My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Chapter 148 I miss sleeping in your arms



Jonathan squinted at Liliana again and sighed more audibly than the last time as he read the comments on his tablet.

Kyle and Joyanna snickered from the sides as Liliana ignored them and focused on talking to Mariana instead.

Jonathan cleared his throat and coughed again to draw her attention to no avail.

Finally, Mariana could not take it anymore and cursed.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Do you want medications for your cough, President Smith? Enough disturbing us.”

“I am the patient here, Miss Jacobsen. Also, why don’t you go and accompany your father?” Jonathan could not believe her audacity.

She was in his room and was accusing him of disturbing her when it was her who had been keeping his wife busy throughout the day.

‘How could they talk so much?’

“No thanks! My father has his wife by his side. He does not need me.” Mariana shrugged.

“But I need my wife, so please make yourself scarce,” Jonathan grumbled.

The kids burst out laughing and Mariana choked.

“Jonathan Smith, she is my best friend first and your wife later. Don’t be presumptuous just because she loves you.” Mariana did not think anything was wrong with her statement.

But Jonathan looked at her aghast and at his wife, whose shaking shoulders showed her mirth while she stayed quiet.

“Say something!” He begged his wife. But unfortunately for him, she burst out laughing instead.

Jonathan lay back on the bed defeated as he stared at the ceiling tuning out all of them.

He was so lost in thought that he did not come to his senses until he felt a cooling sensation on his lips.

He gulped involuntarily at the sweet taste of his wife’s lips which disappeared so quickly that he thought he must have drifted off to sleep and dreamt it.

He looked around and saw Liliana staring at him with a smile on her lips and the kids and Mariana were nowhere in sight.

He looked back at her with pursed lips showing his grievances.

Liliana laughed out loud seeing him like that which infuriated him further as he turned his back on her.

“Don’t be like that. It will hurt your wound. You need to take care of your body.” She said as she gently turned him around.

Jonathan stayed quiet and just looked at her.

Liliana looked at the closed door and got inside the covers laying beside him resting her head on his shoulders and encircling her arms around his waist.

“Recover quickly, Mr. Husband. I miss sleeping in your arms.”

Liliana said with her eyes closed, her voice muffled as she pressed her face on his neck.

Jonathan could not help but laugh. She was good at making him angry and making him laugh effortlessly.

“Why did you ignore me, Mrs. Smith?” He asked as he moved, getting comfortable with her in his arms.

“I was not ignoring you. I was trying to get Mariana to understand the various stages of retaliation. She is too naive and innocent and wants to deal a fatal blow. I am a vicious bitch who likes to torture her prey.”

Jonathan felt her calm voice tinged with a sense of melancholy.

He grabbed her chin and made her look into his eyes. Seeing her eyes, he knew she was not happy.

“You are a daughter, a friend, a mother, a wife, and a Queen. You have to endure the heavy burden of having to do justice and protect the ones you love. If you are a pushover, the ones you love will get hurt. And they deserve worse than what you have in store for them.”

He kissed her eyes slowly as he continued.

“Your retaliation is much more forgiving and gentle than what they did to you in the first place. In your place, I would have made them suffer worse than what they had planned for you. Don’t think badly about yourself.”

Liliana nodded, but then sniffled as she asked, “Don’t you find me repulsive?”

Jonathan laughed, “I find you very admirable. You are the kind of person I want Jo to grow up to be like. That should tell you how much I like you.”

Liliana finally smiled which made Jonathan smile involuntarily.

“I love you so much. I don’t think there are enough words in all the languages in all of our history to describe it.”

Jonathan said with so much conviction that Liliana had no doubt he meant it.

She kissed him on his cheeks and smiled.

Jonathan felt his heart melt at her smile.

“Mrs. Smith, as your punishment for ignoring me, kiss me on the lips.”
