Maria was about to lose her temper when she realized how adorable her children looked at the moment.
The mere sight of their crying faces softened her heard. "Don't cry anymore. I'll take you home first, okay?"
"Okay. Thanks, Mommy," said Bob.
Her words put a smile on Coy's face. "Thanks, Mom! I want to sleep with Daddy, Mommy, and Bob tonight."
Maria fell silent yet again.
Unbeknownst to her, James was smiling and giving his sons a thumbs-up sign.
The kids sat back, giggling among themselves.
Hearing the noise, Maria turned around.
Immediately, the two brothers stopped what they were doing, and behaved themselves.
Maria was confused. Just now, she heard them giggling like imps.
James noticed that she was growing suspicious, but he would never rat out his sons.
Soon, the car arrived at the manor. It had been over two years since Maria came here. The only reason she returned was because of her children.
In the past, she had thought that she would never come back to this place, but her promise to herself was now broken.
The maids were all surprised to see Maria, especially when they saw what she was wearing. If Bob and Coty hadn't called her their mom, they would've thought she was a nun that James had invited into their home.
James was walking in front, while Maria was walking with the two kids, each holding onto her hands.
The maids greeted them at the door. "Welcome back."
Two uniformed maids came to take Bob and Coy. They couldn't resist the urge to look at Maria a few more times.
While they were looking at her, Maria was also staring at them from head to toe.
She wanted to know which maid had the balls to maltreat her son. Although she was now a pacifist, it didn't mean that she would allow her sons to be pushed around.
All the maids present were quite young. Most of them were in their twenties, and the oldest one seemed to be thirty years old. And on top of that, they were all attractive.
It appeared as though James was enjoying a harem of beautiful maids!
The jealousy that had been residing at the bottom of her heart was now gradually being reawakened.
Upon noticing the way Maria was looking at them, the maids greeted her. "Good afternoon, ma'am."
She nodded at them and said. "Good afternoon. Thank you for looking after Bob and Coy." "You're welcome. It's our pleasure, and our duty." Now that they were in the villa, Bob and Coy began to play with their toys. Maria felt uneasy. She hadn't been here for a long time, so she felt like she didn't fit in.
James put his arm around her shoulders. She wanted to avoid it, but it was too late.
When their eyes met, he said, "I've asked them to prepare some clothes for you. I'll go upstairs with you so you can change into something more comfortable."
For a moment, Maria hesitated. She looked at her sons as they were playing, and finally decided to refuse. "No. I have to go back later."
"I've already asked my people to bring back your things from the nunnery. Go upstairs and see for yourself. Let me know if they left anything behind."
Maria had a bad feeling about this. "Why did you ask someone to bring my stuff here?"
"Maria, you have a family. You have a husband and two sons. Staying in the nunnery does not suit you."
Glaring at him, Maria replied, "I'm a nun already. You don't get to decide whether staying in the nunnery suits you or not."
