My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Jonathan listened thoughtfully and agreed that it was most likely the case. He could see it was quite within Vivian’s character, even though he had never paid attention to her.

Liliana looked at him for a while and asked, “What’s your story?”

Jonathan looked at her in surprise, “My story?”

Liliana smiled, “Everyone has a story.”

Jonathan thought for a while and answered, “I don’t have any story.”

She looked at him in the eyes and asked, “I can see the sadness and longing in your eyes. What makes you sad?”

He tried to maintain his composure and not blurt out, “You!”

As she spun back to his arms, he answered, “I was stupid and blind and was fooled by others. I missed what was most precious to me.”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

She asked, “Is that why you channeled all your energy into work?”

He nodded, “There isn’t anything else to do.”

She pitied him. In so many ways he was still the 13-year-old brooding boy who seemed too sad.

She looked away to contain her emotions but he caught her overwhelming mixture of emotions nonetheless. He seemed to always catch what she was hiding.

She replied after some time, “Sometimes what you think is lost is just hidden around you. If you look for it, maybe you will find it.”

He gulped. The song ended and the applause brought them back as she scanned around cursorily and looked away with determination in her eyes.

They both bowed to the audience as another song started and others joined in as well.

Jonathan was struck by her expressions. The conflicted expression, scanning the surroundings and turning back composed in a determination. This sequence – he had seen that before.

Henry came to ask her for a dance as Mariana had already ditched him. Liliana danced with Henry who teased her throughout the dance.

“I never knew you could sync so well with others.” He started.

“We have all learned social dancing. It’s only understandable.” She answered him with raised eyes in the provocation.

“Why do I think that the chemistry was off the charts?” He continued.

“Really? That’s what happens when you are so awesome. I can have a great rapport with everyone.” She replied smugly.

“You just don’t want to admit it. I know there is something between you and Jonathan. I may be a little dense but I have known you for seven years, my dear Lil. And Jonathan and I have been friends since childhood.” Henry laid his cards on the table.

“I will tell you when the time is right,” Lil sighed.

“I am placing bets with Jenn,” Henry said confidently.

“Go easy on her,” She chided.

“She always wins the bets,” Henry complained.

They bickered away as they danced for a few songs.

Once they were off the dance floor, other men also asked her but she politely declined.
