My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Two days later, Jonathan was still as busy in the office as always. He was close to wrapping things up and had informed everyone of his planned leave.

Despite the grueling work, the employees were happy knowing that their boss was going to come back happy, and hopefully, they would get some bonus if his relationship with their lady boss improved.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

On the other hand, Liam came back from his out-of-town mission only to find his family praising Kyle and his mother, while Kyle was nowhere to be found.

“Where is Kyle?” He asked his grandmother.

“Jonathan Smith came to pick him up and said that he was taking away his godson,” Madam Preston said gloatingly.

While she disdained her relatives as they fawned at power and switched lanes faster than F1 drivers, she was nonetheless happy that her great-grandson would no longer be bullied.

Kyle was bound to meet a lot of fake friends and fake relatives in life, so this change did not distraught her much, as it was necessary learning for him.

“You did not tell me you were friends with the Smiths,” she asked curiously.

Everyone held their breath waiting for Liam’s answer.

Knowing that Kyle was with Liliana, Liam was relaxed and did not bother about anything.

He had been tired from his mission and wanted to rest for a while.

He closed his eyes leaning on the couch as he said offhandedly, “Kyle’s mother and Jonathan’s wife knew each other. I got to know Jonathan as his wife took Kyle as her godson.”

Everyone was shocked at the intel.

Jonathan Smith was married and his wife was friends with Liam.

Julie and Jessi exchanged looks and did not know how to move forward.

Jonathan had himself admitted to having been separated from his wife and recently reconciled. Thinking of this, Julie and Jessi got a bold idea.

Liam had his eyes closed and did not bother about anyone’s reactions. Their relationship was bound to come out sooner or later. It was only a matter of time, and it did not hurt to let his family know some vague details.

On another side of the town, Mariana’s mood was going from bad to worse.

James had been pestering her way too much to be ignored. The rumors were flying left and right, but she could not deny anything as James had threatened to tell everyone that they had had a one-night stand abroad if she did.

Mariana was exasperated beyond her limit and James was practically present in her company every day making a mess of everything.

Her mood had slightly improved when Jonathan admitted to being with his wife, but she did not get to rejoice much as James came in with a bouquet of red roses professing his love.

Her short tenure in her company was marred with gossip to the point that she had to order everyone to shut it or lose their jobs.

Most observant people could see that James was pestering Mariana without any inhibition and they chose to ignore it as it was none of anyone’s business.

But there were a lot of gossipy people who could not help themselves but create conjectures on what was going on between them.

Mariana was having quite a hard time given that the news had reached her parents as well.

Part of her wanted to confess that she was wrong and she should not have played the victim card after crashing into his car and asking for forgiveness. But instinctively she knew he would gloss over it.

Another part of her wanted to play the game with him and see who gets bored first. But she did not think it was a good idea as more often than not such games ended with someone getting badly hurt.

Unable to get out of her predicament, she could only grow a thicker skin and pretend that he was not there. But it was getting increasingly difficult with even her parents asking about things between them.
