It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 598 TENSION IN THE AIR

　　As the two of them entered the hotel lobby, they could see that not far from them Gladys was waving enthusiastically with sparkling eyes with the man Apple met at the bar the other day, Derek, beside her.

　　"Oh, don't come here…" Jayden muttered, but against his wishes, Gladys ran toward them.

　　Meanwhile, Apple smiled bitterly when she saw Gladys walking closer to her, pulling Derek to follow her.

　　She looked like a cheerful girl and very extroverted. At first glance, Apple knew that she liked this girl more compared to the other cousins of Jayden.

　　However, the fact that she was with Derek still bothered Apple and she didn't seem very comfortable with the fact that this guy ever asked for her number.

　　While it was not uncommon to find someone to talk to at a bar and ask for their phone number, why would Derek want to have a girlfriend when he already had a girlfriend? That made absolutely no sense to Apple.

　　However, even so, Apple felt it was not her place to judge him, especially since she didn't want to interfere in their relationship. She just met Gladys.

　　"You guys just came back from Jayden's parents' house?" Gladys asked excitedly and then took Apple's hand. "Then how about you come to my party? Just for a bit. Try a drink or two, then go back to your hotel room, okay?"

　　Gladys almost begged Apple and this made her uncomfortable to refuse.

　　"No, we'll go back to the hotel room right now," Jayden said firmly, trying to pull Apple out of Gladys's arms, but his cousin slapped his hand away and glared at him.

　　She knew she wouldn't be able to convince Jayden, but it looked like Apple would be an easy target to persuade.

　　"Apple, just a glass or two, okay? There are some people who didn't come to this party, so it looks very lonely. Please do me a favor, will you?" Gladys coaxed relentlessly at Apple, giving her hopeful eyes for the girl to give in and agree.

　　"What Gladys said is true, why not relax for a while?" asked Derek, joining in on this chat that made Jayden stare at him scornfully. 

　　He didn't like it when people cut him off, so he grabbed Apple's arm, keeping the girl by his side.

　　Jayden wasn't rude when he did this, as there was no way he'd hurt Apple, but his sudden move surprised Gladys quite a bit.

　　"You don't have to be like that," Gladys muttered, frowning. She looked very disappointed and Apple thought it wouldn't hurt if they attended the party for a bit.

　　"I think a glass or two would be nice enough," Apple said to Jayden, to which Gladys smiled happily and clapped her hands like a child.

　　Jayden looked deeply at Apple. He didn't like it when Apple felt obligated to do something she didn't like. "You don't have to do that."

　　But, Apple rubbed his arm gently as she said, "I'm not that tired, we're already here after all, right? And our goal is to take a vacation. Parties are also part of the holiday, right?" persuaded Apple.

　　No. Jayden came to this island specifically to meet his mother and ask for the Tordoff family ring for him to use to propose to Apple. But, of course, he would not say that reason out loud.

　　And he had no other reason to say it wasn't just a vacation.

　　"Come on, I guarantee it's going to be a great party," Gladys coaxed, taking Apple's hand. They seemed to be the same age if not Apple was a year or two older than her.

　　And in the end after getting persuaded here and there, and making sure that Apple wasn't doing this out of necessity, Jayden finally agreed to go and the two of them walked behind Gladys and Derek, to the swimming pool where the party was taking place.

　　Gladys had rented the swimming pool for tonight's party.

　　"You don't have to go if you don't want to," Jayden said as they walked across the lobby, while Gladys was happily talking to Derek in front of them. "I know you're not comfortable with this kind of event."

　　"It's okay, we can leave immediately if I start to feel uncomfortable," said Apple, waving her hand, as if this wasn't a big deal to argue about. "Again, if I'm really joining your family, shouldn't I have a good relationship with your cousin?"

　　The last time Apple saw the Tordoffs, she caused an unnecessary fuss. Even though she knew very well it wasn't her fault, she still felt bad about it.

　　On the other hand, Jayden was quite happy to hear that Apple was making an effort to get to know his family more closely.

　　"Tell me if you're not comfortable, then we'll leave right away, okay?" Jayden whispered into her ear while kissing the nape of Apple which made her shudder a little because the gesture was too intimate for her and this made Jayden laugh, because he thought Apple was very funny.

　　Meanwhile, Gladys glanced at the couple behind her, who seemed to be having their own time and having fun, though she couldn't hear a word they were saying.

　　But, at least she'd been able to persuade these two lovebirds and they would definitely be the center of attention, which would make the party even more lively, since it was safe to say that Jayden rarely, if not at all, attended parties like this.

　　And it looked like what Gladys thought was right, because as soon as Jayden stepped into the swimming pool area, all eyes immediately fell on him, especially the women.

　　However, those adoring gazes turned into very sinister gazes when they saw the girl in Jayden's arms. They furrowed their foreheads very clearly, as if to say; what was that woman here for?

　　On the other hand, Apple felt this thick tension in the air. It was as if she was entering a tiger's lair.
