My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Jonathan was stunned. He looked at the woman in his arms whose eyes were twinkling in mischief.

Liliana was touched by his actions and worry, but at the same time, she was also amused.

“What do you mean?” He asked as he tilted his head back to better see her face and expressions.

She laughed hysterically.

“The Aprices never knew of the extent of Petrova property or power. Since I was named the heir, Lester Aprice did not need to know and all my training was kept a secret. I have had round-the-clock protection since I was five.”

She explained seriously.

He asked, “But the picture is not forged.”

She tilted her head and thought aloud, “I am conflicted, Mr. Husband. Should I explain to you? Or should I keep you in suspense so you can watch the drama unfold?”

He shook his head in helplessness.

“You can keep me in suspense, just tell me if you were hurt?” He asked.

“No, I was not. I did the household chores, but I was not physically abused. Or should I say they never realized that they had not succeeded?” She explained vaguely.

“What exactly are you hiding?” Jonathan realized she must be hiding something big. She had no reason to stay back with Aprices or suffer given her resources.

“Mr. Husband, give me,” she checked her phone and she answered, “Give me 6 months and 18 days. I will show you the ace up my sleeve.”

“Huh?” He was confused.

“It has to be nurtured and well grown for it to work. I can tell you now, but it will be more satisfying to personally show you. You can understand me better when that happens.” She explained while still being vague about what it was.

“I trust you,” He wrapped her in his arms again, “I am glad they did not succeed. I was worried.” He confessed.

“It’s good to have someone worry about me for the things that happened over a decade ago,” She added as she held him tighter.

They were interrupted by the knock on the door.

Li, Jo, and Kyle had come to find Liliana. They were surprised to see their father was also home at that time of the day when he was expected in the office.

“Daddy!” Jo exclaimed as she ran towards Jonathan.

Li only frowned as he commented, “Daddy! You are home early.”

“I brought work home. I wanted to see your mother, so I came early,” Jonathan explained the unasked question.

Li only nodded at him, but his eyes were less stern. He had liked his father’s answer.

“Mommy, we saw something on the internet,” Kyle asked directly.

“Ignore it! It’s fake. I still need some time to introduce you to everyone,” She said indifferently.

“Mommy, were you hurt?” Jo asked.

“No, darling. Mommy was not hurt. Mommy is too smart and clever to be hurt just like that.” She replied to her family arrogantly.

“Mommy, be serious.” Li frowned.

“Little Li, if you frown so much, you will become old man Li before your age reaches double digits. I am telling you the truth,” Liliana pulled Li and Kyle in her arms and smoothened his brows.

“I am not lying to you to pacify you. I did not suffer. Everyone helped me trick the bad people. They tried to hurt me and failed. Instead, I ended up having a lot of evidence against them. Just like right now, the bad people are trying to harm me but they are digging their own grave.” She explained to her kids.

The kids were still not convinced, so Jonathan added.

“She is telling the truth. I was also worried so I came to accompany her but she was fine and she even teased me for worrying endlessly.”

Jonathan pinched Jo’s cheeks as he reassured the kids.

This put rest to their worries.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I have no presence in your lives. I said it and I was ignored. He said it and you believed him.” Liliana pouted to lighten the atmosphere.

The kids giggled as they kissed her and hugged her from all sides.

She raised her eyes at Jonathan in the provocation, which everyone found hilarious.

He joined the kids and encircled everyone in his long arms.

“It’s good to have a family.” He said emotionally as he kissed all four of them saying, “I love you all.”

Jo was the most cheerful of them all as she slathered her father’s face with saliva.
