It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 23: BICKERING AT DINNER TABLE

"What do you mean by just a few people?" Lexus didn't understand his brother's wish and started staring at him with a confused face.

"I want this wedding to be attended only by our important business colleagues and not be made public," replied Ramon.

Lexus scrunched up his face before finally an understanding dawned on his senses. "You want to keep this marriage a secret!?" he said half screaming which made Hailee turn around, looking at the two brothers with a questioning look.

"What is wrong?" Hailee turned off the stove and walked over to them.

"Nothing, just business." Ramon answered casually, but Hailee sat across the bar and stared at the two of them.

"Why don't you just finish cooking?" Ramon tried to send her away in a not so obvious manner.

"No, I'm done." Hailee waved her hand at the few servants who had been standing at the side of the room. "Please bring the dishes over to the table, okay?"

Three servants immediately walked over and did as Hailee asked. They looked at each other when the delicious aroma of Hailee's cooking wafted into their noses.

It seemed, this young girl could really cook.

"So what are you talking about?" Hailee placed her hands on the bar and leaned over, looking eager to know what Lexus said, because Hailee heard it after all.

"We didn't talk about anything," Lexus argued and raised his hands with a frown on his face. "You heard wrong."

"I heard you saying; "You want to keep this marriage a secret?!" that's what I heard when you almost shouted." Hailee mimicked Lexus' voice and this made Ramon smile faintly at how strange the girl's voice had become.

"You heard wrong," murmured Lexus unhappily. He looked away trying to look anywhere but at Hailee.

Hailee snorted in annoyance at Lexus' childish behavior and turned her attention to Ramon. "So, you want to keep this marriage a secret?"

Just then, the three servants were ready to serve the main dishes, which Hailee had previously cooked, on the table, between the three of them.

And the aroma of the cooking that wafted in the air, which was able to distract Lexus again.

"Then?" Hailee looked at Ramon with curious eyes. "Are you going to keep this marriage a secret?"

"Why?" Ramon leaned over too and looked at Hailee with deep eyes. "You want this wedding to be celebrated with great fanfare?"

"No, no! It is not that!" Hailee waved her hand quickly and immediately rejected Ramon's idea. "On the contrary."

"Hm?" Ramon raised his eyebrows.

"How about we just postpone this wedding?" Hailee immediately seized the opportunity to be able to escape this unexpected plan. "You're still sick and there's no need to rush this marriage, right?"

"Why shouldn't we hurry?" Ramon enjoyed Hailee's worried expression. How her eyes blinked rapidly in her attempt to find an excuse to avoid this marriage. "We've been together for two years, haven't we?"

"Yes, yes, but… still…" Hailee stammered her point and was furious that Ramon was not sensitive enough to understand her meaning. "Two years is not a long time for us to get to know each other, how about next year?" Hailee suggested.

"So? So you want to get married next year?" Ramon asked.

"Yes," replied Hailee with certainty.

Within this one year, many things might happen and Hailee could definitely find a chance to escape from Ramon, or Ramon might have his memories back.

If that had happened and Hailee were still in this house, surely they wouldn't blame her for taking the opportunity in such a tight spot, would they?

At least the Tordoffs weren't going to give too much punishment for her lies.

??Besides, two weeks was too fast to prepare for the wedding. We shouldn't make decisions hastily, let alone on something as important as marriage," Hailee tried to coax, feeling that she had gained the upper hand as she watched Ramon weigh her words.

On the other hand, Ramon is looking at Hailee with interest. One more thing he should note about Hailee was; this girl didn't seem like she wanted to be exposed. What was the matter? What was she trying to avoid? Or… who?

"Okay," replied Ramon as he took the plate in front of him and Hailee, kindheartedly, got a piece of fried fish already for him, looking at Ramon with sparkling eyes.

"So, you agreed to postpone this marriage?" Hailee asked carefully.

"No," replied Ramon with a smile watching Hailee's surprised expression out of the corner of his eye. "The wedding will go on as planned."

The shrimp that Hailee was about to spoon onto Ramon's plate just fell off when she heard this man's answer. "What?" her forehead creased in disbelief. "I thought you agreed. You said 'okay'."

"No, I said that because I understand your reasons, but that doesn't mean I agree." Ramon painstakingly placed the vegetables on Hailee's plate and a few pieces of meat. "We're still going to get married two weeks from now."

Hailee couldn't believe what she heard. Actually, Could this guy really understand what she was trying to say?!

"If you think we don't know each other enough, we can do it after we get married." Ramon took the spoon and placed it in Hailee's hand. "Besides, right now I don't remember anything. So, I hope you can help me remember the times when we were together. "

"What time together!?"Hailee grumbled. They had only met for less than a month!

"You," Ramon looked at his brother next to him. "Make sure this event goes smoothly."

"All right, all right ..." Lexus nodded, not really listening when he was about to take the second piece of meat. He didn't expect Hailee's cooking to be so good. It perfectly glides on his tongue smoothly!

But, suddenly Hailee hit Lexus on the hand with the spoon Ramon had given her. "Who said you can eat?! I made this just for me and Ramon! " she exclaimed irritably.

"Hah?" Lexus rubbed his sore hand and looked at Hailee in disbelief. The girl appeared very angry. But, shouldn't she be mad at Ramon? Why was Lexus the target?

Of course Hailee's annoyance should be aimed at Ramon, but she didn't dare to be mad at him. Therefore, Hailee targeted a goal that made much more sense.

"No way, you cooked so much for just the two of you to eat?" grumbled Lexus, he took the spoon again and ignored Hailee's fierce gaze.

In the end, Ramon couldn't eat peacefully because Hailee and Lexus kept bickering, but he didn't mind at all. Instead, he tend to enjoy this atmosphere.
