It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 768: WHERE SHE LIVED

Daniel was so shocked when he heard how cold Kia was right now, she seemed to no longer care about anything and had completely abandoned her family.         

Hadn\'t she ever thought about going back? If it wasn\'t for this incident, they would never have seen each other again if Kia was so determined not to want to be with her family.     

There was one more thing that bothered Daniel, namely Kia\'s nonchalant attitude that made her look like a person who no longer had a heart for her family.     

"If you\'re angry, be angry," said Daniel. "I couldn\'t do anything at that time either, I was only twenty one years old. It was impossible for me to defend you back then."     

"So you mean it was okay for a nineteen year old to be dumped by her family?" she fired back.     

It was a very sarcastic question and took Daniel by surprise.     

But… why was Kia angry when she was the one who was wrong four years ago? She was the one who caused all these things to happen to herself.     

If only she had behaved better, then those four years wouldn\'t have been this difficult for her, right? She was the one who went looking for trouble for herself.     

"If you have nothing else to say, I\'ll go," Kia said in a firm voice. She was about to walk away when Daniel grabbed her arm again. "What more do you want? Your five minutes are up." Kia reminded him of it again, which made Daniel growl in annoyance.     

"Don\'t you have any intention of returning home? I\'ll talk to mom and dad so they can soften up and forgive you." Daniel still didn\'t want to let Kia go.     

"Didn\'t I tell you that I don\'t need their forgiveness?" Kia asked curtly. "You guys have done everything without me for the last four years, keep doing the same."     

"You\'re not seriously going to be my boss\' mistress, are you?" Daniel asked quickly because Kia seemed to be running away from that place as fast as possible.     

Ah… in the end, he only cared about his reputation. Was he now worried that Kia would say bad things about him and ruin the job and career he had built?     

After all, no one would want to get on Misha\'s bad side.     

"Stay cool. You don\'t have to worry about that. Let\'s pretend this never happened." Kia yanked her hand from Daniel\'s grip and walked away.     

Daniel wanted to hold her back, but he couldn\'t do that, because Misha was now staring at them and his stern and sharp gaze seemed to be telling him not to bother Kia again.     

And that gaze was able to make Daniel unable to step closer to his sister again.     

He could only see Kia walk toward the car, where Misha and Mika were waiting for her. Soon the car pulled out of the parking lot, disappearing around the corner, but Daniel was still standing there, until his mother came up to him and woke him from his daydream.     

"What is it? What happened?" Amber asked when she found Daniel standing there alone. "Where\'s Kia?"     

Amber heard about Kia\'s whereabouts too late, as Lyle had just told her what really happened after Alia\'s condition got better.     

How shocked Amber was when she heard that they had met Kia and her child. And without her knowing it, she had run out of the ward looking for Kia.     

"Where\'s Kia?" asked Amber as she shook Daniel and looked around frantically.     

She wanted to meet her daughter whom she had not seen in years. For some reason, Amber recently thought of Kia and reminisced about all the events that happened in their house and it made her uneasy.     

It seemed that, for as long as she could remember, Kia had done everything for the family and they had only provided the bare minimum for her.     

Kia\'s presence was not felt in the house at all, not only because of what happened four years ago, but long before that.     

"Daniel! Answer quickly!" cried Amber, annoyed that Daniel didn\'t answer her question and just stared at her with aimless eyes.         

"She\'s gone mom," Daniel answered at last. "She just left."     

Hearing that, Amber looked surprised. She then blinked her eyes, digesting the information, before she asked again. "When will she be back?"     

In fact, Amber could sense that the question was pointless, because she knew what Daniel\'s answer would be. "She\'s going to visit Alia, isn\'t she? She\'s her sister too." However, Amber clung to that slim hope.     

Daniel shook his head slowly. "No, she didn\'t say anything."     

"But she must be back again, right?" Amber released her grip on Daniel and looked at him very seriously. "Did you upset her so she doesn\'t want to come back again?"     

"I didn\'t say or do anything." rejected Daniel. He could see how upset his mother was and his voice softened, persuading her to calm down. "Shall we go back inside and see how Alia is again?"     

Amber looked doubtful. She had run out in a hurry because she thought she could meet Kia, but there was no denying that she was very disappointed right now. "Okay."     

========================      

On the way home, Misha kept glancing in the rear view mirror. Kia was sitting in the back seat together with Mika who was sleeping soundly.     

There was no chatter the entire way back home.     

The trip that should have ended hours ago because they only intended to do monthly shopping turned out to be an unpleasant day for Kia, not only that, from the conversation between Kia and Daniel, Misha could conclude that it made Kia feel even more uncomfortable.     

"Misha," Kia finally called after a long silence enveloped the car. "I hope you don\'t interfere in this matter."     

At first glance, it was just a request that sounded arrogant, but actually there was another meaning behind the sentence.     

Of course, Kia already knew that Daniel worked for Tordoffs and given his attitude today, it wasn\'t impossible that Misha would take this matter into his own hands and take it out on Daniel at work.     

After all, he was capable of doing such a thing and that was what Kia was worried about.     

"Of course," Misha replied firmly. "Is there anything else you want?" he asked. In other words, he agreed not to make things difficult for Daniel at their workplace.     

"There isn\'t any." Kia shook her head. "I want to be alone."     

Which meant that Misha was kicked out of the apartment again, because she didn\'t have the energy to face him.     

And this time, Misha didn\'t say anything and just agreed to it. He nodded.     

============================     

After not being able to meet Kia, Amber returned to the ward to accompany Alia and only then realized that this was a VVIP room that they wouldn\'t be able to afford for a long time.     

This room was too good for their financial budget. If Alia was in this place any longer, then it would drain their savings as well.     

"Shouldn\'t we move Alia to a regular room?" Amber asked Lyle. She looked around the room, for this was the first time she had realized this. "We have to think about spending on this."     

But, Lyle shook his head. "Mr. Tordoff paid for Alia\'s entire care. We can\'t just move her."     

"What?" Amber was surprised because she did not expect that Misha Tordoff would be involved. "How did Mr. Tordoff can pay for all this?" she asked confusedly. "How did he know that Alia was sick?"         

Lyle looked confused in telling this, earlier when he told the whereabouts of Kia and her daughter and how they met at the shopping center, he purposely omitted the fact that Misha was there too.     

"What is it?" asked Amber quickly. Because she sensed that there was something odd about Lyle\'s attitude when it came to Misha Tordoff.     

"I think Kia is getting close to Misha Tordoff right now." Lyle couldn\'t hide this, while Amber tried to digest it.     

"Isn\'t that a good thing? She could meet someone as great as Misha Tordoff?" Amber looked happy, her eyes glowed when she talked about it.     

However, Lyle had his own point of view. "No, of course not." He shook his head vigorously. "Don\'t you know what that means?"     

Amber frowned, not understanding Lyle\'s reaction. Why wouldn\'t he be happy that their daughter had a relationship with a gentleman like Misha Tordoff?     

He even paid for Alia\'s treatment.     

However, Lyle said that what Kia did was outrageous. She shouldn\'t be after someone like Misha Tordoff. It was not very good for her later, especially when she had given birth to a child out of wedlock.     

"Don\'t you think that the Tordoffs will accept Kia? Especially when she has a child out of wedlock with another man?" Lyla massaged his aching head. "That would only make her look bad and who knows what she\'s going to do after this, what if she makes a fuss in the Tordoffs? It would have an effect on Daniel too. What if Kia was just being toyed with?"     

Amber thought about it for a moment. "But, I don\'t think someone like Misha Tordoff would be toying with Kia…"     

Amber got that impression after their dinner together and just at that moment, Daniel came into the room.     

"Daniel, can you find out where Kia lives? Mother wants to visit her."     

"I don\'t know where she lives."     

"You can ask Mr. Tordoff. I\'m sure he\'ll tell you."
