It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 697: WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?

"Hey, if you don\'t wake up, I\'m going to have a hard time moving," Apple muttered as she looked at the clock on the wall, which indicated that it was almost lunch time.         

All she ate this morning was a single serving of calamari after a long stressful night, no wonder she was feeling so hungry right now.     

She didn\'t know what time Jayden came back, but for sure, he came back after Apple had fallen asleep, so she didn\'t know he was already back.     

But, she couldn\'t be faulted either, because Apple hadn\'t slept all night and she felt sleepy even now.     

If it weren\'t for her feeling so starved, it was certain that she would still continue sleeping now.     

"Jayden..." Apple called while shaking Jayden\'s body again, trying to wake him up, because she couldn\'t get himself off.     

In the end, Apple gave in and went back to sleep beside Jayden. She would wait up to an hour, if he didn\'t wake up even then or let go of his arms, then she would kick Jayden down the bed.     

But, Jayden didn\'t change his sleeping position in the next hour either.     

Therefore, in the next hour, all Apple could do was stare at Jayden\'s sleeping face. His face looked tired, he was also snoring softly, it seemed like he slept very soundly so he felt so comfortable now.     

Apple then reached out and touched the man\'s face, traced her finger on the side of his face, followed his jawline and then smiled very sweetly when she imagined that there was a little version of Jayden in her womb.     

Well, a small version of her and Jayden to be exact.     

Apple then started imagining what their child would look like… she wasn\'t sure, but if this had happened in the past, maybe Apple wouldn\'t even want to spend a second just imagining these kinds of things, but this time, for some reason, she felt very happy and delighted to imagine such a thing.     

Ugh.     

Apple felt very calm because her child would have a father like Jayden. She couldn\'t possibly ask for more when she had this man. This man had more than enough of what Apple expected from a partner.     

"Hey, I love you," Apple whispered to him, which of course didn\'t get any response from Jayden, except for his soft snoring and this made Apple giggle joyfully.     

This was the best place she could be, in his arms…     

=========================      

Several weeks had passed since the ambush carried out by Jayden with the assistance of Damian, his uncle, at the harbor. All the media reported about it.     

The case that had previously been covered up had come into the limelight again and this of course had a huge effect on the Gevano family.     

Meanwhile, there was not a single report that mentioned Jayden Tordoff\'s involvement in the night raid at the harbor.     

They made it seem as if the ambush was a mission from Damian\'s team alone and there was no outside involvement in the mission.     

Apple knew it was because of Jayden\'s request. He didn\'t want to be exposed to the media in the light of the case and was only willing to come forward as a witness as was his role during the first reporting.     

\'I don\'t want the media to highlight me, because I want to focus on you and our children and our wedding preparations later.\'     

That was the reason Jayden gave when Apple asked about it.     

As for Apple, she didn\'t want him to get too involved in that matter either. After all, this case would be finished in no time, seeing the evidence that Jayden had collected so far was absolutely undeniable. Therefore, Apple just wanted to focus on her pregnancy.     

In the future, Jayden wanted Apple to live in an apartment near the joint office with her. After all, they were about to start a new family, and therefore, sooner or later, they would be living together.         

Of course the one who wasn\'t happy about that was Pyro, he didn\'t say he didn\'t agree, but he looked sulking the last few days before Apple\'s move to Jayden\'s apartment. He looked more mellow than usual.     

"Dad, if you keep making a face like that, I\'ll always be thinking about it even if I eventually move out of this house," Apple grumbled when she saw her father\'s sad face again.     

Pyro looked at Apple then sighed and looked at her again and sighed again. Such gestures that just kept on pissing her off.     

"What really happened?" Apple was irritable at her father. what did he really want?     

"I just didn\'t expect you to grow so fast," said Pyro.     

She didn\'t know what happened, but it looked like her father was having some sort of crisis. "Do you want me to be small all the time? Don\'t you remember how it was when I was little?" asked Apple as she sat down next to her father.     

Pyro then looked at Apple and frowned as he recalled Apple\'s childhood, his forehead furrowed deeply.     

"What kind of expression is that?!" Apple grumbled as she lightly slapped her father\'s arm.     

"Not really… I don\'t want to take care of you if you went back to being little anymore," he said with his nose scrunched up, as if it was an unpleasant memory.     

Only, while Apple was calming down her childish father, she heard voices rising outside, like the bodyguards discussing something rather loudly.     

Even when Apple was ready to leave this house and the problems with Gevano were almost over and Pyro was about to retire, Jayden insisted on keeping bodyguards around this house because Pyro was his father-in-law now and of course his safety was a priority.     

Of course, Jayden said that only to annoy Pyro.     

"I\'ll see what\'s happening out there," said Apple, who then stood up and hurried out of the house to check what was going on.     

There, on her porch, she saw Gabriel and Noah talking to a boy around the age of eight.     

"What is this?" Apple asked them both.
