A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 471

Maria led them into the nunnery and let them to sit at a table. Ethan slid something across the table towards her and said, "Maria, I think you should congratulate us!"

Maria then picked it up and found that it was a wedding invitation. With a smile, she said, "Congratulations! I wish you both a happy marriage and a harmonious relationship for the rest of your lives!"

Viola smiled back at her and nodded. "Thank you."

"The wedding will be held on the first day of next month. I'd really love it if you could attend!" said Ethan.

"Ms. Song, we'd really love to have you at our wedding," Viola echoed. On their way there, Ethan had briefed her about the purpose of their visit today; it was to convince Maria to attend their wedding no matter what.

Wearing the same smile, Maria said bluntly, "Ethan, as you already know, I've been here for more than two years. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't leave the nunnery."

"Yes, that's right. But I'm marrying Viola. How could that be a normal circumstance? Come on, tell me I'm right, Maria,"

Ethan retorted. Maria fell silent. It was only natural that she would suspect that these two were sent by James to convince her to leave the nunnery.

Unseen by Maria, Ethan winked at Viola. Reluctantly, she followed his instruction earlier. "Ms. Song, marriage is a big deal. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Ethan wants all his relatives and friends to witness our happiest day. To him, you're like a sister. He'll be really sad if you don't come."

"That's right. I think of you as my own sister. And if you don't attend my wedding, I won't be happy on my own wedding." After all, James was his best friend. He was a powerful man, and he always had the final say.

Faced by their incessant pleading, Maria grew ever more certain that James convinced them to do this.

Viola didn't seem to be that talkative, but she said a lot of things just now. What she said sounded more like what Ethan would say.

With a smile, Maria asked, "What did James promise to give you?"

Ethan was taken aback for a moment. After a short pause, he answered seriously, "I'll admit that he does give me stuff every now and then, but this time, it's different. Don't overthink it, Maria. Viola and I just really want you to be at our wedding. Maria, you used to be one of the most famous female entrepreneurs in the city, and you've been out of public sight for over two years. If you show up at my wedding, it will definitely cause a sensation. My wedding will become livelier beyond my wildest imaginations!"

Viola was secretly surprised to hear that. It turned out that this nun was actually the legendary businesswoman of H City.

Meanwhile, Maria still didn't buy Ethan's bullshit. There were other people with much higher status than hers. But since the couple-to-be had come to her in person, she didn't have the heart to refuse them outright. "It warms my heart to know that you think so highly of me, but I don't think it's appropriate if I show up in public in my current image. How about this? I'll be there to send you my best wishes, and then come back right away."

The moment she promised that she would leave the nunnery, Ethan didn't worry about the rest anymore. "It's a deal!"

When it was time for Ethan and Viola to leave, Coy had climbed the date tree to pick some of its fruits. He then got down from the tree, held the dates, and gave them to Viola. "Auntie, have some dates."

Refusing a child's kindness was rather hard for her, so Viola decided to take two of the dates. "Thank you, Coy."

Ethan wanted to take two as well, but the boy wouldn't allow him. "Uncle, I'll give you some, but you have to promise that you're not going to tell my mommy that I climbed the tree."

Feeling dejected, Ethan replied, "Won't your mother find out even if I don't tell her?"

"Of course, she won't!" said the boy.

"In that case..." Ethan took out his phone, took a picture of the boy, and blackmailed him. "I'm going to tell your mom that you did climb the tree, and here's a picture to prove it. After all, you did tell her that Viola was your wife!"

Startled, Coy said, "Fine! Here you go. You can have them all."

Ethan put on a smug smile, put away his phone and said, "Now, that's more like it!" He only took one date and ate it right away. "Hurry up and go back to your mom. We're leaving now!"

"Bye, Uncle. Bye, Auntie!" Coy exclaimed.

"Bye!" After watching the car drive into the distance,

the boy ran back to the yard to find his mother and eat dates with her.

Maria gleaned that he climbed the tree again. However, she didn't have the heart to punish him when she saw how innocent he looked while asking her to eat dates with him. 'Never mind. I'll let this slide this time for the sake of his filial piety.'

But she still needed to warn him about something. "Did you know that a few days ago, a child climbed a tree and fell down, injuring his leg?"
