It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife! Novel

Chapter 14 - KISS ME


Hailee turned her gaze around the room; staring at the ceiling of the nursing room, staring at every piece of furniture there, staring at the large window covered in white curtains, staring at the abstract painting that seemed luxurious on display on one of the walls, staring at the infusion tube that was now running low, which reminded Hailee that she was actually in a hospital now and not a hotel.

Hailee looked everywhere except at the man in front of her, the man who was fed by her the pieces of apple she had just cut.

“Why are you avoiding looking at me?” Ramon’s deep voice takes Hailee by surprise, her mind was in the sky, thinking a thousand things at the same time.

“Hah?” Hailee turned her head to find Ramon’s piercing eyes looking at her skeptically. “No,” lied Hailee, lowering her face to avoid looking at this man once again.

Either this was for better for Hailee’s current situation or not, but reports regarding the diagnosis of the doctor who treated him, said that Ramon was suffering from amnesia. This was still an early diagnosis and more tests were needed to find out more about how severe Ramon’s amnesia was.

And in Ramon’s case, he had lost his memory for the past four years.

“Look at me,” demanded Ramon in a cold voice, and when Hailee ignored his request and was more interested in staring at the tips of her toes, Ramon reached out and pinched Hailee’s chin between his thumb and index finger. “Are you really my lover?”

Hailee nodded. She was determined to take advantage of the situation, clinging to her ‘accidental’ first lie.

Hailee didn’t have any evil intentions at all, she just needed a place to take cover.

This was the fourth day since Ramon had regained consciousness and had no recollection of any events during the last four years of his life.

And yesterday, Hailee thought about leaving again, moving away from the Tordoffs in hopes that she could carry out her original plan; disappear from the country and go into hiding until the murder case against Roland Dimatrio was over and became a forgotten case.

But, again, reality wasn’t on Hailee’s side.

Just as the girl was about to step out of the lobby of the hospital, she saw Alex, who was on guard there, aiming to recapture her right after she stepped out of the hospital.

If it weren’t for Taylor, it was certain, Hailee wouldn’t be in this room. She must have been behind one of the prison cells, with no chance of seeing the sun again.

That was when Hailee decided; that being among the Tordoffs would be much safer for her until she could find another way out of the clutches of the Dimatrio men.

Hailee just hoped that Lis and Taylor wouldn’t get suspicious because Alex was following her all the time.

“Answer,” Ramon squinted at Hailee, unsure of her answer.

“Yes,” Hailee swallowed her saliva with difficulty, trying to suppress the panic rising in her chest at having to lie under Ramon’s probing gaze. “Yes, I am your lover.”

Ramon didn’t say anything for a moment, but his eyes still wouldn’t leave Hailee’s face.

“Prove that you are my lover,” Ramon said in a low voice, but that was enough to make Hailee shudder.

Hailee again avoided Ramon’s gaze and chose to stare at the ceiling of this nursing room, as if the view of the Crystal chandelier up there was far more attractive than the handsome heir of the Tordoffs before her.

“What do you want me to do to prove it?” Hailee was grateful that her voice wasn’t as shaky as she thought it would be and sounded much more convincing, at least that was what Hailee thought, but not Ramon.

Ramon did not immediately answer Hailee’s words, he stared at this girl more deeply, but a moment later he released his grip on Hailee’s chin and adjusted his seat on the bed.

Hailee released a sigh of relief internally, hoping that Ramon will give up in his quest to prove that Hailee was actually lying.

It was very easy for Hailee to convince Lis and Lexus that she was Ramon’s fiancé, even though Ramon himself said that he didn’t know Hailee at all.

Of course Ramon didn’t know his girlfriend, their relationship was only two years old while Ramon forgot all the events from the past four years in his life, so it was only natural that he couldn’t remember about Hailee.

With the consideration that one day Ramon would regain his memories, Lis still agreed to Hailee and Ramon’s relationship, even though previously she was very much against it.

“Kiss me,” Ramon said lightly, tilting his head with a mocking smile.

“What?” Hailee was startled, her eyes rounded, this time she stared at Ramon openly.

“Why?” Ramon was smiling, as if he had managed to get the reaction he had expected from Hailee. “If our relationship has been going on for two years, then surely we have kissed before, right? Or maybe we’ve even done something more than that. ”

This time Ramon teased Hailee by tracing the girl’s jaw, then playing with her long hair, while Hailee couldn’t say anything as if she had turned mute all of a sudden.

“Why are you surprised?” Ramon tucked Hailee’s hair behind her ear and could see that this girl was trying to stay away from his touch. “I don’t remember anything, so tell me have we ever had any further physical contact?”

Hailee shook her head quickly. “Of course not,” she said quickly and felt her breath getting out of control with panic attacks.

Ramon nodded, as if he agreed with Hailee’s words. “Looks like I’m gentleman enough not to touch you.” There was a sly smile forming on his lips which were still slightly pale. “But, you wouldn’t say that we never kissed, right? Because I won’t believe it.”

Of course! Who would believe that in their two years of relationship, they never did things like that? After all, Ramon was a normal man.

But, the thing was; it wasn’t Hailee who had this relationship with Ramon!

“So?” Ramon smiled, so cute that it made Hailee forget that this man was testing her.

“Of course…” Hailee stammered, “… we have.” She was in a dilemma now, as she could guess what Ramon’s next sentence would be.

“Kiss me.” Ramon leaned forward so that there was only a few inches gap left between them. His warm breath, brushed Hailee’s cheek. “And I’ll find out if you’re really my woman or not,” he whispered.

Hailee was stunned when Ramon moved closer to her.
