It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 358: GLAD YOU ARE HERE

Lexus finally took Candice to a restaurant he frequented, which was very far from her own home address, which Candice finally told him.

Lexus did purposely make the girl angry, even though he promised not to do it often because as soon as Candice knew where they were going, she blabbered nonstop and wouldn't give him a break, even until they got to this restaurant and ordered food.

Lexus even admired how Candice could speak quickly in a low voice like a hiss so the people around them wouldn't hear.

"Are you crazy? You brought me to this place?" Candice asked in her low, fierce tone. "What if a reporter comes and takes a photo of the two of us together again? That would be a big problem!" she grumbled.

She couldn't help but pinch Lexus' arm whenever the man didn't give a response to her rhetorical questions.

After all, how should Lexus answer such questions? Candice left him no choice but the answer she wanted to hear and otherwise one more pinch would land on Lexus' arm.

As it turned out, this sweet girl was a bit brutal and rude…

"Today I'm not drunk and there are several bodyguards who will be on guard, don't worry, they are quite experienced in dealing with news hunters," Lexus replied.

Candice was about to say something, but a waitress came with their food, so she restrained herself and fell silent. Soon the waiter put down all the food and left.

They didn't come to any expensive five-star restaurant. This was just a simple diner that sold fresh seafood, caught directly from the sea.

While on their left side was the sea with soothing waves crashing, which accompanied the two of them having dinner.

Actually, if only Lexus didn't act as annoying as this, Candice would really enjoy having dinner at a place like this. It was a shame that Lexus' presence only spoiled her mood further.

"Whatever you say, they'll write that we're on a date over dinner," Candice hissed again, leaning over to Lexus, but then she smelled the appetizing aroma of grilled crab and sighed for a moment. Her stomach growled, she was hungry too.

"See, you're hungry, right?" said Lexus with a grin when he heard the 'call'. "Eat this. It's the best here in my opinion." Lexus then peeled the shrimp and put the meat into Candice's bowl.

Of course the girl didn't refuse, but she didn't stop grumbling either.

"Hmm? Isn't that Aileen?" Candice was just about to put the prawn meat that had been peeled by Lexus into her mouth when she saw someone very familiar to her on the large television screen behind Lexus. "Yes, it is Aileen! Oh my god…"

Candice was not very close to the Tatum family, but of course she knew the Tatum sisters, maybe because of her initial dream to become a jewelry designer, she became a little jealous of the two sisters who own a diamond company that was quite famous in their city.

"Yes, it's Aileen! How could she…" Candice trailed off and covered her mouth, but one could still hear her disbelieving mumble. "How can she be like that?"

Curiosity then prompted Lexus to turn his head, see what Candice had actually witnessed that left her so surprised.

However, once Lexus saw what had caught Candice's attention, he couldn't help but be surprised too, because on the screen, in the midst of the crowd, he could see Aileen, who was being hauled into the police car wearing an oversized police jacket that was only able to cover her up to half of her thighs.

They didn't know what happened to Aileen, but she didn't seem aware that she was in such a critical condition, because the woman still had time to laugh and point at the camera that was documenting the incident with a smirk on her lips.

Aileen looked drunk, but it was more like she was on a 'high'… she was hopelessly oblivious to her surroundings…

And the question still remained; why was she wearing a police jacket to cover her body? Not a moment later, as if answering Lexus and Candice's unspoken question, in the news headlines, they could read that Aileen Tatum was walking around the city center wearing only her bra and panties.

"Oh, my God…" Lexus muttered, looking nervously for his cell phone. He had to call his sister-in-law. This is crazy… "What has Hailee done…? This couldn't have been her idea, could it?"

Candice who heard that frowned. What did Hailee have to do with Aileen's embarrassing situation? But then, she kept quiet and started to eavesdrop on the conversation between Lexus and Hailee.

When Lexus called after seeing the news that was being reported in the media, Hailee was almost home. She was still in the car heading to the Tordoff residence.

"Hailee, was that all your handiwork?" asked Lexus in a demanding tone. He wasn't going to let Hailee go until he got the full news. "You did all that?"

"Did what?" Hailee still didn't understand what Lexus meant, her brows furrowed when suddenly bombarded with questions.

"Don't tell me you don't know, the news has been on television and online." While talking to Hailee, Lexus also checked online news sites with Candice's cell phone.

"What?" Hailee was annoyed at not understanding her brother-in-law.

"Aileen," Lexus finally said impatiently.

"Oh." And that was all Hailee's response, as if it didn't come as a surprise to her.

"Don't 'oh' me," Lexus grumbled irritably. "That's you, isn't it? Did you do it? Geez!" Lexus closed his eyes when they telecasted a photo that was completely indecent, showing an almost naked Aileen, who was only wearing her underwear.

Hailee did that on purpose to Aileen. Embarrassing her in public and not just in front of one whole community was a very severe punishment for her adopted sister.

Aileen, who always wanted to appear superior, prettier, smarter and more perfect in front of people, now couldn't look at them or meet eyes with anyone because of this shameful incident.

Anyone would remember this incident and digital records would be very difficult to erase. You could say it was almost impossible to erase a digital track record.

"You're the one behind this, right? I didn't think you could come up with an idea like this…" Lexus was still speaking in disbelief, while Candice pulled her chair over to sit next to Lexus so she could hear their conversation more clearly. "How did you come up with such an idea?"

"Why did you immediately guess that it was me? It could have been Ramon's idea and I just carried on with it," Hailee argued when Lexus urged her.

"No, Ramon would not commit such an immoral act," said Lexus. But, then he was silent for a moment. No. Ramon could do something like that, too. Lexus remembered what transpired with Axcel Dimatrio and how his older brother threatened the man with his perverted videos. Ugh!

As it turned out, your life partner would indeed be a reflection of you and Hailee had really been influenced by Ramon's bad qualities.

"You're saying I'm immoral?" Hailee's voice turned cold as she said that.

And Lexus hastily denied it. "No, of course not." Lexus then raised his thumb, as if Hailee could see it. "You're so brilliant."

Meanwhile, Candice rolled her eyes.

"But, my dear sister-in-law, after I saw what you did, if you have a problem with me, tell me directly, okay? Don't set me up like this. You two are terrible," said Lexus.

Hearing that, Hailee laughed happily. Talking to Lexus could always lift her mood, although sometimes her brother-in-law could be annoying.

"Where are you? Have you had dinner?" asked Hailee, the car driven by Pyro had just entered the premises of the Tordoff residence.

"Oh, I was having dinner…" but, then Lexus got another pinch from Candice, who shook her head really hard. "By myself."

"It's pathetic," Hailee reproached.

After saying a few words, the call finally ended with Lexus promising to collect the full story tomorrow morning when they had breakfast.

"Why don't you want to talk to Hailee? Isn't she your friend?" asked Lexus in confusion.

"She'll think we're dating," Candice said.

"What's wrong with that?" And for an answer, Lexus got one more pinch on his arm.

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

When Hailee's car arrived, she saw Ramon waiting for her on the terrace wearing a homely outfit that looked very comfortable.

Without thinking, Hailee immediately ran into her husband's arms, impatient to hear Ramon's day or tell him what had happened on her end.

"You hungry?" asked Ramon.

"I'm starving," Hailee replied as she rubbed her flat stomach, although as she did so, she could feel the pain in her heart, which she tried to push away, not wanting to spoil the moment.

"I've asked Martha to cook your favorite food," Ramon said softly as he kissed the top of Hailee's head.

However, when his eyes landed on Pyro, Ramon tensed his jaw, his sharp and cold eyes stared at Pyro and made the bodyguard stand uncomfortably in his place.

"Good evening, Mr. Tordoff," said Pyro awkwardly. He had a feeling that if Ramon was holding a gun, then he would shoot him straight away, continuing what he had stopped doing the other day.

As expected, Ramon didn't reply to his greeting.

Seeing this situation, Hailee scowled and pulled Ramon's face to look at her. "He works for me now."

"I dont not recommend him," replied Ramon.

Hailee rolled her eyes dramatically when she got that answer and immediately grabbed Ramon's hand. "I am hungry."

Meanwhile, David nudged Pyro's shoulder. "Glad you're here again."
