A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 205

After a few minutes, the bathroom door swung open.

"I'm done," said Maria.

James frowned slightly. "Done? Then, come out already."

'What does she want? Order me around?' he wondered.

Sure enough, what she said next proved his guess.

"I don't have the strength to move, my legs are buckling from under me. This is all your fault." She looked at him with large, innocent-looking eyes.

James was speechless. This woman was really something.

He grabbed a bath towel in exasperation and hastily wrapped her up. Then he carried her in his arms and put her in the bed.

Maria threw her hands around the man's neck and planted a kiss on his lips. She enjoyed seeing how James was forced to help her.

James tucked her under the quilt and snapped impatiently, "Go to sleep."

"Fine. Are you leaving now?"

"Yes." He couldn't take sleeping in such a small hotel.

Maria knew that, but was still disappointed.

After briefly tidying up the bathroom, James came out and told the sleepy woman, "Figure out when you'll check out from here. You can stay in the Fairview Villa." Actually, he had brought this up more than once, but she had stubbornly turned him down each time.

"No thanks. I have to move out when you and Alina get married. Why bother?" she answered in a sleepy voice.

"I'll ask Summer to transfer ownership of that villa to you."

"No, thanks. That villa is way too old."

"Then I'll buy you a new one," James said patiently.

"No, thanks. I have money."

That shut him up. He put on his clothes in silence and left the room.

With James gone, a hush fell over the room. Maria pursed her lips in disappointment.

'How could he be so picky? He could've refused to come here if he didn't like the hotel.'

But his proposal lingered in her mind. The truth was, Maria also felt that it was time to leave the hotel, she was tired of staying there.

As soon as James got in the car, his phone rang. To his surprise, it was Maria. "I've thought about it. Buy me a house. I want to move out."

James was speechless for a moment. Infuriated, he had half a mind to go back up there and kill that woman. "You have money, don't you? Buy yourself a house."

"I don't have enough to buy an entire house. I could only afford a bathroom."

"Then just stay in a bathroom!"

"Do you want to have sex with me in a bathroom?" she asked.

Once again, James was floored by her words. Without another word, he hung up on her.

Maria stared at the phone in her hand and giggled. She knew James would end up buying her a house.

Right now, she was more than willing to accept any money. She didn't want to be an independent woman, she just wanted to rely on James.

To put it bluntly, she was nothing but a mistress to James now. In this society, money was everything. Since that was the case, she couldn't afford to put on any airs.

If anyone was going to offer her any, she was going to take it.

Before long, the verdict of Ronald's first trial came out. He was sentenced to three years and six months in prison.

But he refused to accept it and the Tang family scrambled to find a good lawyer to make an appeal.
