It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

"I'm still mad at you, Lexus," Candice said. She folded her arms across her chest, pursed her lips, refusing to look at the man beside her and instead paid attention to the busy and bustling street outside.

Lexus glanced at Candice one more time before he sighed. His gaze was fixed on the road in front of him, but when he spoke again, he sounded sincerely apologetic.

"I don't know how they got that kind of photo," Lexus said, trying to defend himself and lessen Candice's anger a little bit. "I've made them remove the news and it won't happen again."

What annoyed Candice most was; the media, that couldn't just leave the two of them alone without making some weird and senseless gossip.

And this time, they published a photo of Lexus with another woman, but in the photo Lexus seemed to be kissing the woman's forehead. But in fact, they were standing quite far away and it was impossible for Lexus to kiss the woman.

It was just a matter of the angle from which the photo was taken and the timing.

The photographer of the photo had certainly been very skilled with his camera, but his skills didn't seem to have had a good impact on anyone else.

"I'll take care of it," Lexus said. "You don't have to worry about that."

The same thing happened a year ago. Lexus got involved in a cheap rumor that he was dating another woman and of course this made Candice very angry and Lexus needed a little help to calm his lover by taking Alina with him so that Candice could stop ignoring him.

"This sucks…" Candice grumbled because the media never left her alone always coming up with gossip like this.

"I will stop the gossip once and for all." Lexus' voice sounded very determined and implied another meaning, however, Candice didn't get it.

On the other hand, Lexus also felt very upset because the media did not stop gossiping about him and other women.

How come when Ramon and Hailee were making babies they didn't dare to bother them? Why did the media crew actually dare to interfere with Lexus and Candice? Was it because Lexus was too bubbly and easy going, so they were not afraid of him?

Lexus kept thinking about this and started thinking about changing his own image. Maybe he should look colder and more cruel like Ramon so that people would know that he couldn't be bothered either...

"Where are we going?" Candice asked as she watched them enter the toll lane. She didn't remember Lexus saying about him taking her far away from the city. Lexus just said that they were going to have dinner.

"A nice place. Just take this as my apology," Lexus said, but he could feel his heart beating really hard.

Hope all goes well…

====================       

Lexus arrived at a restaurant outside the city with a sea view that Candice was very familiar with.

This was the first place Lexus took her out to eat after the gossip between the two of them developed, which said that Candice was Lexus Tordoff's lover and asked for an explanation regarding the photo of the two of them just coming out of a nightclub with Lexus looking all drunk.

And now, Candice was here, along with Lexus for the same reason, only the female object was no longer her.

Oh, of course not, because she was already Lexus' lover and it was official. They had been together for about five years and it wasn't a short time.

You could say this was the longest relationship that Candice or Lexus ever had.

"You want to reminisce?" Candice asked, a smile forming on her lips. She looked cute when she was not angry.

"Not really," Lexus replied, but then he grinned. "I didn't think that I would fall into your arms." He then rolled his eyes.

Seeing that, Candice rolled her eyes dramatically. "Of course, you chased me like crazy."

Candice still remembered very well how persistent Lexus was, well, if you couldn't say forcible, to take her home during the gossip that hit them both.

And of course the gossip didn't subside, it just got hotter.

But, that was why the relationship between the two of them was able to run until now and when Candice thought about it again, she didn't regret it at all.

A waiter then walked up to them, delivered the menu and asked what they both wanted.

After that, the servant left, but that was when Candice sensed something was off.

"What is it?" Lexus asked, noticing the change in Candice's facial expression.

"Why is this place so quiet?" Candice looked around, she had rarely been to this restaurant, but right now there were only two of them around.

And before Candice could hear Lexus' answer, the lights all over the restaurant went out.

"What… what is this?" And, the first thing Candice realized was; Lexus had knelt before her holding a small blue velvet box.

"I've been trying to memorize one long and poetic sentence that Hailee wrote, but now I can't remember a single word of it. But, the most important thing is the question I want to ask you." Lexus' voice sounded a little hoarse and nervous in this quiet and dim room, where a soft light shone in his direction. "Will you marry me?" he asked.

Candice looked surprised, but then her eyes filled with tears. She didn't answer immediately and this made Lexus even more anxious.

"What if I say 'no'?" Candice asked, her voice hoarse from the emotions she was trying to suppress.

"You see the sea behind you?" Lexus asked without changing his facial expression. "I'll jump into it if you ever say 'no' to me."

Candice laughed when she heard that. "Then I have no other choice but to say 'yes', right?"

Lexus got his 'yes', but he frowned. "You look forced," he complained.

Candice then bent down and gave Lexus a peck on the lips. "Sometimes I like to be forced," she said softly.

They then kissed, completely forgetting about their surroundings. Or it could be said that Lexus forgot that his and Candice's entire families were just behind them.

"Dad, why are my eyes closed?" Alina protested because Ramon's hand covered her eyes. "I can't see, I want to see." The little one started to fuss with him because she couldn't get her father's hand off of her eyes.

"Don't look, this will only get your eyes dirty," Ramon grumbled. "He proposed in a place like this? He really has no taste."

Hailee, who heard that, laughed, imagining Ramon's proposal that came late.
