My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Jonathan was shrewd enough to see what she was planning.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He could not have brought Smith Group to its heights without seeing through people’s schemes.

Liliana was a bundle of surprises. But whenever she said something cryptically, he was able to decipher it accurately enough.

“Did you plan this with my wife? Who is she to you?” He asked.

“She is the one person I failed to protect in the past and I am going to make up for that error as soon as I can.” She said looking into his eyes.

Jonathan got suspicious at that. The way she said it and the emotions in her eyes were hiding a big secret.

But what was that?

The suspicion that she was his wife grew stronger.

There was something very similar about her sad smile, the color of her eyes, the vibe he got with her, the feel of her body when they had danced together, the steely determination in her eyes, her indifferent face. Those things strongly reminded him of his wife of three days.

But if she was his wife, why would she not say anything?

Most importantly, if she was his wife, are the twins his?

“Who is the father of the twins?” He asked, finally mustering the courage to ask the question he had wanted to ask since he saw them in Maple city.

“My husband.” She replied nonchalantly.

“Where is he?” He asked.

“Close by.” She said vaguely.

“What’s his name?” He asked, clenching fists.

“What’s with the interrogation?” She laughed.

“I was just curious,” He mumbled.

“Never mind that. You will meet my husband soon enough.” She closed the topic, “I take it you have agreed to buy the necklace and present it to me.”

“Yes. I also want to identify and remove obstacles between me and my wife,” He answered.

“Excellent! Make sure you use your personal money for it,” She added. “I don’t want to involve either of our businesses in this.”

“I was thinking the same,” He agreed.

“Li and Jo are going to have a check-up tomorrow. Do you want to come?” She asked.

“Will it be okay if I do?” He asked.

“Of course. Why else would I ask you?” She answered breezily, “Jo likes you a lot. Li as well but he thinks he should not like anyone but me. I wish they could grow up as normal children and would not overthink everything. Even Kyle has become somber after he returned home. I feel like I have failed as a mother.”

“Don’t beat yourself with it. It’s a good thing that the kids are sensible and principled. With their intelligence, they could have been unruly and capricious. It’s your parenting that has shaped them into a good person from a young age.” He consoled her.

It made his heart ache to see her doubting herself.

She was the most amazing woman he had ever met. He had seen first-hand what an amazing mother she was. He wanted so badly to hug her in his arms and comfort her.

But he pushed the thought away immediately.

If she was not his wife, such thoughts were a mental betrayal.

He did not want to wrong his wife any more than he already had.
