It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 507 GENETICS

Apple felt that something was wrong with all the things that were happening before her right now, but she couldn't deny that she felt very awkward sitting next to Mrs. Tordoff and in the presence of Mr. Tordoff.

The man looked cold and scary and Apple didn't know where to put her hands or where to look, because now she felt that anything she did would be seen wrongly.

On the other hand, Hailee seemed completely oblivious to the stress that Apple was going through and was very happy to be able to chat with the girl.

"I haven't seen you in a long time," she said cheerfully. "If I'm not mistaken, the last time I saw you was when you were a teenager, when Pyro first got custody of you."

Of course, Pyro managed to get custody of Apple once he found out what happened and how they treated his daughter, but more than that, of course, the Tordoff family's big name role provided the necessary influence in the trial.

"Do you remember when you two met when you were little?" Hailee asked again, she seemed much happier than anyone to be able to chat with her future daughter-in-law.

"Not…." Apple answered hesitantly. She kept staring at Jayden, begging for his help, but the man seemed to have other problems just as big as hers to deal with currently.

"You don't have to stare at Jayden all the time, it'll get to his big head if you treat him too special," Hailee reprimanded Apple to make her stop stealing glances at her son.

"Of course she can't do that, she's too impressed by my good looks," Jayden replied proudly, but his eyes couldn't lie that he knew there would be a serious conversation between him and his father soon.

"I don't think that's the case," Hailee said sneeringly at her son, waving her hand casually. "You really have inherited your father's character."

But, on the other hand, Ramon actually frowned and looked at his wife with eyes that seemed to say; Isn't it your nature to be overconfident at times? However, Ramon did not say this openly.

And that was exactly what Jayden thought before, because after that, Hailee very smoothly ushered Apple out of the office.

"Never mind..." Hailee said calmly then stood up while pulling Apple with her along. "I haven't come to town A in a long time, you don't mind accompanying me shopping right?"

And of course the answer Apple could say was 'yes', because there's no way she'd turn down the invitation. Actually, it was not an invitation, but rather a coercion, because Apple did not have many options to choose as an answer.

"So let the men talk about their problems and we can go shopping, what do you think? Great idea, right?" Hailee smiled so kindly at Apple that it was impossible for the girl not to smile back.

Finally Apple gave in and nodded, but before leaving the room, Apple took the time to turn and look at Jayden again, but unfortunately the man had put his focus on his father.

"Come on," Hailee said as she gently pushed Apple's shoulder. "You don't have to worry, Ramon won't eat your lover."

Apple shuddered when she heard the insinuation, but then she followed Hailee out of the room.

As soon as the two women were no longer in the room, the tension in the air plunged the atmosphere in the room and this made Jayden no longer able to feel calm.

Damn!

Even after all the years he had known his father, he still couldn't help but feel nervous when he had to face this old man.

Well, Ramon didn't look too old even at the age of fifty years, but the aura that radiated from his body couldn't be mistaken at all. He has a strong presence.

"Dad," Jayden said as the silence started to make him uncomfortable. "What brought you here?"

"Isn't this still my company too? Can't I come here anymore?" Ramon stood up and walked across the room and sat in Jayden's chair looking at his son.

Even after all these years, Jayden still felt that he was just a teenage boy who was being scolded by his father for misbehaving.

"That's not what I meant, you know that's not what I meant," said Jayden, waving his hand. Ugh! He felt like he just wanted to call his mother, because his mother was always able to make his father look a little less scary, suppressing the dark aura around Ramon, especially when he was in a rage like he was now.

"So, start explaining what's going on between you and the Gevano family?" Ramon leaned his back against the back of the chair and glared at Jayden.

Jayden felt like he was back to those days when he was a bratty boy, who was being scolded by his father, only his father was a hundred times scarier now.

"I think you've heard what happened."

"Yes," Ramon replied curtly. "But, I want to hear from your mouth directly. Because right now I'm really annoyed that I have to come back to this city in the middle of my vacation with your mother."

Vacation my ass! His father had been on the island for many years and the last time he came to the city A was a year ago!

But, of course Jayden couldn't show that expression to his father. Ramon would chew his head out if he complained about the 'vacation with your mom' concept.

Jayden sighed and sat across the table, opposite Ramon. He looked at his father with furrowed brows and began to explain the problem.

"Now I have reported all the work he did to the authorities, but this is very difficult, because the Gevano family also has people in the government." Jayden sighed. To Ramon, he didn't look like the Jayden Tordoff people out there said he was. No matter what, he was still his boy.

"Reporting to the authorities?" Ramon narrowed his eyes. "How could you be such a fool?"

"Maybe genetics?" Jayden replied and got a deadly glare from Ramon.
