It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 160: SMALL THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY

The sky was so bright when Giana set foot in the airport of city A. She was wearing black glasses and a dark leather jacket combined with a matching shirt and pants.

From the way she was dressed, others could tell that her mood was as gloomy as the clothes she was wearing, the opposite of the weather today.

Mrs. Smith walked alone while dragging her suitcase and headed to a place where she could find a taxi with an expressionless face. There was no smile whatsoever on her lips when airport officials greeted her.

Yes, Giana was alone, because Dillon had come home early two days ago.

Actually, there really was nothing urgent to do, requiring the presence of Giana or Dillon, in other words; Dillon could just go home with Giana today.

However, Dillon chose to go home early and not be with Giana after their awkward chat a few days ago after the incident that night.

They talked for a long time, which took over three hours. But, if one listened to their entire chat, which was mostly filled with silence, then they would know that they actually talked for less than an hour.

And the essence of the conversation was; Giana and Dillon agreed to forget about the incident and carry on with their lives as usual, pretending that nothing had happened between them.

That was the decision that the two of them thought the best.

It was a wise decision and far more sensible than Dillon having to quit his job and cut ties with Giana out of awkwardness.

Because Dillon's departure would have a big impact not only on the company but also on Giana's life.

Well, after all, Giana still needed her best friend amidst her chaotic household problems which were now getting tapered, and that one night's mistake was not worth losing Dillon's support at all.

Though it sounded selfish, but she needed him, professionally and unprofessionally.

Therefore, they both agreed on this.

However, it didn't seem as easy as they thought, because the last two days, when Dillon coordinated with Giana on work, they both felt so awkward, even though it was just a chat on the phone and not meeting in person.

Really, one fatal mistake was enough to destroy an age old relationship.

But, at least they were both adults and could respond to this much sensibly.

It was just that, there was still something stuck in Giana's heart and her guilt toward Ramon was even stronger than what she felt toward Aidan.

Of course, because Giana never thought about Aidan's feelings while she maintained an affair with Ramon, neither did Aidan, when he got into an affair behind Giana.

Her marriage was not only complicated, but also full of toxic relationships. More than these, Giana was sure that she would lose her sanity.

Now, she had to go back to the Smith family, explain her and Aidan's troubles, and work out her divorce to the man.

Giana didn't have any problem even if she didn't get a single penny from her marriage to Aidan, because she had never run out of money so far. However, what would become a problem later was how the two families would respond in this regard.

Their reaction could already be imagined by Giana and she knew this feud would not go smoothly.

There would be a lot of drama and she needed a ton of energy to spend.

Not to mention if Giana's status got changed, then she would also face unpleasant accusations and assumptions.

Giana then raised her head and looked at the hot sun from behind her sunglasses...

This is going to be really hard...

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

Hailee felt her cheekbones hurt because she had to force a smile on her lips for the past two hours.

Yes, Hailee followed Ramon to attend a meeting with two important people Hailee always saw on television, some sort of county official in the city, but she didn't remember until the two of them introduced themselves.

Ugh! Hailee's knowledge was weak in this matter, as she had never paid more attention to matters of business and government.

However, in the midst of this super boring chat, Hailee found consolation by knowing how great her husband was at negotiating and leading the conversation in the direction he actually wanted.

Not only that, Hailee could even see how efficient Ramon was at work and his brilliant ideas, which not only cut the budget, but also wasted no time working on something he thought was useless.

It was just that the admiration only lasted for an hour, because after that, the boredom that attacked Hailee became much annoying and made the girl decide to be in her own world.

When Ramon and the two people were talking so seriously that they didn't really notice Hailee, who didn't say anything more after greeting and giving some short pleasantries, maybe they even forgot that Hailee was there, the girl was busy too.

She looked for her own busy- ness by looking at the semi- finished building and turning her attention to its surroundings.

The plan was, Ramon would build a large mall in this place. The biggest mall that could compete with all malls in city A.

However, the process would take some time due to weather factors and several other things.

Therefore, Ramon took the time to visit this place and specifically invited the two regional officials, because this mall would of course require a lot of workers, which in turn would create new jobs around that place.

The building was huge and Hailee could imagine that this place would literally become a shopping center and be filled with visitors.

It would be extraordinary, but for Ramon, this would only be an addition to his money- making machine, adding to his already very abundant coffers of wealth.

Well, if this man could be describe in two words, it would be; money maker.

Sometimes, Hailee would wonder why Ramon wanted her small company compared to his other projects, to the point where Ramon was willing to marry her.

But, lucky for Hailee because her marriage to Ramon went smoothly, without any significant obstacles. Maybe it was too quick to think that way, because they just got married a few weeks ago...

And they still have a lot to deal with together, it's just that they had a great start, right? Remembering Ramon also paying more attention to Hailee like a husband even though no one else was around them.

For example, like little things like this...

Hailee was walking too slowly and she fell behind, but Ramon then reached out and grabbed Hailee's hand so that she wouldn't stray too far from him, even though he did so while still talking to the two people walking on his left.

It was this little attentive nature that made Hailee's heart flutter and her face flushed, forgetting about her boredom a little.

Ramon did it very natural as if he meant every single action. Maybe… just maybe… though they started this relationship in strange way, they could be a normal couple like everyone else.

Or when the wind blew from the unclosed gaps of the half- finished building tangled Hailee's hair, messing up a little.

It was at this time that Ramon stretched out his hand and smoothened Hailee's hair, momentarily ignoring the two people's explanation.

You could see, how easily Hailee could fall in love with Ramon, with his simple action like that…

Because every gesture of that man, always gave Hailee its own sensation that made her wonder again; If Ramon's lost memory had returned, would he still treat Hailee the same?

Sometimes, when this question crossed Hailee's heart, she would brush it off, not really wanting to think about it.

"So, what do you think?" Ramon suddenly asked Hailee, turning his undivided attention to his wife who looked bored while looking around with disinterested eyes.

"Eh?" Hailee stuttered at a question she didn't hear at all. What did Ramon mean? She didn't hear the question at all, so how could she answer it?

Seeing Hailee who looked confused, Ramon then explained briefly and only drew conclusions on the explanation given by the two regional officials.

And the bottom line was; the two regional officials agreed more that the ground floor of this mall was made as an art exhibition venue, thereby adding to the aesthetic value of the place.

However, it seemed that Ramon's heart wasn't with with this suggestion. Therefore, he asked Hailee's opinion.

Well, a second opinion was good and needed, but Hailee simply didn't understand the concept and how marketing worked for things like this.

Hence, Hailee gave Ramon a doubtful look and answered honestly. "I don't understand the matter at all." Hailee glanced at the two officials who were staring at her with raised eyebrows, as if waiting for what she had to say.

In fact, the fact that Ramon asked his wife's opinion was quite shocking for the two of them.

They didn't expect a dominant figure like Ramon to appreciate Hailee's opinion. But, maybe it was like what people always say; that a man could change if he met the right woman.

And Ramon was a real life example.

"But…" Hailee said hesitantly, in fact she had an opinion, but didn't know if this would help or not.

Because after all, Hailee didn't have much knowledge on these business related topics, yet as someone who liked to visit several big malls, she had a view of her own.

"But?" Ramon repeated Hailee's words, waiting patiently for his wife to continue what she wanted to say.
