My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Jonas asked, “Miss Lydia, do you know what you are saying?”

Lydia slapped the table, “Of course, it’s all her fault. Everything went wrong when she came.”

Leena rolled her eyes.

Jonas shook his head and spoke.

“Miss Lydia! It doesn’t matter. It was the grudges of previous generations. You should let bygones be bygones. What will you do now?”

Lydia was stunned. She did not know what to do anymore.

She ordered, “Send me to the Aprice Mansion.”

Leena wanted to rebuke her, but Jonas stopped her.

He said, “Sure, I can drop you at the Aprice Mansion. But I should caution you. Mr. Aprice has already cut ties with you. Based on what happened yesterday, I think it’s safe to say he doesn’t care about you. Yesterday’s commotion would have attracted his attention, but he did not save you.”

Lydia looked at him agape. It took a long while to digest his words.

She tried to deny it as she was too scared to accept the truth, “But… That can’t be right. My father loves me.”

Leena pitied the girl for a moment, but she spoke the harsh truth anyway. Someone had to say it.

“Girl, Lester Aprice gave abortifacients to his wife and killed his biological child. You saw how he treated his biological daughter. How can you expect him to care for you – a stepdaughter? Especially since your biological parents made him sick. He is dying because of your parents. You think he will care for you.”

Lydia looked aghast.

She kept shaking her head. But she had to accept the truth.

That can’t be.

She looked as if her soul had flown out of her body.

The Kents did not have the heart to send her away. They let her be and ignored her.

Jonas and Leena went to the kitchen as they cleaned up together.

They had their problems to discuss.

Leena suggested, “Why don’t you call Mr. Green? Maybe he can help.”

Jonas nodded, “Yes! I did not want to bother him from the beginning, but since we couldn’t find it yesterday, I better do that. We won’t be able to get inside the Aprice mansion anymore.”

Leena paused whatever she was doing and spoke, “Jonas, I am afraid. What if the drivers hold a grudge against you and come here?”

He rubbed her head, “Don’t worry! Why would they care about it?”

She was uneasy, “It’s easy for us to say. Anyhow, they were all unhappy because of your severance pay. Let’s not take any chances. I am scared.”

Jonas nodded, “Alright! Don’t worry too much. The doctor told you to reduce the stress; otherwise, the baby would be affected.”

Leena laughed, “Silly! I have to be pregnant for that first.”

Jonas kissed her forehead and hugged her.

He took out his phone and called Jake Green right away.

“Mr. Green! Hello, this is Jonas Kent speaking. I am sorry for disturbing you.”

“Yes, sir! Edward Kent’s son.”

“Mr. Green, I ran into some trouble and wanted your help. I am so sorry for being presumptuous.”

After that, he briefly explained how he lost his license and rescued Lydia. Then he relayed his wife’s fears.

Jake paused for a while and spoke.

“Yes, Sir! I would love that. Thank you!”

He hung up after a while and hugged his wife.

Leena asked nervously, “What did he say? Will he help us?”

Jonas nodded, “He said we need to report to the police that my driving license has been missing since whatever date. That way, the authorities will cancel the current one and re-issue a new one.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She heaved a sigh.

Jonas continued, “He said I could work for him until the issue subsides. And you can also move into the servant’s quarters. So, we will be safe for a while. Later we can think of what to do.”

Lenna nodded in relief.

Finally, they got their chance.

Without Mr. Green’s protection, their dreams of a better life would have remained just that.
