บททั้งหมดของ My wife is a sassy Queen: บทที่ 221 - บทที่ 230

Mariana woke up the next day feeling groggy and itchy all over her body.She instinctively tried to move and felt a painful tug on her arm.Her groans woke the nurse hired for her, Jennifer, and Henry. They quickly scrambled to her bedside.Mariana looked around to see where she was.As she scanned her surroundings and looked at herself, the events of the night before came to her.“Fuck!” She cursed involuntarily.Henry laughed out loud at that.“Good morning to you too!” Henry said sarcastically.“It’s good to see that you are fine,” Jennifer’s voice was sincere. She was clearly perturbed.“I am going to kill that bitch. She ruined Lil’s birthday party.”“Did you know Lil had not celebrated her birthday like that since her mother passed away? How dare she cause trouble at Lil’s birthday party? Not only did she come uninvited, but she also ruined her party and made her worry. We must have our revenge.”Mariana was so agitated thinking of Alice that she continued rambling until she pul

James received a call from the subordinate that he had sent to bring the waiter who had spiked Mariana’s drink back.He picked it up and received confirmation that the waiter was back.James finally smiled after a night of crying. A murderous glint in his eyes.He messaged Jonathan and Liliana that he was leaving to deal with the waiter and Alice.Liliana called him inside and asked Mariana to behave.“Why should I behave? I am the patient here.” Mariana grumbled but kept quiet.Mariana was shocked to see James. It was clear that he had not slept a wink. Even wrapped in bandages, she looked better than James.He had not slept a wink.He had cried himself until his eyes dried.He had not eaten anything.He had freshened up before loitering around Mariana’s ward.He had smoked continuously.Liam had punched him in the face, and he had not bothered to treat it.James looked like a wreck. Mariana had never seen him less than immaculate.The fact that she might mean something to him began

James arrived home to find his parents having a serious discussion at the breakfast table.Mrs. Miller was shocked to see James so disheveled.“What happened?” She anxiously asked.“It doesn’t matter.” He shrugged it off, stepping away from her touch.Mrs. Miller felt electrocuted. Never had her son treated her so indifferently.He went up to his room and hastily packed some of his things. He chose the things that meant something to him rather than things he used or needed.He was rich; he could always buy stuff. But some things were priceless, the way some people were irreplaceable. It took losing Mariana and his child to realize that.Mr. and Mrs. Miller were stunned to see James coming back carrying his luggage.“What do you think you are doing?” Mr. Miller asked. He could not take the blatant disrespect.“I am old enough to live by myself and make my own decisions,” James emotionlessly replied as if his heart was dead. He felt like that.“James, don’t be like that. A woman is not

In the hospital, Liliana went to see Mariana with the kids.“Aunty Mer, I will apply Daddy Henry’s special medicine on your wounds. You will become better in no time. Then we can play and beat the bad guys.” Joyanna said sweetly.“My little princess loves me the best,” Mariana cooed and kissed Jo’s face.Nathaniel pursed his lips and did not say anything. Mer had raised the kids with Liliana, so she understood them well.“Just spit it out, you brat. What is it?” Mariana said in dissatisfaction. She knew Li was criticizing her.“Aunty Mer, when she held your hand, why did you not jerk her off? Why did you not hold Daddy Liam’s hand? Why did you not pull her with you? Your reflexes are bad.” Li questioned her mercilessly.“I did not think she would do something like that in front of all people,” Mer grumbled, feeling stupid at the little boy’s words.“Limiting your imagination is the worst thing you can do to yourself,” Li repeated the words of one of his teachers.“Hey! I did not limit

James kept caressing Mariana’s hand. Her hand was cold. He stroked her fingers and rubbed them softly, trying to warm her up.“You bite the top of your pen when you focus on work. You bite your lips when annoyed but want to keep your temper in check. You eat hot pot or anything spicy like you are on a mission. It makes me wonder if you actually like it. Or you got used to it some other way.”James smiled through his tears.“You treat all your employees very well, not because it would ease your way when you take over from your father or with any diabolical agenda. But because you genuinely think that’s the right way to treat your employees. You remember all your maids, drivers, bodyguards, and things about their families because you care about them. You are kind and compassionate. You are short-tempered and easily annoyed. You roll your eyes more often than you smile.”James laughed a little as he pressed a kiss on her palm.“You love the kids so much. You would take a bullet for your
