It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 20: IT CAN\'T BE

Perhaps out of all this chaos and the amnesia that Ramon was experiencing, one of the good things that happened was that he forgot about the absurd relationship between himself and Giana. If indeed he did have an affair with the wife of Aidan Smith, then he could declare himself as a mentally retarded person.

Even now, Ramon couldn\'t think how he could possibly have such a relationship? And what is even more unlikely was their relationship which had been going on for two years without anyone knowing.

And again, according to his last memory, Ramon didn\'t even know Giana four years ago. That implied, they just met in the last few years and are already involved in a relationship.

Ramon knew that he was an ambitious person. He would try to get what he wanted, but that didn\'t mean snatching other people\'s wives was what he would justify. Ramon couldn\'t make sense of the logic behind his actions this time.

"There\'s no need to discuss the Giana case again," said Ramon, then his expression became serious again. "How about the new project?"

Afterward, Ramon spent approximately three hours discussing issues that had nothing to do with Giana or Hailee until sunset and he missed the lunch call.

***

Tok.Tok.Tok.

Hailee forcefully knocked on Ramon\'s door. She didn\'t really want to bother Ramon, or rather, she didn\'t want to be with Ramon. If possible, Hailee wanted to get as far away from this house, but it seemed that was just her wishful thinking.

Even today, Hailee still did not take seriously the problem of her and Ramon\'s marriage which will take place in two weeks.

The plan sounded absurd and crazy to her ears.

However, Hailee couldn\'t avoid Ramon, not if she had to receive calls and messages from Liz who kept asking about Ramon\'s condition.

Hailee couldn\'t keep saying that Ramon was still working and had missed his lunch. Of course Hailee\'s presence there was expected to keep an eye on Ramon. Making sure the man was eating on time and getting enough rest since he had just been discharged from the hospital.

"Is he a child who should always be reminded?" Hailee grumbled, knocking on Ramon\'s door again.

Because Lis was constantly asking this, of course, Hailee herself had to check on Ramon\'s condition, or else the middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful would feel disappointed in her and see Hailee as an inconsiderate lover.

"I\'m not his lover, okay?" muttered Hailee inwardly.

The girl knocked on the door before her again, this time louder.

Still no answer.

Hailee tapped it again, even louder this time.

There was still no sound.

Then slowly, Hailee opened the door which was not locked. Ramon should have been in this room alone, because earlier Hailee saw that Danny had left in a hurry while taking a call about an hour ago. Looks like an important problem had occurred.

After Hailee opened the door and peeked inside, she found that the atmosphere in the room was very quiet as Hailee couldn\'t even hear any movement from inside.

"Ramon?" hailee called while pushing the door wider. She welcomed herself to enter and walked in to the study that looked quite spacious.

Inside the room, there were rows of bookshelves and several displays that seem expensive. Hailee could guess they were valuable, because she was used to appraise items and check whether they are real or fake. Of course, she got this talent from her parents.

"Ramon?" called Hailee again. She stepped inside and passed a large glass wall that lined the left side, showing the backyard of the house. However, since night fell and the garden was only lit by the not so bright garden lights, the atmosphere made Hailee dislike it a little.

Hailee was afraid of ghosts.

\'I am not a kid, but what can I do? I couldn\'t manage my own feelings of fear, right?\' Hailee grumbled to herself.

When Hailee stepped further into the room, she found Ramon, asleep in his work chair. His eyes were closed shut and his breathing was regular with his chest rising and falling rhythmically, indicating that he was in a deep sleep.

Hailee approached this man cautiously and called out to him again.

"Ramon. Wake up."

Hailee tried to shake Ramon\'s body lightly, but the man didn\'t even flinch.

"Get up, you\'ll get sick, if you skip dinner too, you know."

Ramon still didn\'t get up.

"If you get sick, I\'ll be the one who\'s bothered."

No response.

Hailee was annoyed and got tired of waking Ramon up. On one hand, she didn\'t want Ramon to wake up, but on the other hand this man also had to consume something before taking the medicines.

Hailee then sat down on the table, in front of Ramon, after putting away the documents on it.

It was at this moment that Hailee looked back at Ramon\'s sleeping face. This was her habit from the time he was in the hospital.

No matter how to put it or how to describe it, Ramon was one of the most handsome men Hailee had ever got to meet. He was even more handsome than Theodore Genova.

Ramon had a sharp jaw and eyelashes that were as authentic as a woman, even Hailee envied him, as well as full lips and high cheekbones.

If their circumstances were different, Hailee would be happy to get to know more about this man in front of her.

Who wouldn\'t love handsome men, right?

Hailee chuckled to herself remembering the other women out there would be jealous to death knowing that Hailee could look at this man however she pleased.

And also, had their circumstances been different, Hailee would have happily flaunted Ramon as her new man in front of Aileen, so that her self-conscious step sister could see that an established man with an above average face wasn\'t just Theodore alone.

But, unfortunately the situation was not on Hailee\'s side and now she was in a dilemma regarding the steps she had to take next.

"If things had been different, it would have been nice to show you off to my friends. Too bad to waste a face this handsome," Hailee muttered without thinking. She didn\'t know where his mind took a tour to until she said what was in her heart.

However, unexpectedly, Ramon opened his eyes and looked directly into Hailee\'s eyes. His expression was so serious that Hailee was not sure that Ramon had just woken up from a deep sleep.

Could it be that he was pretending to be asleep?!

Hailee\'s pupils widened when she realized that, she immediately jumped down from the table, but Ramon grabbed her wrist.
