It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Luckily when Mrs. Gevano said that, Ramon was quite far from them. So, it was safe for Hailee to assume that the man didn't hear what Mrs. Gevano said just now.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Gevano also knew that Ramon couldn't hear them, so she continued her small talk.

"If this had been the marriage of the two of you, your mother would have been very happy, because after all this was the wedding we both wanted," Mrs. Gevano kept saying anything and everything as if she had forgotten the fact that Hailee had married another man and today was her son's wedding to a woman of his own choosing. "I know your mother very well."

On the other hand, when she heard that, Hailee politely withdrew her hand from Mrs. Gevano and while still smiling, she replied to those words.

"My mom would be happy to see me happy now, after all..." Hailee hung her words, but the look in her eyes suggested something Mrs. Gevano was too late to notice. "After all… my mother wouldn't be that happy if she found out what Theodore had done behind my back."

Mrs. Gevano was about to open her mouth to defend her son by saying that Theodore was not entirely at fault and that it was all Aileen's ruse to gain a better position in society by raising her social status.

But, Hailee didn't let Mrs. Gevano say that because she already knew very well what the middle-aged woman in front of her would say. Indeed, like mother like son, now only Hailee realized from whom Theodore got his arrogance.

"You know my mother very well and you also know how much hate my mother would feel for betrayal," Hailee said, looking satisfied with the look on Mrs. Gevano who turned pale and lost her words.

Mrs. Gevano's behavior was totally unacceptable. What she said only meant she didn't respect Ramon, and by not respecting her husband, of course she wasn't respecting Hailee either.

Hailee wouldn't let anyone trample on her family's name like that, especially in front of her.

After saying that, Hailee gave her a sweet smile once more before backing away and approaching Ramon, who was chatting with some of Theodore's family who wanted to know more about him.

It was very rare for them to chance upon an opportunity to meet Ramon Tordoff in person, of course they all would not miss this opportunity, especially when they had the chance to attract Ramon's attention in investing into their business.

"Are you done talking to your former mother-in-law?" asked Ramon in a low voice that only Hailee could hear.

Hailee immediately raised her head when she heard Ramon's question, but she could see the mischievous glint in her husband's eyes.

"No need for a longer talk, I'm afraid she will regret even more for not having me as her daughter-in-law," Hailee replied confidently and this made Ramon laugh.

================   

Giana should have taken this into account, that she would meet Ramon at Aileen's wedding, because after all Aileen was Hailee's adopted sister. So, it was certain that if that woman was here, then Ramon would accompany her without a doubt.

Indeed, previously Giana was so determined to be able to meet Ramon, no matter what happened she wanted to always be able to see the man, but now things were different.

She wasn't in an easy position to meet Ramon, especially when her purpose in coming here was to see the woman who had been Aidan's long-time mistress, and was none other than Zia Tatum, Hailee Tatum's cousin.

Giana really wanted to laugh at her destiny. How could two women from the Tatum family just ruin her life? This was a very ridiculous coincidence for her.

"Then, what are you going to do when you find out that it's the woman you're looking for?" Aileen asked Giana, while the two of them were enjoying their drinks in one corner, after the main event of the wedding was over and the guests were enjoying the meal.

On the other hand, Mrs. Gevano continued to watch Aileen chatting intimately with Giana Smith. Her forehead knitted together in confusion and curiosity. How come Aileen knew someone like Giana?

"She looks like a prostitute," Giana said in a low voice as she sipped her drink. Her piercing eyes were glaring at Zia, who was chatting with Hailee while Ramon was standing not far from his wife. "So is the woman next to her," she added.

"What?" Hearing Giana's last sentence, Aileen was quite surprised. She turned to see if Giana was just joking with what she just said, and what she saw was seriousness there.

"Oops, sorry, I forgot that it was your sister," Giana said in a sweet voice, but there was no apologetic tone in her voice. "Forget my words."

"Do you have any problem with Hailee?" Aileen tried to investigate this subtly, so that Giana would not suspect her.

Meanwhile, Giana didn't immediately answer Aileen's question. She watched the bride carefully before she finally answered with a more democratic answer. "Nothing, just this and that."

Aileen caught this and tried her luck again. "I'm relieved that other people also find her annoying. Just because I'm indebted to her family for raising me, doesn't mean I like her."

Giana raised her eyebrows when she heard this. "What's your problem with her?"

And just as Aileen expected, Giana welcomed the hint well.

Meanwhile, at the same time, Zia was stealing glances at Giana and Aileen who were having a serious conversation.

She didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but whatever it was, it didn't make her feel any better. Zia felt that the two of them were planning something.

"Is something bothering you?" Hailee asked. She had been observing Zia since earlier as well as Giana.

Hailee was quite surprised to see Giana at Aileen's wedding. What was the woman's relationship with her adopted sister? Hailee didn't know they were close enough until Giana attended Aileen's wedding.

"Nothing," Zia replied as she continued sipping her drink, but then her father called out to her, for which she had to walk past where Giana and Aileen were standing. "Hailee, accompany me, okay?"
