A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Coy couldn't even beat a little girl. Just the thought of it filled him with humiliation.

Mona, with her hair in a single pigtail, offered him a lion-shaped toy. "Coy, this is my gift for you."

Coy gave the toy one quick glance. Then he crossed his arms over his chest and snorted. "I don't want it. I have a cabinet full of toys at home." His father had bought him every one of them. At the memory of it, he began to miss his father.

Mona, who had been eager to give him this gift, made no effort to hide her disappointment. Her mother had told her that Coy was fond of lions. She had expected him to be delighted. 'Why doesn't he want it now?' she wondered. "You have to accept my gift and thank me for it," she said, her tone a little stern.

"No way!"

After saying that, Coy turned around and left.

Mona trotted after him and shouted, "You have to accept it!"

"I don't want it so I won't accept!" he spat back, annoyed.

"Let's have a duel. If you lose, you have to take it!"

Coy knew that he couldn't beat Mona. "I can't fight with you. My mommy said that I am not supposed to beat a girl."

"Well, I think you are lying because you are afraid you won t win."

Mona's words hit where it hurt the most. Coy blushed crimson with embarrassment.

He took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Fine! If that's what you think, then let's fight. I want to show you I am not afraid of you!"

"Okay!"

As they fought, one of the teachers saw them. She hurried to stop them. Mona had just tripped over Coy. Lying on the ground, he was forced to take over the toy from her.

For the first time in his life, he saw everyone laugh at him. Annoyed, he swore to himself that he would defeat all the children in the kindergarten in a week's time.

On the other hand, Maria and James' relationship began to improve gradually after she had given birth to the baby.

James made it a point to take good care of her, giving her everything she wanted. However, an unfortunate incident happened when Maria was only seven months pregnant.

On her way back from the company, she met with a car accident. The driver of the other car was drunk.

Heavily bleeding, she was taken into the hospital. If she wanted to keep the baby, she had to have a caesarean section prior to the due date. It was the only way for the baby to survive. Soon, the surgery was done and the baby came to the world.

Everyone was under the impression it was a boy.

However, they were stunned to realize this time it was a girl.

Holding his little daughter in his arms, James could not help his tears of gratitude rolling down his face.

As it was a premature birth, the baby was very small, weighing about three pounds. Her cries were weak too, akin to that of a kitten.

Soon, the doctor took the baby away and put her into the incubator.

The day the little girl stepped into the Xi family, she lived on an expensive incubator.

Staying near the incubator, James kept a close watch on his daughter. In fact, he skipped sleep for several days for her sake. The sole duty of his life became caring for his daughter and wife.

He ensured his baby was given the most advanced type of incubator. It cost him more than ten thousand dollars per day. According to the little girl's physical condition, she had to stay in it for several weeks before it was safe. In addition to this, he had pay several other medical fees. Within a few days of her arrival, she had already spent millions of dollars.

She had been fortunate enough to be born in the Xi family. James was the sort of father who wanted nothing but the best for his family. What pained him was to watch her in pain. Everybody felt sorry and their hearts wept for her.

Every time Coy and Bob went to the hospital, they would bend on the windowsill and take a look at the baby in the incubator. They were sad to see that she was always asleep. They wondered if she would ever be awake when they visited.

Maria wasn't a week woman. She rarely shed tears.

However, every time she saw her little girl's body lying in the incubator, she felt devastated. Her heart ached for her child. Her eyes would film over with tears.

She held herself responsible for what happened. If she had chosen to work at home during her pregnancy, none of this would have happened. She felt she was the reason behind her daughter's condition.

As she sat with these thoughts,

heavy footsteps came, bringing her out of her reverie. "Mia, I'm sorry.", James wouldn't stop apologizing in his opinion, it was all his fault. the had taken good care of Maria and the baby in her stomach, this accident could have been avoided.

Maria took a deep breath and shook her head. She couldn't allow him to take the blame for this. "Let's go back!" she said.

They took another look at their little girl. James held Maria's shoulder and went back to the ward.

Sebastian gave her the pet name Princess. After all, she was the little princess of the Xi family.

Her formal name was Priscilla Xi, which was chosen by Maria.

Like her two elder brothers, both her pet name and formal name had the same initials.

For now, name wasn't their priority. It didn't matter much. They were waiting for her speedy recovery.

After staying in the incubator for five weeks, Priscilla was taken out and was allowed to return home with her mother.

Tears of happiness welled up in Maria's eyes as she held the little baby in her arms.

After the family returned to the manor, James hired professional nutritionists, chefs, and nannies to take care of every aspect of his baby girl's life.

All of their prayers were answered. As time went by, her health got better and better.

While James was home, he made it his duty to take care of her. He wouldn't allow anyone else to help. He even went out of his way to wash her clothes and socks. When Priscilla was six months old, James proposed to Maria again.

This time, Maria said yes without any hesitation.

During the past six months, James had proven himself to be the most responsible man. Maria found herself moved by his actions.

He gave up several important

projects just to be with her and

Priscilla. He derived lots of pleasure in being at their beck and call. However, the fact he was busy

е

his family made Norman quite th

happy. By putting in a little bit effort, Shen Group became invincible in the financial circle. They gradually rose to the same level as that of HL Group.

When Maria sat blaming herself for her daughter's premature birth, it was James who patiently sat by her side and gave her consolation. He tried every means to keep her happy. He would bring her the moon if it meant making her smile.

With his actions, he proved he truly loved her. And Maria realized he genuinely wished to spend the rest of his life with her.

As for Maria, she loved James with all her heart. She had never loved another man. The mere thought of being his wife brought contentment to her mind.

When she thought about her children, she was convinced this was the right decision. She had to do this for the sake of her children.

She imagined how life would be without James by her side. It would be a herculean job to take care of all the three of them. Life as a single mother wouldn't be a piece of cake. She would be exhausted.

Bob was not troublesome, so she wouldn't have to worry about him. But Coy was getting naughtier as time went by. And on top of everything, she was in charge of Bosun Entertainment Group and DS Group. She was a strong-willed woman, but at the end of the day, she was a human.

With James' support, burden had been lifted from her shoulders. The Xi family would help her make this journey smooth. She would have time to catch her breath and life wouldn't be daunting.

As expected, the wedding was a

grand occasion. James was still guilty about not picking her up in person on their first wedding. To make up for it, he went to the Song family house early this time. He was followed by dozens of luxury cars that contained generous betrothal presents.

He was dead set on showering Maria with unlimited happiness.

Besides, he bought the top fifty hot searches of all social apps. Their wedding caused a sensation all around the world.

On their wedding day, the official account of HL Group, which had tens of millions of fans, posted their wedding photo, wishing them a happy life ahead.

Not only that, even the official account of Shen Group posted a happy video of the pair, writing below, "The CEO of Shen Group wishes his brother and sister-in-law a happy married life!"
