It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 104: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

"Hailee, can we talk?" Theodore repeated his question.

"Talk?" Hailee raised her eyebrows and her expression turned into one that was mocking. "I think there's nothing to talk about, Mr. Gevano." Hailee felt proud of her voice which sounded firm and strong. Showing her absolute dislike for any topic that Theodore wanted to discuss.

Hearing Hailee refer to him as 'Mr. Gevano', somehow annoyed Theodore a little. He didn't like to hear such distant addressing from her.

But, he also didn't know why he was so desperate that he even prevented Hailee from entering her room only to have a conversation with the girl when he himself didn't know what to ask.

Theodore knew that this was very wrong, especially when Aileen was sleeping in the adjacent room, after what the two of them had done before, and now Theodore was behind the same door, holding back his ex- fiancée to have a private conversation with her.

But, sometimes desire overcomes logic...

"I think I owe you an apology," Theodore said in a low voice.

"An apology?" Hailee raised her eyebrows, indicating that she did not believe what Theodore said just now. "Why do you have to apologize?"

Then, in one motion, Hailee pulled her hand away from Theodore's grasp. The man was quite surprised, but understood why Hailee did that, after all, he too didn't want any misunderstandings to arise, and said nothing.

As long as Hailee just listened to him, that was enough, because he really owed this girl an apology.

While folding his arms in front of his chest, Theodore then moistened his dry lips, he never felt like this when he had to talk to Hailee before.

"You know why I am sorry, Hailee," Theodore said with an uncomfortable facial expression, for being stared at by the girl in front of him.

"No, I don't know." Hailee shook her head quickly and imitated Theodore's gesture of folding her arms in front of her chest, indicating that she was being defensive toward this man.

"You really want me to say it out loud?" Theodore squinted at Hailee. He didn't like to admit his mistakes like this, because so far he never felt he had to apologize to anyone. As the sole heir to the Gevano family, he had no obligation to apologize for anything trivial.

But, if Theodore apologized to Hailee this time, then this girl would not be just something 'trivial' to him anymore.

"Well, if you don't want to say anything, I will go back to my room, because I am too tired for this chat," Hailee said in a tone that sounded tired, as if just facing this man in front of her drained her energy.

"I am sorry that I have a relationship with Aileen behind your back," Theodore said in a nervous voice.

And frankly, Theodore's sudden confession was enough to surprise Hailee, because as far as she could tell, Theodore Gevano had a very hard time saying sorry. He always thought that he was much better than other people.

Now Hailee felt stupid because she used to have a relationship with this man, and even held the status of his fiancé, even though it was only for one month, before it all ended.

Actually, Hailee didn't have deep feelings for Theodore either, it was just that, because he was her first lover and they were in a serious relationship, she felt that she should act as a good lover.

Only for her to realize that her kindness was only used by Theodore and Aileen, so that the two of them could play couple behind her.

What a fool she had been...

"I don't think you need to apologize to me for that matter," Hailee said nonchalantly. "You don't need to apologize, because I should be the one to thank you."

"Hailee... I mean it when I say that I regret what I did." Theodore attempted to touch Hailee, but his hand stopped in midair when he saw her look of displeasure. Then awkwardly, Theodore folded his arms again. "That's wrong, whatever the reason, and I admit it."

"Then? What do you want from me?" Hailee asked, exhaling heavily, as if bored with this conversation. "All of that has already happened, whatever you say won't change anything. So what do you want now Theo?"

What he want?

Even Theodore still didn't understand what he wanted from telling Hailee all this.

What Theodore knew was; his impulsiveness forced him to say how he felt now.

But, apart from that, he didn't understand why he had the urge to have a little conversation with Hailee.

It was as if he missed the meaningless babble that Hailee always said or the ridiculous stories she always told when they were together.

At that time, Theodore felt that everything Hailee said was completely meaningless and tended to be annoying, but now… he felt a little bit missing it all…

"I want us to be on good terms like before." Theodore finally decided to give the most diplomatic and also the cheapest answer ever.

'On good terms' after what happened? It is just a hopeless wish.

Who wanted to be on good terms with your ex who cheated on you with your own sister? And it was the same sister, who had sold Hailee and made her life fall apart.

Who will do that?

There might be some women who would agree to maintain good relationships with exes like Theodore, but Hailee was definitely not one of them.

"Okay, how about we go back to our relationship three years ago?" Hailee asked sarcastically, because three years ago, they had not even met each other.

Theodore had expected Hailee's reaction to be something like this, but he tried anyway. "Hailee ..."

"Oh, right!" Hailee raised her hand to stop whatever disgusting words Theodore was trying to say. "You don't need to feel sorry for me, because if you don't have an affair with Aileen, I'll end up with you and I can assure you that it will be a nightmare in my life."

"Hailee," Theodore admonished her. His male pride seemed to be trampled, but still he was trying to talk to her.

"Do you know? Your life partner is a reflection of your life, so I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up with Aileen. You two are very compatible and complement each other." Hailee then hastily added when she saw Theodore about to interrupt her words. This man must have felt very humiliated, but that's exactly what Hailee wanted. Insulting Theodore until the end. "But can you see how perfect Ramon Tordoff is?"

Hearing that name, Theodore clenched his fists tightly. Who doesn't know Ramon Tordoff? No matter how influential the Gevano family was, they wouldn't be on the same level as Tordoff.

"My husband- to- be is perfect in all aspects and for sure, he doesn't glance at other women like you glanced at me when Aileen was sitting next to you," Hailee said in a whisper, adding dramatic flair to every sentence she hissed.

What Hailee said could also be interpreted as; As a person of great taste, Ramon could not possibly glance at Aileen when he had Hailee by his side and Theodore's judgment was very low on choosing Aileen over Hailee.

"Hailee!" Theodore exclaimed, anger evident on his face.

"Oh, I forgot to say congratulations on your engagement." Hailee smiled very broadly, satisfied that she could make Theodore so upset. "You two really deserve each other. If only you would listen to my words and find out more about Aileen…" Hailee shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "I can only advise you on this, the rest is your choice."

If currently Theodore was still with Aileen even after the warning she gave to this man at the jewelry store the other day, then the only reason was; Theodore paid no heed to Hailee's warning.

Hence, it was pointless for her to speak at length.

"Have a good night." Hailee waved her hand at Theodore, but instead he grabbed Hailee's hand, preventing her from entering her room again.

She didn't know what Theodore wanted now, but Hailee didn't get enough time to figure it out, because right at that moment, a very familiar voice echoed through the corridor.

"What are you doing here?" Ramon walked over with a sharp gaze, fixed on Theodore's hand that was holding Hailee's.

Sensing Ramon's hostile gaze, Theodore immediately let go of Hailee's hand, which made the girl immediately run toward Ramon and in a slightly nervous voice she asked an obvious question.

"Have you finished talking to Uncle Diego?"

Ramon had just finished his chat with Diego and while walking back to the prepared guest room, he heard a piece of Hailee and Theodore's chatter, but did not expect that the man would bravely hold Hailee's hand and force her to stay there when the girl was about to go inside her room.

"Mr. Gevano, what are you doing here? " Ramon asked in a cold tone, while he pulled Hailee closer to him.

"I'm talking to Hailee…" Theodore answered.

"Is it true?" Ramon snorted at that.
