It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 721: YOU MAKE ME SO HAPPY

For some reason, he felt like the skin on his upper back had been scraped off completely and this made him uncomfortable.     

He was still sleepy, but he couldn't continue sleeping because of the excruciating pain from his back as well as his head.     

What the hell was wrong with him? Derek groaned in pain and then turned around, but when he moved his body, the pain in his back intensified.     

Until finally, Derek decided to open his eyes and found himself in his own room, at his uncle's house.     

Hmm? How did he get here? Didn't he go out drinking last night after which he went to Gladys' apartment, where he made a fuss and luckily, the girl just came back from outside and met him in the lobby.     

Derek was very sure that Gladys had brought him back into her apartment, because he well remembered how relieved he was then.     

But, why when he opened his eyes, he was in his own room at his uncle's house? This was very illogical, wasn't it?     

Was last night just a dream? Because he missed Gladys so much, he had strange dreams? Was it really so? Because Derek was so sure that he met Gladys and the girl brought himself to her place because Derek was so drunk.     

Not long after, mustering all his strength and ignoring the pain in his back and head, Derek got out of bed. He had to find his own answer about last night, whether he had just dreamed or it really happened.     

Therefore, he immediately staggered toward the door and then into the living room, where he found James and Nadia, both of them watching a program on television.     

Needless to say, the program they were watching was none other than the one regarding the interview that Nadia recently gave.     

He didn't know what the two of them were talking about to each other, but they were both laughing and looking very happy.     

On the other hand, Derek didn't care what they were talking about, because when he spoke, his voice was very hoarse, as if he had just eaten sand and his throat was very dry.     

"Last night… what happened last night?" asked Derek, he then walked to the single sofa and sat there. He looked at James and Nadia one by one, hoping they did not need unnecessary persuasion.     

"You don't remember at all?" James asked, he then looked at Nadia, whose face looked very beaming. Of course she was happy, imagine how much money was in her account now…     

"No, I don't remember anything..." Derek said honestly. His head was still throbbing painfully.     

"How much did you actually drink last night?" Nadia grumbled.     

Then the two of them started to tell what happened last night and how Derek got home.     

There seemed to be a man who had escorted Derek back, though they couldn't identify the man's features, because the three friends he had gone out with last night did not match with this new one.     

So, Derek concluded that it was one of Gladys' bodyguards that had brought him home.     

Though, Derek thought that this morning he would finally get a chance to talk to Gladys again and find himself home, what a disappointment.     

And after listening to their explanation, Derek then got up and walked to the bathroom, his back still hurt so bad and he wanted to check what really happened now.     

He felt like he had been beaten last night and if that was the case, it was certain it was Gladys' bodyguards that had done this.     

But apparently, when Derek took off his shirt and saw his reflection in the mirror, he was beyond shocked, because he'd much rather be beaten and bruised than see what Gladys had done to him.     

Quickly and furiously, he got out of the bathroom and then took his cell phone to call Gladys, because it was certain that the culprit was the girl.         

Derek thought Gladys wasn't going to pick up the phone, because he was already planning to go over to the girl's apartment again and hold her accountable for what she had done to him.     

But, unexpectedly, Gladys picked up this phone call and it left Derek quite surprised, because he didn't expect this at all.     

=======================      

Gladys woke up this morning with a much fresher mind and a much more radiant face. She felt happy and relieved, especially when the memory of last night's events came back to her and this made her chuckle.     

And then, just as Gladys had expected, Derek had called her as soon as he realized what she had done to him last night.     

At first, Gladys had no intention of picking up the phone call, but then she was curious about what this man would say.     

So she decided to pick up the call and the first thing she heard was Derek's screams so loud that she had to keep the phone away from her ear.     

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, GLADYS!? ARE YOU CRAZY?!" he shouted angrily, maybe if Derek was here, Gladys could see himself spitting fire in anger.     

Too bad they were so far apart and there was no possibility for Gladys to witness it.     

"YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME!? DON'T JOKE, GLADYS! THIS IS NOT FUN AT ALL!" Derek roared angrily when he found out what was the reason his back hurt so much.     

"I'm not joking, why do you think I'm joking?" asked Gladys in an innocent voice, then she smiled and got out of bed to walk to the kitchen and make herself some tea. "You saw the inscription behind your back, didn't you? Of course it's real and not a joke."     

Gladys said very casually, as if what she had done was neither big nor significant.     

"Aren't you the one who really wanted that?" asked Gladys, then reminded Derek of the vow he made last night. "You even gave me permission, you yourself said that you wanted to always remember me, and therefore, I fulfilled your wish. You should be thanking me, you know that tattoo artists are very expensive, right?"     

"DAMN YOU, GLADYS!" cried Derek furiously.     

Yes, that was what Gladys did at the suggestion of Apple. She called a tattoo artist she knew last night and tattooed her name in very large letters on Derek's back.     

The name was horizontal and could be read very clearly, as if the name was capslocked and bolded.     

The tattoo artist she knew had said that Derek shouldn't have been tattooed drunk, but since it wasn't a dangerous situation, he agreed when Gladys persuaded him, especially when she promised a pretty high fee.     

Who would not accept money?     

After all that was done, Gladys ordered one of her bodyguards to take Derek home to the home address that had been provided by Apple.     

And this was what happened. Gladys was grateful she decided to pick up the phone, because she had never laughed so loudly as she did now when she heard how angry Derek was.     

She was so satisfied with what she had done, she should celebrate this with Apple too, because this was her idea.     

"Why?" asked Gladys innocently. "Why are you cursing me now? Don't you love me? You told yourself last night that you wouldn't be able to forget me, and now I can confirm that you will never forget me."     

Of course, Derek wouldn't be able to forget Gladys when her name was so clearly tattooed on his back like this.     

"You really are a bitch!" cried Derek furiously. He didn't know what to say when she was being like this.     

He couldn't possibly get rid of this tattoo and even if he could, he wouldn't have enough money to get it removed, because it would be very expensive.         

"Yeah, yeah… keep remembering this bitch," Gladys said casually and she hung up the phone with one sweet kiss. "Goodbye, Derek. Hope you like my farewell gift."     

And after saying that, she hung up the phone while Derek was cursing at her, and then laughed out loud because Derek tried to call her so many times and left so many messages, which only Gladys replied with a laughing emoji, which made the guy even more angry that Gladys didn't take him seriously.     

========================      

"What is it? You seem really cheerful after you got a call from Gladys?" Jayden asked when he had just finished showering, his hair still wet, so Apple took the towel she used earlier to dry his hair.     

"Gladys recounted a funny incident this morning," replied Apple, who then recounted what happened.     

"I don't mind having your name tattooed," Jayden said, but Apple slapped him lightly on the shoulder.     

"Don't mess around," she grumbled.     

Jayden then lowered his head while nudging her flat belly slowly while Apple dried his hair.     

"Stop that, it's ticklish," Apple said, trying to get away from Jayden's fingers that were constantly nudging her belly. Jayden paused, but then he knelt down and kissed her stomach, making Apple laugh. "What exactly are you doing?" asked Apple.     

"I was just saying hello to my child," Jayden replied in a soft voice. "Good morning, my baby." Jayden then landed a soft kiss on Apple's stomach. "You make me so happy," he said in a sincere voice.
