It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 726: THE WEDDING

His gift of baby shoes was indeed cute, but it was not at all ideal as a congratulatory gift on the occasion of her pregnancy or marriage, they were two big yet separate events and not to mention, Ivan earned quite a bit of money for causing trouble in Apple's life.     

"Look? Who is being stingy here?" Ivan snorted, but then he paid for Apple's drink.     

And after that, Ivan walked to Apple. He gave her a hug and once again apologized for his actions earnestly.     

"Hope you have a good marriage and then some beautiful children, it will be easier for me to follow your life," said Ivan. Through the media, he would know the news about Apple and Jayden.     

"Hopefully you will get better in your new place," Apple said. She hugged him back tightly.     

Only then did he move away from there and Apple watched him leave until she couldn't be seen anymore.     

"Okay, let's go back." Apple turned to talk to Adrian and Danny, but there was another man sitting there. "How long have you been there?" asked Apple, not believing what she was seeing right now. This man really was here…     

"Since an hour ago," Jayden replied, leaning his back against the back of the sofa and folding his arms arrogantly. "I am right here when he gave you those baby shoes. What did he say? That it was a gift for your wedding and pregnancy? Your friend is really stingy."     

Ops. It seemed like Jayden's ears were very sharp for him to be able to hear their conversation earlier and Apple had to admit that she also agreed with what Jayden just said about this gift.     

"So you can't meet me, but can meet another man instead?" Jayden said. He looked annoyed at his future wife. "And you even hugged him earlier?"     

Jayden immediately drove his car and came straight here when he got a message from Gladys that Apple went out to meet a guy named Ivan.     

Of course, Jayden knew who Ivan was, but that didn't mean he would like the closeness of the two of them, now he was getting a little annoyed by what the two of them had done earlier.     

At a time like this, Adrian and Danny knew that it was time for them to disappear from the scene and wait in a safe place, because the two of them could argue for quite a while.     

And when Adrian and Danny had slipped away, Apple then approached Jayden and kissed him on the cheek, making him stop sulking, but of course that didn't quite work.     

"This will be the last time I see him, if you had listened earlier, you would have known by the conversation I had with him, right?" Apple was still wondering how Jayden got here. But the main question was; how could she notice him only now?     

"Yeah, I heard, but still, he held you for a very long time," Jayden grumbled. "Two minutes and twenty-three seconds to be precise. He hugged you all that time."     

The corners of Apple's lips twitched when she heard that. Seriously? "You timed it?" What a strange man...     

"Of course," Jayden said grumpily. "If they forbid me to meet you, then they should also forbid you to meet other men, that's only fair and after all..."     

But, Jayden didn't have time to finish his sentence as Apple had hugged him tightly.     

"Now start timing," she said. If Jayden took issue with her hugging back Ivan for those two minutes and twenty-three seconds, then she just needed to hug this cranky guy a little longer, right?     

========================      

Finally, the long awaited day had arrived, on which Apple would walk down the aisle with her father while Jack would be the ring bearer for them later.     

And right now, Apple was in the dressing room, where four people helped with the preparations, while Gladys was also there in a light blue dress that looked so perfect on her. She looked beautiful and very charming.     

However, this girl was constantly praising Apple and staring at her in amazement until she blushed.     

"Oh, Apple, you should see for yourself, you're so beautiful, Jayden is really lucky to have a wife like you!" she said excitedly and the other four women who were also there, they couldn't stop praising her, especially when finally Apple's hairdo was done and she put on her tiara. "Oh! Do you realize that you are so beautiful?!"         

Apple grimaced when she saw Gladys jumping up and down on her high heels.     

"Stop that," muttered Apple, feeling bad for receiving so much praise.     

"Why? Are you shy? I'm just telling the truth. Jayden would definitely agree with me." She smirked meaningfully and Apple couldn't say anything.     

Misha should have been here and taken this fussy girl away, it seemed only the coldness of the man could make Gladys a little complacent.     

"You shouldn't be here," Apple said.     

"So, if I am not supposed to be here, where should I be?" asked Gladys giggling, she was holding her phone and was recording Apple now.     

Apple knew where the footage would go, because this wasn't the first time Jayden had behaved this way and oddly enough, Gladys was always willing to do what Jayden wanted, even though on the outside it seemed they never got along.     

"How much did Jayden actually pay you to do this?" asked Apple curiously.     

"Of course I'm not being paid to do this," Gladys grumbled. "He threatened me so I couldn't refuse his request," she grumbled again.     

"Threaten?" Apple frowned.     

"Didn't Jayden tell you this?" Gladys then told Apple and tried to win her sympathy because Jayden certainly wasn't going to listen to her.     

"So when you really shouldn't be on the island, you brought your friends and booked a lot of rooms at the resort?" asked Apple just to make sure they were on the same page.     

"Something like that…" Gladys said shyly. She then looked at Apple with a meaningful smile on her lips. "And Jayden just had to use that to blackmail me…"     

Apple narrowed her eyes when she heard that. "You deserve it," she grumbled.     

"Apple, you are so mean…." whined Gladys.     

And in the end, Apple finally finished getting ready and by that time, Hailee had already made Gladys leave the fitting room while her future mother-in-law accompanied Apple there.     

"How do you feel?" asked Hailee with a smile on her lips, she looked very beautiful in her gold dress that fitted perfectly on her still beautiful body. "Are you nervous?"     

"A little," Apple said, trying to mask her nervousness.     

"Are you feeling dizzy or unwell?" she asked again, worried about Apple's pregnancy.     

"I'm fine, mom," Apple reassured Hailee, who then helped her lead her to the door, where her father and Jack were waiting.     

"Wow! Big sister is so pretty!" said Jack in his still childish and innocent voice. After he started living with Pyro, he didn't look for his mother at all, he even looked much happier with the man who was teaching him many things.     

"Thank you," replied Apple then lowered her head and landed a kiss on his soft cheek and then looked at her father who was standing beside the boy with a face that looked like he was about to cry. "Don't cry now," Apple warned Pyro.     

"Of course not, there's no way I'm going to cry," Pyro grumbled, while he was clearly trying to hold back his tears.     

"You're really sweet, Pyro," said Hailee which made the man a little annoyed.     

"I'm not crying," he insisted again, he looked at Hailee a little fiercely, but this only made her laugh even harder.         

"Okay, okay…" Hailee said patiently in the face of Pyro's temperamental attitude.     

After that, Apple wrapped her arm around Pyro's arm before whispering softly to her father. "Don't let me fall," she said because she felt this dress was too long and with her carelessness there was always the possibility of her falling by stepping on her own dress.     

Because this wedding was semi-private, only the closest kin were invited and the total of all invited guests was only forty-two people.     

This number could be considered very small considering that the Tordoff family was very large, but of course because of that, the wedding ceremony this time became much more sacred.     

"Of course, I will never let you fall," said Pyro coupled with his trademark smile, he then took Apple's hand and began to lead her down the aisle, where Jayden was waiting for his bride.     

He stood there in an attire that made him look much more handsome than usual, while Misha stood beside him.     

Meanwhile, Apple felt her heart beat faster when she saw Jayden. There were many things she was afraid and worried about, but this time, by looking at the man's face, Apple felt that she could finally calm down.     

For some reason, her steps became lighter as she drew closer to Jayden, especially when she saw him smiling like that.     

It felt like all her worries, fears and doubts were slowly fading away.     

Apple felt very confident in this man, with the little family they would build together after this and even though the future was uncertain, Apple knew that she would be okay, because they would face it together. She would not be alone.
