It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 29

During the trip, Hailee was mostly silent, thinking about the course of action she should take next and what to say as she had to explain her lies in front of the members of the Tordoff family.

Hailee glanced next to her, where Lis was receiving a call regarding an important business and looked very stern, but at the same time elegant in every word she chooses.

Ugh!

People who were good at controlling emotions like her were, in fact, much more terrifying than those who scream out of rage.

Hailee began to wonder what these Tordoffs would do to her if they were to find out the truth behind Hailee's lie.

"Alright, prepare everything… hmm, there's no need for all that commotion…" Lis continued to say to someone on the phone, it seemed like this was the person who will take care of all the preparations for Hailee's wedding which will take place in less than two weeks.

Hailee sighed heavily. Why did Ramon have to rush the marriage? The man should have found a way to recover his lost memory first.

But, if Ramon managed to get his memory back, then what about Hailee?

"Ugh!" Hailee snorted in annoyance, because the more she thought about this, the more she felt that her way out of all this was deadlocked. As if whatever decision she would make later, it would not have much effect on her life and instead made her entangled deeper in this vortex of lies.

"What's wrong, Hailee?" Lis immediately ended her phone call when she saw that upset look on Hailee's face. She already noticed how this girl had been sighing continuously the whole way. "Sorry, mom was a little busy so I ignored you."Lis thought that was the reason why Hailee was wrinkling her face in such a way, although she wasn't sure that this girl would show such obvious dislike for a trivial matter.

Hearing Liz's narrative, Hailee hurriedly raised her hands and waved them frantically. "No, that's not the problem ma'am ..."

How could Hailee dare to protest against Lis for ignoring her, even if this woman was willing to ignore her all day long, Hailee wouldn't utter a single word of protest. Sigh ...

"Then why do you look like you have a big problem?" Lis observed the faint wrinkle between Hailee's brows.

Oops. Was it obvious?

"It looks very clear here," Lis said as she stretched out her hand and gently rubbed the part between her eyebrows.

Can this woman read my mind? Hailee started thinking nonsense.

"Now tell me, what's bothering you?" asked Lis again.

Oh, apparently not… Hailee thought more calmly. The past few days had really stressed her a little bit that her mind went on a tour thinking the impossible, especially when she saw this morning's news about Roland Dimatrio.

"It's okay mother…" Hailee replied in a low voice, in the end she still couldn't afford to be honest with Lis.

On the other hand, Lis could see that Hailee was covering up something, but she didn't want to force this girl and make it even more uncomfortable for her, so she let this matter go and changed the subject.

"The boutique we will be visiting later belongs to my old friend when I was in college and now he is one of the best fashion designers in this country and even his work has been known in several countries, you must have heard his name," Lis said while looking at Hailee gently. "Margaretha Lamos."

Lis laughed softly when she saw Hailee's face, who was innocently surprised. She was completely different from girls her age. Perhaps it was for this reason that Ramon also chose this girl.

Ah, if only Lis wasn't stubborn and let Ramon take Hailee home, then introduced the two of them, surely that terrible accident would not have happened.

However, Lis didn't want to think about what happened and regret it for a long time again. The most important thing now was; their marriage.

Because Ramon didn't want this wedding to become public knowledge, therefore, they couldn't have a massive party, but that didn't mean the wedding won't be a memorable moment for both of them ...

"The Diva?!"Hailee's voice caught in her throat and her eyes widened in disbelief.

There's no way a bridal fashion designer like Margaretha Lamos will be her wedding dress designer?!

No way! Right?!

Hailee looked at Lis, and she immediately got the answer just like that… of course it's possible.

It should be noted, that in order to customize a wedding dress from the Diva's design, not only do people have to have abundant assets and high social status, but they also have to be on the waiting list, which, according to what Hailee heard, could easily take several months.

Therefore, Margaretha Lamos got this nickname; the Diva.

"But, is it possible? Mine and Ramon's wedding will be held in less than two weeks, but what I heard, the waiting list for the Diva…" Hailee trailed off speaking as she winced a little when she said 'mine and Ramon's wedding', it sounded so foreign to her ears.

"Of course she will make an exception just for me." Lis said calmly and chuckled at Hailee's worried expression. "Nothing to worry about…"

Precisely because of that Hailee became even more worried. The more she received, the harder it would be for Hailee to tell them the truth. Ugh! It's like a moral burden.

Afterward, the next half hour journey was filled with small talk until they arrived at the office where Margaretha Lamos was.

It was an eight-storey building and had a unique vibe, predominantly flourished with white and the scent of lilies that greeted Hailee on her first step in to the lobby.

Right after entering the building, Lis's cellphone rang again and she had to pick it up, since not many people knew this number, therefore, whoever called her, it was certain that this was an important matter.

"Hailee, I'll pick up the phone first," Lis said to Hailee who nodded understandingly, as Lis had to find a quieter place because the music was a little louder in the lobby.

Left alone, Hailee chose to sit on the sofa while waiting for Lis's arrival. She was looking at fashion magazines when someone spoke rudely above her head.

"Stand now, I want to sit there," said a female voice that sounded irritated.

Hailee lifted her head to find a young woman with sunglasses covering her tiny face standing tall and tapping her feet impatiently.

"No," Hailee replied curtly.
