It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 7: A NEW IDENTITY

The sound of knocking at the door interrupted both daydreams… or Hailee's dream of what had happened just hours apart.

Hailee rubbed her face and her tired eyes, she didn't realize she had fallen asleep on this sofa.

"Hailee? Open the door. "

It was Ian's voice.

"Yes, just a moment," said Hailee in a hoarse voice, she looked at the clock which showed that it was already past midnight, it seemed that she had fallen asleep while waiting for Ian.

With unsteady steps and a dizzy head from sleep deprivation and tension that she had had to endure all this day, Hailee walked to the door and opened it.

Ian's body loomed over Hailee with his usual grin. Hailee could see some bruises on his face and cuts on his forehead and lips, but other than that Ian was fine.

And based on the twinkle in his eye, there was no need to ask for the certain because Hailee was willing to bet her fortune that Ian had won this fight again.

"Sleeping?" asked Ian, checking his face in the mirror.

"Yes, along with a nightmare," Hailee grumbled while huddling back on the sofa.

"How bad?" Ian asked, he placed a brown envelope on Hailee's lap. "Met a ghost?"

"A ghost would look really cute when compared to the two people I dreamed of," Hailee said grumpily, but a faint smile appeared on her lips when she sees the amount of money in the envelope Ian had given her earlier. It turned out that the three items of Roland were quite expensive too ...

On the other hand, Ian chuckled when he heard Hailee's answer. "You don't need to look at that kind of money with a look of amazement, the money left by your parents must be a lot more than that."

Hearing Ian's sentence, Hailee's mood dampened drastically, she put the money back in the envelope and put it in the jacket pocket safely.

"Inheritance?" Hailee snorted, but sadness was noticeably deep in her eyes. "Even the reading of the 'will' will only be done one week from now, and even if I receive my inheritance rights, what can I do with in a situation like this?"

Even though Hailee got the inheritance rights, of course she couldn't walk around freely to her house and exercise her rights. It was the same as committing suicide and exposing herself to a much greater danger. After all, Hailee had killed someone ...

This was one of her regrets. Not because that Hailee couldn't get a chance to enjoy these assets, but because she was not willing to let all these assets to fall into Aileen hands.

After all, Hailee would never be willing to give Aileen a dime of her parents' property, but things were implying something else and Hailee was in a difficult situation where she must fight to save herself first.

"We have to think about how to get back at Aileen first," Ian said angrily.

But, Hailee shook her head. "We can think about that later, what's on my mind right now is a shower, clean clothes and a comfortable bed," Hailee said wearily.

Seeing the pale Hailee, Ian immediately said. "I'll take a shower first, then we'll go to my house."

Hailee nodded and huddled back on the sofa, hugging the money envelope in her jacket pocket.

***

Hailee stayed for two days at Ian's not very big house. Because there is only one bedroom, Ian told Hailee to use it while he slept on the sofa in front of the television.

Actually it didn't matter to Ian, because at night he would be busy in the Arena and only came back at noon and spent his time in the house just sleeping before he had to leave again.

Sometimes Ian didn't even come home and stay at his friend's house just because it was so boring to be home alone.

But, this time, Ian came home early with Hailee.

Just as they were about to enter Ian's living place, the man firmly told her to cover her face.

After all, Hailee was a young woman and if she had to stay at Ian's house, it would give root to unfriendly rumors from the public busybodies.

It didn't matter to Ian, because he was a man, but Hailee was different, especially since her family was once well known as a diamond entrepreneur in the city of R.

Hailee obediently obeyed and covered her face with a hoodie and baseball cap as the two of them walked into Ian's house.

During these two days, Hailee did not leave the house at all and spent her time cleaning Ian's… hmm… quite messy house.

For food, Ian wouldn't forget to shop, an activity he's never done before, and go home and fill the refrigerator, which was almost always empty, with ingredients from which Hailee would whip some magic up, and turn them into the most delicious dish Ian had ever ate.

At first Ian was very skeptical of Hailee's cooking skills. The pampered daughter of a diamond entrepreneur, it was almost impossible for Hailee to cook anything more luxurious than an omelette.

However, reality said otherwise; Hailee was very good in this field.

Just like the previous day, Ian came home at ten o'clock. By that time, Hailee had finished preparing a simple three course meal consisting of fried shrimp, tofu soup and a bowl of hot noodles.

Even before Ian could completely open the door, he smelled this appetizing cooking aroma.

"Ah! It would be nice if this delicious food could greet me every day," Ian sighed as he chewed his fried shrimp and served himself another portion of rice.

Hailee just rolled her eyes when she heard this comment from her best friend, "So, find a girlfriend who can take care of you," said Hailee.

"A suggestion from someone who doesn't even have a boyfriend either," replied Ian, grinning as he stood up to get a cold water bottle from the refrigerator.

Hailee sneered, "You can't compare with me."

"Oh, yes! I almost forgot! " Ian exclaimed while slapping his forehead quite hard, he then put the water bottle on the table and reached into something from the jacket pocket, which he had slung on the back of the chair. "This."

Ian then put a brown envelope in front of Hailee.

Instinctively, Hailee opened it as soon as she got hold of it and found several documents and one identity.

These are the documents that Ian promised two days ago and it seemed they were completed earlier than expected.

Hailee then read the name on it. "Hailee Wolfe?"

Ian nodded and grinned, "Why? It's good, isn't it?" he said with a chuckle.
