My Wife is a Sassy Queen

In the hospital, Liliana went to see Mariana with the kids.

“Aunty Mer, I will apply Daddy Henry’s special medicine on your wounds. You will become better in no time. Then we can play and beat the bad guys.” Joyanna said sweetly.

“My little princess loves me the best,” Mariana cooed and kissed Jo’s face.

Nathaniel pursed his lips and did not say anything. Mer had raised the kids with Liliana, so she understood them well.

“Just spit it out, you brat. What is it?” Mariana said in dissatisfaction. She knew Li was criticizing her.

“Aunty Mer, when she held your hand, why did you not jerk her off? Why did you not hold Daddy Liam’s hand? Why did you not pull her with you? Your reflexes are bad.” Li questioned her mercilessly.

“I did not think she would do something like that in front of all people,” Mer grumbled, feeling stupid at the little boy’s words.

“Limiting your imagination is the worst thing you can do to yourself,” Li repeated the words of one of his teachers.

“Hey! I did not limit my imagination. I am just not a vile person,” Mariana justified her actions to her godson.

“What is a vile person?” Jo asked innocently.

“It means a bad person, Jo,” Li explained to his sister and asked Mariana, “Aunty Mer, when she started scolding you, she had already proven her bad character. What other proof was required?”

Mariana thought about it and realized that was indeed the truth.

Li’s questions made her question other stuff as well.

She thought back on the first time she had met Alice.

James had kissed her forcefully, but realizing her feelings, he had kissed her gently, soothing all her grievances.

Yet she had interrupted them, ignored her, kissed James casually, and implied they had an unusual relationship. James had explained that they did not, but she was too angry at that time to think straight. She had felt too humiliated at that time to care.

Another time, she had sent her a photo of them kissing. She had believed it without a second thought.

Now that things had come to this, Mariana doubted everything.

But she shrugged away her thoughts.

She was not in a relationship with James. She should not care about his flings.

Jo nudged her and asked, “Aunty Mer, don’t worry about Li. He only wants you to protect yourself next time. Mommy said when we make a mistake, we should reflect on ourselves. We should try never to repeat our mistakes. And when we get hurt, we should strengthen ourselves and not get hurt again.”

Mariana kissed the adorable girl giving her an explanation for her taciturn brother.

Li had pursed his lips, but his silence was his acquiescence.

Mariana, of course, knew where Li was coming from, but she was in a hospital with no source of amusement.

“Why don’t I think so?” She grumbled, looking cross at Li.

Li’s eyes flashed. But his face remained neutral.

He had not meant to hurt his godmother. He thought she must be joking with him.

“Li is looking down on me. He thinks I am stupid and clumsy. He doesn’t care about me or love me anymore.”

Mariana sniveled, hiding her choke, and continued as Li only frowned at that but did not react much.

“I am in so much pain. My whole body hurts. But my kids look down on me and scold me instead of taking care of me. How pitiful! I am so pitiful; my heart hurts more than my body.”

Li could not take it anymore.

He walked up to Mariana and kissed her cheeks.

“Get well soon, Aunty! I love you!” He whispered in her ears before walking two steps back.

Mariana laughed out loud.

“I know, little brat. I am so awesome. How could you not love me?” Mariana said smugly.

Li shook his head at that.

He knew she was joking. He just did not want to take that small risk.

What if she was hurt and was feeling negative? He had been hospitalized long enough in his short life to know how one could get irritated when sick.

He did not want to hurt her even a tiny bit. Being fooled by her was better than unknowingly hurting her.

Liliana saw through her son and sighed.

All her children were precocious.
