A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 491 Pineapple And Ananas

Maria asked the boys whether they wanted to have a brother or a sister. The boys exchanged glances and gave tacit answers. They both said that either was fine.

During Maria's pregnancy, the entire Xi family made her their top priority.

James accompanied her to sleep every single night. Whenever he needed to go on a business trip, he would delegate that task to Cooper instead. And if his presence was required during the trip, he would always take Maria with him. It seemed as though they were inseparable.

This kind of life, inseparable from each other, was getting on her nerves.

Due to her strong warnings and protests, James finally agreed to give her some space. From then on. when he had to go to work or on a business trip, he would go alone.

At last, Maria was able to catch her breath. She could have get-togethers with friends, eat hotpot, attend parties. and go shopping whenever she wanted.

On her third month of pregnancy, whenever James was at home. he would tell their unborn child stories every night before gaing to bed. He had probably read about fetal education somewhere, so he was trying it out.

By then, Coy had begun to go to kindergarten. All the teachers were fond of him, but they couldn't deny the fact that he was a handful. His politeness and adorable demeanor was quite a sight to behold, but his impish nature brought them endless headaches.

One day, Coy seemed upset about something.

James had stopped telling him stories ever since Maria became pregnant with another baby.

James had promised to tell him a story last night, but he ended up going home late. By the time he had arrived, Coy was already asleep. And as a result, the boy's mood had been sour all day long

Knowing that he shouldn't have broken his promise, James went to the kindergarten to pick up his two sons in the afternoon.

Coy was the first one to come out. James got out of his car and waved at his son.

"Coyle, someone is here to pick you up! Look who it is!" said the teacher.

Unexpectedly, when Coy glanced at James, he shook his head and replied, “! don’t know him.” He even hid himself in the teacher's arms. James fell silent.

At this point, the teacher didn't know how to react. "Have you forgotten you once said that you look exactly like your father?"

Coy pouted and continue to deny his relation the man. "I didn't say that."

James walked over and greeted the teacher with a ned. "Thank you, Miss Feng. You can carry on with your work. I'll take care of my boy.” She nodded back. "Alright. Coyle was behaving well today, but it seems like he’s not in the mood. You should talk to him."

"Thanks for the advice," he replied

When the teacher left, Coy wanted to go with her.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Bob is about to come out, so I'm going there to pick him up. If you leave this spot, I'll leave you here alone to fend for yourself.” James remarked. "Whatever!" It seemed as though Coy was adamantly against going home.

James’ temples started to ache as he stared at his kid. He suddenly thought of what Maria told him before. 'Coy cannot be cowed by force, but he can be persuaded with reason. Try to coax him into agreeing with you.’

James stepped forward and bent down at eye level with his son. "Coy, I didn’t mean to come home late last night. I got off work early today to pick you and Bob up."

Coy scoffed at him. "You only care about Maria now! It doesn't seem like Bob and I are as important as her. You should just ask your father to pick me up; or maybe your grandfather. Anyone is okay, as long as it's not you!”

Patiently, James tried his best to appease him. "If you come over, I'll tell you a secret." "What secret?" Sure enough, his statement aroused Coy's curiosity.

"Come closer by five steps and I'll tell you.”

Coy counted each step that he took. And after five paces, he was standing in front of James.

"The secret is that I'll personally cook delicious food for you and Bob tonight."

"As a punishment, you're going to cook tomatoes and scrambled eggs for me. But don't put any tomatoes in the dish!" Coy commanded. James picked him up and said. "Gladly." He would just use tomato sauce as a substitute.

"I also want to eat pineapple rice, but don't use any pineapples!"

“Okay.” He would put ananas instead

As soon as Coy stepped into the Car, Bob came out of his classroom. James drove them back to the villa.

During dinner time, Maria refused to eat James' cooking. Her dinner was instead served by her nutritionist.

James was responsible for Coy and Bob's dinner. And the dinner for his grandparents was prepared by the chef.

Was his father lying to him?

On Maria's fifth month of pregnancy, James found out that the child in her womb might be another boy, so he took the story books back to the two boys’ room. Never again did he tell stories to the unborn child

Naturally, Coy was the happiest about this. At last, he would be able to hear stories from James again. Fifteen days later. Maria insisted on going on a business trip despite James' refusal to let her. She had been taking care of the two companies’ affairs at home, but this time, the matter was very important and she had to deal with it personally.

At first, James wanted to ask Norman to help her, but he was no longer a shareholder of Fosun Entertainment Group. All his shares had been transferred to Mildred.

Since he couldn't dissuade Maria, James negotiated a compromise. She could go, but she must take him with her.

Maria rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not a three-year-old, James. Besides, you assigned tons of bodyguards to look after me. Are they weak or something?"

"Look, the only way I can feel at peace is when I see that you're safe and sound," he refuted

"I'll only be away for two days, not two months! Can you please just give me some space?" James had just given her some space for a few days, but he still couldn't resist the urge to tie her to his side

It was a long debate before he finally agreed toxet her do it Two days was the maximum amount of time that he allowed her to go out on her own. If she were late for even one?minute longer, he would go find her: “Content bélongs to NovelDrama.Org ~

Obviously, Maria wasn’t happy to hear that. ‘He's such a giant baby,’ she thought to herself. The only person happy that Maria was away on a business trip was Coy.

Without her at home, he could run wild in the manor. Several servants weren't enough to keep him in check, and even the bodyguards had to look after him.

In the evening, before James came home, Coy made one of the maids slip into the hot tub by accident.

As soon as James came back, he called Coy into his study. He whipped his belt out and said, "Coy, do you think that nobody will punish you just because your mother isn’t home?"

It was true that he avoided punish his children, but Maria was away, and Coy had made a serious mistake. When the boy saw the belt, it didn't faze him at all. He even told a joke

Ethan had once told him.

Coy had a sharp memory, so he was able to remember it word by word

James fell silent.

‘If I have done something wrong, just punish me! Don't give me such a naughty son."

The following moment. the belt lashed onto Coy's buttocks.
