A Vengeful Ex-Wife
Chapter 199 Infinite Warmth

Maria decided to look for a house for herself. She was planning to buy a big villa, in which she would allot a big room for her dolls.

It had been almost ten days since she went to the hospital. Since then, James had not had sex with her.

In the bathroom, he kissed her earlobe.

Maria shivered and wanted to refuse. "I'm not completely recovered yet."

Upon hearing this, James snorted. "I have the results of the reexamination from the hospital you went to yesterday. Do you want to check them again?" He was actually afraid that she would lie to him, so he called the hospital and asked for her results.

Usually, men were supposed to be the ones who were good liars.

However, in James' mind, Maria was a bigger liar.

"Did you send someone to follow me?" Maria asked while glaring at him.

"No. I just asked the hospital for the results." The last time James read her results, he found out that she went to the hospital ran by the HL Group. Seeing this, he ordered Summer to contact the director of the gynecology department.

'You son of a bitch!' she swore inwardly.

As revenge, she bit him in his chest, leaving a shallow bite mark. James looked down at the mark, and his eyes darkened with desire.

Almost instantly, he sealed her red lips with his. He pressed her against the wall of the bathroom and began to have sex with her.

As usual, James left at midnight. Maria was now used to it that she did not say anything. As if nothing had happened, she just turned over and fell asleep again.

Maria was so busy these past two days that she forgot what she had asked James to do. One day, while she was at a voice conference, James called her, asking her to go to his manor.

"I can't go there right now. I'm busy."

James was well aware of what Maria was busy with. She was in charge of her start-up company. Even so, she did not have to go to the company in person because all her work was on her laptop. "Bring your laptop with you then," he said indifferently.

"Can I just not go?" she replied helplessly.

"No! I'm out of town on a business trip at the moment. I'm not going to sleep with you. Just go there and stop talking nonsense!"

What choice did she have? He was the boss after all.

With that, Maria closed her laptop and drove to his manor as ordered.

When she arrived, she entered the passcode. Once done, she was finally able to enter his territory smoothly.

While she was changing into slippers, her phone rang again. She looked at it to see who it was. It was James.

"Go to the second floor."

"All right!"

While she went upstairs to the second floor, she listened to his instructions on the phone carefully. Not long after, she found a room and pushed the door open.

As she did so, she was stunned.

"Do you see them?"

Maria nodded. It took her a second before she realized that he could not see her. "Yes, I did," she quickly answered.

"Okay." With that, he hung up the phone.

The bedroom was huge that it nearly covered a hundred square meters. The entire wall was covered with white wallpaper, and about ten glass showcases were next to it.

The dolls and blind boxes in the Fairview Villa had been moved into the manor. All of them were neatly arranged inside the showcases.

The lights in the room were so bright that they reflected on the crystals which were embedded on the dolls. It looked dazzling from afar. It was undeniably beautiful and breathtaking.

The unopened blind boxes were also there. They were neatly placed in a big box next to the showcases as though they were waiting for her to open them.

Meanwhile, the larger dolls were atop the huge lightyellow bed in the center of the room.

Maria's girlish personality that was hidden deep beneath her resurfaced because of what she was seeing.

Upon realizing that James did all of this for her, she felt an infinite warmth in her heart.

She was so happy at that moment that she forgot all the bitterness in life.

She could not wait to call him back and express her gratitude. "James, you brought all of them here! What should I do if I want to see them in the future?"

"The password changes every now and then, and only my phone has it. Wait for me. Once I get back, I'll record your face into the security system, so you'll be able to access it yourself through the face recognition."

Maria's eyes turned red upon hearing his response, but her voice remained the same. "What if I suddenly come over and see you and Alina in bed?"

James' smile faltered, and he suddenly felt an urge to tape her mouth. "Join us then."

Join them? Maria gaped at her phone, flabbergasted at his words. The warmth in her chest dissipated all at once. "Fuck off! You're so disgusting!"

What a coincidence! James was also disgusted.

"Anyway, you can use that bedroom temporarily." His master bedroom was right next to this one.

"But I met your fiancee and Ms. Lan the other day. They told me that they would go to the wedding company to prepare for your wedding. If you got married, what would happen to my dolls?" She was about to ask what she should do, but decided to change her words halfway.

"Who told you that?" James wondered why he had no idea that about the preparation of the wedding.

"Ms. Lan, of course. If you don't want to believe me, you can ask Ethan. He can vouch for me that I didn't make this up."

James was silent for a moment. When he finally spoke, he did not reassure her anything. "Let's talk about it next time."

Maria pursed her lips. What a shrewd capitalist! He did not even reassure her. Was he afraid that she would pester him if he did?

If so, James could rest assured.

Once she was through with her grudges, she would kill herself so that she could keep Arthur company. She would no longer pester James, who turned out to be a scumbag.

Not wanting to dwell on the topic anymore, she casually asked, "When will you come back from the business trip?"

"Why? You want to come to me?" She had done that before anyway.

Maria rolled her eyes and fired back, "I just asked. It would actually be better if you don't come back for a year or two."

If that happened, she would not be tortured by him every night.

"Sadly, if I don't come back, how can your plans work?" His question hit the nail on her head.

Taken aback, Maria cleared her throat and answered in the softest tone possible, "James, although it's only been two days since we last saw each other, I miss you so much. Please come back soon. Allow me your loyal maid, to pick you up at the airport and help you relax."

'My loyal maid?' James began to imagine what she would look in a red ancient costume. "I'm not sure yet. I'll let you know when the time comes."

Maria glared at the phone again. She just said it out of politeness. However, he took it seriously.

But for the sake of the beautifully decorated room before her, she decided not to argue with him. "Okay then."

Once the call ended, Maria threw herself on the large bed and fantasized while holding her two big dolls. If she and James had a lovely daughter, she would definitely buy her the most beautiful dolls in the world.

Unfortunately, that was impossible to happen.

Whenever they had sex, James always wore a condom. If he did not, she would take contraceptive pills afterwards, so there was no way she would get pregnant with his baby.

When Judy bumped into Maria the other day, she felt quite uneasy. For some reason, she always felt that Maria was not as weak as she seemed. To make things worse, Alina kept telling her all sorts of bad things about Maria. This made her even uncertain who the latter really was.

Judy pondered for a long time. It took her two days before she decided to deal with Maria. However, she did not want to do it on her own.

She had several people at her disposal, and she had to think carefully about who the best person for the job was.

On the day James returned from the business trip, Summer went to the coffee shop and brought Maria a set of clothes. "James asked you to wear this tonight. You can choose between Fairview Villa and his manor," she whispered in Maria's ear.

Summer's words were suggestive. Maria looked through the paper bag and saw a burgundy-red ancient costume. She was a little confused. She never thought that James would have such a fetish. Maria tossed the paper bag aside and said straightforwardly, "Tell him I won't wear it. He can ask anyone else to wear that, but not me." She was not into ancient costumes after all.
