A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 483

James was amused by his sons childish voice. Pretending to be cool, he said, That all depends on your future behavior."

"I'll be on my best behavior, Dad."

"Good."

James took Coy back to the villa and handed him to the maid, asking her to bathe the boy.

Now, only he and Maria were left in the living room. It was only until then that she finally breathed a sigh of relief. This day had been quite an exhausting one for her.

James put his arm around her shoulders. "You should go upstairs and get some rest!"

"I'll sleep with the kids," she replied flatly.

James had added a bunk bed in Bob's room, so that Maria could sleep in the boy's old king-sized bed.

"Fine." In order to convince her to stay in the manor, James had no choice but to agree to her demands.

When Maria went to Bob's room, she found him sleeping soundly and unaware of what was happening outside.

He didn't even notice that Coy had gone out in secret.

Then, Maria kissed Bob's forehead before she went into the bathroom.

By the time she came out of the bathroom, Coy had already fallen asleep. James had just transferred him from the big bed to the lower berth of the bunk bed.

Before he left, he pecked Maria's lips and said, "Good night, honey."

"Just call me Maria from now on."

"Let's talk about that some other time."

Maria didn't say anything else after that.

The following morning, she thought that she must lock the door before going to bed next time.

As long as James was at home, she would probably wake up in his arms the next morning.

And just like today, the moment she opened her eyes, she saw him embracing her and sleeping soundly.

Overnight, the man had grown stubbles around his mouth.

She wanted to turn over and shimmy out of his arms, but he suddenly pressed her under his body and kissed her lips.

Maria was startled. 'So he was just pretending to be asleep?'

Luckily, they were in the children's room, so James didn't do anything notorious to her. Before the brothers could wake up, he decided to let go of Maria.

While he was getting out of bed, she kicked his back. James turned about to grab her foot and kiss it.

Once more, Maria fell silent. 'Is he a foot fetishist now?¹

Of the two kids, Bob was the first one to wake up. His body clock had grown accustomed to waking up earlier because he had to go to kindergarten later.

Meanwhile, Coy was still fast asleep. James took Bob to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, leaving Maria and Coy sleeping in the bedroom.

A few days later, James took Coy to Africa.

Bob insisted on seeing his father, and brother off at the airport along with Maria. In the end, she agreed to his son's request and they all went to the airport together.

Before they boarded the plane, Maria reminded James, "Coy is a naughty boy. Don't be soft-hearted on him. When you have to punish him, do so willingly. Otherwise, he's going to cause a lot of trouble."

He looked into her eyes and pulled her into his arms. Regardless of her reluctance, he kissed her. "Yes, ma'am!" Before she lost her temper, he let her go. He then turned around and walked along the VIP passage with Coy.

Maria was left speechless.

Coy looked back at her, snickering and making a face. "Daddy and Mommy were kissing. How embarrassing!"

Maria raised her fist to frighten him, causing the boy to trot away with his father as fast as he could.
