It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 780: TONIGHT

Keira informed Mika that Kia would be away for about a week and this could be said to be the longest time for Kia to leave her daughter, therefore, this must be difficult for both of them.         

    

"How long is one week?" Mika asked with an innocent expression on her face while blinking her eyes in confusion, because she still didn't understand the concept of time.     

Keira was ponytailing Mika's thick and black hair. Even though she was only three years old, her hair was very thick and beautiful, thus, Keira was more than very happy to do this.     

"One week… means seven days." Keira tilted her head, slightly confused about explaining this to her. "Hm, seven times you sleep at night, then mama will come home."     

"Seven times?" Mika repeated it with a cute expression. She raised one hand and spread her five fingers then raised the other one and pointed two fingers, then counted them. "It's seven?" she asked earnestly.     

"Yeah, that's seven," said Keira with sparkling eyes because she was proud of this little girl's intelligence.     

But, after Keira confirmed this, Mika actually cried. She hugged Keira tightly and cried until she was hyperventilated.     

"That's too long..." she said between sobs. Keira then hugged the little girl while kissing her forehead. "I want my mom now…"      

"Ah…" Keira looked confused as she tried to persuade Mika to calm down, but this little girl was inconsolable. "How about we call mama everyday, a video call before bed?" Keira persuaded.     

If Kia had known Mika was going to cry like this, she definitely wouldn't have attended a party that didn't allow her to bring small children.     

This must also be a consideration for Kia when she was so hesitant to accept Misha's offer.     

======================      

"Is there something on my face?" Kia asked with a furrowed brow. She felt a little uncomfortable with the way Misha was looking at her so intensely, as if there was something wrong with her makeup or her appearance.     

"There is beauty on your face," Misha said smoothly, but this made Kia make a displeased expression. She snorted and wrinkled her nose, as if she had just heard something unpleasant.     

"I'll pretend you didn't say anything," Kia said in a low voice, which only made Misha laugh because she wasn't taking his words seriously.     

"But, I'm serious, can't you see the people around you? They are all looking at you, they are fascinated by you," Misha said in a low voice and sounded very deep, as if he was trying to seduce Kia with his voice alone.     

However, this only made Kia even more suspicious, because Misha was not someone who would talk like this.     

"Where did you learn those utterly distasteful pick up lines?" Kia asked coldly.     

Right now, the two of them were dancing, along with the dozens of members of the Tordoff family who had come with their respective partners.     

The dancing floor was in the middle of a beautiful garden. With the moonlight above them and the stars scattered in the night sky, it was so bright tonight that the ball was even more extraordinary.     

Kia didn't think that she would ever be in a place like this. She had even forgotten the last time she could enjoy the atmosphere, eat comfortably without thinking about the expenses she had to cover, or sleep peacefully without thinking about whether she had enough money to welcome the following week.     

Kia could only keep worrying about everything, especially when Mika started drinking formula because she couldn't exclusively breastfeed, of course the money she had to spend made her cry every night, feeling guilty for bringing her child into this world and making her life difficult.     

Luckily, she met Keira and she was the only friend who stuck with her and continued to help her until now. Kia was really grateful to her for that.     

"Richard taught me," Misha said honestly. "Didn't it work?" He had never had to try and pursue a woman before, because when he showed even the slightest bit of interest, it was the woman who came to him.     

Therefore, he never paid attention to what he had to say or do, because those women did not need to be forced to live with him.     

"You should stop listening to what he has to say," Kia said with a frown. The longer it went on, the weirder what Richard taught him got, to the point that it didn't make any sense.         

    

"Okay," Misha said, casually, which left Kia even more surprised.     

Was this man in front of her really Misha Tordoff? He looked much different from the man in her memory.     

But, Kia didn't mind this because tonight's party and the garden were so beautiful and it was a shame to not enjoy it just to think about unnecessary things.     

During the party and before the dance was over, even though Kia couldn't actually follow Misha's movements, she stepped on his feet a few times, well… There were some moments she accidentally stepped on while some she stepped on on purpose because Misha spoke the words he learned from Richard and pissed her off.     

"Try this," Misha said as he placed the meat on Kia's plate, which made the girl glare at him. "You don't like it? Shall I get another dish?"     

This was what Misha did during this dinner, he didn't stop putting various kinds of food on her plate and forcing her to eat them all, because Misha thought she was too pale from working too hard. She needed more energy according to him.     

"I need more energy, but that doesn't mean my stomach capacity is getting any bigger," Kia grumbled.     

And after that, the dinner and the dance went well, as Misha had promised her that no one would bug her and he proved it.     

He was always beside Kia and if anyone wanted to have a chat with her, he would answer it for her and end the conversation briefly. He seemed to have become very good at keeping conversations short.     

The problems actually arose after; when they were going to sleep and since the guests attended the event were all couples, they were arranged to sleep in the same room.     

Kia didn't notice this until Misha put all her things in their assigned room.     

"The bed is big, you wouldn't roll over to my side even if you wanted to," Misha said when he saw the look on Kia's face.     

"I won't roll over to your side of the bed," Kia grumbled with a sour face.     

This bed was indeed very large. It would not feel cramped even if three people were to sleep on it. It seemed that this mattress was specially ordered.     

"Okay, I won't think about it," said Misha. He then walked toward the bathroom, taking off his clothes.     

"Can't you just take off your clothes in the bathroom?" Kia looked fiercely at Misha. She looked at the shameless man who threw his shirt on the sofa and walked around shirtless. What was really going on in his sly mind?     

Misha who heard this only glanced at Kia with an innocent look and then said quietly. "I'm used to doing it like this, if you don't like looking at my body, you can take a look out there from the balcony," Misha replied lightly, which made Kia's face turn red.     

"I didn't look at your body," Kia growled. She was starting to regret coming to this place. She should have known that they weren't compatible with each other.     

On the other hand, Misha smiled when he saw how Kia looked away and didn't want to see himself. She walked toward the balcony he suggested and took in the view from there.     

Now, Kia had let down her hair and her black hair that tumbled past her shoulders was blown away by the night breeze, revealing her beautiful shoulders. She was still wearing the dress she wore to the party earlier, so the silhouette of her from behind looked very stunning.     

Unconsciously, as if hypnotized, Misha walked closer to Kia and hugged her from behind, surprising the girl, especially when Misha kissed her on the shoulder.     

Kia wanted to scream and scold the man, but when she turned her body and was about to snap at him, she happened to look into Misha's eyes which looked very intense and hot and in that instant, she forgot what she wanted to say.     

She felt like she fell under his spell...     

"Misha…" Kia called his name. She tried to push his body away, but when her palms touched Misha's naked chest and felt how hot this man's body was, Kia felt her tongue go numb and she couldn't say anything else. She swallowed hard and tried to keep her brain working properly.     

"Hmm?" Misha muttered, staring at Kia's trembling lips. He leaned in slowly.         

    

This set off the alarms inside Kia's head and she kept thinking of pushing him away, only, she couldn't do that. She felt that she had returned to her nineteen year old self, the one who was so gullible and knew nothing about this world.     

Kia pursed her lips, but when she felt Misha's hot breath brush against her face, she felt lulled and didn't remember anything anymore. Was it because of the alcohol she drank earlier?     

Kia couldn't think straight, her palms were burning from touching Misha's skin and how he approached her ever so gently and carefully made her defenses collapse.
