My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Ordinarily, Liliana and Jonathan would have helped Mariana suppress the news.

But with the Military getting involved, they could only wait and watch.

Liam got suspended – temporarily until the investigators resolved the matter.

An investigation committee started to look into Liam’s personal life.

Liam panicked. He rushed to Liliana’s place, where he knew he would find Mariana and James.

Liliana saw the panic on Liam’s face and went to hug him immediately.

“We will figure something out. Don’t worry! Worse comes to worst – I will take care of him.”

But Liam did not feel reassured. The secret he was protecting was too precious to relax his vigil.

Mariana saw his panic and hugged him to show her support.

It all happened because of her. She did not know how to resolve the issue.

Mariana choked and apologized, “I am sorry.”

James felt a lump down his throat. He bowed to Liam and apologized.

“This is my mistake. You got dragged into my equations with Mariana because of my incompetence. And my mother has made things worse. I don’t know how to resolve this.”

“Tell me what I can do, and I will do it.”

James spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Liam patted his shoulder, and they all sat down.

Liam assuaged James, “Someone from my family did all of this. Only they amongst our detractors know the ins and outs of the Military. They want to force my hand to marry the heir of Jacobsens. Even without you guys, I would be in some or the other scandal.”

Liam looked at Jonathan and James and laughed in resignation.

“I guess Lil never told you guys – Kyle is my half-brother, not my son!”

Jonathan and James looked at Liam dumbfounded. They had never anticipated this twist.

James asked after a full minute, “Why?”

Liliana cut them off before Liam could speak, “It does not matter. The fewer people who know the details, the better. Henry and Jennifer don’t know this either, so please mind your words. And obviously, the kids don’t know either.”

Jonathan frowned but did not interject.

James realized the reason behind Liam’s panic and looked up at him.

“The Military will have access to the hospital records, and they will see you admitting to being the father of my child.”

Liam nodded, “Yes! And then they will dig into Kyle’s parentage.”

Jonathan had a bad feeling and a worse solution.

“You must get ahead of the curve if you want to hide it.”

Liliana questioned, “The question is how?”

They were interrupted by the knock on the door as a maid announced Jacob’s visit.

Liliana asked her to let him in.

Jacob looked like he hadn’t slept through the night and ran from his place to there.

He closed the door behind him and plopped on the couch alone.

Mariana commented, “You look wrecked!”

Jacob laughed, “And you look like you would get married in the past.”

Jacob quickly surmised the one solution that had come to everyone’s mind, but none wanted to acknowledge it.

Liam closed his eyes and hung his head. He had never felt that helpless in his entire life.

James had the same reaction. But he was also curious about Jacob’s desolation.

They were good friends. Was he in love with Mariana?

He shook his head. He needed to focus on the critical matter. He looked at Mariana to find she was already looking at him.

For the first time in his life, he saw affection and reluctance in Mariana’s eyes for himself.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

It hurt. What could have been a joyous moment – hurt like hell. He knew she had already decided.

It also concerned her mother’s health and sanity and her own reputation.

James went to her and hugged her. He murmured, “It’s okay. Whatever you decide, I will behave. Nothing will change.”

Liliana asked Liam, “Are you sure?”

Liam laughed in despair – “Does it matter?”

Liliana snorted!

They had come up with an unusual solution, and it changed everything.
