My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Chapter 194 Misunderstanding



One weekend, Mariana called James and asked him to meet in a tea house.

She was finally free and she had mustered the courage to clear the air with him.

However, half an hour later, James did not arrive, but she received a photo of Alice and James kissing.

Mariana laughed at her own stupidity and decided to leave.

But as luck would have it, she ran into Jacob, her college friend, and bestie after Liliana.

“Mer bear!” Jacob shouted.

“You finally could not stay away from me, huh?” Mariana teased as they hugged each other tightly.

They talked about old times, and Jacob showed her the plans for his new house that he was building in the suburbs of P city.

That turned into banter and they kept throwing punches at each other.

Unable to take her jab anymore, Jacob pinned her to the wall and said, “Lady, don’t make dirty jokes as if you know what it means.”

Mariana only laughed before pushing him away.

This was what James saw when he showed up late.

James was on his way to Mariana when he ran to Alice. He had tried to leave early to ensure he arrived before time. He did not want to give any reasons to Mariana to find fault and ignore him.

He had not seen Alice after that night in Pits. So, he asked her why she had lied about Mer leaving when it was clearly not the case.

Alice only shrugged and said, “Maybe I mistook someone else for her.”

James did not know what to believe. He could not bring himself to think that his first love could be that ruthless, but seeing her indifference he was unsure.

He told her to stay away from him and Mer and started to leave.

But Alice held him back and pestered him.

Someone, they ended up in an argument, and Alice kissed him out of nowhere again.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

This time, however, he did not hesitate. He pushed her away, rinsed his mouth, and scolded her before walking away.

The entire time, James had been worried that Mariana was waiting for him.

Never in his wildest dream had he expected to see her laughing in another man’s arm.

James, in his jealousy, forgot all the reasons and acted impulsively.

He walked briskly to Mariana and tugged her in his arms.

She lost her balance but he held her by the waist.

“I am sorry I am late babe,” James said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, “have you been waiting for long?”

Mariana was dumbfounded. He was wearing the same clothes that he was wearing in the photo that she had anonymously.

She frowned in disgust but James took the wrong way.

“Is he your boyfriend, Mer bear? Why is he so rude?” Jacob teased.

“Let go, James,” Mariana snapped, “For the love of God, stop playing games with me already.”

James tightened his arms around her waist while Jacob made a weird noise.

“Jacob, shut up!” Mariana snapped at him as well.

Jacob muttered, “Grumpy bear” and shut up, enjoying the drama.

James wondered if he had misunderstood the relationship between them, and loosened his grip, but still held her in his arms.

“Who is he, darling? Won’t you introduce me?” James asked smilingly and this time amusement was evident in his eyes.

Mariana continued to struggle in his hold and frowned.

“James, who are you to me? Why should I introduce anyone to you? Just get as far away from me as possible and suck your ex’s face. Stop pestering me.”

Mariana said frustratingly and James frowned at her choice of words.

They stared at each other. Frustration and indignation were clear in Mariana’s eyes which made James feel guilty.

On the other hand, Mariana could not read him at all and wondered how he could be so casually shameless. How little must she mean to him to play her like that?

Jacob was the one who broke the silence as he mumbled, “Lover’s spat!”

Mariana glared daggers at him while James took that chance to kiss her gently pouring out all his apologies and feelings in that kiss.

Mariana continued to struggle and pushed him away.

She ran away from him with tears in her eyes.

James felt his heart hurt because of that, but he could not figure out what was wrong with her.
