It’s Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 640 LIKE A PUPPY

“What do you mean by your long lecture about humanity and all?” asked Apple. “I didn’t know that you had such high morals that you thought about the safety of all humanity.” Had he forgotten what he had done to the poor people he had caught?

But, of course, Apple didn’t say that and kept it to herself.

She was intrigued by Jayden’s hypocritical lecture because they both knew how unreasonable he sounded, especially because of what they had done to the people who had tried to hurt them.

On the other hand, Jayden knew that Apple would ask this question, so he didn’t explain what he had done earlier, but pointed it out to her straight away.

Just then, Jayden sat up straight and grabbed something from the front seat. It was a device that had headphones and he gestured to Apple to put on headphones.

“Listen,” Jayden said quietly, then he pressed a few buttons on the device.

Apple knew what device it was, but she didn’t have any idea who Jayden was tapping into.

However, when she heard the first sound that came out of the receiver, she was able to determine who it was.

“When actually did you put a bug on Theodore?!” Apple asked in surprise, because she didn’t expect Jayden to put a bug on the man, but when? They had no contact at all for as long as Apple knew.

The two of them didn’t even shake hands or stand too close, except when they were sitting across from each other, so that was why Apple was curious about how Jayden pulled it off.

“How did you do it? When did you put the bug on him?” asked Apple. She then removed the headphones from her head and stared at Jayden, waiting for a response from the man.

She knew that the receiver was equipped with an audio recording function, so they could listen to the audio recording later.

She was amazed at how Jayden improvised, as this was not in their original plan, but it seemed like, as usual, Jayden got the idea at the last second. He had always been like that.

On the other hand, Jayden looked proud when he saw Apple was surprised to find out what he had done, he looked at his fiancée with a sweet smile tugging on the corners of his lips.

“First of all, there’s something I need to clarify,” Jayden said in a low voice, as if to dramatize the atmosphere, but also this was his way of teasing Apple, because this girl would be very focused on him right now, because she wanted to know what had really happened.

“What’s that?” asked Apple curiously. She turned to Jayden waiting for an answer from him while looking at him questioningly.

“I didn’t put the bug on his body,” Jayden said. “You remember the coin I gave him to buy a bandage?” Jayden asked with a meaningful smile on his lips.

Apple narrowed her eyes. “The coin you put on the table?” She asked to make sure that the coin she was thinking of was the same coin that Jayden meant.

“That’s right,” Jayden said cheerfully.

“You put that coin with that purpose?” Apple asked Jayden with a look of disbelief because the moment was so fitting and he didn’t look nervous at all. Well, what could she expect from Jayden Tordoff?

Of course, he wouldn’t be at all nervous about this, would he?

Jayden was very experienced at deceiving people to get what he wanted when his evil side was showing up.

“Yup,” Jayden said, then looked at Apple with a sweet smile, which reminded the girl of a puppy wagging its tail. “Praise me.”

Apple laughed when she heard that and then rubbed his head gently, ruffling his hair.

“Good job, Mr. Tordoff,” said Apple, to which Jayden pecked her lips and held out his hand in front of Apple.

“May I have my phone back?” Jayden asked.

This man was really weird. There were thousands, if not millions, of online games that he could play, but he was struck with this very outdated snake game? Apple couldn’t understand why he preferred to play this game.

Apple then gave back the phone when Jayden shifted slightly to lie on her lap. He then put Apple’s hand on his head and asked the girl to rub his head while he played the game.

See? No wonder Apple thought this guy was like a puppy, right? He was behaving like one and this made Apple shake her head in disbelief.

But, needless to say, Jayden looked very relaxed now, really being himself, something that was rarely seen.

He must also be very tired today after arranging everything so well and even thinking about plans within plans within plans they made.

Yes, today was a long and tiring day…

And this made Apple smile a little at him and rub his head as requested.

Every now and then, Jayden would take Apple’s hand and kiss the palm of it, as if to let her know he wasn’t ignoring her.

======================

“What are you going to do with those two?” Jayden asked Apple when they had finished eating.

“Hmm?” Apple tilted her head, a little confused as to who Jayden meant. “Who?” she asked, as she sipped on her drink.

They just finished dinner at a seafood restaurant on the beach, which was the Jayden family’s favorite restaurant, especially his uncle, Lexus and his wife, because this was where his uncle proposed to his current wife.

And also because the food here was really good.

“The two people that were with you earlier,” Jayden said, then he told her who the two men he was referring to were. “Ivan and Mateo.”

Apple almost spat the drink in her mouth at Jayden’s face. Luckily, she had good reflexes and swallowed it instead, but she still choked.

This of course surprised Jayden, which made him quickly move to the side of Apple’s seat and massage the back of her neck, looking a little panicked.

“What is it? Are you okay?” Jayden asked, his voice filled with anxiety. He looked at Apple wide-eyed and wiped the tears that had fallen from the corners of her eyes. “Are you okay? You don’t have to drink in such a rush,” Jayden said again.

Apple then shook her head and when she had regained her composure, she glared at Jayden.

“You imprisoned Ivan and Mateo?!” asked Apple in disbelief, she hissed like a snake because she didn’t want to be the center of attention in this place.

“Yeah, they were found in that dead end alley, Theodore’s guys just left the two of them there, so I brought them both,” Jayden replied with an innocent face.

Jayden said it like he was telling how he had noticed two abandoned kittens and picked them up out of pity.

At this point, Apple really wanted to facepalm herself.

“What will you tell them if they find out about this?” Apple was feeling anxious. “What if they find out you’re involved in this and you’re reported to have kidnapped someone. It’s a kidnap.”

Jayden shrugged his shoulders, not really caring about it. “Truthfully, they don’t know that I am the one holding them.”

“Hmm?” This time Apple got confused. How could they not realize that Jayden was not involved in this and not know that Jayden had imprisoned them?

“Ivan is still assuming that the people who caught him after you left are still the same people Theodore sent to kidnap you,” Jayden replied. “As for that male model… I don’t know what he’s thinking, I put them in the same room, so maybe Ivan can tell him what happened or make up a story.”

Jayden didn’t really care about that and Apple squinted her eyes then asked to be more certain about this.

“Because he keeps asking my people he’s done what they wanted, so why are they holding him back.” Jayden didn’t seem at all sympathetic to the man.

“Then why did you confine them?” Apple lightly hit Jayden’s arm.

“Because I thought you wanted to talk to them,” Jayden replied innocently.

“Maybe I want to talk to Ivan, but why did you bring Mateo too?” asked Apple cluelessly.

Yes, Ivan was involved in whatever that had transpired tonight, but Mateo had nothing to do with this and he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

“Oh, it’s because he looks scared, so I brought him along,” Jayden replied lightly, but he smiled mischievously, indicating that he actually just wanted to scare the poor guy.

Or maybe it was because Jayden wanted to teach the guy a lesson for having a slightly romantic photo session with Apple.

He didn’t like it when he saw the man standing too close to Apple or even dropping his arm around her shoulders, looking at her sweetly.

Ugh!

Jayden was a little annoyed, even though he knew that it was clearly work related and Apple was more than enough to protect herself and would not let others take advantage of her.

But, Jayden was still annoyed.

“You really couldn’t be trusted,” Apple grumbled, pinching Jayden’s arm. “We have to go over there now and let them both go.”

“Let them stay the night,” Jayden grumbled. “I gave the two of them a room.”

“No, you’ll be in trouble if you kidnap a public figure like Mateo Sullivan,” Apple grumbled.

“Ah, I forgot about that…”
