My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Lydia was stunned.

She stood there – horrified. Noone had slapped her that hard ever.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Lydia felt her head ringing as stars blurred her vision.

A few moments later, someone opened the door, breaking their silent stalemate.

Lydia recognized the man right away. He was one of the drivers who had resigned en masse.

Her sense of ire flared up on seeing him.

“You! How dare you bring me here?”

She walked up to him and tried to slap him, but the woman stopped her.

The man ignored her and talked to the woman.

“It’s alright, Leena. I will talk to her.”

The woman, Leena, curled her lips in displeasure, “If I knew she was this bad, I would have let her be. We saved her, and they even kicked you so much.”

The man, Lydia recalled his name was Jonas – something, went up to Leena and hugged her.

“Miss Lydia, I am not sure if you know my name. My name is Jonas Kent.” He pointed at the woman in his arms and introduced, “This is my wife – Leena Kent.”

Lydia only snorted at him.

The man remained unaffected even as Leena bristled.

He calmly said, “I am not sure how much you remember what happened last night. Let me explain what I know or saw.”

He gestured towards a chair on the table, and Lydia took a seat.

Leena and Jonas brought the food to the table and plated three plates.

Lydia was too hungry to complain about them sitting at the same table.

Jonas explained after they all began their meal.

“Last night, Leena and I went to the Aprice servant quarters because I couldn’t find my driving license. I figured I had dropped it in my dormitory in the Aprice quarters, so I went there with Leena. She drove as I did not have my license with me.”

Lydia huffed, “Aren’t you a driver? How can you not have a license?”

Jonas put some food on Leena’s plate and ignored Lydia’s jab.

“I was indeed a driver for many years. But Miss Liliana gave us a very generous severance pay. I bought a second-hand cab as I plan to drive my private vehicle moving forward. I only know how to drive. I am not educated and don’t have any other qualifications.”

Lydia was offended at hearing Liliana’s name. She snapped, “You can only buy a second-hand car from your generous pay. How un-generous!”

Leena seethed, “We also paid off all our debts, and now, we own the house where you are sitting.”

Lydia wanted to retort, but Jonas cut her off.

“Anyway, as I was saying, Leena and I went there to see if I had left my driving license there. But we found that some of them were trying to take advantage of you. You were unconscious.”

Lydia’s hand trembled. They did not comment on it and pretended not to notice.

Jonas continued, “There were too many of them. Leena said she would start the car, and I should grab ‘the victim’ – well, you – and run out. We would not be able to take them all on our own. I pretended to call the police and brought you out. But they had figured out my ruse and ran after me. Thankfully, Leena had driven very close to the gate, and they only caught up with us after I had stuffed you in the backseat.”

Leena added, “Those beasts tried to beat you and even damaged the car.”

Jonas soothed his wife and continued, “Since they were drunk, I was able to throw them off long enough to get inside the car and lock the doors. Then Leena whisked us away. We did not know where to go, so we brought you here.”

He looked at Leena and said adoringly, “You were drugged and started to get bothered, so my wife spent the entire night taking care of you. She wiped you with iced water and helped you shower and change all night.”

Lydia was stunned.

She did not know what to say. She, of course, knew that she, thankfully, wasn’t raped. And she was thankful to them.

But she could not bring herself to lower her pride and bow to them.

She accusingly asked, “Weren’t they all your friends? You all worked together for many years.”

Jonas let out an exasperated sigh.
