A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 470 I Will Protect You

"It must be your fault that your mom punishes you," Mona said. Her mother had never punished her, and neither had her father.

Coy made a face at her and said, "Lucille said that I'm cute."

"Well, so am I!" Mona said proudly.

"Everyone is cute," Boston concluded.

After playing for a while, Coy started stirring up mischief. He looked at Mona and snickered out of the blue. "Mona, would you like me to teach you martial arts?"

"Okay!" She agreed to his request, but she already knew some martial arts, too, because her father had taught her.

Coy was great at doing forward and backward somersaults, but his skills in the martial arts left a lot to be desired.

When he performed a few somersaults and some basic moves, Mona knocked him down.

Although he was very young, he was already competitive.

As Coy lay on the ground, glaring at Mona, who was looking down at him, he was unconvinced.

He quickly got up and tried again. This time, he didn't even have the chance to show his moves and Mona had already tripped him.

At this point, Coy wasn't sure how to react.

He must've been studying fake martial arts all this time.

Boston contemplated for a long time, and still couldn't figure out who gave his little brother the courage to provoke this tiny soldier that Lawrence had trained himself.

Mona squatted down and told Coy in a sweet voice, "Coy, from now on, I'll protect you!"

The little boy was at a loss for words.

There was no way his pride would let him accept being protected by a girl.

Meanwhile, James saw Ethan off at the parking lot. Before Ethan could leave, James said to him, "Aren't you going to get married? Remember to send Maria an invitation."

"What? She's been in the nunnery for the past two years, and she hasn't gone anywhere else. What makes you think she'll attend my wedding?" It was indeed a difficult task.

James asked back, "What's the matter? Were you not planning to invite her?"

"You know damn well that's not the case!" After a moment of contemplation, Ethan looked at the man in front of him with doubt. "Why do I feel like you're manipulating me to do your bidding? Or am I just imagining things?"

"I really am using you!" James admitted.

Ethan cursed inwardly. 'Why do I have such a terrible friend?' "Alright, fine! I'll do it for the sake of my two lovely godsons. I'll even go there to invite her myself. Happy?"

"Ecstatic."

After Ethan had left, James went back to the villa.

Ethan had planned to visit the veterinary, but when he arrived downtown, something occurred to him all of a sudden. On the way, he turned the car around and drove to another direction.

He didn't have any difficulties driving to a high-end community. He didn't go in, and instead pulled over.

Afterwards, he lit up a cigarette and finished it before he took out his phone and dialed a number. "Come on out. I'm at the gate of your community."

The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment before replying, "I'm not home."

"You are at home," said Ethan. He was certain that she was home at this hour.

Naturally, the woman he was calling was at a loss for words. "I'm very busy, okay? I'm putting on makeup because I have a party to attend later."

"I don't care. I need to talk to you about something. Just come on out." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Hearing that, she decided not to respond anymore. Never had she met someone as unreasonable as him in her life.

Over ten minutes later, a woman made her way to the gate. She had an aloof air about her, and long, loose hair. She wore a dark green dress and no makeup. A moment later, Ethan caught sight of her.

Finally, she stopped in front of him and made sure to keep a one-meter distance from him.

"Don't schedule anything tomorrow morning," he said.

"I'm flying to Paris tomorrow morning." "Well, postpone it for now."

"No, I can't! I'll be late for the event," said the woman.

"What event?" It seemed that Ethan was determined to know.

The woman combed back her long hair and said, "It's nothing. Is that all you want to say?"

"Yep," he replied flatly.

"In that case, I'm going home."

"Viola, can you hang on for just a moment?" The fact that she was giving him the cold shoulder was starting to get on his nerves.

Viola Ji stopped walking, and turned around to remind him, "Mr. Mu, don't forget that our marriage is just contractual. We'll be married by name, but it's nothing more and nothing less than that."

Their marriage was arranged for business. Both of their parents had their weaknesses in hand, so they didn't have a choice but to agree to this marriage for the time being.

"I haven't forgotten. But don't forget that you have an obligation to play the role of Mrs. Mu well," said Ethan.

"I'll be in H City tomorrow morning," Viola said impatiently.

"Accompany me to JT Nunnery."

Her impatience soon turned into confusion. "What are you going to do there?"

Over the past two years, JT Nunnery gained popularity. She had heard that the nunnery owed its fame to a legendary business woman who had become a nun there.

"To deliver a wedding invitation!"

As soon as he finished talking, Ethan opened the door of his car and got in.

Seconds later, he started the car and drove away.

Viola was left speechless.

Unbeknownst to Ethan, his display just now looked very childish to her.

The following morning, Ethan drove two people to JT Nunnery.

Upon their arrival at the entrance, the car door was opened, and a little boy jumped out of it, rushing into the nunnery.

"Coy, wait!" Ethan stopped him.

Coy turned around.

Leaning against the car, Ethan said, "Why don't you take Viola with you? I need to go to the restroom."

Viola was speechless. How could he go to the bathroom at this time?

Coy ran back and held her hand. "Auntie, I'll take you to my mom," he said with a smile.

"Thank you, Coy."

At this time, Maria was cleaning the yard. When the boy pushed the gate of the yard open, her eyes lit up. "Coy!" "Mom! I'm home!" Coy let go of Viola's hand and rushed to his mother's side.

Maria dropped the broom to hold her child, kissing his cheeks over and over. Afterwards, she glanced at Viola and asked Coy, "Who's that?"

The boy slipped out of her arms and ran to Viola's side, holding her hand once more. "Mom, this is your daughter-in-law."

Maria fell silent. Did the little boy just tell her that she now had a daughter-in-law? What kind of mother would accept that?

Even Viola didn't know what to say.

The women stood face to face. Maria picked up the broom and glared at her son. "Be serious, Coy!"

When Coy saw the broom, he quickly hid behind Viola. Only his bald head and eyes were exposed. "Mom, she's Auntie."

Maria was still clueless of the woman's identity. She then looked at Viola and smiled at her. "Hi! Was it you who brought my son back?" 'Where on earth is James? How dare he leave his son to someone else's care?'

Viola wanted to say something, but someone spoke before she could. "Maria, I'd like you to meet my future wife, Viola Ji."

Upon seeing Ethan, Maria felt relieved. Fortunately, this woman wasn't really her daughter-in-law. She threw away the broom and reached out her hand to Viola. "It's nice to meet you, Viola. I'm Maria Song, Coy's mother."

Viola shook her hand and nodded. "It's nice to meet you, too."

Ethan walked closer and put his arm around her shoulder. "Coy, why are you hiding behind Viola?"

Viola looked at the hand on her shoulder and frowned, but she didn't remove it.

Coy snickered and said, "I told Mom that Aunt Viola is my wife." Although in reality, he didn't even know what the word "wife" meant.

Ethan was speechless. This brat had the guts to take advantage of his wife at such a young age! What more could he do once he grew up? As a godfather, Ethan took it upon himself to teach this boy a valuable lesson.

But as soon as he raised his hand, Coy reacted quickly and ran away like the wind.
