It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 699: HE CAN STAY HERE

It was understandable why this little boy was called Jack Daniels, given the fact that her mother gave her the name Apple, then anything could be possible if it was left in her mother's hands.         

    

"So…" Apple frowned, all the information she had matched and it was time to draw a conclusion that wasn't difficult at all. "You are my step brother?"     

Apple really wanted to facepalm herself.     

Because Apple did not respond, her mother became desperate and sent her younger brother straight home and left him alone.     

Her mother had indeed come a few days ago to tell her that she had an eight-year-old brother and to ask Apple to nurture a relationship with him.     

But, after that, her mother couldn't get close to Apple and just sent her a message that Apple never opened and it seemed that this frustrated her mother enough and made her take this path to attract Apple's attention.     

But, how could that woman leave her son alone? While she didn't know where she was now.     

"What did your mother tell you before she left?" Pyro asked calmly, it seemed he was used to dealing with the strange nature of his daughter's mother so he was no longer surprised to see events like this.     

"Mom said…. Mom said…" Jack looked hesitant when he was about to tell him what his mother had told him, occasionally he would look at Apple, then Pyro and three others. "Mom said that she doesn't have money anymore to take care of me and I was asked to come to Sis Apple's place."     

Jack didn't want to come to a stranger's house, especially since he didn't know anyone there, but since his mother said the place he was going was his sister's house, Jack finally wanted to come too.     

And besides, his mom said that there would be lots of delicious food at his sister's place, and that he could eat to his heart's content.     

"When was the last time you ate?" Pyro frowned when he heard Jack's short chatter. He then looked at Apple sweetly, making her hate the little brother she had never met in her life.     

"Hm… it was yesterday afternoon…" Jack replied shyly.     

Hearing this answer, Apple closed her eyes, trying to contain the irritation that was starting to eat away at her patience.     

She knew very well what that meant, because before she came to live with her father, Apple had been in Jack's shoes too.     

"Then let's stop the questioning for now." Apple then stood up and invited Jack to go along with her. "Let's eat first before any questions are asked."     

Jack looked doubtful. He was almost like a malnourished child and Apple wondered, did she also look like that after she was let go by her cruel mother?     

She became curious, but then, she didn't want to remember those times and preferred to remain silent.     

Meanwhile, Jack looked at Apple doubtfully, especially her outstretched hand, but it seemed that his older sister was not the patient type. She actually grabbed Jack's hand as the boy didn't respond and just stared at her silently.     

Was this his true nature? Quiet type? Or all this was a result of her mother and her lover's treatment.     

Apple became clueless as to what her mother really meant by leaving Jack here like this. But, of course, the only thing that could possibly be an excuse was; money.     

Regardless, the main reason her mother did this was none other than money. Because everything revolved around money.     

In the end, Apple prepared food for Jack and also let him eat in peace, but before that, she realized one thing that made her so annoyed with her mother.     

When Apple was still living with her mother, she always made Apple wait before eating, because she couldn't eat until her mother had eaten and the same was the case with Jack.     

"I've eaten, Dad has eaten too, so you don't have to wait, you can eat now," Apple said as she handed Jack a bowl of rice. "If you feel it's still not enough, you can serve yourself."     

In the past, Apple had been in Jack's position where she was forbidden to eat before everyone else had eaten.         

    

Because her mother always said that she didn't work, that was why, the food was only for those who brought money home and brought food home.     

Jack nodded with a small smile at Apple and started eating.     

"I'll leave you here alone for a bit," Apple said, then she walked out of the kitchen and met her father who was still with the three bodyguards on the terrace.     

Gabriel then reported what information he had gathered, although not much and more or less Apple already knew about it.     

"So, what are you going to do with the kid?" Pyro asked when he saw Apple.     

"More important than what I'm about to do to the child is; what do you think she means by sending the child here," Apple said firmly. "You don't think it's just because mom wants me to take responsibility for him, do you?"     

They couldn't have thought that Nadia would just put Jack in this house without any other purpose, could they?     

There was no way things could be that easy and Nadia wasn't that kind of good at not making things even more complicated, because that was one of her skills.     

"It's not," Pyro muttered. He didn't regret meeting Nadia, because he was able to get Apple and he was grateful that this girl was growing up well and not at all like her mother.     

But, still, Nadia continued to be a scourge in their lives and now she was forcing her son to come to this house after she failed to gain sympathy from Apple.     

"Soon Nadia will contact you, we'll just have to wait for what she wants. And in the meantime, the child can stay here with me," said Pyro.
