Chapter 189: A SECRET

"Giana came to see me earlier," Ramon said in a calm voice, while gazing intensely at Hailee, trying to gauge the slightest change in his wife\'s expression upon hearing this confession.

At first, Hailee didn\'t give any meaningful reaction. She just sat on the couch and returned Ramon\'s gaze equally intensely, until a question escaped her lips. "So, that\'s the reason why you didn\'t pick up the phone from me or reply to my texts?"

Actually it wouldn\'t be right for Ramon to answer yes, because he had his own reasons why he couldn\'t pick up Hailee\'s phone at that time.

However, after all, that was one of the reasons. "Yes," replied Ramon. "Because we were in the middle conversation. She was about to tell me what happened two years ago."

Ramon was excellent at reading curves graphs and so on about business, but when it came to dealing with Hailee, especially in an emotional situation like this, Ramon was not very good at positioning himself or sorting out what to say or not.

"So, since Giana said she would tell you what happened between you two, you ignored my phone calls?" Hailee narrowed her eyes in disbelief. The worry and tiredness she felt now were mixed together and made her feel awkward.

It might be better for Ramon to let Hailee rest first or change into a more casual set of cloths before he dropped a confession bomb like this. However, again Ramon didn\'t really understand the situation.

Only now did he realize that he had taken the wrong step, but unfortunately he couldn\'t take that step back.

"You ignored a phone call from me right in front of Giana?" Hailee stood up from the sofa and walked slowly toward the man with gritted teeth, showing how annoyed she was.

How could Ramon do that after what Giana did to her?!

Even now, Hailee could imagine the petty smile of Giana, who felt that she had won because Ramon didn\'t pick up a phone call from his own wife and chose to talk to herself.

That snake woman should know herself better not to bother someone else\'s husband!

"I didn\'t pick up the call from you because I wanted to tell you directly," Ramon said in a much firmer voice. He felt that Hailee shouldn\'t react strongly like this to the honesty he was showing.

Ramon tried to be open with his wife and told her what really happened. However, seeing the anger in Hailee\'s eyes, he felt that those emotions shouldn\'t be directed at him.

Hailee was simply being unreasonable.

"You can pick up the phone from me!" Hailee growled. A feeling of tiredness enveloped her, but resentment surrounded her heart, which had been shrouded by anxiety all along.

Ramon frowned when he heard Hailee speak loudly to him. "What\'s next? Saying that I am talking to Giana?" He asked.

"Yes, you can say that!" Hailee exclaimed this time. She was now standing right in front of Ramon, staring at her husband with a sharp gaze.

"Then, what are you going to do?" Ramon did not even flinch witnessing Hailee\'s outburst, he folded his arms, showing a defensive attitude, even now he still didn\'t understand why Hailee had to have such a huge reaction when he tried not to cover anything up from her.

"Of course, I will go to her and slap her again so she understands to stop following someone else\'s husband!" Hailee was really mad at Ramon right now. Should this be asked? Of course, who could accept it if another woman tried to keep bothering their husband? There would be none!

Ramon narrowed his eyes, looking at Hailee calculatingly. His wife seemed too emotional to talk to at the moment. So, it would be better if this conversation was continued later when things cooled down and Hailee had calmed down too.

"Let\'s talk about this later," Ramon said as he walked toward the door, intending to go to his study, because this sudden argument made it impossible for him to sleep right away.

However, Hailee saw the steps being taken by Ramon in a different light. "Where are you going?" She hissed irritably as she watched Ramon walk away from her.

"We will talk about this when you get a lot calmer." Ramon was inclined to be logical, and he knew that in such a heated atmosphere, it was absolutely impossible to speak properly about what had happened between him and Giana. What were the two of them talking about, to be precise.

It\'s just that, Ramon forgot the fact that not everyone could think like him and in this situation, Hailee needed to be persuaded to understand. This was what did not cross his smart mind.

It could be said that this was their first serious bickering since they first met, even when Ramon found out about Hailee\'s identity, they didn\'t have this kind of fight.

"When I am much calmer?" Hailee repeated the sentence in a mocking tone, she could feel the irritation rising up in her chest and making her eyes feel hot. Ugh! Sometimes when you are ereally upset, you will feel like crying out of frustration! "Then where are you going?? To meet your lover Giana again?"

Hearing Hailee\'s statement, Ramon stopped walking and turned around to face his wife. From the expression on his usually emotionless face, Hailee could see Ramon showing his dislike for her comments.

It\'s just that, Hailee was too pissed off and she didn\'t care anymore.

"She is not my lover and you are my wife," said Ramon in a firm tone. "So, behave accordingly. You bear the name Tordoff and are in an environment that requires you to think more maturely." His voice sounded low, but clear enough in this quiet room. "So, stop being emotional or there will be many people who will take advantage of your weakness in the future."

After saying this, Ramon turned around and walked out of the room, leaving Hailee there alone, with the intention of letting his wife calm down and able to think better.

However, what Ramon was doing was making Hailee feel even more annoyed. She didn\'t believe it that Ramon would reprimand her that way. She then grabbed the pillow on the mattress and threw it toward the closed door, grumbling.

"Don\'t get too emotional!?" She shouted out in the now silent room. "How else do you think I have to face that woman?! You don\'t even like it when I go out with Ian, then you ask me to tolerate yourself!? Seriously!" Hailee felt this was unfair.

==============

Hailee sat quietly on her bed which felt so big because Ramon was not there. Two hours had passed since their argument and Ramon still hadn\'t returned to the room. He seemed to be still in his study, wrestling with documents that seemed like they would never run out for inspection.

At least, that\'s what Hailee saw twenty minutes ago when she sneaked down to the first floor to take a peek at Ramon in his study.

What a wonderful life it was, Hailee thought sarcastically, but then her irritation grew even more.

Ramon should have understood that the discussion about Giana was something that made Hailee very uncomfortable, and even though Ramon told her honestly and told her that he had met Giana earlier, knowing that Ramon had rejected her call right in front of Giana, made Hailee unable to imagine how arrogant that woman\'s expression would have been.

Actually that small fact was the main reason of her frustration… sometime woman tended to become very petty for the things that they didn\'t like.

It was a trivial matter that didn\'t need to be exaggerated, especially with the good intentions of Ramon who had told her honestly, but still, knowing the two of them had met behind her back, made Hailee feel uncomfortable and this feeling was very disturbing.

Especially now that Ramon was treating herself coldly because she was taking out her frustration earlier. Shouldn\'t Ramon calm her down? And persuade her?

As a woman, of course Hailee wanted to be persuaded while sulking like now.

It\'s just that, Ramon didn\'t seem to care about this and was even more concerned with his seemingly never- ending work.

Hailee knew that Ramon had a cold personality by nature. Even so, hadn\'t their relationship gotten a lot better and Ramon\'s attitude had started to warm up to her? Then why was this what happened?

Again, Hailee threw the pillow that was within her reach on the floor and grumbled.

She couldn\'t sleep feeling this irritated! Ramon was such a jerk!

Then roughly, Hailee pushed aside the blanket that covered her body and got out of their bed. She didn\'t want to sleep in this room!

Meanwhile, downstairs, Ramon was staring at his laptop screen with a sharp gaze, as if it had a very big speck on it.

He still felt that this attitude could be justified, but somehow he felt that something was stuck in his chest when Hailee\'s face came back into his mind.

The expression on Hailee\'s face that showed annoyance, anger and disappointment left Ramon unable to think clearly and it was quite puzzling, considering that he didn\'t usually act like this.

He knew that Hailee was secretly peeking at him from behind the door, and thought that the woman would come into the room and confront him again about the problem with Giana, but as it panned out, Hailee didn\'t do that. Instead, she turned away without saying a word to Ramon when she saw himself pretending to be busy with these documents on his desk.
