A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 186 I Want Them All

Maria got interested when she saw the comment. It seemed that this follower was in H City. Otherwise, they wouldn't have known about Lawrence and Ethan. After all, they had always kept a low profile.

The follower asked, "Who is the most handsome among James Xi, Lawrence Lu, and Ethan Nan? And if you will be asked to choose one of them to be your boyfriend, who will you choose?"

Using her dummy account "Someone James Longs For, " she replied, "Only fools will choose. I want them all." But of course, James was her number one.

Maria was so engrossed in exchanging comments with the netizens that she didn't notice the footsteps approaching behind her.

She was sending the reply when the man stood beside her. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

'Someone James Longs For, ' the man read her username in silence. Not only the content of her reply caught his attention, but also the username she was using.

Maria suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She raised her head to look at the sky outside the window when she unexpectedly met a pair of deep-set black eyes.

She immediately closed her laptop and put on a bright and sweet smile. "Hi, James! You are back. I know that you're always busy. Why are you home so early today?" She sounded so polite, but deep inside her, she was already bitching about him. James walked like a ghost, so she didn't notice that he had entered the study.

It seemed that he was right. Now, not only her combat effectiveness but also her perception had declined.

James stared at Maria without saying anything. Obviously, he had seen the username she was using and her reply to the comment.

Maria had to endure his deadly gaze.

But after a while, she couldn't take it anymore. She stood up and held his waist. "What did you see? You didn't see anything, right?"

James pursed his thin lips, and his jaws tightened. "You don't only want to be someone I long for, but you also want to hook up with Lawrence and Ethan. Maria Song, how bold you are!" Both of them were absolutely intolerable to him.

'Good lord! He's staring daggers at me.' Maria was petrified. She secretly swore that she would never talk nonsense again in the future.

Maria had to please James, so she hurriedly took the coat from his arm and walked towards the clothes rack, saying, "Oh, I didn't write that. Maybe you've just misread it."

James was rendered speechless. Did she think he was blind?

He just let her take off his tie and then his shirt.

As she unbuttoned his shirt one by one, her fingertips always touched his chest. He wasn't sure whether she was doing it intentionally or not. When she finished unfastening all the buttons, she stretched out her hand and felt his pecs. 'So strong,' she thought to herself.

James' face darkened. He knew that Maria was taking advantage of him aboveboard.

"Where is that thing I've asked you to bring me?" He didn't ask her earlier, but she didn't take the initiative to bring it to him either.

"Well, didn't you throw it in the trash can last time?" At the thought of it, Maria's mood went bad in an instant.

Seeing her lying, he sneered, "There was no such thing in the trash can."

"Did you pick it up?" Maria looked at James with amusement.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. "Summer did."

She believed him. She rolled her eyes and was about to leave.

However, James stretched out his arms and held her waist. He lifted her up and put her on the desk behind her.

The desk was not low, so their sights were parallel when she sat there.

Maria was about to push him away. But when she remembered what had happened just now, she wrapped her arms around his neck and suggested with a smile, "Shall we go back to our room?" Then she added, "That thing I brought for you is in the bedroom."

It was true. She put it in the bedroom's drawer. Of course, she couldn't carry such kind of stuff with her all the time, could she?

"Wait a minute. We’re not in a hurry anyway."

Maria was rendered speechless. What else could she do? She had to agree.

James' large palms hovered around her waist. Then he pulled her closer to him.

Maria was wearing a brown long sleeve dress and a pair of black stockings. It was his first time to see her wearing stockings. After all, it was summer when she came back. It was only recently that the weather had started to turn cold.

But what a pity that with a little strength, the pair of stockings ended its life in his hands.

Maria lost her tongue again. She wondered why he had to tear her stockings off.

James began to nibble her ear affectionately. Then his hot and wet lips moved down to her neck and collarbones. She couldn't help but shiver and close her eyes.

While she was savoring the heat of his kisses, she heard him ask, "How many men are you interested in?"

"Hmm... only one—only you." 'Gosh, I am being forced,' she exclaimed inwardly.

"Tell me."

What else did she have to tell him? She had just answered his question, didn't she? She had told him that she was only interested in him. Wasn't that enough?

After a long time, Maria said, almost crying, "Listen to me, okay? I'm not interested in Lawrence or Ethan anymore. Otherwise, I will become a puppy." 'Woof! Woof! Woof!" she barked inwardly.

How could she not be interested in them? Lawrence and Ethan were all handsome like James. She was a normal woman.

But after this, she should not be interested in them anymore. Or at least not to show it in front of him.

"What else?" James asked again.

'What else?' Maria reechoed in her mind. She thought for a while and realized perhaps he was still annoyed with her username.

So she reluctantly promised, "I will change it after getting down from this desk."

James was too greedy for the pleasure of completely conquering Maria. Hearing her beg for mercy made him happy both physically and mentally.

He didn't care what kind of method he had to use on her as long as he could make her give in.

At two o'clock in the morning, James carried Maria out of the bathroom and put her on the bed. He then turned around and went back to the bathroom.

He was so busy bathing her just now that he didn't have time to care about himself.

Twenty minutes later, he finished tidying himself up and walked out of the bathroom. He thought that Maria was already sleeping.

But she wasn't.

She lay on the edge of the bed, squinting and watching his every move.

James went to the closet to get his clothes. When he walked out, Maria was still in the same position. He threw the bath towel aside and asked, "Aren't you sleepy?" It seemed that her energy had not been drained yet. He admitted that it was his fault.

"I am." Of course, she was very sleepy. It was just that she had something more important to tell him than sleeping.

"Go ahead." He seemed to have read her mind.

"Lay down beside me. Let's sleep together," Maria said lazily.

James' hands that were buttoning up his shirt paused for a moment. He then turned to her and said, "I'm not used to sleeping with someone beside me."

It wasn't a lie. He was really used to sleeping alone.

Maria knew that he wouldn't stay, but she didn't buy his excuse at all.

She was getting used to it anyway. So why would she expect him to stay? "Forget it."

She turned over and covered her head with the quilt. In an instant, she didn't want to say anything anymore.

Maria felt annoyed.

But James remembered something. He put on his pants and sat on the edge of the bed. "Don't pull Judy into the mire."

He was sure that she heard him.

Under the quilt, Maria couldn't help but sneer. How confident was he that she would listen to him? Who did he think he was?

Just as many people could that land pull down, she wouldn't let go of any of them.

She pretended not to hear him. And when she showed her head again, her expression had returned to normal. "I'm going to have dinner with Mr. Wang of YM Group in the next two days. Would you like to join us?"

James wondered if she wanted him to be a middleman.

"For Mr. Wang, your company is not enough to cooperate with his company," he reminded her in a flat tone. Her company was just a start-up and didn't meet YM Group's standards.
