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.Nathaniel couldn’t sleep well because the doctor had hooked several tubes and monitors to his body. He had 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.“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 h

The following week passed peacefully for the Smith family as Nathaniel and Jonathan recuperated well, and finally, the doctors cleared Li for discharge.They went home and spent another joyous week together without any work or studies. Playing, building things, cooking, working in their garden, climbing trees, and doing all sorts of activities together.Jonathan had never been so happy as he had been in that week.The family of five enjoyed their time off as they recuperated and created memories. Liam and the others dropped by often, and they all had fun.On the other hand, James and Mariana were still in a tug of war.They were pretending to be a couple, both unwilling to be the first to give up. James was having a lot of fun watching Mariana act all cute and clingy while seething in anger.Mariana, on the other hand, was scared. She was scared that one or both of them would take things too far to the point of no return. She also hated being so pretentious around him. She wanted it

There was no humor in Mariana’s laughter.“James, it’s just you and me here. Can we stop pretending? Have you not humiliated me enough? When is it going to be enough so you can stop your revenge?” She asked in extreme frustration and agony.“Is that what you think?” James was surprised.He admitted that he pestered her to have his revenge for their encounter abroad.But after getting to know her, he just wanted to spend more time with her and tease her. He had long forgotten about revenge.They were friends. They had spent a lot of time together in the last few months. Especially in the past three weeks, they had been so close.Irrespective of where they had started, he thought they had formed a bond. But clearly, he was wrong.“Is that not true? Do you like me? Are we dating? Is there anything going on between the two of us?” Mariana asked.James could not answer her. His feelings were unclear, and he did not know what to say since Mariana was in tears.“Did you forcibly kiss me befo

Half an hour later, Henry finally came out.“She is fine now.” He sat beside Liliana and exhaled.“How bad was she?” Jonathan asked.“She is allergic to Saffron. It starts with vomiting, rashes, tongue swelling, and labored breathing. It has never gone far from that, but you can imagine the next. When she arrived today, she was pretty bad - barely breathing a few times a minute. Thankfully, Liam called ahead, and we were ready for her.” Henry explained.Jennifer added, “What I don’t understand is why would she eat it?”She pointed out, “The last time she had saffron was when Kyle gifted her a saffron candy, and she could not say no to him. But she had immediately pulled Henry aside and asked him to take her to the hospital.”James filled them in. “I think it was mixed in one of the pickles in the barbeque.”Henry asked, “You were with her?”James lowered his head. “Yeah. I was not aware that she was allergic. We argued, and then she disappeared. Her phone was working, but she was not

Lester could not believe that most big-wigs of P city had turned up for his party.He willfully believed they were there for him and puffed up with each VIP entering the banquet hall.However, his mood turned sour when he saw a few people.Mariana had come on behalf of the Jacobsen group. Lester had not wanted to invite them, but it was common courtesy since they were both businessmen, and he was hoping to cooperate with them.Andrew Jacobsen was easygoing, but his daughter Mariana had a sharp tongue. Lester could only hope that the girl minds her own business, but even he knew it was an extravagant hope.He, all the more, resented Liliana for making friends with bigwigs to retaliate against him.Nonetheless, he schooled his expression and wore a flattering smile.As more and more guests came up, Lester regained his jubilant mood.Finally, Jonathan and Liliana showed up, holding each other's arms. It was their first appearance after making their marriage public.Lester was no longer h
