It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 169 - I Will Love It

"Hailee…" Theodore tried to make his voice sound natural and not show his emotions, but that didn't seem to help at all, as it could be very clearly seen that he was feeling uncomfortable with the topic he was going to talk about at the moment.

Meanwhile, Hailee was still wondering why Theodore suddenly suspected Aileen and how his attitude toward her had changed, even though it was only a little, but with their marriage would be in less than a month, it was simply weird.

What's the matter?

And immediately Hailee remembered what Zia said when she was still on Crestgold Island, a few days before when she was honeymooning with Ramon.

Zia informed something that was quite surprising for Hailee and she only remembered it now, because there were many events that happened after that and Hailee almost forgot that she had ever had such a conversation with Zia.

Especially, when Giana came to Crestgold Island and literally ruined her honeymoon with Ramon. There was nothing Hailee could think of, except for her annoyance with her.

Well, that made her forget this matter completely. Ugh! How she could forget such a crucial information like that?

"Aileen is pregnant with your child, right?" Hailee asked in a sharp tone. Her eyes were fixed directly on Theodore's, but the man couldn't quite clearly define the meaning behind her gaze.

Surprise flashed through Theodore's eyes, but then it disappeared as fast as it appeared.

Theodore should have anticipated this. Hailee certainly knew about the news of Aileen's pregnancy, because after all, Zia was there when Aileen admitted that she was pregnant and also during her first examination at the hospital.

Therefore, without having any other choice to say otherwise and even more so, Theodore admitted this. "Yes, Aileen is pregnant," he said clearly.

There was no surprise in Hailee's eyes when he admitted this. Not just shock, there wasn't even anger, resentment, disappointment, neither pleasure.

There was no emotion behind Hailee's two beautiful eyes, as if the big news didn't matter to her at all.

Or it couldbe the truth; news about Aileen's pregnancy was anything but news worthy of a response from Mrs. Tordoff and Hailee made sure that these feelings conveyed well to Theodore.

"Then congrats," Hailee said in a flat tone as she shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "I don't understand why you wanted to investigate Aileen's motives when she was pregnant with your child. But, for whatever reason, I have no interest in knowing."

"Hailee…" Theodore was about to interrupt Hailee's words, but the girl had already raised her hand to stop whatever Theodore was trying to say.

"Listen Theo," Hailee began. "I have absolutely no interest in hearing whatever you want to do. So, I hope this is the last time you will pull me by force like this."

After saying this, Hailee turned and walked away from the place, leaving Theodore alone, standing rooted in his place.

At present, there was only one thing Theodore knew for certain, namely; Hailee had really changed since she married Ramon Tordoff. No, ever since they first met again, Hailee's attitude toward him had changed even more.

It was inconceivable how in the past Hailee had never opposed Theodore's wishes, but now she always looked at him coldly and condescendingly...

Did Hailee think just because she had married Ramon and had become Mrs. Tordoff, she could look at Theodore with the way she was right now? How could she now have such a drastic change? Hailee no longer wanted to talk to him?

Theodore continued to search for a defense in his head without even thinking that he had made a mistake that caused Hailee's current attitude...

After all, which woman would still want to be with a man who was clearly cheating behind her back? With her own sister for that matter?

Theodore should have been smarter to think about the possibility of that reason, yet he was too cocky to come into that conclusion.

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

"Where have you been?" Aileen asked when she saw Theodore walking back into the room with an expression that would make you wonder; what else did you do wrong?

"None of your business," he hissed without even realizing, because his annoyance at Hailee had made him uncomfortable.

Or maybe it should be said that this was his frustration with himself and the situation he had to face.

On the other hand, Theodore's answer was enough to stun Aileen. She had never received such harsh and sharp words from this man before.

If Theodore had been avoiding him all this time, Aileen only thought that this man needed time for himself. Because he was trying to adapt himself to the intricate situation they were in, but Theodore did not use such harsh words so far.

In the midst of Aileen's shock, Theodore seemed to have just realized what he had just done and his hardened expression suddenly turned awry.

The man then walked over to Aileen.

"Sorry," he said in a low voice. "Looks like we have to go home now." He looked around and found neither Hailee nor Ramon, as if they had already left. Not even George was there.

He didn't know why he kept looking for Hailee.

Aileen did not answer Theodore's words and immediately left the room without saying anything. She seemed too upset to be able to express what she wanted or what was on her mind.

What Aileen was afraid of was that she could not hold back her emotions which might make the situation worse, therefore, before she said or did something she would regret, it would be best if she stepped away for a moment.

This was too much!

Theodore became too much to be taken care of!

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

Giana pulled out a document that Aidan had to sign and left it on the table under her husband's unfriendly gaze, who would soon change his status to 'ex- husband'.

"You can go through the documents again and let Dillon know if there really is anything you want to change in the conditions." Giana nodded at the document. "Give it back to me when you have signed it. The contents are roughly the same as what I already told you."

Aidan said nothing, but neither did he intend to touch the document.

"I will go now," Giana said back when she didn't get any response from Aidan. "I hope we can finish this smoothly."

Aidan still gave no reaction. However, just as Giana was about to reach the door, he then started talking.

"Do you regret our marriage?" Aidan asked in a voice that sounded even and emotionless.

When she heard the question, immediately Giana's steps stopped and she turned her body to face Aidan. "Yes."

It was a short, honest answer which left Aidan quite devastated, even though he had actually anticipated it.

"If I didn't have an affair with another woman and our household life was fine, would you still feel sorry for this marriage?" Aidan was not sorry about the decision to divorce, nor did he want to ask Giana to rethink it.

It was just that, Aidan wanted to know what would have happened to the two of them if their circumstances were not the same as they were now.

Would their marriage be successful?

Giana smiled, a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Maybe."

"I am sorry," Aidan said, not because he regretted what happened, but for ruining any possibility between them. Giana was a good woman, but his heart belonged to someone else.

"You don't need to apologize," Giana said coldly and turned around, but she glanced over her shoulder at Aidan as she continued her words. "Because in this marriage, you are not the only one who has an affair."

After dropping the bomb, Giana turned around and left Aidan dumbfounded by the information he just got.

Aidan didn't expect for Giana to be loyal to him, but hearing it directly from the woman's lips turned out to have a different effect on Aidan.

Giana really had an affair...

But with whom?

However, Aidan could think about it later, because for now, there was something else he had to do, which was to contact Zia.

Since this divorce decision had reached the final word, nothing will stand in the way of his desire to be with Zia.

Zia would not be able to give him another reason not to continue their relationship. Wasn't this the main condition of her? And now Aidan could do it. He could give Zia the status she truly desired.

Therefore, without even glancing at the documents on the table again, Aidan immediately got off the sofa and walked out of his office, executing his original plan, which was to meet Zia.

Whether the girl wanted to see him or not, Aidan would still go. After all, Zia had no more reason to avoid him, right?

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

"What are you talking about with Theodore?" Ramon asked casually as they were on their way home from visiting the resting place of Hailee's parents.

This was a question Ramon had wanted to ask for a long time, but he still hesitated to pull it up.

Ramon didn't want to look like a busy body that he wanted to know about Hailee and Theodore's business, even though that was exactly what he wanted.

He was curious about what they were actually talking about in secret. Because after all, Ramon could still see how Theodore was looking at Hailee.

There were streaks of longing and regret there.

That bastard man dared to look at his wife with such a gaze.

"Why?" Hailee turned her gaze to Ramon and found the man twisting his face with an expression that Hailee recognized as annoyance. "Oh, Theodore said he had started investigating Aileen's motives." Hailee shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "He finally listened to my warning and started to suspect Aileen."

"Finally he started to use his brain," Ramon commented sarcastically. "Why did he have to report that to you?" Ramon asked, looking at Hailee intensely.

"I have no idea." Hailee approached Ramon and put her arm around his side so he could rest her head on his chest comfortably. "I don't think their relationship is going well."

"Too bad, they should get along very well with each other," Ramon muttered.

"Right." Hearing that, Hailee laughed softly in response. "You know that Aileen is pregnant?"

"No," Ramon answered. "But I don't think the guy from the Gevano family wants it."

"Right." Hailee nodded. "Zia says Theodore is not very happy with the news of Aileen's pregnancy." Then Hailee looked at Ramon. "Then what will you do if you find out I'm pregnant?"

Ramon's expression softened as he looked at Hailee and kissed her forehead. "Of course I will like it. Only fools will not love their flesh and blood."
