A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 27

As she moved, Maria's white lace coat slid down on her arms, revealing her enchanting black tank top. With her so close to him, James could see every curve of her body clearly.

She then sat on James' lap again. Feeling her soft, gentle, and perfumed skin, James' hands didn't resist the temptation to close tightly around her waist. The mix of alcohol and her body scent kept teasing his nostrils. The man's face instantly darkened. "Maria Song, do you have a death wish?"

Ignoring his bad temper, Maria wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered gently in his ear, "James, do you think your girlfriend will mind if I behave like this?"

All kinds of emotions flashed in James' dark eyes, but he didn't say a word. As his breath fluctuated, he looked at her intently, waiting for her next move.

Maria didn't mind his lack of response. Holding his cheek, she pouted, "Well, maybe I'm overthinking this. Maybe your girlfriend isn't so mean after all. If I were your woman, I wouldn't be so petty."

"Really?" the man uttered. Maria was stunned for a moment, but then she nodded with a smile. "Of course!" If she were James' girlfriend, she would immediately blow up the head of anyone who came on to her boyfriend.

James, in turn, had met a lot of hypocritical and scheming women throughout his life. But that was the first time he had seen a woman dare to play such a trick on him.

When he was about to open the door and throw Maria out of the car, she whispered in his ear again, "James, who am I to you in your heart?" Although they didn't love each other at the time they got married, they had shared a bed for over a year. Maria wondered if she meant anything to him to a certain extent.

As the heartless man he was, James didn't know how to coax a woman. Or perhaps, he didn't want to coax her, so he gave her a straight but cruel answer. "You're not in it."

Maria was speechless. She felt as if her heart had just been broken into a million pieces.

She considered that maybe he would dodge the question altogether, but James surprised her by saying she wasn't in his heart at all.

Nonetheless, her confidence was back in an instant. Suppressing the sadness in her heart, Maria blinked and said, "James, why do I feel like I'm sitting on something?" Well, there was something stiffening below her. Without giving her the chance to react, James ordered coldly, "Stop the car!"

The emergency brake sounded especially sharp in the silent night.

The next moment, the Harkim's rear door was opened, and a barefoot woman was ruthlessly thrown out, followed by her leather purse.

Maria staggered but managed to keep her balance. However, if she were wearing her high-heels, her buttocks would be facing the ground right now.

The Harkim roared off ruthlessly after that.

Seeing the luxury car driving away, Maria picked up her purse from the ground and shouted, "James Xi, you bastard!" 'That son of a bitch is not a gentleman at all! He left me in the middle of the road.'

Maria's shoes were also still in his car. She would only damage her feet if she walked around barefoot.

Gasping for breath, Maria remembered what she had just felt in the car and couldn't help bursting into laughter. James might be stubborn, but his body had been honest with her.

With this thought in mind, she was in a great mood. She staggered forward and hummed, "Nice to meet you. Where you been? I could show you incredible things. Magic, madness, heaven, sin. Saw you there and I thought, 'Oh my God, look at that face! You look like my next mistake. Love's a game, wanna play..."

How long had it been since she was so happy?

Maybe she hadn't felt so great since Arthur was gone.

'Arthur, my dear boy, I miss you so much!'

Moved by her son's memory, Maria stopped a taxi on the side of the road and requested to be taken to Fairview Villa.

Half an hour later, she got out of the car and stood in front of her old house's gate again. Only this time, a bunch of uniformed security guards patrolled every inch of the place.
