My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Mariana lay on the couch with half-open eyes sipping her margarita.

She could see the kids playing in the living room. The sight of them playing always had a calming effect on her. She was sometimes amazed how these kids never failed to lift her mood, even after they were already six years old and she had already seen most of their antics.

Perhaps because Liliana and she had raised them themselves with the help of equally inexperienced friends, the kids meant a great deal more to them. Their good behavior and good sense were the fruit of their hard work over the years. The twins and Kyle were their achievements in a way.

She turned her gaze to her best friend and her husband. She understood Lil’s reasoning but she still felt wrong for her friend. But since Lil had decided to make things work with him, as her best friend, the least she could do was respect her decision.

Besides, she could not overlook the impact of a father on children’s life. The twins and Kyle were all sensible, but some of their early maturity came from the fact that they were from single-parent families.

Had they been a part of a complete family, they would have been more carefree.

She really wanted the kids to have a complete home. If forgiving Jonathan was the way to get that, then it was the right way to go, especially since Jonathan was really putting on an effort.

Mariana heaved a deep sigh.

She glanced at Liliana and Jonathan again. Even though they were just talking casually, and were not even touching each other, their intimacy was obvious. She could not deny that both of their eyes had a certain glow on them since they reconciled.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Mariana had never been in love. She did not really get Liliana’s feelings. She respected it and supported her. But she could not really understand the depth of it.

‘Perhaps Jonathan gets it.’ She mused.

Mariana was reluctant to forgive Jonathan because, despite everything, the fact was Liliana had been hurt. She had watched her friend deal with her heartbreak while trying to keep herself happy and calm during pregnancy.

Every ultrasound had been pure torture wondering if their condition had deteriorated. The kids had poor health and they had been too exhausted for too long trying to be parents.

Moreover, it had been quite a task explaining to the kids why they did not have a father.

She wanted to put Jonathan in some sort of probationary period and only allow him into their lives after he had passed all the tests. Even she knew that was a ridiculous thought.

But one thing was clear to Mariana, the best way for everyone involved would be to move on without any baggage.

Mariana was lost in her thoughts for a long time.

Liliana had been paying attention to her friend despite being engrossed with her husband.

She saw the changes in Mer’s expressions and could guess what was going through her head. They had been friends their entire lives after all.

Mariana coughed loudly and Jonathan volunteered to ‘serve’ her.

Mariana was surprised at him bringing her water and asking about her preferences for dinner.

She feigned nonchalance and narrated a list.

Jonathan went to the kitchen to give directions and even called Vincent to send over the chef of his personal villa to cook some special dishes for everyone.

Jonathan knew how much Mariana meant to his wife and kids. He could see that she had filled the role of a parent when he was absent and worse, oblivious.

He wanted to show his sincerity and win them over. Words were just words and did not hold much value. He would prove himself through actions.
