A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 479

Before Maria could completely awaken, James had already been inside her.

In her mind, Maria was cursing him over and over. 'This wretched man! All he can think of is sex!'

She wanted to give him a piece of his mind, but James shushed her.

That was when Maria remembered that their children were in bed along with them. However, when she looked around, she realized that only she and James were left. "Where are they?"

"In the children's room," he replied flatly.

Maria fell silent.

If that was the case, then she was in so a deep a sleep earlier that she didn't even realize that her children had been transferred to another room.

She was still half-asleep. Before she could think of her two sons, she was immersed in the pleasure James brought her.

The following morning, Maria was still sleeping upstairs while James was having breakfast with their sons downstairs.

After breakfast, before sending Bob to kindergarten, James said to John, "Tell everyone in the villa that Maria is Mrs. Xi."

John understood why his boss would give that command. "Understood, Mr. Xi!"

In less than five minutes, while Maria was still asleep, everyone in the entire manor found out about her identity.

John told everyone that her status was as high as James' in this family. They must treat Maria the same way he would treat him.

Mary, who had been looking after Boston, felt embarrassed. She had been dreaming that James would fall in love with her, but she had no idea that Maria would suddenly appear.

Once Maria woke up, she moved back to the Golden Mansion in the afternoon.

As soon as Norman heard about it, he called her. "You're back? Well, now that you've returned, why don't you come back to the company and start working?"

"Thanks to you, I'm back," Maria replied coldly. She would always remember that it was Norman and Lawrence who convinced the abbess not to let her become a nun.

However, her indifference towards him just left him confused. "Do you not want to go back to the company?"

"What else am I supposed to do if I don't return? I wonder what's wrong with some people. They did something to drag me down, and they act as if nothing happened."

Sensing her sarcasm, Norman replied, "For example?"

"For example, when I was set to become a nun, a certain Mr. Shen did his best to convince the abbess of JT Nunnery to prevent me from becoming one."

It turned out that this was the reason behind her anger. However, Norman didn't feel ashamed of what

he had done. "I did it for the good of the nunnery. Think about it. If you did become a nun, James would probably try to destroy the nunnery by any means necessary."

Maria was rendered speechless. It was true that James had the tendency to do that sort of thing.

"Perhaps DS Group still has a chance to be listed," Norman remarked.

Displeased with his words, Maria said, "You're a capable man, Norman. Why isn't DS Group listed yet after almost three years of your leadership?"

"What does DS Group have to do with me? It was already kind enough of me to have asked someone to take care of it in your absence. If anyone should bring DS Group to becoming listed, it should be James. You're his wife, not mine," Norman said matter-of-factly.

Once more, Maria didn't know how to respond. He was right, after all. "I'm in no hurry to go back. I think I'm going to wait for a little while longer."

It had only been two days since she returned to H City. Everything was still unstable, so she wasn't in any hurry to take over the company again.

However, Norman was growing more and more anxious by the day. "Look, even if you're not in a hurry, I am! Just take over DS Group and Fosun Entertainment Group as soon as possible. Otherwise, they're going bankrupt. It has nothing to do with me."

For the past few years, he had been busy as a bee, and he had been postponing the development of his relationship with Mildred.

Even Cooper had enough time to get engaged to Sandra now. He, on the other hand, still had no progress with Mildred. How could he not be anxious about it?

"Fine. Just wait a few more days." Norman had been waiting for her return for so long. A few more days wouldn't matter.

"That's more like it."
