It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!-Chapter 93 - WORTH IT
Hearing Theodore's words, Aileen could only nod weakly, showing her feminine side that needed protection from this man, something Theodore liked the most and Aileen understood very well.
As a man, Theodore needed this kind of security; a feeling of being able to protect his woman, a feeling he didn't get from Hailee because she was too independent and rarely showed a weak attitude like Aileen did whenever they were together.
Theodore felt in control whenever he was with Aileen and he loved her.
Because of that, he didn't really have any deep feelings for Hailee, as he didn't really like her character who was difficult to control.
But without Aileen knowing, after meeting Hailee again earlier, Theodore felt something different about her and he couldn't say what it was... it was just that he was used to see that girl as someone belonged to him and now when Hailee was with another man he felt like something was taken away from him.
This feeling was the same as when you get used to seeing something as yours, until you didn't realize the value of that thing, but when that thing disappeared, then you would feel something was missing.
At least that was the feeling Theodore felt now when he witnessed the intimacy that Hailee and Ramon shared.
However, Aileen did not let Theodore dwell on the thought for too long, because when she lifted her head and looked at this man deeply, instinctively, Theodore lowered his head and began to bite Aileen's tiny lips, which she reciprocated with the same intensity.
It was only after feeling Theodore's passion from their kiss, could Aileen breathe a sigh of relief, she had to make sure that this man still really believed her and wouldn't find out more about what Hailee said earlier.
Aileen still have Theodore wrapped around her fingers.
==============
When night fell and Aileen was alone in her room, she made a phone call to one of the managers in charge of the Blue Sea.
"I want you to postpone whatever Ramon Tordoff ordered," Aileen said in a cold tone when she found out that Ramon chose the most expensive diamond Tatum Jewelry had for their wedding ring next week.
How could Aileen just let that happen? There was no way she would let Hailee have things so easily.
All these years, Hailee had lived a very pleasant life in the Tatum family because she was the only daughter of Giorgio and Diana, while Aileen…
No matter how much attention the Tatum couple paid or how well they treated Aileen, in the end Aileen was not their own child and the world outside only knew about it, without knowing the whole truth.
The truth that was recently revealed...
"Delay it?" A man's voice sounded surprised from the other end of the line. He was the manager responsible for the wedding ring order of Ramon Tordoff and Hailee Tatum. "But, we can't possibly do that..."
"Why isn't it not possible?!" Aileen growled in annoyance, as she interrupted the manager's sentence. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
This was not the first time for Mr. Gerald, the manager, to face Aileen's attitude like this. Since he was in charge of the orders of engagement and wedding rings for Aileen and Theodore, this woman slowly started to show her bad side.
Mr. Gerald didn't even understand how could Theodore Gevano choose Aileen over Hailee? Who was the rightful heir of Tatum Jewelry, not to mention their completely opposite nature like this.
This woman simply a witch with beautiful face.
Aileen behaved as if she was the only heir that the Tatum family had, even though that was not the case, and the company was currently under her and George Tatum's control.
"Sorry Ms. Tatum, but I don't think it can be done…" Mr. Gerald kept the feeling of dissatisfaction from being so obvious in his tone of voice when he explained the matter. "Who we are facing is Ramon Tordoff and this company will not be able to bear the consequences that would ensue if we disappoint a tycoon like himself...
In addition, the advertisement that we will get because Mr. Tordoff entrusts our company as the maker of his wedding rings will increase the company's popularity. Coupled with the fact that Ms. Hailee, who is his future bride, I am sure that this is a big advantage that the company will reap....
So if we were to screw this up on purpose…" However, Mr. Gerald was interrupted when he heard the long tone of his cell phone and when he looked at the screen, it was certain that Aileen had hung up in the middle of his explanation. "This woman!" Mr. Gerald cursed.
If only he hadn't thought about continuing his career at Tatum Jewelry, he might have called Aileen back and cursed her for being so unprofessional.
However, after some deliberation and knowing that it was impossible for him to do this, the manager in his forties could only shake his head and let out a resigned sigh.
He only hoped that Aileen would not cause a problem, because since Giorgio Tatum left and the company was under George Tatum, the company's management situation was not very good.
If this continued, it would be bad for them.
Meanwhile, the woman who had provoked the manager's annoyance was now closing her eyes, trying to control her wild emotions and anger.
But, a moment later, you could hear the loud sound of an object hitting the wall and the sound of Aileen's exasperated screams.
Not far from her, on the white marble floor of Aileen's room, was a cell phone that had its screen cracked after the sole occupant of the room hurled the unfortunate object at the wall.
Aileen could not accept the very thought of Hailee getting her hands on that diamond. She wanted it for herself, but Theodore seemed reluctant to give the diamond to Aileen when he learned of its fantastic nominal.
And Aileen didn't want to be pushy, because her relationship with Theodore's parents was not very good and she didn't want to leave a worse impression than this.
Theodore's parents did not really like Aileen to have a relationship with their son, especially after finding out that Theodore decided to be with Aileen instead of Hailee.
That was simply a humiliation for them.
Therefore, by insisting on her wish to get the diamond, it would only create a worse image of her in front of Theodore's parents.
It was just that, after hearing that Ramon would give the diamond to Hailee, Aileen's anger and jealousy flared up again. She couldn't accept that Hailee was getting what she wanted!
"Hailee…" Aileen said that name with a tone like someone who was cursing.
==============
"Is it okay for you to buy the ring?" Hailee asked Ramon while they were having dinner. "The diamond is Tatum Jewelry's signature item. I feel that at such a fantastic price it is not worth it for just one ring."
Hailee knew very well how valuable these diamonds were. The blue diamond stone was the reason why the first jewelry store opened by the Tatum company was called Blue Sea, because the navy blue diamond shaped like a tear was her mother's favorite diamond and would never have been traded if they were both still alive.
Unfortunately, George Tatum thought differently...
"Worth it?" Ramon raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman in front of him who was worried about money issues in front of a young and successful businessman like Ramon Tordoff. "Why don't you think it is not worth it?"
"It is just a ring," Hailee replied simply, trying to sound casual. Actually, she was very fond of glittery jewelery and had interest in similar items. "Nobody would dare question me even if you gave me a wedding ring made of copper."
"I will not let my wife wear copper jewelery," Ramon casually replied as he downed his drink.
Hearing this, Hailee could feel her face turning red. She loved hearing words like that. "It's just a parable," Hailee grumbled in a low voice.
"After all, you will use it and the company will fall into my hands in the end, so you can't say I'm losing money." Ramon looked at Hailee with a smile on his lips. "It's like putting money from your left pocket into your right pocket."
"Ramon!" Hailee growled in annoyance. "Can you not just talk about business benefits all the time? I just fell in love with you after what you said, but a second later you made me regret it."
Somehow this comment made Ramon laugh. "Aren't you the one who should make me fall in love with you?" Ramon then stretched out his hand and tucked Hailee's hair which fell over the side of her face, so that he could see the girl's annoyed expression more clearly. "But, it seems so easy for you to fall in love with me, I don't even have to try."
Hailee pursed her lips. "Don't be too confident, Mr. Tordoff."
Ramon was about to say something when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Any call came to this number could be considered as an important call because only a few people knew this number including Hailee.
"Yes?" Ramon said and after that, he spent the next fifteen minutes talking about business matters.
On the other hand, Hailee wanted to wait until Ramon was done with his chat, but the man gave a sign asking her to eat first. Ramon didn't want Hailee to get sick again just because they ate late, as it would only be troublesome, besides, the food also wouldn't taste good when it turned cold.
And after waiting and Ramon didn't show any sign of finishing talking, Hailee decided to eat first.
The food that was served on their table was seafood, such as shellfish, crab and shrimp, which required using both hands to eat it.
Just when Hailee had just finished peeling the shrimp from the shell and was about to eat it, suddenly Ramon leaned forward, and without asking, devoured the shrimp.
Hailee was shocked and her heart fluttered as she felt Ramon's warm tongue brush her finger.
"Ramon!" Hailee exclaimed in a muffled voice when she saw the man, with a face without sin, enjoying the shrimp.
The same thing happened repeatedly, until finally Hailee decided to just feed this man, because she was a good wife, right?
It's just that, after Ramon enjoyed all the prawns Hailee gave him, this time the girl had another thought;
In the last bite, Hailee gave the shrimp skin to Ramon's mouth and laughed out loud when she witnessed the change of expression on Ramon's face when he realized what Hailee had given him.
He immediately took a tissue with a frown.
