It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!
Chapter 181: DONT WORRY, I HAVE ARRANGED EVERYTHING
Chapter 181: DON'T WORRY, I HAVE ARRANGED EVERYTHING
Aileen fell to the floor on her knees and started sobbing pitifully, which left Theodore who saw her flabbergasted, unable to understand what exactly Aileen was doing right now.
Was this another trick that this snake woman trying to trick him with? But, Aileen's tears were real and now she looked like a woman who was helpless and in need of someone's protection.
Once again, Theodore's male ego was tested. He liked the feeling of being needed, wanted. Therefore, when he saw how Aileen looked so weak and hopeless, his heart wavered.
With a frown between his forehead and a hesitant gesture, Theodore knelt beside Aileen and stared at the woman, waiting for her sobs to subside, without doing anything.
It was hard for him to continue venting his anger in Aileen's present condition. How could he have an outburst at a woman, who was crying vehemently?
It took up to half an hour before Aileen's crying to completely subside and for her to get back in to a state of being able to communicate again. And all that time, Theodore was silent and said nothing, with his eyes fixed on her.
"Theodore ..." Aileen called out his name softly with her hoarse voice and stared at the man with eyes, which looked like an injured deer's, making anyone who saw her now want to protect her.
The same thing happened with Theodore. This was an old trick after all and still worked.
The side of him that used to want to protect Aileen and also the feelings he had for her, that made him have the heart to turn away from Hailee, were now back again.
"What happened?" His voice was soft, although his body was still in the same place, as if it was unable to move an inch from there and his feet were rooted to the spot.
Without wasting any more time and waiting for Theodore to change his mind, Aileen immediately threw herself at the man and hugged him tightly, then started crying again, leaving Theodore unable to do anything but calm her down by gently rubbing Aileen's back.
"You misunderstood me..." Aileen began to say in a much more trembling voice, biting her lip and burying her face into Theodore's shoulder. "You misunderstood me, I am not like that ..."
"What do you mean by I have misunderstood?" Theodore furrowed his brows in confusion. However, his attitude had turned much better than it had been in the past few days and this of course made Aileen happy, when she realized that she still had this effect on Theodore.
Who would have thought that after how Theodore had treated her for these past few days and how their relationship was going, but it turned out that Aileen was still able to have the same effect on him.
Then Aileen's tears intensified when she realized she was above the clouds. This was her only chance to turn things around.
"Theo, I was framed ..." Aileen sobbed as Theodore returned to question the same thing with a trace of worry in his tone.
"What do you mean?" Theodore couldn't see the expression on Aileen's face right now, because she turned her back to him, but from the way her body was shaking, he could tell that this woman was still crying.
Then, a story flowed smoothly from Aileen's lips, as if every word she spat was true and she wasn't making anything up.
The people out there would no doubt be amazed by how Aileen could fabricate a story like this and leave everyone who heard her believing that what she was telling was true.
==============
Aidan was having dinner with Zia, in the hotel room where they used to meet, but the atmosphere between them felt so strange and unusual.
Maybe, this happened because Aidan was fighting with Giana and the atmosphere in his house was not very conducive so this was also affecting his mood, or maybe this was because Zia suddenly became quiet and didn't bring out any interesting conversation topics, as she usually did.
Zia seemed more interested in the food in front of her than in having a lively conversation with the man she had been dating for years in wrong relationship.
Somehow, the atmosphere turned into this and the air felt heavier.
"How is your problem with Giana?" Finally, Zia opened her voice and questioned the continuation of the problem between Aidan and Giana.
Not because Zia really wanted to know about this matter, but because she was starting to feel uneasy about the silence that lay between them.
Meanwhile, Aidan, who was just about to take his food, stopped. The spoon hung in the mid air, before he put it back down and answered Zia's question.
"Giana left the house two days ago," Aidan told Zia in an toneless voice, though his heart still roared with exasperation every time he remembered that.
How come? Someone who Aidan told to follow Giana, reported to him that the woman, who was still his wife had spent the last two nights living in the place of her personal assistant, Dillon!
What personal assistant and old friend!? Giana should be able to maintain her attitude more, because even now she was still the legal wife of Aidan Smith.
Her behavior was only getting worse and worse and now she had the audacity to leave in another man's house?! What kind of joke she was playing now?!
It is just that Aidan couldn't reprimand Giana on this one matter, because after all, he didn't have the right to reprimand Giana when he himself had spent hundreds of nights living with Zia.
All of these matters just seemed more and more complicated as time went by.
"Left the house?" Zia frowned and asked with a serious expression. Well, Aidan's answer was enough to pique her interest in discussing this topic.
"Yes, she said that she no longer cares if the media finds out about this and thinks that sooner or later, this will all happen, so there is no point in covering it up," Aidan explained with a gloomy and displeased expression on his face, for whatever might happen in the future.
On the other hand, hearing Aidan's answer, Zia frowned deeply and then voiced her opinion, "Isn't what Giana said has a point too?" Zia looked at Aidan questioningly. "The news of your divorce will get big sooner or later, so it is all just a matter of time."
Aidan, who heard this, only glanced at Zia before he continued his delayed meal.
"Indeed," he replied dryly. "But, before things can get any bigger than this, there are a few things I have to do first before the company's stock actually drops sharply and drastically. At least, I have to prepare some countermeasures if this divorce has such an impact. And if Giana speeds up the news spread in the media, then my plan will not work out well." He was still thinking as a businessman.
Aidan had his own considerations regarding this matter and Giana should have had the same thoughts as him, because instead of going out of the house, wouldn't it be better to spend some time thinking about how to save the value of their respective companies' shares?
Not to mention the distribution of assets that they have to settle and agree on.
It seemed, indeed, neither of them wanted to endure this married life for even one more day. Somehow they had survived the past three years...? it was like a miracle.
"Hm…" Zia didn't really respond to that statement and just muttered. According to her, the problem of company shares or whatever that becomes a consequence when they divorced afterward was the decision of both of them and Zia had no part in it, nor did she want to be involved in any decisions that ensued afterward.
It was a business of both of them and of both the Dawson and Smith families, because now the problem that filled her head even more was the fact that she was still bothered by the fact that Aidan's unexpected encounter with Aileen. A one night stand that left Zia unable to forget about it.
It bothered her to the point where she felt uncomfortable when they had their intimate moment...
"… Zia," called Aidan, waving his hand in front of the girl's face. "What are you thinking?"
Aidan then put away his dinner plate and leaned toward Zia, because since the beginning of their conversation, she seemed unfocused and easily distracted.
For a moment Zia hesitated about how she felt, until she looked at Aidan with a questioning look, only to shook her head in the end. "Nothing," Zia said in a low voice.
However, Aidan caught the deeper meaning of Zia's 'nothing'.
Aidan then stretched out his hand and grasped Zia's cold hand. "Something's bothering you, now, tell me what it is..."
Zia didn't really want to say it out loud, but from the way Aidan looked at her so intensely, she finally gave up and sighed heavily.
"The fact that you and Aileen have spent a night together really bothers me," Zia said at the end of her sigh. She then stared back at Aidan with the same intensity. "I don't like the fact that you have been involved in something with Aileen."
This time Aidan looked away from Zia and stared at a certain spot in the room, such as their messy bed.
"I didn't mean to spend time with your cousin either," Aidan said.
However, before he could explain further, Zia cut him off mid- sentence.
