It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

"Oh, I'm so happy for you!" Hailee exclaimed excitedly when she heard that Zia and Ian were expecting their first child.

Last year, the two of them finally got married, in the presence of only a few close family members. It was a small wedding ceremony held at Tatum's residence.

Her uncle, Diego Tatum, didn't seem to mind the small party because the happy and cheerful smile that radiated on his daughter's face was more than enough for him to be able to see that Ian was the right choice and was the only man who could bring Zia happiness.

"Yes, I feel very happy!" Zia exclaimed, then she lowered her voice as she added. "But don't tell anyone about this, okay," she said. "I haven't even told Ian this news yet."

Hailee widened her eyes when she heard this, which meant that Zia told her this important news first. She was the first to know?

Hailee wanted to laugh when she realized this, her cousin really put priorities in the wrong place.

"Okay," Hailee replied. "But you have to tell me how Ian has reacted when he finally learns it."

Hailee was really curious how her best friend would react to the news of Zia's pregnancy.

After that, the two of them talked for a while before Hailee ended the call because she had to find Alina.

Her daughter had gone out with Pyro a few hours ago for a ride and had not returned even after lunch had come.

When her little daughter was with Pyro, she tended to be curious about everything and asked the bodyguard to let her do things that tended to be dangerous and Pyro, on many occasions, did not have the ability to refuse the little girl's requests.

Therefore, before anything untoward happened, Hailee had to find the two of them.

Hailee asked some people back at the house about Pyro's whereabouts and they said that Alina and Pyro went to Lexus' house.

"To Lexus' house?" Hailee frowned, she tried to contact her brother-in-law and the call was not picked up, neither did Pyro and Alina.

Hailee's suspicion grew stronger after that.

Alina, Pyro and Lexus were not a good combination, the three of them sometimes would go too far and Lexus could be very childish like Alina, even though he was now a father of a child.

Yes, one year ago Candice gave birth to a tiny and adorable baby boy, whom they named Misha James Tordoff.

And since then, Alina would often be seen playing at Lexus' house with the little baby who was now already able to walk and could call Alina's name.

Seeing Alina's interest in the little baby, Ramon always teased her to give Alina a sibling with the excuse that his little daughter would be happy.

Hm… Hailee of course didn't believe in such shallow reasoning.

But, that didn't mean Hailee didn't want a second child, having another baby did seem like fun and Hailee had been thinking about it a lot more recently.

After Hailee arrived at Lexus and Candice's house, she could immediately hear Alina and Lexus' voices in the backyard while Candice was in the living room with little Misha.

"Are they throwing a tantrum again?" Hailee asked as soon as she entered the house.

Candice grinned and shook her head in resignation. "You know what they're like," Candice said.

Before approaching her, Hailee approached Misha and kissed the baby's tiny cheek.

"He looks thinner than the last time I saw him," Hailee said.

"Yeah, he started running around and I think that's what made him lose weight."

Hailee laughed. Alina too was like that when she started running here and there.

And after that the three of them walked toward the back garden, where Lexus, Alina and Pyro were trying to practice shooting.

"Now they're practicing shooting," Hailee muttered. She was still holding baby Misha in her arms while Candice walked beside her.

"Well, it's a lot better than when they were training to ride," Candice replied, remembering all too well the commotion the three of them made doing so.

Realizing that someone else was behind, the three of them turned around and found the two women walking toward them.

"Mama!" Alina exclaimed as she ran to Hailee. "I am practicing shooting!" Alina reported to her mother proudly.

"Yeah, I can see it," Hailee said. She then gave baby Misha to Lexus and looked at Pyro with eyes that seemed to say; So this was what you were teaching my daughter?

On the other hand, Pyro could only smile a little, but didn't feel guilty at all.

"See, I can aim well," Alina said, and then pulled her mother closer and asked Pyro to prepare the gun she would use.

"If I hadn't seen this, I wouldn't have believed that a little nine-year-old girl was playing with a gun," Candice muttered.

This might seem a little scary and dangerous, but since Alina wasn't alone and Pyro and Lexus were there, it was actually quite fun.

As long as Alina was under close supervision, then everything would be fine.

After Pyro gave the gun to Alina and the little girl put on her noise mufflers, she was ready to aim at her target.

Not long after, five consecutive gunshots could be heard.

At first, this loud noise startled Misha and took him by surprise, but after the gunshots finished, the baby laughed and clapped his hands.

Three of the five bullets Alina shot hit the vitals of the target, while the other two hit another part of the target.

"See!" Alina exclaimed happily and Hailee gave her the compliment her daughter wanted to hear.

"I want to try too," Hailee said, feeling nostalgic. Even then, she was very enthusiastic in practicing shooting, maybe you could say almost the same as Alina now.

Pyro then gave Hailee the gun and let the girl shoot her target.

However, after Hailee finished and as the target board moved closer, no one commented, the atmosphere became quiet until Alina said in her innocent voice.

"Mama, why did you shoot at the bottom of the target? Aren't you supposed to shoot in the middle?" her daughter asked in confusion.

Meanwhile Lexus stared at Hailee with blank eyes, lost for words and Pyro could only grimace. Mrs. Tordoff hadn't changed at all...
