It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!-Chapter 44 - CONFRONTATION

Aileen was in her apartment, watching the man beside her who was fast asleep, under the fading light of the almost sunset evening, shining through the window on her left.

It had been two days since she heard anything about Hailee, not even those of Roland Dimatrio's men could get close to the heavily guarded Tordoff's residence.

Not to mention the fact that Ramon Tordoff rejected every attempt to speak to her. Not only Ramon, but Lis and Lexus Tordoff were also inaccessible.

The last news Aileen got was that Hailee was with the Tordoffs and was under their watchful eye.

The questions that bothered Aileen the most were; how could Hailee get to know the Tordoffs? Even their parents could not easily gain access to their family, let alone live with them.

And Hailee was completely out of reach when Ramon was back home and on outpatient care, while Hailee was with them.

Just knowing the closeness of Hailee and the Tordoffs made Aileen furious.

Theodore stirred in his sleep and pulled Aileen closer to embrace her, muttering something as soon as he felt Aileen in his arms.

Aileen smiled and kissed the man's lips, making Theodore smile and fall back asleep.

During this time, Theodore did not know anything about what Aileen had done to Hailee, in fact, he too thought the same just as people out there thought that Hailee's absence was because she was studying abroad, Theodore did not know about the incident inside the hotel.

And now that his engagement with Hailee had ended, he could directly announce his relationship with Aileen and freely hold her in public.

While Theodore was sleeping, Aileen felt her cell phone vibrate and knew that it was a notification of an incoming message.

Cautious, so as not to wake Theodore up again, Aileen reached for her cell phone and opened the message.

The message was very brief and contained words that seemed to be typed in a hurry.

[Check the news now.]

Seeing the name of the sender, Aileen frowned. What was so urgent about that matter that he sent a message like this?

Then with curiosity, Aileen entered the search box and began to look for what news made this man send her a text message.

And words could not describe how surprised Aileen was, when she found a long article containing the wedding plans of a young businessman from city A, he was none other than Ramon Tordoff!

And not only that, the partner the bachelor would marry was Hailee!

Aileen couldn't possibly mistake someone for her step sister, because of the three photos released, all of them showed her younger sister's face very clearly.

"What is this?!" exclaimed Aileen in a choked voice. Her exclaim then woke Theodore who immediately looked at the woman beside him with a sleepy gaze. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

"What is wrong?" he asked hoarsely. However, because Aileen did not seem to hear his question, or more precisely she didn't even realized that she had awakened Theodore, thus she did not answer him at all. "What are you looking at?"

Theodore also squinted at the cellphone screen that Aileen was looking at and there he caught sight of the figure of his ex-fiancé in the photo.

"Hailee?" he said with a confused face, especially when he saw the figure of another man sitting closely beside her, who was familiar to a businessman like himself. "What did Hailee got to do with Ramon Tordoff?" he asked.

This time, Aileen came back to her senses and looked at Theodore who had seen what she had been reading and hurriedly turned off the screen of her cellphone.

But of course it was too late and she had to explain this to Theodore.

"Didn't you say that Hailee was abroad to continue her education?" asked Theodore, who felt his sleepiness disappear at once. "Then how come she is going to marry Ramon Tordoff very soon?"

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

Hailee was so annoyed at what Ramon had done that she didn't even want to talk to him.

Hailee didn't want to talk to Ramon in a state of anger and frantic thoughts, she was afraid that she would make a decision that she would regret later.

Therefore, throughout the trip, Hailee said nothing to Ramon. She even ignored the calls from Lis and Lexus, because they too were as surprised as she was, by the sudden announcement made by Ramon this afternoon.

When the car stopped, Hailee immediately got out of the car, left Ramon and ran into the house with a facial expression that was very unpleasant to look at.

In fact, when Lexus tried to greet her as he was waiting for them, Hailee just shook her head and gave signal for Lexus to ask Ramon himself.

"What the heck?" asked Lexus with a worried expression. "What about the two of you and what do you mean by the press conference this afternoon? You freaked me out. You didn't even tell me anything… "

However, Ramon had raised his hand, gesturing for Lexus to stop talking about this, while Ramon's attention was on the second floor, where Hailee had entered the room.

But, strangely… because the door to Hailee's room that Ramon had broken this afternoon, how could he still hear the sound of the door closing?

So, it was certain that Hailee entered his room and not her own room, because there were only two rooms on the second floor.

"This girl…" grumbled Ramon, who immediately headed upstairs, leaving Lexus confused.

"Hey! Can't I be told what the hell is all this!?" exclaimed Lexus from downstairs. Feeling frustrated that Lis kept calling to find out about Ramon and Hailee.

When those two were the people who made trouble, why am I the one in trouble?! Lexus mocked to himself.

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

"You have to help me get out of this house right away!" Hailee hissed hastily when she managed to reach Ian.

"Lee, I saw the news this afternoon, what really happened?!" asked Ian in an equally hasty tone. "I thought you said this marriage would be kept a secret if there really was going to be a marriage between you, right?"

Hailee shook her head vigorously and let out a long sigh. "I don't know what's on that guy's mind ... but, I feel that he already knows my identity ..."Hailee said timidly.

Then Ian fell silent, not giving any response until he returned to his calm voice. "But, if he already knew your identity, why didn't he confront you directly?" asked a confused Ian.

"I don't know," Hailee replied. "This is just a guess of mine."
