexus glanced at Hailee and got a light blow to the arm. "That's why I am here to pick you up."

"All right, then let's go before Ramon misses me too much." Hailee then rose to her feet.

"You are too confident," Lexus muttered and then followed Hailee out of the room.

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

The whole event was amazing, with lovely music and great food and important guests that one could not miss.

That said, this is the place to be when one want to build relationships over sumptuous meals and attend grand parties.

However, not everyone enjoyed the event.

Even the bride seemed to be starting to feel uncomfortable with the attention being poured over her, and Ramon realized this.

Especially when Hailee started sulking in a low voice that only he could hear and made Ramon, again, unable to stop thinking about what was going through his wife's head.

"I smiled too much."

"My cheeks hurt."

"Looks like after this event is over I will never smile again."

"I think I am almost becoming a joker."

"I should have dressed up like a joker so I didn't have to smile too much."

Ramon, who was listening, glanced at Hailee who was smiling fakely at the people who were waving at her from a distance, even though Ramon was sure that Hailee didn't know anyone of them.

Of course, with her new status now, Hailee will be the center of attention wherever she went and there will be lots of people who will be happy to make friends with her.

"If you dress up like Joker, should I dress up like Robin?" Ramon replied, smiling at the few guests who were watching them.

"You should dress up like Harley Quinn, not Robin." Hailee criticized Ramon for his comments and made her husband frowned.

"I think our married life would never be dull and be very interesting," Ramon commented and then pulled Hailee toward the dance floor as the music started to change to a softer tune.

"Ramon, what are you doing?" Hailee looked at Ramon with shocked eyes, although her lips still had a smile on them. "You know I can't dance." Hailee hissed out those words, reminding her husband that she was not a very good dancer.

"Don't worry, I am excellent." Ramon prided himself and laughed when he saw Hailee glaring at him.

When they saw the bride and groom stepping on to the dance floor, the couples immediately made room for the two of them, to watch the 'show'.

"You think, with your skills, you can make up for my shortcomings?" Hailee winced as Ramon spun her around and caught her back in his warm embrace. Oh God, save my heart! "I am going to embarrass myself," whispered Hailee when Ramon hugged her again.

"You think I will allow my wife to embarrass herself?" Ramon asked in a low voice that sounded very sexy.

Ugh!

Couldn't he speak in an ordinary voice? But, wait ... He sounds like that usually, so what else could she do?

"So you are going to cover me up?" Hailee asked with a crooked smile. "I never thought that you were a gentleman." Of course Ramon is a gentleman, Hailee is just teasing him.

"You are my wife now, your pride is my pride." Ramon then turned Hailee around once again and the room spun around as Hailee caught the admiring gazes of several people until Ramon's face was back in her line of sight.

"Your words touched me," Hailee grimaced, didn't get use to hear such cute lines especially from Ramon when no one was listening to them.

But then, their small talk is interrupted a little when they noticed someone standing next to them. A man was holding out his hand to Hailee.

At first Hailee was confused, she didn't immediately understand what the man intention. Only after she looked around, did she realize what was happening.

She have seen a dance party where people swapped partners to dance one after another, and that is exactly what is happening now.

The man asked Hailee to dance with him and Ramon had to let him because there were other women who were waiting to dance with him as well.

"Ah, that ..." Hailee stuttered. She can't dance! So how could she accept someone else's helping hand?

"She will stay with me," Ramon said, smiling politely at the man who was still holding out his hand and waiting for Hailee to accept his invitation. Ramon's hug on Hailee's waist tightened.

For a moment, the man was flabbergasted but then he smiled and went to greet the woman who was also waiting for Ramon, leaving the bride and groom to dance with their own partners.

"Shouldn't you be not refusing him?" Hailee glanced at the man who was now dancing with a woman in a bright yellow dress, then turned her attention back to Ramon, who was staring at her with gentle eyes.

"Why not?" Ramon then twisted Hailee's body once again and caught her deftly, avoiding a man who was about to ask Hailee's hand again to dance with her. Ramon shook his head politely, indicating that he would not switch partners. "This is our wedding and our party, why can't I do what I like?"

Hailee grinned broadly as she felt a tiny butterfly begin to flap its wings inside her stomach, creating a pleasant tingling sensation.

"How can you do that?" She asked.

"They can walk away from this party if they don't like it." Ramon shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "I do not care."

This attitude made Hailee laugh. She had never been this happy before. Oh, she should thank Aileen, because without her, Hailee wouldn't have been able to get a chance to enjoy her current position.

And also Hailee should be thankful that her adopted sister took Theodore out of her life.

Hailee couldn't imagine how Aileen's expression would be when she found out that her proud future husband had sneaked into the room of his ex- fiancé who had already become another man's wife.

Aileen should have seen how Theodore's expression was when he apologized to Hailee.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Ramon asked, turning Hailee around twice before catching her into his arms again. "Do you remember anything funny?" He asked.

"Theo came to me to the dressing room earlier," Hailee whispered to tell Ramon.

"Theo?" Ramon raised his eyebrows.

"Theodore, Theodore Gevano." Hailee reminded Ramon. "There's no way you forgot about him right?"

Ramon shook his head. "Of course I remember your ex- fiancé." He deliberately emphasized the word; ex- fiancée in his short sentence. "But, the way you call him Theo sounds very intimate."

Hailee laughed at Ramon's excuse which sounded almost absurd, but to the other people around who were paying attention to them, the two people really looked very affectionate, especially when Ramon didn't allow anyone to dance with his wife.

Then Hailee told him what happened earlier.

In fact, Ramon already knew all that from Lexus. His beloved younger brother, of course, would not have missed this historic moment by not reporting it to him.

He even told Ramon to be careful because Hailee looked so stunning tonight and made some men lose their sanity.

Ramon ignored the last sentence in Lexus' speech and listened intently to what Hailee had to say, without saying anything.

"Are you the jealous type Mr. Tordoff?" Hailee asked in a teasing tone.
