My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Liliana then introduced the little guy, “This is Kyle Preston, who is also my Godson. Kyle is three days younger than Jo and Li. I met Kyle’s mom when we were both in the hospital. We both had a complicated pregnancy and had the same doctor. She was a great woman. I am quite indebted to her.”

Jonathan offered a handshake to Kyle just like he had done with Liam, rather than treating him like a child.

This created a good impression on Kyle.

“It’s nice to meet you, Little soldier.” He said.

Kyle held his hands on his smaller ones with what was his best attempt at a firm handshake.

“The pleasure is mine, Mr. Smith. Hope we have an amicable relationship as your contributions to the city’s economy are outstanding.” Kyle said, which stunned Jonathan.

“The pleasure is all mine. I will ensure I don’t break any laws. It is bad for business to have an enemy in the force.” Jonathan replied immediately.

“That’s enough introductions. Let’s go in.” Liliana said, breaking the handshake between Kyle and Jonathan.

“I missed you, Kyle. Liam is a heartless bastard who would not let me bring you along with Jo and Li.” Liliana told Kyle as she picked him up and kissed his face.

“I know Mommy. Daddy can be such a bore sometimes. He did not even cook for me. Six weeks I had to suffer from canteen food, and no takeaways either.” Kyle complained right away.

“You brat! I told you I was busy and Eric was there anyway.” Liam gnashed his teeth.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Go away, Liam.” Liliana pushed him as she took Kyle and headed in first.

Jonathan listened to them lost in thought.

He had noticed a pattern in Liliana’s introductions and explanations. It was weird like you were introducing families, not business partners or recent acquaintances.

Yet, there was a clear line between them.

He was confused about their dynamic. It was just business, yet it was not.

He shook his head and looked around. It was his first time coming to her house.

The security struck him. It was better than that in an airport.

They had to get out of the car at the gate. The valet would check and park the car. Their luggage would get scanned and they had to walk through a scanner. Though it was wide enough to not be a hindrance.

Who was she?

They all went inside the inner gate after Liliana entered her fingerprint, a code, and voice command.

What’s with the security?

“Li, Jo, look who is here?” Liliana said as soon as they had changed the shoes.

“Kyle! Daddy Liam! Mom’s partner!” Jo answered as she dashed towards them.

Liam picked her up and started chatting with her.

Li made his way towards them quietly like a little gentleman.

They sat down and talked like family, like allies. Jonathan was not sure.
