It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 88

Hailee didn't know how long Ramon had kissed her. However, when the man finally ended it, Hailee could still feel the softness on her lips. Her heart was beating so fast that it made her knees go weak.

Luckily, Ramon hugged her waist.

Ugh!

It would be so embarrassing if she actually fell over a kiss.

Hailee was only coming back to her own senses when she heard Lis clearing her throat and breaking the fantasy bubble that had led to Hailee's wild thoughts and returning her to reality.

"Okay, I can see that you like that dress," Margaretha said, smiling meaningfully at Hailee who was looking down, trying not to look anyone in the eye.

If possible, Hailee wanted to hide behind Ramon's broad back.

"I think Mr. Tordoff liked his future bride more," one of Margaretha's assistants who had witnessed the scene, spoke and smiled meaningfully at Hailee, which turned the latter's face red.

"I know I'm beautiful, but you don't need to kiss me in front of them," Hailee hissed at Ramon in a low voice, so that only the two of them could hear her, of course accompanied by a sweet smile on her lips, so that those who saw it would not be suspicious.

Ramon smiled back at Hailee and said in the same low voice. "I told you no, at least we have to act like this in front of them, so they will continue believing that we have been in a relationship for two years. Your bad acting can make them suspicious."

"What?" Hailee was annoyed at his words.

What 'make them suspicious'? Nobody is suspicious about their relationship, okay? Not even Lis. The excuses Ramon making were completely absurd!

"Smile," Ramon said as he ran his hand through Hailee's slightly messy hair, making Margaretha's two assistants feel hesitant to approach, because they both looked so affectionate.

"I can't, you're simply annoying," Hailee grumbled, but in the end she smiled too, even though she said the opposite.

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

It was still afternoon when they walked out of Margaretha's boutique, but since Liz still had some business at the office, whether that's true or not, she asked Ramon to drive Hailee home.

"No, no. I can just go home alone," Hailee said, feeling bad that she had to trouble Ramon. Especially after 'that kissing' incident, it would be awkward if they were alone.

Granted, Hailee had been teasing Ramon a lot lately, but it was because this man often chose not to react, which made she felt safe.

But after what happened, Hailee wasn't sure she would tease him for the next few days.

However, before Liz could persuade or Hailee could refuse any further, Ramon had already grabbed the girl's hand and opened the car door.

"I'll take her home after visiting a place," Ramon said softly to his mother, ignoring Hailee's questioning gaze and instead placing his hand on Hailee's head, as a gesture for the girl to get into the car.

"Oh, alright," Lis said with a smile, pleased to see her cold son taking the initiative to invite Hailee to go somewhere.

Lis didn't even ask where they were going, the woman immediately got into her car and drove away.

And as soon as Ramon got into the car, Hailee burst out with questions.

"Where are we going?" Hailee asked, feeling a little excited that Ramon was going to take her somewhere.

"To town T district 3," Ramon told their driver, closing the car door.

"City T? What are we going there for? Do you have business there?" Hailee asked curiously. "If you do have business, it's okay for me to go home alone."

Hailee didn't want to join the meeting Ramon was attending and listen to some chatter that she didn't understand.

"We're going to the Blue Sea," Ramon replied, he then leaned his head on the back of the seat and massaged his forehead which was a little sore.

"Blue Sea?" Hailee felt that the name was very familiar. "Blue Sea, you mean one of the Tatum branches?"

Hailee may not be too interested in the company's business, but of course she knew all those Tatum family's jewelry store branches in several cities.

"Hmm," Ramon muttered, confirming her guess.

"No way," Hailee said in disbelief. "What are we going there for. I don't want to go there." She outrightly rejected the idea.

"Of course to find a wedding ring," Ramon replied with a frown, his hand still on his temple.

"But I don't want to go there…" Hailee started complaining, she didn't want to be in town T, let alone have to be at a jewelry store branch of her family's company. It felt very strange and uncomfortable. "We can go find other jewelry stores, after all, the city of T is quite far from here."

Ramon glanced at Hailee and could clearly see the girl's reluctance. "Since I'm going to take over your company, it's only natural for me to see how that company is performing," Ramon argued.

Even though Hailee couldn't say that Ramon's reasoning was real, but she also couldn't say that this man was lying.

"You're only thinking about profits," Hailee grumbled.

"I don't want to fall into poverty," Ramon replied indifferently.

Hearing that answer, Hailee had to turn her head quickly and look at the man who had now closed his eyes, in disbelief.

Who the hell is poor?! Even if he didn't work anymore, Hailee was sure that with his wealth now, his family could live in luxury up to seven generations!

However, knowing Ramon's nature, Hailee could only exhale slowly. This man did tend to speak casually and far from what he really meant.

Whatever it was, Hailee chose to comply with him.

"What happened to you?" Seeing Ramon continuing to massage his temples, make Hailee worried. Was she so troublesome that it gave this man a headache?

However, Ramon chose not to answer, therefore Hailee took the initiative to slowly pull his face toward her.

"What are you doing?" Ramon immediately opened his eyes and felt the girl's cold hands resting on either side of his face.

"Come here." Hailee then patted her thigh. "Lie down here. The trip to town T will take a while."

Ramon looked at Hailee suspiciously.

"I won't bite, so take it easy," Hailee was irritated.

Hesitantly, Ramon rested his head on Hailee's lap and the girl's fingers began to massage his head, not too strong, but enough to make him feel good.

"Get some sleep, you will feel better after resting."

"Hmm."

And Ramon closed his eyes.
