My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Chapter 283 The banquet 1



Liam and Mariana stayed quiet and absent-minded throughout their way back.

They returned to Liliana’s place as Liam had moved out from Preston Mansion and was staying at Liliana’s house temporarily.

As soon as they entered the living room, Jonathan came down the stairs, and Mariana ran up to him.

She hugged him tightly and laughed.

She exclaimed, “I did it!” and did a happy dance.

Their issues had caused such a commotion that Liliana and Jonathan had been working from home most days.

Liliana looked at her and shook her head. She sat on the couch as Mariana kept hugging Jonathan.

James was still in Jacobsen Textiles. Being Mariana’s assistant, he needed to be at work even when she was absent.

Jonathan left Mariana and sat by his wife’s side.

Liliana murmured, “I love how quickly you two are becoming friends.”

Mariana’s movements paused. She had forgotten that she had hated Jonathan for close to eight years.

She made a face and slumped on the couch opposite them.

Liam sat beside her and commented, “So it was Jonathan who taught you that. I thought it was Lil.”

Mariana shrugged.

Liam hugged her shoulders and said, “I will do my best to try for a divorce quickly.”

Jonathan interjected, “You should try for a year and a half – two years at least. Otherwise, it would be suspicious.”

Liliana added, “Why don’t you have your child via a surrogate during that time?”

Mariana looked at her agape. “What do you mean?”

Jonathan shrugged, “Lil and I were just talking about it. We supposed you can never tell anyone that you are gay, at least until Kyle’s parentage issue settles.”

“While you are married, you might as well take help from a surrogate and have your child. You and Jacob can both try that and see what sticks.”

Liliana nodded, “Yeah! You can take advantage of your predicament to settle your other problems. I know you love Kyle, but that’s no reason to sacrifice your own life. You can fulfill your dreams and still love Kyle like your own.”

Jonathan urged further, “The Villa has a security check on the second floor and up. It’s extremely private. Besides, you can always say Mariana, and you have some issues. It makes a viable pregnancy very risky.”

Liam and Mariana exchanged glances.

Liam spoke, “Thank you! That had never crossed my mind. We will discuss this and take it from there.”

They stopped talking about it any further and started discussing the banquet.

The banquet would be in five days, and they had many things to prepare.

Liliana had designed a couple’s outfit for Mariana and Liam. Initially, she had prepared it for Mariana and James, but things had taken an unexpected turn.

Thankfully, she got enough time to adjust it for Liam. As Liam had a different build than James and he was perpetually tanned, she had to redo it entirely.

She also added a matching outfit for Kyle, making them a close-knit family of three.

Mariana went to the office as usual and continued her work. James continued to help her, but the interactions between them changed slightly.

The onlookers could see the lack of romantic flair between them and wondered if they had assumed it in the past.

Finally, the banquet started, and everyone gathered to celebrate their union.

Mariana’s mother was ecstatic. She was happy to see her daughter getting married, even though it was unusual.

She liked Liam and trusted him. Liam’s grandmother had given her several reassurances and was very respectful to them.

It showed how she would care for Mariana.

Moreover, Liam had moved out of the house because his relatives had caused the commotion on the internet. And she was acutely aware that they had wanted to take advantage of the Jacobsen family.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The banquet hall was in the largest 7-star hotel in the P city. Jonathan had wanted to give that as a gift, but Liam’s grandmother had refused.

Liam also wanted to splurge on his wife to let everyone know how much he valued her.

The Prestons had fully booked the banquet hall, rooftop, and one entire floor of the hotel.

The venue was adorned with daffodils, lavender, rose, and jasmine flowers. They were all Mariana’s favorite flowers.

The dimly lit chandeliers created a romantic vibe.

The open bar was overflowing with champagne and cocktails. Madam Preston had personally selected and approved the food menu.

It was an exquisite affair, and the Jacobsens were happy that the Prestons had shown so much importance to their daughter.

Little did they know James had decorated the venue per Mariana’s preferences.
