It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 84: PLAYING BEHIND HIS BACK

"I did not think that Central Bank would cooperate with the authorities to weigh up the evidence of Roland Dimatrio's involvement with the mega project in the city of R..." Theodore was enjoying his dinner accompanied by a glass of wine and an appetizing meal. In front of him sat a beautiful woman in a sexy dress, who was none other than Aileen.

Even though it was still early, Theodore decided to spend the whole day with Aileen as they went to choose their engagement ring today.

"Hm," Aileen muttered curtly in response to Theodore's words, even though her mind was elsewhere.

What was on her mind right now was how to ensure that she did not have any involvement with Roland Dimatrio.

It was true that the case involving the district attorney was far different from her illicit business dealings with the middle-aged man, but still, this worried Aileen. If Roland Dimatrio opened his mouth or said anything about her, then...

"Aileen..." called Theodore.

"Oh yes?" Aileen asked a little faltering, because she was caught daydreaming.

"Did you hear my words earlier?" asked Theodore, putting the knife in his hand down and focusing his attention on Aileen.

"Oh, sorry…" Aileen smiled regretfully. She looked very gentle that even if someone said to Theodore that the girl he was going to marry had sold her own sister and committed actions that he himself found unimaginable, he would have a hard time believing them. "What were you saying?"

Theodore sighed, but then smiled understandably. "I asked, how is Hailee? She's getting married next week, but why didn't she come home once and visit her family? Will she just cut ties because she is marrying into the Tordoffs?"

Theodore still didn't understand how Hailee ended up with Ramon Tordoff, even though to his knowledge, the two people live in different cities. He was absolutely sure that during Hailee's relationship with him, this girl had never met Ramon Tordoff in person.

"She called home yesterday," Aileen said, as she sipped her drink, trying to hide the annoyance that crept into her heart. "Hailee said that she was coming over on Saturday with Ramon Tordoff."

Although, Aileen tried to make her words sound casual, if someone listened more carefully, he would feel the bitterness in the way Aileen spoke. Unfortunately, Theodore didn't realize that...

What pissed Aileen the most was the fact that Hailee was going to marry Ramon Tordoff! How could that sloppy kid get a bigshot like Ramon Tordoff?! What did she really do after she slipped from Roland Dimatrio's grasp and nearly killed that man?!

Even Hailee's aim to return home with Ramon Tordoff could only be to provoke Aileen for sure and make her even more furious.

Moreover, the person Hailee had been in with contact was their father's older brother. Diego Tatum. A military officer of high rank.

Although Diego Tatum was the first son, but because the career path he had taken was very different, it could be said that Diego Tatum's name was rarely mentioned.

First, because they were afraid of his demeanour and secondly because Diego Tatum seemed to have separated himself from his family.

However, because the reading of their father's will was postponed, due to Hailee being unable to come, Diego, who happened to be in the city of R, would go home to take care of his younger brother's will.

That was yet another problem that Aileen had to face…

"Oh, yes?" Theodore raised his eyebrows, he then looked like he was in contemplation before muttering. "In that case, its good…"

"Yes… but, I feel like Hailee doesn't like me… she will definitely bring up the problem regarding my relationship with you. And again…" Aileen looked down, playing the pity card she always used to evoke a sense of wanting to protect from Theodore's male ego. "I can't deny that I was the cause of the breakup in your relationship..."

Hearing Aileen's low voice and her expression that looked so sad and guilty, Theodore fell into the same trap with ease once again.

"Hey, our relationship was not good from the start." Theodore then sat on the empty chair next to Aileen and clasped her hands gently to calm this girl down. "I never loved her as much as I love you."

Theodore then put his finger under Aileen's chin and coaxed her into looking at him.

"But…" Aileen's eyes were cloudy, with tears welling up on her lids.

"No buts. I choose you Aileen. " Theodore then leaned over to kiss the girl's tiny nose briefly. "Hailee is about to marry Ramon Tordoff, after all, she definitely won't make a fuss about this again."

Aileen then rested her head on Theodore's shoulder. "But, I still don't understand how Hailee got to know Ramon Tordoff? Even though I firmly believe that the two of them are never in the same scope."

Apart from being good at pretending, one of the things Aileen good at was leading other people's opinions about something very subtly.

"Or maybe the two of them had been in touch even when Hailee was with you?" Then Aileen shook her head in confusion. "No, I know Hailee, she can't possibly cheated on you..." she muttered.

However, with Aileen leaning on Theodore's shoulder, naturally the man could hear her clearly.

Hearing Aileen's words just now made Theodore think about it again.

Right…

Is it possible that Hailee betrayed him first? And here is Theodore, feeling guilty about being in a relationship with Aileen.

If it was true that Hailee had cheated behind his back ...

What a cunning girl.

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

Hailee was about to try on her second dress when Lis invited her to lunch first, but when Hailee had changed and was about to come out, she felt a vibration in her pocket.

While standing in front of the white dress she wore earlier, Hailee picked up a phone call from Ramon.

"Hello?" said Hailee.

"Where are you?" asked Ramon, without replying to Hailee's 'hello'.

"I told you that today I will try my wedding dress at Margaretha Lamos' place," Hailee replied, while tracing the white dress in front of her with a pensive face.

"In which boutique?" Ramon asked again, asking for details because Margaretha Lamos had many boutiques in town A.

Although confused, Hailee then gave the address. "Why? You wanna come? Come quickly, I've only tried one dress, maybe if you come now you can still see me wearing my wedding dress."

"I have a meeting," Ramon said simply.

"Sigh! Then why do you ask the address of this place if you don't want to come?"
