A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 341

"The cafe is in the off-season; I want to throw an event to attract more customers," Maria said.

"Okay," James agreed.

Maria got up and knelt on the bed, slipping her arms around his neck as she straddled him. "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Let me think about it." James had never gotten involved in the business of the cafe before.

"How about you ask the planning elites of your company to come up with an event plan for me?"

Hearing this, James looked at her with a faint smile. With one arm, he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. "Will you give them a bonus?"

"Sure, no problem!" she promised, patting her chest. She didn't intend on having a free lunch either.

"How about I come up with an event plan?" James suggested.

A flicker of surprise crossed Maria's eyes. "Are you serious?"

"Of course...not!" He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Maria was speechless. How could this man joke around like a kid?

Before she could react, she found herself being pressed down onto the bed. Leaning over her, James untied the belt of her night robe and whispered, "Beg me."

"Beg you... for what?"

"Beg me to come up with an event plan for you."

Maria couldn't believe the nerve of this man. Sinking her nails into his back, she raised her eyebrow and asked, "Can I refuse?"

"No, you can't." James liked seeing her cry and beg while she was lying under him.

In the best coquettish tone she could muster, Maria fulfilled his demand by saying, "Honey, help me, please! Can you really bear to see such a huge gap between us?"

James' eyes pierced into hers, as if he was thoroughly enjoying every single moment of her act. He replied indifferently, "I'm already used to it. The gap between us is one that can never be reduced. Even if you have a whole lifetime, you won't be able to achieve the amount of wealth and power I have now." There was indeed an enormous difference between the amount of power each of them held, but the frankness of his statement was overwhelming. Feeling like a knife had stabbed her heart, Maria pulled a long face. "So basically, you're looking down on me."

James was a little stunned to hear that. He wondered which part of the things he had just said had given her that idea.

"So you agree?" Maria pressed, seeing that he didn't say anything to rebuke her. Her mood was sinking lower and lower.

James leaned forward and kissed her ear. "There is a way for me to prove that I don't look down on you." In fact, it was the most effective way.

"What?"

"Remarry me," he said.

For a moment, Maria was stunned. It was the first time in a long time that she had heard these two words from him.

She didn't know how to react, so she just smiled and said, "Fine, I believe you now."

Since he was willing to go so far to prove that he didn't look down on her, she believed him.

Seeing her calm reaction, James couldn't help but be a little upset. Did she not want to get remarried?

Well, no matter. He knew that he could make her willingly agree to it sooner or later.

'If he just added a few more words like "I'm serious" or "I really want to remarry you," I would believe what he said. But he didn't.'

Then, realizing what she was hoping for, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. 'Maria, you're only with him because you want to use him. It doesn't matter whether you get remarried or not. Why are you thinking so much about it?'

"Mia," James called out gently.
