My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Amidst light-hearted conversation and food cooked by Liliana, the kids and adults all had a good time.

During dinner, Liliana asked, “Ready to face the music, Liam!”

Liam shook his head, “God help me! I have half a mind to leave Kyle under your care and never tell anyone.”

Kyle interrupted, “I am okay with that.”

Li countered him, “No. That’s not acceptable. He is your son. You must grant him his rightful place in the family.”

Liam signed heavily, “I never said I was going to hide him. He is a Preston. He has a place in the family tree. It’s just exhausting having to explain who his mother was.”

Kyle looked down sadly, “It’s alright Daddy. I have Mommy Lil. You don’t have to feel bad.”

Lil shot a dirty look at Liam and explained, “What he meant was his family would want to know her whereabouts, which family she was from, and all the details. Liam respects your mother too much to dig into her background after she has been long gone. The people who don’t know this might take his silence to mean he has something to hide, while the truth is the opposite.”

Kyle looked up at her as she caressed his head, “She was an admirable woman and he does not want to disrespect her by discussing her heritage after she is no longer in this world. That conversation is only for you when you grow up and want to understand your roots. Not for others to poke their noses into.”

Liam looked at Liliana gratefully who scrunched her nose at him.

Kyle looked at her and smiled, “I understand now, Mommy.”

Liliana pinched his cheek and explained, “I had twins and I was in poor health after delivery, so were the kids. It was difficult enough to breastfeed them. When your mother passed away, I breastfed you to repay her gratitude. Unknowingly, she ended up giving you a mother, and me another child in her last few days. Don’t ever doubt her place in Liam’s heart and don’t ever think badly of her. You are lucky to be her blood.”

Kyle looked at her solemnly and explained, “I know, Mommy. I was just worried about Daddy. He should also have someone in his life. After all, my mother has passed away.”

Liam rolled his eyes at him, “You focus on growing up, Kyle. I will take care of my business.”

The kids laughed at him. He was exasperated as Liliana also joined them.

Jonathan had never been around kids much and he certainly had never seen six-year-olds being treated as adults.

But listening to them talking about adult matters so seriously with the kids was an eye-opener.

Moreover, the kids also seemed to be smart enough to understand them.

But what surprised him the most was that they did not bother to hide things in his presence. He was after all a nobody to them.

After lunch, Liam and Kyle left for the Preston residence.

Liliana kissed Kyle and said, “Give me a call whenever you want to come here and I will send someone to pick you up. Your room was prepared along with Jo and Li’s room.”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Kyle was teary-eyed as he kissed her all over the face and left.

Liam made a phone gesture to Liliana as he drove out.
