A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 479 Duel Between Father And Son

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."

He heaved a sigh of relief.

When he found out that Maria had moved back into the Golden Mansion, James didn't persuade her to go back to the manner.

He would drop by the Golden Mansion every night to bring all sorts of expensive gifts. At first, Maria wouldn't even open the door for him. To solve this problem, he used an old trick. He sent someone to escort his sons here to knock at the door. And since her children were here, Maria had no choice but to let all three of them inside.

A few days later, she returned to the company. She took over Fosun Entertainment Group and DS Group at the same time, effectively resuming her position.

What saddened James even more was the fact that he could visit the Golden Mansion with the children, but Maria was still firmly refusing to sleep with him.

In the past few days, Maria and her two sons slept in the same room, while James slept in another one.

One day, while Maria was on a business trip, Sebastian took Bob to Augustine's home. Only two people resided in James' villa. One was James himself, and the other was Coy.

James was holding his newly-bathed son in his arms, and threw him onto the bed. He sat down by the bed and said, "Coy."

Coy sat cross-legged, clasping his hands together, and then he mimicked his mother. "Daddy, I'm a nun." 'Does this kid think he's actually a nun?' James was amused. He would've thought that he had a daughter if Coy wasn't naked at the moment.

He then stood up and threw the boy's pajamas at him. "Put them on," he ordered.

Clumsily, Coy put on his pajamas and looked at James. "Let's go to sleep, Dad!"

"Hang on." James let him lie down first. "I need to talk to you about something." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"What?" The boy's eyes widened with curiosity.

"Do you want to live with Daddy, Mommy, and your brother forever?"

Nodding, Coy replied, "I do!"

"For that to happen, I have to marry your mom, and she must become my wife."

'Wife?' Coy had already learned this word. His eyes lit up, and he sat upright from the bed. "Daddy, if you want to marry Mommy, you have to get my permission first."

He just wanted the boy's help, not ask for his permission. "You are my son!" It was true that he was Coy's father. Why should he ask his son's permission to get married?

The boy pouted. "You need my permission to let me be your son!"

Patiently, James explained, "I am your biological father. Why do I need your permission?" Besides, Maria had never told him about Coy's existence in the past.

He also bore a lot of resentment, but he couldn't tell anyone about how he felt.

Upon hearing his father's explanation, Coy realized that he was right. "In that case, let's have a duel!"

James nodded. "Okay, let's do it then!" Naturally, a little boy wouldn't scare him.

The boy grabbed James' phone and input the password.

"Wait!" James tried to stop him.

Coy looked up at him in confusion.

"How did you figure out my phone's password?" As far as he could remember, he had never told his son about it.

Coy scoffed and answered confidently, "I saw it several times."

The boy's answer left James speechless.

He had never thought of hiding his password from his toddler son.

Once Coy unlocked the phone, he opened WeChat to look for Maria's account. Afterwards, he clicked on the dialogue box.

James was dumbfounded by his son's flawless use of a smartphone.

A two-year-old unlocking his smart phone was already out of the ordinary, but seeing this toddler open WeChat and Maria's inbox so easily was something that never occurred to him.

The boy invited Maria for a video call, and after a few rings, it finally connected. "What's up?" said Maria, but her face didn't show up on the screen.

"Mommy!" Coy suddenly burst into tears.
