Chapter 236 - Preston’s family problems

last update Last Updated: 2022-12-17 20:13:45

In the Preston household, things were chaotic as always.

Jessi had caught wind that Liam was involved in a love triangle between Mariana Jacobsen and James Miller.

She thought it was great news.

If Liam married Mariana, Prestons would get closely tied with the Smiths. She would have more chances with Jonathan.

Mariana was the heir of Jacobsens, so that would be beneficial to them as well.

Jessi and Julie made plans to force them together.

One night at the dinner table, Jessi brought up the topic when Liam was absent.

Jessi pretended to be conflicted and said, “Grandma, I heard something today. I am not sure if I should say it out loud.”

Old Madam Preston did not like her pretentious gesture and remarked politely, “If you are conflicted, dear, maybe you should not have brought it up.”

Jessi was speechless. Despite the old lady’s polite tone, her rebuttal was unmissable.

Jessi gritted her teeth and said, “Some of my friends saw Liam drinking with a guy. They said the vibe between them w

    At Liliana’s place, the vibe was depressing.Mariana aborted the child as planned. She did not regret it or second-guess her decision even for a moment, but she was inexplicably sad.James had, finally, stayed true to his word. He also stayed at Liliana’s place and took care of Mariana. Though rather subtly to avoid embarrassing her.He had held Mariana’s hand throughout the procedure and all her checkups.But he had kept his distance from her in public. He did not want to ruin her reputation anymore.Jennifer had taken two days off to accompany Mariana through that phase, but Henry was too busy, and she had rushed back.Besides accompanying Mariana without being explicit, James also helped her manage her office work.He had been interfering with her work for a long time. He slipped into that role effortlessly.

    When everyone was seated in the living room, Liliana gathered the kids.She did not want to be the one to explain what ‘gay’ meant, so she called them when Jonathan, James, and Mariana were there.Jonathan was always better at explaining awkward stuff to the kids - like their bedroom activities.The three kids, aware they would be getting a new lesson, gathered around.Liliana went straight to the point, “Have you guys heard the word gay?”Jonathan looked at her quizzically and shook his head. He could vividly see that she was unsure how to explain, so she gathered them around him, Mer and James.Mariana was excited. She always had fun teaching new stuff to the kids. It made her think about things from a new perspective.James did not know why they were explaining such stuff to the kids. It was not his place to meddle, so he kept mum.Nathaniel explained, “One of the meanings is happy. I did not read the other one because Aunty Jen said if I see the word sex, I should stop reading.”J

    Mariana answered, “No, honey. They are just normal people from everywhere like you and me.”James chimed in, “For example - if Mariana and I get married - we would be a straight couple - husband and wife. If Liam and I get married - we will be a gay couple - husband and husband. If Mariana and Jennifer marry - they would be a lesbian couple - wife and wife.”Kyle nodded, “Okay, so gay, lesbian, or straight depends on whether you want to marry a boy or girl.”Mariana nodded, “Yeah, more or less.”Nathaniel asked, “Does that mean you can change whether you are straight or gay or lesbian anytime?”Liliana answered, “No. People are generally attracted to boys or girls. Very rarely, they are attracted to both. So, it’s not interchangeable.”Joyanna asked, “What does attracted mean, Mommy?”Liliana answered, “Do you know what I told you about kissing?”Joyanna nodded, “We can not kiss anyone on the lips because we are six years old, not babies. If we want to kiss our family members, we can

He realized why in a few seconds.He patted Li and Kyle on their shoulders when he realized he had been too obvious.As if he had done a great job, he looked at his wife expectantly. Mariana burst out laughing at their antics.James looked at Mariana with an imperceptible smile, but the sadness in the depths of his eyes was unmistakable.But Mariana missed it.They had a strange fate. They kept missing things about each other.She teased Jonathan, "It's good to see President Smith begging for his wife's attention."Jonathan smirked and was about to say something when Li stopped him."Daddy, don't say weird things. Jo is here."Jonathan was embarrassed. Liliana punched him lightly. Mariana almost fell off laughing.Kyle shook his head.

    The depressed Aprice family sprang back to life once again.The arrival of their son made both Lester and Rose very happy. Even before Leonardo was born, Lester and Rose used him as a chess piece and placed him to take over the queen.They named him Leonardo Petrova instead of Leonardo Aprice and announced that he was Anne’s kid born posthumously.Leon had left some of his properties to Liliana and Anne directly, and Anne had passed her inheritance to Liliana. To get these assets, Lester and Rose wanted to pass Leonardo off as Anne’s child and stake his claim.They had never let Liliana know that she had something on her name. At Lester’s birthday party, she had rattled them by saying, ‘My grandfather left me some things.’Now that Leonardo was finally back, they meant to take back everything.Lester and Rose were also in a secret competition as each wanted to one-up the other and take away everything.Lester was recovering well. He had stayed at the hospital and asked the doctor to

    Lester froze at Leonardo’s question. He had not expected him to ask about her.But then again, he thought of Liliana as his biological sister. He could not forget her that easily. Lester could not help but get angry at Liliana.Rose could not think of a way to explain everything to Leonardo.But she knew she had to nip his feelings in the bud.“Alas, I was hoping you would not notice. Liliana, god bless her - she got married. She did not tell us anything and gave us some money to sever the relationship. We did not know what she was trying to do, but she threw a tantrum. We had to listen to her.”Rose faked a sniffle and added.“Later, we found that she had painted herself as a victim and married into the Smiths. She simply did not want to associate herself with us. She even used the Smith family’s power to humiliate us at numerous events. We have tried to mend things with her and give in at each turn, but she despises us.”Rose started to weep sorrowfully at this point.Lester finally

    As planned, Leonardo showed up at the Aprice Group on Monday.But to Lester’s annoyance, he arrived at noon - close to the lunch break. Yet he was yawning.Even so, Lester smiled genially at Leonardo and introduced him to everyone important.Lester arranged things quickly and helped Leonardo settle into the company as planned.One day, they were out having a lunch meeting with one of their prospective partners when Mariana showed up in the same restaurant with her assistant, Jonathan, Vincent, and the person in charge of the collaboration between Smiths and Jacobsens.Jonathan scowled on seeing Lester but did not show any reaction.But Mariana froze on seeing the person sitting beside Lester.Leonardo saw Mariana and exclaimed, “Mariana Jacobsen!”He could not hide the smile on his face or the twinkle in his eyes.He walked up to her and pushed away the assistant who tried to stop him.Jonathan wanted to stop this stranger.

    Jonathan did not ask anything further to either Mariana or Liliana about the identity of that person with Lester.That is until a few later when he accidentally saw a text from an unsaved number on Liliana's phone."It's done. Planning something - Can't wait! Love you!"Intuitively he thought the message was from the same person.Maybe he was a spy planted by Liliana on Lester's end. But he could tell she would not do that. Besides, why would her spy say ‘Love you!’.Jonathan asked her if she was planning something.Liliana laughed at his words. She closed her laptop and stood close to him.Standing on tiptoes, she looped her arms around his neck."Do you think I am too scheming, Mr. Husband?"Jonathan pinched her cheeks and pulled her closer by holding her waist."I think that you are a very good person, Mrs. Smith. As long as no one rubs you the wrong way."Jonathan pecked her nose dotingly.She could not help but laugh."How long has it been since we reconciled?" She asked, raising

    Liam finished his narrative and went close to Kyle.He knelt beside his half-brother and said, “Kyle, you are my brother by blood. But in my heart, you have always been my son.”“I will do anything and everything for you. Not because I feel obligated or you were a responsibility thrust onto me, or because my mother ruined your mother’s life. But because I love you from the bottom of my heart. If anything happens to you, I will lose my mind.”“What happened to previous generations is their karma and their lives. What we do defines our life and our karma.”“You are my son and will remain so until you return to P City Military as the Colonel. Until then, you mustn’t tell anyone about it.”“I never told you about your mother because I have immense respect and compassion for her. I did not want to lie to you or gloss over her story. I wanted to tell you when you are older, so you can appreciate her sacrifices.”“Nevertheless, you will always be my son and my highest priority. I love you so

    Liam took a while before he braced himself for the next part.“My mother thought my father was cheating on her with Aunty Keira.”“My father kept everything about Aunty Keira a secret because he hadn’t identified all the people on the inside who worked for him. So for her safety, he dealt with everything directly. He had created a fake ID and passport for her for an emergency. If she ran into any trouble, or if he died, then she could flee and settle down abroad.”“My mother thought he was planning to elope with her. She went after him when he had sneaked out, and she took photos. The next day, she posted all those photos in the newspaper calling Aunty Keira a bad person for flirting with a married army man and ruining a military marriage.”“Naturally, everyone found out, and the bad people captured and bullied Aunt Keira.”“The plan was almost complete. As per military protocols, my father had to prioritize the mission. My father had the last bits of information in place. So he hasti

    Liliana began when Liam stalled for time.“Kyle, your mother comes from a long line of military spies. You know what a spy is, right?”Kyle nodded.“Traditionally, only men are sent as spies because women are physically more vulnerable and comparatively more emotional. However, during your mother’s time, there was a very powerful mafia in Z city. He was extending his terror in P city. He had bribed and coerced many people at higher positions - so he would not get caught. Someone inside the Military betrayed us, and he found our spies.”Liam added, “He killed 25 of our most trained and skilled spies within a week. It left the P City Military in a very vulnerable position. My father was the Army Commander at that time. My Grandfather was in a higher position, and the mafia approached my grandfather for something. When he refused, he killed him.”“Among the 25 spies, three were from your mother’s family. Apart from them, almost 100 people from the force - Police and Military - lost their

    Liliana walked up to them and hugged them.She checked them from head to toe, much to the boy’s embarrassment. When she was satisfied that they were unharmed, she spanked them.Li looked at his mother incredulously, but she glared back at him.“How dare you run away? Didn’t you know the address of your home? If you encounter something you can’t handle, you come to me. Is that such a difficult concept to grasp?”“Look at how filthy you have become! Is this how you plan to set an example for your siblings?”Kyle hugged her and sobbed, “I am sorry, Mommy.”Li did the same, and Liliana hugged the two children close.Liliana exclaimed, “Ah! It reminds me of when we had just returned to P city. Jo - that traitor, left me for her father. I had the two of you to hug.”She led them to the ensuite bathroom and asked them to clean up. She sat them down and asked them to drink water and eat the pies she had made that afternoon.After the kids were well-fed and hydrated, she sat on the couch with

    James remained unperturbed and laughed.He added when he had calmed down.“Jacob said he kissed Mariana and realized that he was gay.”Jonathan was speechless. He hadn’t expected that twist.James ignored his friend’s expressions and slurred, “He said they were best friends and sort of dating. But the vibe between them was closer to cousins than lovers. When they kissed, he realized how much he never wanted to kiss any girl in his life ever again.”Jonathan had to stifle his laugh.‘Good for Jacob!’‘Poor Mariana lost her first kiss like that. Tch! Tch!’James continued his ramble.“Then they became even closer. Which may have been why Mariana never dated anyone.”Jonathan thought about it and added, “Makes sense! She wouldn’t have needed to look for a relationship, and others would have assumed she wasn’t available.”James continued, “Jacob once took her horse riding. She fell and had a fracture. Her hymen tore when she fell. Then I slept with her and shouted at her for making a fuss

    Jonathan and Liliana stopped talking and embraced each other while lying quietly on the bed.Jonathan was about to drift asleep when Liliana spoke.“Do you still want to have another child?”He was stunned and sat up immediately.“What do you mean?”She turned around and asked, “Well, you never brought it up since we talked about it half a year ago.”He couldn’t understand what she was getting at. He asked, “So?”She mumbled, “I just think it is the right time, and maybe we should try. I will turn thirty soon, and it might cause complications.”He asked, “I still don’t know what you are trying to say.”She rolled her eyes and asked, “I want to know if you still want another child. It’s been half a year since we started living together. What do you think? Are you ready? Do you think having Li and Jo is enough?”He lay down and turned her towards him.“This half a year is the best half year of my life.
