My Wife is a Sassy Queen

The three kids had received etiquette training ever since they were young.

Unlike normal children, they never ran to the door when someone came. They stayed put doing whatever they were doing until someone called them.

It was the same.

Jake shook his head in sadness.

Heirs never got to be carefree and enjoy their childhood. Beneath all the glamor and nobility lay harsh training and lost youth.

Liliana saw through her granduncle’s mood and hugged him.

“We take them out for fun, and every Saturday is family day where all of us do things together – gardening, painting, cooking. It’s not too bad. We try to make memories with them. Nathan is very creative, planning our Saturdays. You will see.”

Jake patted her head and kissed her forehead.

Liliana might be many things to the people. But to him, she would always be the lively child who lost her innocence and her family. Circumstances forced her to grow up and shoulder responsibilities without any preparations.

Thankfully, Anne, Leon, and Kathy had done a great job grooming her. She was a born leader. She had turned things around and found peace and happiness wherever she was.

But Jake always felt sorry for them.

For both Liliana and Leonardo.

Leonardo looked at them and remained quiet.

His elder sister had sheltered him, sacrificing a few years of her youth.

A nanny brought the three kids to the living room. Joyanna broke free from her grip and ran straight into Jonathan’s arms.

Nathaniel rolled his eyes and let out a sigh in exasperation. Kyle just smiled.

Jo cried, “Daddy!” and kissed her father all over his face.

Leonardo burst out laughing. “Now I understand why you washed your face as soon as you came in.”

He looked at the boys and said, “Come here! Let me see you up close.”

Nathaniel looked at his mother, and when she nodded, he walked up to Leonardo.

Leonardo hugged him and Kyle together.

He looked at both the boys and accessed their faces carefully.

He pointed at Li and said, “He has your smile and nose, sister. But Jonathan’s eyes and jawline. He will be a heartbreaker with my elder sister’s smile.”

He looked at Kyle carefully and said, “I give up! Who does he look like?”

Mariana couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore and laughed out loud.

Leonardo looked at her questioningly.

Mer stifled her laugh and said, “You little brat! Is that how you meet kids for the first time? Aren’t you going to ask their names? Aren’t you going to introduce yourself?”

Leonardo scratched his head.

Li asked him curiously, “Are you our little Uncle?”

Leo nodded and looked at Mer provocatively, “See! He knows me.”

Liliana shook her head, but a smile danced on her lips.

She called the kids to her. “Li, Jo, Kyle! Come here!”

Jo was sitting snugly in her father’s arms, looking at everyone curiously.

She kissed her father once more and went to Liliana.

Liliana brought them in front of Jake and introduced them.

“Uncle, these are my twins. Nathaniel Petrova Smith is older than Joyanna Petrova Smith by fifteen minutes. You can call them Li and Jo.”

She looked at Kyle and introduced him, “This is Kyle Preston. Kyle is three days younger than the twins. He is Liam’s son. His mother was my benefactor.”

“She passed away shortly after Kyle was born. He is my godson. I breastfed him along with the twins.”

Liliana turned to the kids and said, “Kids, he is my granduncle – Jake Green. His twin sister – Katherine Green, was my mother’s mother. When we were in Maple City, we took the family name Green from his name. Twins run in the Green family line.”

“He is my oldest living ancestor and someone I admire very much. Do you know what you should call him?”

“Great-granduncle?” Kyle responded.

Liliana nodded.

Jo did a curtsy bow, “Hello! Uncle! I am Jo – Mummy’s little bundle of joy and Daddy’s heart. I will love you from now on.”

Jake hugged her and kissed her temple, “You are so wonderful, Jo. I have loved you since before you were born. I will always love you.”

Li answered, “Mommy, can we call him great-grandfather?”

Leonardo answered, “Sure, you can call him great-grandfather.”

Li bowed to him and said, “Hello! Great-grandpa, please teach us well.”

Kyle followed him as well, “Hello! Great-grandpa, please teach us well.”

Jake pulled them both into his hug. He kissed them all on their foreheads and gave them the gifts he had prepared.

After that, Liliana introduced Leonardo.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Leo, these are my triplets. Kids, this is my younger brother – Leonardo Petrova. He is nine years younger than me.”

Joyanna was the first to react, “Little Uncle! Why have you not come to see us all these years? Mommy said you were studying. Did you not get breaks?”

Leonardo hugged them three and passed their gifts.

“I was working during my breaks. I am sorry, sweety. I will stay with you and won’t go away.”

After the introductions, the two new people questioned them and played together.
