My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Liliana saw Nathanial rolling his eyes and shook her head at Jonathan’s shameless bias.

She pulled her sons into her embrace and kissed them.

Jonathan looked at her expectantly, making the kids snigger.

He frowned for a while as his wife glared at him. He realized why in a few seconds.

He patted Li and Kyle on their shoulders when he realized he had been too obvious.

As if he had done a great job, he looked at his wife expectantly.

Mariana burst out laughing at their antics.

James looked at Mariana with an imperceptible smile, but the sadness in the depths of his eyes was unmistakable.

But Mariana missed it.

She teased Jonathan, “It’s good to see President Smith begging for his wife’s attention.”

Jonathan smirked and was about to say something when Li stopped him.

“Daddy, don’t say weird things. Jo is here.”

Jonathan was embarrassed. Liliana punched him lightly.

Mariana almost fell off laughing.

Kyle shook his head. He kissed Liliana on the cheek and said.

“I love you, Mommy.”

Liliana chucked and kissed him over his face, “I know, Darling. I love you too. The three of you are my most precious treasures.”

Li hugged his mother and said, “We’ll be good, mommy. We will take care of Jo.”

Joanna felt left out of their confession and went to Liliana’s lap.

“I love mommy the most.” She announced, unwilling to be outdone by her brothers.

Kyle ruffled her hair and said, “Let’s go play. I will teach you a new move.”

Jo nodded vigorously and got up. She kissed her mother on the cheek and jumped on Jonathan’s lap. She kissed him all over the face marking her territory.

The three kids left, and Jonathan pulled his wife in his arms, stealing a quick peck.

She snorted, “petty!” But Jonathan just shrugged.

Mariana asked, “Jonathan, aren’t you even a little embarrassed about being blatantly biased?”

Jonathan shrugged, “It’s not my fault. Jo looks exactly like Lil did at that age.”

James was stunned, “So you are essentially biased towards younger Lil. Poor Jo!”

“Don’t make it so awkward. Of course, I love Jo for herself. It’s just great that she looks exactly like her mother.” Jonathan explained with a frown.

Mariana shook her head, “You are not making any sense. Don’t be so blatantly biased.”

He was unperturbed, “it’s alright. Boys need harsher lessons. Girls are to be cherished.”

Liliana shot him a glare, “don’t speak nonsense. She should be educated and trained well. When the time comes, she must be capable of protecting herself. Don’t spoil her too much.”

Jonathan looked at her smugly and said, “Give me another daughter then. I will spoil her, and you can educate Jo.”

Liliana shook her head at his childishness.

Mariana asked, “Why did Kyle ask about being gay?”

Liliana snorted angrily. “The Preston family means to force Liam to marry you. Old Madam supports Liam, but I am worried. When it comes to Liam’s future and Preston’s family reputation, will she still be tolerant?”

Jonathan looked at Mariana and James meaningfully and said to no one in general. “You should be ready.”

Mariana was stunned, “That came out of nowhere.”

James was most shocked by the news. If Mariana married Liam, he would have no future with her.

But Liam said Mariana was like a sister to him.

He shook his head. He had no right to interrupt.

Jonathan looked at James and Mariana but did not know what to say.

In the bedroom, Jonathan and Liliana hugged each other on the bed and chatted.

“Why are you so biased towards Jo?” She asked.

Jonathan kissed her and teased, “Jealous?”

She shook her head, “You are not making any sense.”

He signed and pinned her beneath him, “Have you noticed how tightly she holds me and kisses me all over the face? She is not normally that clingy.”

She nodded, “Yeah, she sure loves marking her territory.”

He flicked her forehead, “She is insecure. That’s why I don’t hide my bias.”

Liliana was shocked, “What?”

Jonathan kissed her soothingly, “She is insecure. Li took a while to accept me. He is rational, too rational even. Kyle takes you, and only you, at face value. But Jo warmed up to me even before I knew the truth. She is insecure. She is never cheeky with me and is always well-behaved.”

Liliana nodded. She had not paid attention to that.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Jonathan could sense her feelings and said, “Don’t beat yourself with it. I should also do something for my kids, right? You don’t have to care about everything. Leave something for me as well.”

She nodded, “Alright, I won’t meddle.”

Jonathan kissed her and asked, “Now, my lovely Lil. You promised to take initiative tonight.”

Liliana stared at him and said, “Since you are already in position, how about you get started.”

He shook his head with a cheeky glint in his eyes.
