My Wife is a Sassy Queen

In the Preston household, things were chaotic as always.

Jessi had caught wind that Liam was involved in a love triangle between Mariana Jacobsen and James Miller.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

She thought it was great news.

If Liam married Mariana, Prestons would get closely tied with the Smiths. She would have more chances with Jonathan.

Mariana was the heir of Jacobsens, so that would be beneficial to them as well.

Jessi and Julie made plans to force them together.

One night at the dinner table, Jessi brought up the topic when Liam was absent.

Jessi pretended to be conflicted and said, “Grandma, I heard something today. I am not sure if I should say it out loud.”

Old Madam Preston did not like her pretentious gesture and remarked politely, “If you are conflicted, dear, maybe you should not have brought it up.”

Jessi was speechless. Despite the old lady’s polite tone, her rebuttal was unmissable.

Jessi gritted her teeth and said, “Some of my friends saw Liam drinking with a guy. They said the vibe between them was weird.”

Old lady Preston would have to be a fool to miss the intent of her words.

She kept quiet and looked at Jessi, silently telling her to continue.

Jessi continued, “I rebuked them and told them that Liam was dating someone secretly and that they should not spread rumors. Serious issues like these could affect his job.”

Grandma Preston nodded at her but did not comment.

Jessi was not satisfied with her response and said more directly.

“I mean, Grandma, how could Liam be gay? He had Kyle. But Kyle’s identity has not been exposed to the world, and even if it is, the question of why Liam is not married would still come up.”

Julie added to support her sister, “Well, that’s true. I mean, Kyle is young, and Liam is always away. It would be nice if Kyle had a mother to guide him and shape his character. Despite being Liam’s child, Kyle has not spent much time with Prestons and is unfamiliar with the family rules and culture.”

Jessi added oil to the fire, “Yeah! He is more aware of the Smiths. Not even Smiths, he is more aware of Jonathan Smith’s wife’s customs.”

Few other people in the family also supported their argument.

“That’s honestly true. Not only are we unaware of who Kyle’s mother is, but we are also unaware of who his Godmother is. What is she teaching him? His education and values are very different from our family.”

“Yes, Liam should get married and have his wife educate Kyle properly.”

Old lady Preston took a sip of water to conceal her expression.

The people in her family were truly shameless. If they knew that Kyle’s Godmother was Petrova, they would ask that Kyle stay with them permanently. And then urge them to visit him frequently.

But, not knowing her background and not having received the expected benefits, they were swinging the other way.

Based on what she had seen, Kyle was getting educated very well. His manners were impeccable, his tone polite but firm, his nature mature and thoughtful, his demeanor reserved and calm.

She would have to be insanely greedy to wish for her great-grandchild to be any better than that.

But she kept quiet.

Instead, she appeared thoughtful and asked, “That seems reasonable. What do you all suggest?”

Jessi was quick to answer her. “Since Liam is, supposedly, involved with the Jacobsen girl, maybe we should get them engaged. Kyle also knows her well. She would fit in well with the family.”

Someone else commented, “That’s true. Besides, the Jacobsen girl is the heir of the Jacobsens. If Kyle chooses a different path in the future, he would have no problems.”

Old lady Preston was full of contempt for their greed. She thundered, leaving no room for arguments.

“A Preston man who needs to marry a rich woman for his future or his son’s future is no Preston. Liam already has a child. Kyle is getting educated exceedingly well and does not need an unpaid nanny. Liam does not need to get married. But if he wants to, I will surely support his choice, irrespective of whether the girl is rich or poor.”

Jessi and the rest of the family members were stunned.

It was as if the old madam had let them all talk only to rebuke them all at once and save her breath.
