My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Liliana sighed looking at her way too mature son. She had hoped for him to be more childish but he was growing up to be more and more mature and private.

Jonathan rubbed her head and hugged her shoulders as she sighed with a defeated look on her face.

“He will be fine. I was also like that as a child. He may have taken after me.” He tried to console Liliana.

She shook her head, “You were happy when you stayed the week with me and Mom. I feel like I have failed as a parent when I see Li behaving like an adult.”

Jonathan rubbed her back and said, “You are the best mother the kids could have hoped for. It is my fault that Li is like that. He has assumed my responsibility. That and his natural personality have made him like that. Let me handle this. I will show him that he can be carefree because I will be there for him, his little sister, and for his mother.”

Liliana sniffled and hugged him, “Do you hate me? It was my sole decision to hide this from you and to give birth to them without your consent.”

Jonathan replied unhesitatingly, “How can I possibly hate you for the biggest blessing of my life? I just feel guilty for my behavior. I did indeed create an environment where you couldn’t tell me that I was going to be a father.”

“But as you said, I would rather focus my emotions on loving and caring about you all and make up for my absence all these years. There is no benefit to wallowing in self-reproach. Mrs. Liliana Petrova Smith, you were the one who told me that if I was capable of remorse, I was worthy of redemption.”

Liliana laughed through her tears, “It’s easier to spit nonsense than follow it.”

Jonathan kissed the top of her head, “Don’t overthink it. I am very happy today.”

Liliana looked up at him and suddenly the atmosphere turned ambiguous as their lips were hardly two inches apart.

Liliana cursed herself in his head. Why did she have to look up like that?

Jonathan could feel her breath on his face and he saw her eyes that were filled with expectation, embarrassment, confusion, and self-reproach.

He dipped his head and kissed the top of her nose and pressed her head on his chest.

Liliana sighed in relief. They had both been in love with each other for fifteen years but they had never gotten a chance to know each other. This time she wanted to take things nice and slow and get to know each other rather than jump headfirst in the fire pit as she did with their marriage.

She untangled herself after a few minutes and said, “Let’s go check on the kids. They must be asleep by now.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Jonathan held her hand as they made their way to the kid’s room.

Jonathan was surprised to see that the kids were sound asleep. They kissed both the kids on their forehead, tucked them in, adjusted the temperature, enabled the sensor which would get triggered if they had laborious breathing, and quietly closed the door.

“Did you train them to fall asleep quickly like that?” Jonathan asked curiously.

“Yes. I was also raised like that. I can fall asleep within three minutes even in a noisy place, but I am a very sensitive sleeper, I get up even at the slightest disturbance.” She explained.

“It’s a good habit to form,” Jonathan remarked and thought he should join all the exercises the kids and Liliana did every day and regulate his behavior as well.

He exercised in the gym for two hours in the morning but every other thing in his life was in chaos.

Jonathan went to shower in the guest bedroom as Liliana went to bathe in their bedroom.

She was still in the shower when he came back.

He sat on the bed and waited for her.
