It’s Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 644 I WISH I WERE THERE

“Damn it, Ivan!” Apple cursed under her breath. She was feeling very tired and wanted to get some rest, but instead she was presented with this news. “What trash article is this?”

Right now, she was in the car with Jayden and Adrian, heading to Jayden’s apartment.

Apple couldn’t help grumbling while reading the article and Jayden had already contacted his PR team to take care of the matter.

Too bad, Jayden really missed it because it happened at a very inconvenient time, as there were so many other things happening almost simultaneously and he wasn’t able to pay more attention to this.

He didn’t expect that Ivan, the person Apple considered a friend, would treat her like this. Because after doing a background check, he was found to be clean.

Not to mention the problem of shooting at the resort and also the arrival of the ship and if Apple didn’t realize there was something wrong with Ivan and start tapping him, maybe tonight Jayden would have stormed into the Gevano family’s house and something bad might have happened.

The evening had gone very smoothly thanks to Apple and now the girl was grumbling in annoyance over the article she was reading.

“You don’t need to worry, I already asked my PR team and lawyer to take care of all this stuff, you don’t need to be so upset,” Jayden said in a soft voice, he then stroked Apple’s silky hair and pulled her closer.

“I should have killed him,” Apple grumbled in annoyance. She let Ivan go so easily.

On the other hand, when he heard that, Jayden laughed softly. “Just say it and I’ll do it,” Jayden said.

“Well, I don’t mind doing it,” Adrian chimed in from behind the wheel, when he saw Apple looking so annoyed.

“No! I will do it myself with my bare hands,” she said in a voice so dangerous.

Seeing that, Jayden and Adrian couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Especially when she was muttering like that, Apple rested her head on Jayden’s shoulder and soon she was asleep. She seemed very tired. It had been a long day and they all needed a break.

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

Ivan didn’t know what to think. He didn’t want to believe what Apple had shown him, but the messages didn’t look like a ruse, after all, how could Apple do that?

She couldn’t possibly get enough time to do it all, could she?

Ivan shook his head in disbelief at what he had just experienced and learned.

Maybe he was still in denial right now, but he certainly didn’t know what to think anymore, because everything looked so hazy in his eyes, it was as if he was seeing everything through an obscure lens.

Ivan also realized that an article about Apple had come out and he was to blame for the article. Because that was all he planned together with Veronica.

Ivan knew this would be dangerous and cause trouble, especially since Apple had Jayden Tordoff behind her and a scandal like this simply spelled trouble.

But, on the other hand, Ivan couldn’t refuse the big sum they offered him to find out more about Apple and Jayden’s relationship.

What Ivan didn’t expect was; Apple was too quiet. She didn’t say anything unnecessary about her relationship with Jayden, even though they used to talk a lot.

To get out of this problem, Ivan relied on his friendship with Apple. No matter what, Apple would protect herself, right? And would not let Mr. Tordoff act out of line.

But, this time, he really messed up, especially after seeing the messages and the hateful look Apple gave him.

Ivan took a deep breath as he walked toward his empty and lonely apartment and this made him even more depressed.

Jayden Tordoff’s men had dropped him off right in front of his apartment building and just left, without saying a word.

Overall, that was a good sign, wasn’t it?

But, Ivan didn’t want to be alone right now. Therefore, he decided to go to Rachel’s apartment, thinking about confronting the girl, whether the messages shown by Apple were true.

Ivan then took his car keys and called Rachel, who picked up after he tried calling her the third time.

“Hello?” Rachel’s voice was deep and sleepy.

“Where are you?” Ivan asked. He then got into the elevator to go to the basement. “Are you asleep?”

“Hmm?” Rachel mumbled and there was a sound of movement, it looked like she was in bed. “Yes, I was sleeping. Where are you now?”

When he heard the question, Ivan stepped out of the elevator and stopped where he was for a moment. He looked like he was transfixed for a few seconds.

“Ivan? Where are you, babe? Everything is alright?” Rachel asked, her voice hoarse, but also filled with worry.

“Yes, everything is alright…” Ivan didn’t know what got into him, but at that moment he decided to lie. “I’m still at the beach and will probably spend the night here and return tomorrow morning.”

He didn’t know why he was doing this, but he felt it was the right decision he could make.

“Oh, okay…” Rachel said. “You’re alright, aren’t you?” Rachel asked again to be sure.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m fine. I just want to hear your voice,” said Ivan. He could feel the adrenaline rushing through his veins and making his heart beat fast.

“I miss you too,” Rachel said after letting out a small laugh after what Ivan said. “I wish you were here with me,” Rachel said in a sexy whisper.

“Yeah, I wish I was there with you,” said Ivan again. His voice was dry and trembling slightly when he heard the sweet words from Rachel’s lips. “I wish I was there.”

Rachel let out another chuckle when she heard that.

“Okay, sleep well, my baby,” Ivan said softly, his voice a small whisper.
