A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 487

Mary shook her head as she lowered her gaze, feeling a lump in her throat. "It's nothing, Mr. Xi. I'm fine."

James frowned, seeming a bit unhappy because of her response. "Tell me!"

"I have no idea what happened, but Mrs. Xi doesn't want me to take care of the boys anymore. I'm just sad that I've been relieved of my duties. It's nothing serious, but thank you for your concern, Mr. Xi." Her eyes welled up with tears. Any man would've felt sorry for her, but James was not just any man.

The only woman he cared about and believed in was Maria. And she was the only one he begged to marry him.

In an indifferent tone, he replied, "Just do as she says. From now on, whether I'm home or not, you must respect her opinions and instructions. Didn't John tell you about this already?"

At this time, Maria happened to be standing at the door of the children's room and listening in on their conversation. What he said put a smile on her face.

Naturally, Mary was shocked to hear his comment on this matter. She had no idea that James was capable of being so heartless. "Yes, he has told us about it. I understand, Mr. Xi."

This time, he didn't even say a word in response to her remark. He just went to the children's room in silence.

Inside the room, Maria was on her way to the bed. The moment she heard the door open, she looked at James, but didn't say anything to him.

She leaned against the headboard and fiddling with her phone.

James walked over and embraced her. In order to get what he wanted, he laid down his pride and tried to persuade her. "Honey, just once, okay?"

Maria yawned. Her attitude didn't seem as harsh as before. "You know, I might be convinced to have sex with you tonight."

"Under what condition?" He then walked out of the room, carrying her along.

"You can invest in a new company that I want to build!"

James was intrigued by this request. Lately, she had been so busy every single day. How could she still have the energy to start another company? "Fine," he agreed readily.

Maria looked back at him and said, "I remember when I asked you to invest in one of my ideas. Back then, it took you so long to finally agree to my request. Why are you being so decisive this time?"

"That was before. From now on, your wish is my command."

For now, she decided to believe him. "I want to open a modeling company."

James kicked the door to their bedroom open with his foot. In the darkness, he pressed her against the door and said, "Granted."

"And I'll have fun with the male models." Last time, before she even had the chance to have fun with Kenny, he was called away, which was quite disheartening.

Just when James was about to kiss her, he stopped to look at her with displeasure. "Honey, that's a very dangerous idea."

It was his fault that she came up with such a crazy idea. He had been far too obedient to her demands recently that he hadn't had sex with her for a long time.

Maria cupped his face and smiled. "I'm single now, so I have the freedom to do whatever I want. Of course, you're free to sleep around with as many women as you want, too."

Hearing that made James bite her lower lip. Maria groaned in pain. "You bastard!"

"I just want to sleep with you." He was planning to fuck her until those crazy ideas were dissipated from her head.

Maria fell silent yet again.

What made her upset was that he didn't keep his promise. She had agreed to do it once, but he completely ignored her feelings and didn't let her sleep until midnight.

As a result, the next morning, Maria was unable to send Bob to kindergarten because she was still asleep at nine o'clock.

Never again would she trust James on anything.

When it was nearing noon, he received a call. "Mr. Xi, Mrs. Xi entered a pharmacy."
