It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!-Chapter 73 - LOST FOR WORDS

A short while later there was a long tone, indicating that the telephone connection had been disconnected.

Hailee and Lexus; "..."

"Why did he cut off the line?" Hailee asked Lexus with an expression of disbelief as she stared at the screen of the cellphone of the man beside her, who was scratching his head that was not itchy.

"I don't know," Lexus replied with a grimace. He tilted his head and thought for a moment. "Maybe because of my question."

If you think about it, it was Lexus' question that made Ramon hang up the phone.

In fact, since when did Lexushad to bother about calling his brother at night just to ask if he had eaten or not? Lexus wasn't usually that concerned! And Ramon was also not a child to be reminded of trivial things like eating.

"So, find the right question," Hailee grumbled, frowning.

"Hey! Why am I being scolded?" Lexus replied, staring at Hailee in disbelief. "I don't even know what the problem is between you two."

Hailee grew even more silent when she heard Lexus's words, but also didn't look up from the cell phone screen in his hand.

And when Hailee was about to talk, as if Lexus knew what she was going to say, he raised his hand first to stop any words that were about to slide off her lips. "I'm not calling him again," he said in a definite and indisputable tone. "He won't pick up my phone because he thinks I'm just wasting his time." 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

"How can you be so sure?" Hailee asked, narrowing her eyes suspiciously, this could be just a trick of Lexus.

"Of course I know! I'm the little brother he loves the most," Lexus said with a big smile and a proud tone.

But, Hailee didn't smile with him. "Does he have another younger brother? He has no choice, you know."

In other words, if Ramon had to be proud of a younger brother, it would be Lexus. His choices were very limited considering he only had one younger brother.

"Hey, what does that mean?" Lexus was about to grumble when this time it was Hailee who raised her hand to stop him from speaking.

"Okay, that means I already know that he's not sleeping, I better call him now," said Hailee while taking out her own cellphone.

Quickly, Hailee found Ramon's phone number and called the man.

"Why are you still here?" Hailee asked, looking at Lexus with a questioning gaze, seeing him leaning over, as if he wanted to overhear the conversation between Hailee and Ramon.

"I want to listen too, what my brother is like when a woman calls him at night," Lexus answered, a grin etched on his lips as he glanced at Hailee with enthusiasm.

"No," said Hailee immediately, she pushed her cell phone away so Lexus wouldn't be able to hear anything.

"Why?" The smile on Lexus' face faded as his brows knitted together, he stared at Hailee like a child asking for candy. "I also want to hear, I want to hear."

"Get away, Lexus, being cute not suit with you." Hailee grumbled and pushed Lexus' chest away from her.

Without the two of them knowing it, it turned out that the call had been connected to Ramon and the man was listening to an argument between the two.

He could only exhale heavily, knowing how well Hailee and Lexus get along with each other, especially their childish side.

It was only after a while, Hailee realized that her phone was connected.

"Ha ..." Even before she finished greeting him, Ramon already spoke in a flat tone.

"Give the phone to Lexus," he said without a 'hi', 'hello' or 'good night'.

With a frown, Hailee stared at her cellphone screen. What's with Ramon? Wasn't Hailee the one calling him, so why would he talk to Lexus?

"What is wrong? Why?" asked Lexus from next to her in a low voice, as if Ramon didn't know he was there yet. "He doesn't want to talk to you?"

"He wants to talk to you," Hailee said grumpily, then handed the cell phone to Lexus.

"Me?" He pointed at himself and saw Hailee nod. Then he carefully took the cell phone from Hailee's hand and pressed it to his own ear.

On the other hand, Hailee noticed the expression on Lexus's face that turned tense when he heard what Ramon said.

Hailee was curious. She leaned closer so she could hear what they were talking about, but the conversation was brief because after Lexus agreed to whatever Ramon said, he immediately returned the cell phone to Hailee.

"Here," he said as he thrust the cellphone toward Hailee and got up. "You can use the guest room over there." Pointed Lexus toward one of the doors to their left, which was beautifully carved. "Don't come home at night and if you need anything, just call me or the people who are here."

Lexus said it out loud enough for Hailee to believe he was doing it so Ramon on the other side could hear him through the cell phone that was still connected.

"Okay?" Lexus asked. He seemed impatient to escape from his own living room and back into the room, even though just a moment ago he had been adamant on listening to Hailee and Ramon's chat.

"Okay," Hailee answered with a smile hanging on her lips and laughed softly when she saw Lexus finally leave. "Hey, what did you say to your little brother that he just left like that?" Hailee asked Ramon.

She then saw Lexus say something to a servant, who then walked toward the guest room that Lexus had pointed out earlier. Looked like Lexus asked her to clean the guest room.

Actually, it didn't matter if Hailee had to go back to Ramon's house, the distance between the two houses was only five minutes, but because Lexus had already prepared a room for her, Hailee decided to go home tomorrow.

"I have my own way of handling him." Ramon answered in his usual calm voice.

"Great,I thought he'd stick with me so he could hear our conversation," Hailee said. There was still a lingering laughter in her voice.

"Then, why did you call me?" This was Ramon's habit, he wouldn't settle for light-hearted topics to break the ice, but would go straight to the point like why Hailee called him.

Instantly, the laughter in Hailee's voice disappeared and she felt nervous. Why the heck is this guy so stiff and straight to the point?

"I just wanted to say that I got the cell phone you bought me," Hailee then added. "Thank you."

"That is it? Didn't that cellphone already with you from this afternoon?" Ramon probed.

Hailee lost for words in the face of this man instantly.
