My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Jonathan looked at him as an emotion he could not catch seeped into his heart.

He sat beside Li’s bed and looked at him carefully.

“How old are you?” He asked.

“Oh! I forgot to introduce myself,” Li replied, “I am Nathaniel Green, you can call me Li. I am 6 years old. I will be seven in a few months. This is my twin sister Joyanna Green, you can call her Jo.”

“Why is your pet name Li, shouldn’t it be Nat like Jo for Joyanna and Lil for Liliana?” Jonathan asked curiously.

“Nat is dad’s pet name, so I can’t be Nat. Besides, I wanted a pet name from Mommy’s name,” Li shrugged like an adult.

“What’s your father’s name?” Jonathan asked, his heart galloping for no reason.

“His name is Jo… Mummy, you are back!” Li exclaimed halfway through answering when he spotted his mother.

Liliana did not know what to say. She had heard Jonathan’s question and realized he had no idea that the kids were his. Maybe he did not recognize her as his wife either.

That made sense. They had not seen each other for seven years after the day of their marriage.

But knowing that he forgot she was his wife still pained her.

She fixed her expression but Jonathan had caught the sadness before she covered it up.

He wondered what made her sad, was it her husband?

“You are awake. How do you feel?” She asked Li.

“I am okay. I was just chatting with this sir here. I have forgiven him. He helped you and donated blood,” Li answered.

Jonathan was shocked at his changed demeanor. He was no longer stern adult-like, in front of his mother, he was just a young child eager to prove himself.

Lil kissed him on the face, “You did great. I am proud of you. Both you and Jo did great today.”

Nathaniel looked at her sadly, “Mommy, don’t always worry so much about our health. We are not that fragile. We are Petrovas. We are tough and unbreakable.”

Lil laughed through her tears, “Yes. We are unbreakable.”

Jonathan frowned on hearing the name Petrovas. If he was not mistaken, the little girl in his memory also called herself Petrova.

Lydia Aprice would also brag about being a princess. Clearly, that was a lie.

Liliana coughed which brought Jonathan back to his senses.

“Thank you for today.” She did not know what to say to him.

“Don’t mention it, it was my fault anyway.” Jonathan shook his head.

“Is it okay with you if I sue her?” She enquired, a knot in her heart. She did not know what she ought to do if he protected Vivian.

“You can sue her. You don’t have to ask me. She is just a business partner. Everything between Vivian Stone and me is strictly based on contracts.” Jonathan explained as he did not want any misunderstanding between them.

“Alright then,” Lil said, visibly confused.
