A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 181

At that moment, a little girl's voice came from behind them. "Uncle, you made Aunt cry. You're not good to her!"

James and Maria turned at the same time and saw a little girl running out of nowhere with braided hair. She stared at them with her doe eyes.

Maria looked quite wronged. Choking a sob, she complained, "Look! Even a child can see that you aren't good to me. You mistreat me!"

James was speechless. Seeing the aggrieved look on her face, his anger disappeared.

The little girl's mother rushed after her. She apologized to James and Maria as she dragged her daughter away.

"Stop crying," James said awkwardly.

"No! You aren't good to me!" Maria kept weeping.

James sighed helplessly. "What do you want?"

Maria took a deep breath. Holding back her tears, she looked around. Finally, her gaze fell on the milk tea shop. It wasn't far from where they were, but there was a waiting line. "I want to have my first cup of milk tea in autumn. Go and buy it for me to warm up my heart."

She hadn't had a single cup of milk tea the whole summer, let alone in autumn. She just wanted to see how sincere James was.

'A cup of milk tea will warm up her heart? I don't think Einstein could understand a woman's cravings,' James thought.

Looking at the milk tea shop nearby, James noticed that over a dozen people were waiting in line. With a slight frown, he asked, "How much is a cup of milk tea?"

Since he never had milk tea before, and there was no such shop under HL Group, Maria picked a number of her own choice. "Five hundred and twenty-one dollars." The pronunciation of the number sounded quite similar to "I love you" in Mandarin Chinese.

James pulled the phone out of his jacket pocket and transferred 5,210,000 dollars to her. Then he said, "The money has been transferred. Take it and buy it yourself.

As she heard the message alert, Maria took out her phone and looked at it in astonishment.

It wasn't a big deal that James gave her the money, but he transferred millions of dollars to her in the blink of an eye. He was indeed rich!

Once again, Maria had her theory proved right. Wiring someone a big sum of money was a more effective way to make them happy than caring for her verbally.

In any case, her broken heart was mended immediately.

"Are you leaving or not?" the man asked again.

Maria nodded decisively. "Sure."

The two then got into the car together. Once the door was closed, the car started and roared away.

It was not until James looked out of the window that he realized something important.

There was no reason for him to treat Maria well.

He was hasty to give in.

He frowned, wondering if Maria had deliberately sent that cute little girl to soften him.

"I want to go back to my hotel room," said Maria. She had things to deal with at night.

James glanced at her and replied, "No, let's go to Fairview Villa."

"I must go back to the hotel. I'm not in the mood tonight."

As their eyes met, it was clear neither of them wanted to give in. But in the end, James compromised and didn't force her. After dropping her off at the hotel, James asked the driver to take him back to the company.

In her room, Maria spent the night working. It was quite late when she went to bed.

Early the next morning, Lawrence left H City. James couldn't help but feel at peace knowing this.

Although he realized that Lawrence and Maria were in a fake relationship before, he still didn't like it one bit.

In the villa

Furious, Maria kicked James' table and said, "Why are you so arrogant? You know what? It doesn't matter because one day, I'll make you kneel and admit you were defeated by me!"

As he heard this, James answered listlessly, "I didn't mean to be arrogant."

"Well, then you'd better remember this conversation so it won't happen again! Ha-ha!"

The next moment, she woke up laughing.
