A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 383

Maria snorted. "Don't confuse the public like this. I never agreed to your proposal. How could you call me your wife?"

"You are going to be my wife sooner or later, so I might as well start calling you that in advance. Besides, me calling you that has nothing to do with whether we remarry or not," James said cheekily. In fact, it didn't even matter whether she accepted the ring or not. She would always be his woman, even if they didn't get remarried.

"James, you're so bossy. Be careful not to scare me away," Maria said coolly, raising her glass of wine.

James just smirked at her. He would never let her run away! He raised his glass of wine and clinked glasses with her. "Happy Valentine's Day, honey."

"Happy Valentine's Day!" Maria echoed before taking a sip of the wine. At this moment, she was filled with genuine happiness.

If possible, she wanted to feel this way for the rest of her life.

After dinner, she playfully said, "I haven't prepared any Valentine's Day gift for you, except maybe the dinner. Do you mind? How about I give you a beautiful woman?"

"I'm satisfied with the dinner. I don't need a woman."

"No?"

"No!" James refused decisively.

Maria nodded. "Okay then. I'm leaving now!" she said,

turning away.

It was only then that James realized she was referring to herself. With a chuckle, he embraced her from behind. "If you're offering yourself to me, how can I refuse?" he said gently.

Maria scoffed. "You just said no!"

He planted a kiss on the top of her hair and said, "I was confused just now!"

She beamed as she turned to look at him. "Kiss me."

James lowered his head without hesitation and kissed her deeply.

Their love was like a blooming flower, fragrant and refreshing.

The next day, James brought Bob back home. The moment the little boy saw his mother, he grinned from ear to ear and reached out his little hands to hug her.

Jealous that Bob looked much happier to see his mother than him, James held the boy tightly in his arms, and even turned around to block Maria from his view.

However, Bob tilted his head and continued to look at Maria, calling out to her in his baby language.

Maria was afraid that the boy would burst into tears, so she tried to take him away from James' arms. "You poor baby, come here. Let Mommy hug you."

However, James turned away, not letting her hold Bob.

Maria could do nothing but heave an impatient sigh as she watched Bob burst into tears, just like she had expected. Only then did James hold out the little boy to her. "Make him stop," he urged. He hadn't thought that the baby would cry so easily.

Maria rolled her eyes at him. "It's your son, make him stop on your own."

James wanted to argue, but thought better of it and walked into the living room with the crying baby in his arms.

However, the farther he walked from Maria, the more Bob cried. In the end, Maria couldn't bear to hear her baby wailing like this, so she took him from James' arms.

After a few seconds of being rocked up and down in her arms, the little boy's tears ceased, and the trace of a smile glimmered in his glassy eyes.

"What an ungrateful child," James sneered, looking at the two of them in annoyance. Bob had forgotten that he was the one who had brought him back home.

"Are you seriously scolding a baby?" Maria asked helplessly.

"No," James denied and turned away quickly.

Shaking her head, Maria carried Bob to the playroom, which was full of blind boxes.

She picked up a doll that she had just taken out from one of the blind boxes to put in the display cabinet, and handed it to him. "Here you are! If it falls to the floor, it will break..."

Before she could even finish her words, Bob loosened his grip and the doll fell to the floor.

The thin neck of the doll snapped, and the two broken pieces of the doll rolled away in opposite directions.

It was at this moment that James appeared at the door. Maria moved aside to let him see the broken pieces on the floor. "Your son broke it. Buy me a new one.

"I'm not the one who broke it. Ask your son to buy it," James retorted. He wouldn't let her blackmail him so easily.
