My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Jonathan woke up the next day to see Liliana sprawled half on top of him as always. It was the first time since his surgery that she had agreed to sleep on the same bed as him and he was more than happy to wake up to that sight.

He gently untangled himself from her and went to freshen up.

He then checked on the kids and adjusted their positions in bed.

Nathaniel woke up suddenly when Jonathan tried to straighten his hands which he folded in his sleep. Since he was still hooked to monitors, he was forced to sleep in a straight position.

“It’s still early. Go back to sleep!” He said as he gently straightened his posture and checked on the tubes and all.

“Where is mommy?” Nathaniel asked groggily.

“She is sleeping. It’s still early. Go back to sleep, buddy. I will wake you up when it’s time for the rounds.”

Jonathan gently caressed his face and kissed his forehead.

Nathaniel closed his eyes and went back to sleep. Jonathan was happy to see his son drop his guard.

His son used to be vigilant against him when he was alone with them. Jonathan had been pained to see that but he knew he had to earn his place in their heart. It had been his fault all along.

Jonathan went back to the lounge and found Liliana patting the bed on both sides. He got into bed and she touched his face and sniffed him before hugging him close and going back to sleep.

Jonathan felt he was on cloud nine.

He was too giddy to go back to sleep, so he decided to surprise his wife instead.

That morning when the internet was still abuzz with Alice and Vincent’s posts, it was in an uproar once again.

Jonathan Smith had finally spoken.

“Seven years ago, people who did not want us to get married tried to break us apart, and I could not protect you as well as I should have.

You were strong and resilient and you protected yourself and our marriage admirably. To protect our twins and raise them in a non-toxic environment, it was still you who took up the mantle.

You suffered so much and raised our kids well, while I only watched from afar. When I could not take it anymore and asked you to come back, you are still being defamed and in the center of conspiracy and gossip.

This time I hope to shield our children and you and yours from any harm and hope to be worthy of you.

I love you, Liliana. In my heart, you will always be the 8-year-old chirpy little girl who I fell in love with and waited a dozen years to be able to marry and call mine.”

The internet went on fire.

Jonathan Smith said he was in love with Liliana when she was only 8 years old.

His post eradicated any remaining doubts that anyone had about their relationship.

They were childhood sweethearts and people targeted her because they did not want her to marry him.

They had two children.

They were separated for the sake of their children.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

They were very much in love.

People were gushing about their love story marred with trials and tribulations which they were able to overcome and finally be together.

However, some people were losing sleep over this.

Lydia could not believe that Jonathan had already known that Liliana was the girl he had been looking for.

Her resentment towards Liliana sored high. ‘If that bitch had not come back, Jonathan would have believed that I was his childhood crush. I would have been the person to receive his favor. I would have been the person he doted on, protected, loved. It was all that bitch Liliana’s fault.’

Vivian was helpless.

Just the day before she had finally realized that it had indeed been Jonathan who had bankrupted her company for revenge. They were about to lose their house and all their properties. And she had received a lawsuit from Jonathan and Liliana.

The couple had sued her in a united front.

Vivian did not know what to do. She had called her relatives and friends but everyone refused to help.

She had fallen from her pedestal as the daughter and heir of Stones to a pauper.

Rose and Lester were both burning in anger. They had whipped Liliana so many times over the years. And to find out that she had never been hurt and laughed at them behind their backs. It was intolerable.

Jonathan’s statement had crushed all of their hopes.
