It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 186

Meanwhile, out there, the rain had started to subside, leaving only wet soil and a few puddles here and there, and the evening sun was starting to dim behind the horizon.

Giana then turned her attention toward the main door of the lobby again, ignoring the flickering light on her phone that indicated Dillon's calls and chats that she didn't respond to at all, because right now her main focus was somewhere else.

And finally, after waiting for several hours, the figure that Giana had been waiting for all this time appeared.

From behind the large glass that covered almost half of the lobby, Giana could see the figure of Ramon, followed by Danny, his personal assistant, who was walking quickly on the right, while there were three other people following Ramon on his left.

She couldn't tell what they were talking about, but it seemed like it's just small talk after an important meeting that happened.

Ramon and his small group seemed to stop when they saw the cloudy sky, but since the rain had stopped hours back, it seemed that it didn't take an umbrella for Ramon to get to his car, which was parked not too far away.

Therefore, after saying a few things, Ramon and Danny immediately walked toward the parked car.

Ramon seemed to be waving his hand, rejecting Danny's suggestion that asked him to wait while he drove their car closer.

It was also at that time that the two of them didn't notice when Giana walked over with swift steps, so that she could catch up with the two of them.

"Ramon," Giana called Ramon just as he came near his car, but her advances were stopped by two of Ramon's bodyguards, who apparently followed him from behind and immediately approached Giana when they saw the woman approaching. "Ramon we need to talk," Giana said in a calm tone, letting the two bodyguards hold her there.

There was no use for Giana to fight back, since there was no way she could beat those two big, muscular men and she didn't want to make unnecessary fuss over it.

On the other hand, Ramon stood silently beside his car with Danny, who also didn't know what to do, staring at Ramon and Giana to and fro.

"We need to talk," Giana reiterated her words.

However, after a moment of silence, Ramon turned around and was about to get into the car, saying, "I don't think we have anything more to talk about Mrs. Smith."

"Within a few days, I am no longer Mrs. Smith," Giana said the line very emphatically, gritting her teeth to hold back the emotions that were welling up in her chest. "Soon I will be divorced from Aidan."

However, Ramon didn't seem to have the reaction that Giana wanted, so the woman was determined to rush forward, causing a little commotion there, which stopped Ramon from getting into his car.

"Ramon, we need to talk." Giana repeated the sentence again. "Why? You keep trying to avoid me because you are afraid to recall the memories that we created? Because you are afraid that if you remember it, then you will leave the woman you just married? Are you afraid of damaging your image? Ramon, believe me, you used to be willing to do anything for me."

Those words were enough to provoke Ramon and his curiosity about the past that he had forgotten. Regarding the affair between himself and Giana and the reason why he did all that.

Meanwhile, hearing what Giana said, shocked some of the bodyguards there because they did not think that this woman had that kind of relationship with Ramon Tordoff.

How come? No one had ever seen Ramon with any other women or had a relationship with any of them, let alone Giana Smith, who was known to be Aidan Smith's wife.

How could they both have an affair?

And how could Ramon have that forbidden relationship with this woman? There was a time when Ramon didn't want to be followed by anyone, not even his own personal bodyguard.

It might be said, Ramon Tordoff, used to go out without an escort, but no one suspected this, because they understood that Ramon Tordoff was a man who always wanted to protect his privacy.

Therefore, Giana's confession was enough to leave them stunned, unable to believe it. It's just that, seeing from Giana's status and also how she conveyed all of these things out loud, it seemed like they were all true.

However, of course not one of the six bodyguards there said anything, or made gestures that shouldn't be done. They kept their facial expressions as level as possible, including Danny.

"I know that you don't want to cause a scene here, therefore, we can talk one- on- one wherever you want." Giana saw this as a golden opportunity, as Ramon seemed to be considering what she had to offer. "I will not take much of your time. We only need to talk for a moment and you can ask whatever you want to know. Aren't there lots of questions you couldn't answer because you couldn't remember them?" Giana continued to persuade Ramon.

There was a moment's silence as Ramon didn't say anything or decide what to do with Giana. They just looked at each other, but no one there could read what was really on Ramon Tordoff's mind at this moment.

Until Ramon himself opened his mouth and gestured Danny to step aside, allowing Giana to get into the car.

"Are you serious about this?" Danny asked Ramon in a low voice, making sure that this man had made the right decision by inviting Giana into his car.

However, Ramon looked serious about his decision and Giana did not waste the opportunity she had been waiting for for a long time.

Thus, she walked past the two bodyguards holding her back and smiled at Ramon, before she got into the car. A smile full of triumph.

Giana felt that, even though Ramon lost his memory, the feelings this man had toward her were still the same… Ramon still wanted her.

After Giana got into the car, Ramon followed her in while Danny just stood in place, not knowing what to do, until he remembered that he had to drive the car and immediately got into the car, to sit in the driver's seat.

"Where are we going?" Danny asked Ramon, as the two of them remained silent and still hadn't started any conversation.

It was Giana who answered that question without taking her eyes off Ramon at all. "Anywhere is fine."

However, Ramon had other ideas. "We are not going anywhere," he said lightly. "You can wait outside."

In other words, Ramon would grant Giana's request to speak privately with him, but they would not do it in any expensive restaurant or in a hotel, which would make the possibility of unwanted news appearing, if only they were out of luck and the media caught on a photo of the two of them.

"Well, if that's what you want ..." Giana said in a choked voice. She didn't like this.

============== 

The fashion show was lively, showcasing some of Margaretha's designs that her admirers had been waiting for.

However, after sixteen night gowns and several spring dresses were showcased, there were two evening gown designs that became the spotlight in this fashion show and became the main attention.

Meanwhile, from the main seat row, where Hailee and Lexus sat, the two of them seemed more engaged in chatting about trivial matters that had nothing to do with this event.

It seemed they both were on the same joke frequency, where the littlest things could make them laugh. Of course, they had to hold back the laughter if they didn't want to be in the spotlight, replacing the models who werebusy cat- walking.

"Hey, isn't there a dress you like?" Lexus suddenly asked Hailee, staring at the last two models rotating at the end of the runway, staring straight ahead with sharp eyes.

Hailee then turned her attention again and shook her head. "They are pretty, but I don't think I want them that much. I have a lot of gown that I don't even know exist in walk- in closet."

Hailee remembered her walk- in closet now in Ramon's room, and she firmly believed that more than half of the clothes were not even touched.

"Hey, you don't have to fancy those clothes, but as someone who knows Margaretha Lamos personally, you have to buy her clothes." Lexus said in a patronizing voice.

"I don't know her personally, mom and you guys know her personally." Hailee rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the runway, when the room lights dimmed and two very beautiful models appeared, and simultaneously the music, which was initially upbeat and cheerful, turned softer and more serene.

Hearing Hailee's innocent answer, made Lexus click his tongue. "You are my brother's wife, of course you are part of the Tordoff family, therefore, you should not consider yourself an outsider."

What Lexus said was true and it made Hailee's view of her own status in the Tordoffs even clearer.

At the very least, Lexus's words had just changed Hailee's view of herself, who had always thought she was not one of them.

Maybe, Hailee still felt a little awkward about this.

"It's your job to act and behave like a woman from the Tordoff family," Lexus said in a serious tone, but ended with a mischievous wink in his eyes, making the sentence sound less emphatic, but Hailee caught the meaning behind it well.

"Thank you, I really appreciate what you just said," Hailee said sincerely, nudging Lexus' shoulder with her own.

Lexus laughed at Hailee's words and leaned over to whisper to the girl. "Sometimes we have to waste the money we have, not because we need the things we buy, but because there is a good relationship to be maintained behind it."

Yes, sometimes a good connection and relationship was more important than the value of money, at least for people like Lexus and a few other well- known families.

Hailee nodded in understanding. She got an unexpected lesson from Lexus this time.

"Buy some evening gowns, my brother would love to see you in one of them," Lexus again glanced flirtatiously at Hailee and was greeted with laughter, but then he added. "Maybe, then I'll get to hold a cute nephew sooner."

Lexus' last comment earned him a painful pinch on his waist.

Hailee laughed when she saw Lexus in pain and took out her cellphone to make a video call.

"Who are you calling?" Lexus peeked over Hailee's shoulder and found Ramon's name on it. "Ah! Talking about cute nephews, makes you miss Ramon, right?"

And Lexus' comments this time made Hailee's face turn red.
