It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 206: DAY OFF

Hearing Zia's annoyance made Ian laugh, but this only made the pain on his face increase and he grimaced at that.

"I warned you, but weren't you the one who wanted to see the match earlier?" Ian reminded Zia.

He was actually quite surprised when he saw Zia coming to the arena unannounced, with intentions to watch the show tonight. Because all Ian knew was; although Zia tended to be simpler to say what was on her mind than Hailee and also looked more fierce, but when it came to violence, Zia's heart was too soft to witness any violent scenes.

Very contradictory indeed, considering her background, being the daughter of a military official.

On the other hand, Zia pouted when she heard how Ian reminded her of her stubbornness earlier.

Well, indeed the main goal of forgetting the problem with Aidan had been achieved, but this method seemed too extreme for Zia.

Then, Zia snorted in annoyance and walked over to Ian, who was being treated, before sitting down beside him. "You really live off getting beaten up and beating up other people."

Ian laughed wryly at that. "Not everyone benefits from living the way they want, right?"

"But you can find another job," Zia suggested. "You would probably be happier if you could make money in a more decent way."

Zia didn't pay any attention to her words, because she was only speaking what was on her mind.

"It is quite worthy for me," Ian replied in a low voice. "But then, what brought you here all of a sudden to see me? You can't be missing me this much, can you?"

Ian changed the subject because he didn't want to discuss what was appropriate or not appropriate with Zia.

Earlier, when Zia came, they didn't get a proper chance to talk, so Ian still didn't know about the happy news that came from Hailee.

"Oh, there is no need to be so confident," Zia sneered. "I came here only to tell you some happy news."

"Good news?" Ian raised an eyebrow. "What kind of happy news? Tell me, I am in need of news like that. Lately, all I have been hearing is rubbish news."

Zia laughed. She liked Ian's easy- going attitude and his words that sounded like swearing, because when she was with Aidan, Zia also had to mind her attitude and rarely said or heard harsh words.

"This is news about Hailee," Zia lowered her voice, as if adding tension to her story, but the smile never left her lips.

"Happy news coming from Hailee?" Ian frowned, he then waved his hand to the young man in front of him, who had been silent all this time while cleaning Ian's wounds, indicating for him to leave the two of them alone.

"Yep!" Zia clapped once, looking enthusiastic.

"What good news? Are they divorced?" He asked spontaneously. Of course, this answer of Ian got a hard smack on the shoulder from Zia as well as a painful pinch right above his bruised arm. "You don't have to turn out to be so brutal!" Ian grumbled as he moved away, sitting on the far side of the sofa they were sitting on.

"If it is a divorce, then it wouldn't be any happy news," Zia rebuked Ian, grumbling, but a second later she resumed her sentence in a cheerful tone. "Hailee is pregnant!" She exclaimed.

But, on the other hand, Ian didn't feel the enthusiasm Zia felt at all…

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

Ramon felt there was something strange about him, but didn't understand what made him feel that something was odd.

He looked at his fingers, his body and his feet.

Ramon then looked at his surroundings as well as the objects that were not far from him, and only then did he realize that all of these objects were much taller and bigger than he was used to seeing.

Supposedly, the big flower vase near the entrance was not the same height as him, but why were they now at the same level?

Ramon then walked toward the living room, realizing that this was the same room he had always seen, only that some of the furniture had changed or was out of place.

However, the question that bothered Ramon the most was; where is everyone?

This house was indeed large and only inhabited by him, but there was no way he couldn't see any servants or guards there.

This is very strange…

Where did everyone go...

In the midst of his confusion, without realizing it, Ramon's feet led him to the study downstairs and as he walked down the corridor, he could hear voices.

Like the sound of two people fighting...

Adult male and female voices.

Hearing this, Ramon quickened his footsteps. Who were these two people? And how did they get into his study?

His steps quickened when he heard a muffled screech before something falling and clanging. Looks like this is indeed a fight…

However, before Ramon could enter the room, he passed an adult- sized mirror on the left side of the hallway.

Although Ramon couldn't remember when he put the mirror there, the thing that surprised him the most was his figure.

There, in the reflection of the mirror, stood a five- year- old boy, frowning.

Ramon then looked behind him, thinking that he would see the figure of the boy beside him, but all he got was the fact that the little boy in the mirror's reflection did the same.

It took a few seconds longer for his clever brain to realize that the little boy was him.

But, how could that be?!

It was at that moment that the study door opened. Someone tugged on the door knob so violently that the creaking protest from the hinges was enough to hurt one's ears.

From inside the room, Ramon could see Lis, his mother, holding a child who was no more than a year old.

Of course Ramon recognized who it was; Lexus.

And these memories just came into his mind, like a dam of water had been shattered. Then, memories of this incident rushed into Ramon's brain.

Ramon remembered that this was an event that happened a very long time ago, a memory that was in the back of his head and had been forgotten.

But, how could Ramon remember this again?

This incident was the first fight between his parents that he witnessed directly. At that time, Lexus was less than a year old…

"LIS!" His father's voice called out for his mother's name in anger and soon his figure came out of the room, intending to catch up with his wife who was carrying away their second son.

However, before he could catch up with them, his gaze fell on the figure of a boy who was standing frozen beside the study door.

And the moment their gazes met, Ramon could feel the anger and hatred so real coming from his father's figure, as if his first son had ruined his life.

Ramon was quite surprised by the stare he received, but when he blinked his eyes, everything went black.

Losing his direction and source of light, Ramon tried to move in search of something he could reach.

It was at that moment that Ramon's hand touched hers… something that was so warm and comforting.

And when Ramon opened his eyes again, he could see the figure of Hailee sleeping soundly next to him with her hair covering half of her face.

Ramon didn't even notice as his breath hitched and his body trembled slightly.

Lately, he had been having strange dreams about events that had happened long back, which he had completely forgotten about.

Maybe this was a side effect of the therapy he was undergoing? However, the range of memories that came back was not only in the four years that he forgot due to an accident a few months ago, but could be memories that have been buried for years.

It seemed that Ramon would have to investigate this a bit for a more definitive answer.

But, meanwhile, he needed some time to calm down and the first thing that crossed his mind was to hug Hailee and bury his face in his woman's shoulder. Therefore, that was what he did.

In that instant, the fragrance of the shampoo that Hailee had used mixed with her body's signature scent, was able to make his headache lessen a bit and stop his body from shaking.

Ramon loved this moment, where he felt so close to Hailee, feeling that he was not alone. This was a different form of intimacy and whatever it was, Ramon felt more comfortable with Hailee by his side.

It was stranger, remembering how they met for the first time and how they agreed to this marriage.

But of course, Ramon was careful in hugging Hailee, considering that he had found out she was pregnant only a few hours ago, which meant he would be a father in a matter of few months.

Ramon still couldn't imagine what kind of father he would become, but his unease didn't dampen his enthusiasm in the slightest.

Yes, Ramon liked the idea of ??having a new member in his little family and this strange feeling warmed his heart and his disturbing dreams were long forgotten.

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

Hailee woke up because she felt a tingling feeling on her arm as well as a very familiar warmth.

"Morning..." Hailee said in a sleepy voice while her eyes were still closed shut. She then moved her body so that her head tucked into Ramon's chest as she hugged him tightly.

"Afternoon..." Ramon answered Hailee's greeting, adding a sweet kiss on the woman's forehead. Hailee's long hair tangled between Ramon's fingers and he loved it.

"Afternoon?" Hailee frowned and yawned widely. She felt his body was very sore and stiff. Maybe she slept in the wrong position last night or she slept in one position for a long time…

But, it didn't matter, because as soon as Hailee looked at the clock on her cellphone, her eyes widened. It's almost noon!

"Geez, I slept too long," Hailee said, rubbing her still sleepy eyes. She tried to look fresh, but once again she couldn't hold back the urge to yawn.

Luckily, Hailee didn't have morning sickness at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have woken up this late, but instead, her drowsiness seemed intolerable and her sense of smell had become more sensitive than usual.

"No, you didn't sleep too long," Ramon said as he pulled Hailee back into his arms. "You can sleep some more if you want, but only after you eat something."

Ramon's warm embrace and gentle caress on her back made Hailee unable to resist. But…

"What are you doing? Why are you still here?" Asked Hailee, confused.

"On leave," said Ramon curtly.

Since when did Ramon start taking time off?
