My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Liliana flicked Mariana’s forehead and said, “Don’t fill your pretty head with these worries. Whatever has to happen will come to pass.”

Mariana asked, “Do you think I am stupid?”

Liliana answered, “I think you are blissfully ignorant. You have never really had to face the challenges that could scar you for life or change who you are as a person. And I pray to God that it will always be your reality.”

Mariana could sense the ‘but’ in her statement, “But?”

Liliana ruffled her hair, “I am worried because you are passionate, which is a good thing. I know how stubborn you can get when it comes to things you really believe in or really really want.”

“Remember those dreadful piano sessions. When you started playing I could hardly believe anyone could be that bad, but now you could play in a concert.”

“I am worried one day you will become stubborn about something that you should not be and lose yourself in the process. I don’t ever want to see you break or bend.”

Mariana shook her head, “I will never lose myself.”

Liliana laughed, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you. Worse comes to worst, I will raise you.”

Mariana was not in a mood to joke though, “I think Mom wants me to change.”

Liliana answered, “Aunty doesn’t want you to change. She just wants you to be a little more aware so you can protect yourself.”

Mariana nodded and smiled as she thought of her father, “Dad does not think so.”

Liliana sighed, “Uncle loves you too much to see any flaw in you.”

Mariana quibbled, “You are just jealous.”

Liliana let out a dramatic cry, “I have no father.”

Mariana laughed, “I almost felt bad.”

Liliana joined in the chuckle, “Your father had spilled over his love for you to me. Thanks to him, I have never lacked a father. I think I am blessed with everything good in life. Even those things I did not get, life compensated me with something better. Except for Mom, of course.”

Mariana snorted at her as she said, “I want margaritas.”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Liliana pulled her cheeks and asked, “Boy Problems?”

Mariana grumbled, “More like an annoying douche.”

Liliana narrowed her eyes, “What did James do to you?”

Mariana answered, “He is taking revenge for the car accident abroad. I feigned ignorance, so he claimed to be my one-night stand and is acting like a boyfriend in front of others. My staff thinks I am dating him.”

Liliana laughed, “That’s funny. Someone finally got on your nerves.”

Mariana was annoyed, “It’s not funny. I am annoyed to death. He is like a sticky glue that does not come off. I have tried everything but he does not leave.”

Liliana was amused but she warned her, “Be careful!”

Mariana did not even hear her words, “I even considered acting like an annoying whiney girlfriend to get rid of them. You know those sickeningly sweet types who are into PDA. Ugh!”

Liliana was not a big fan of such tricks. More often than not, people end up getting hurt in those games.

“Maybe not go that far.” She cautioned.

“It was just a momentary lapse of judgment. I am not actually going to do that. Let’s stop talking about that. I don’t want to ruin my mood.” Mariana said as she slept on the couch once again.
