Clingy Love Chapter 166
With downcast eyes, Thaddeus indifferently took a fleeting glance at Mona’s emotionless face and said, “Come with me.” Mona took a look at the time. “You have ten minutes. I need to pick the kids up.” “Okay.” The pair took the lift and proceeded to a quiet spot in the hospital’s botanical field. Following the face-to-face opportunity, Thaddeus lowered his gaze to study Mona’s face.There was something familiar about her, and the feeling in his gut was only growing stronger. With his mind harking back to the intimacy they shared, it was not just her body Thaddeus was into, but the feeling he got as well. The proof was in the pudding. Thaddeus could be certain of his instinct that Mona was the girl of that fateful night without digging into it. The man’s eye contact made Mona uncomfortable. “You have eight more minutes, Mr. Fontaine.”“Mona, do you want to get married to Victor?” Mona drew a deep breath as the question threw her a curveball. “I didn’t really want to.” “

Thaddeus was surprised as Mona had never once caved in to him since the divorce. There was no way he would refuse her sudden request. “Okay. What do you want me to do?” “I don’t know, but something just doesn’t sit right with me. I’m getting a lot of precarious people and information around me, and after that stunt Victor pulled today, my concern is that it will affect the kids.” “Move to my place. You live in an area without property management or neighborhood watch. You don’t know your neighbors, and most of the tenants are not locals. It’s better for you to move to a place with the guarantee of safety and privacy.” Mona raised her brow. It was strange that the man appeared to be well-versed in her neighborhood. Nevertheless, she did not read too much into it as Thaddeus’ suggestion got her thinking. Moving to his place was out of the question. Since they were divorced, they were separate entities without any relation. She could ask him for help, but that did not mean sh

Mona walked around Thaddeus and headed for the entrance of the hospital. There was nothing more the man could do other than watch her leave. …After picking the kids up from the Cornwells’ residence and taking them home, Mona told the whole story to Linda. She told only Linda about her plans to move. Linda could not quite get where Mona was coming from. “Why must you ask help from Thaddeus? You guys are separated. Why did you get him involved? Samantha will come looking for you when she finds out. You’re just asking for trouble.” Mona opened the closet to sort out her stuff and explained, “It’s a quick fix since I can’t handle the situation on my own. Victor is out of the ICU now, but that doesn’t mean we’re out of the woods. He might go to extremes again if things don’t go his way. I won’t marry him for sure, so my only choice is to evade him.” “Out of all the people, why did you have to go to Thaddeus? What difference does it make from the time you used to rely on him fo

Bobby sat upright with his back facing Mona but leaned his ear toward his mother. He was all ears. He was a sensitive boy, so he knew that Mommy was about to say the opposite of what he had hoped. “Bobby, we’re moving to the city, somewhere with good schools. At least, we won’t have to worry about Millie’s schooling and yours. As for me and Victor, it’s not working out. I went and did a DNA test on you guys, and he’s not your father…” “So, Uncle Victor has been lying. He’s a liar.” Bobby handled the truth with serenity. He turned around to face Mona and patted her head in a bid to offer comfort. He sighed and said, “Silly girl, you have been cheated on again.” Scrunching her nose, Mona refuted, “I wasn’t cheated. I never accepted him as your father in the first place. My conscience has always been clear.” Bobby shook his head. “Mommy, I can’t take my eyes off you for one second. Be honest with me. Are we moving because of Uncle Victor? He won’t leave you alone, so we’re going s

Mona entered the neighborhood, went upstairs to her apartment, and put down the suitcases when her phone rang. The call was from a local number. With Mona taking the call, Eleanor’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Where are you now? Victor is awake. Why aren’t you visiting him in the hospital?” “I’m working. I’ll drop by once I’m done here.” “How can you even bother with work when Victor is lying in the hospital? Come right now. He won’t eat anything and just stares at the door. It’s obvious that he’s waiting for you. Just take time off work.” “Mrs. Cornwell, you are aware of the circumstances I am in. I’m the breadwinner of my family, and I’ve worked hard to get the job. I can’t just take off right away. What if my boss finds out?” Mona made it seem like she was caught between a rock and a hard place. Although Eleanor’s comment rubbed her the wrong way, she kept her cool. “You can just say that someone is sick and that you need to look after him in the hospi

“Mr. Fontaine? Why are you acting like a stranger, little guy? That’s Uncle Thaddeus to you.” Thaddeus bent over to shuffle Bobby’s hair. His eyes reflected tenderness and adoration. For some reason, Thaddeus took a growing shine to the little guy. Perhaps it was because the child resembled the younger Thaddeus in terms of looks, or maybe the boy shared his mother’s determination and wits. “Uncle Thaddeus, who are you to Mommy?” Bobby stared straight into Thaddeus’ eyes, blinking his wide and bright eyes in between while asking the question.Favoring Thaddeus a lot more than Victor, Millie was keen for Thaddeus to play the father role. Nevertheless, she kept the thought to herself as Bobby was not fond of him. “What do you think is the relationship between your mommy and me?” Thaddeus got on one knee to be at Bobby’s eye level, earnest to hear what Bobby had to say. The gesture earned Thaddeus some Brownie points as Bobby felt respected and valued. “I think you’re not just

Thaddeus got right down to his reason for being here. Millie and Bobby exchanged glances in shock.Bobby turned his attention back to Thaddeus and uttered in earnest, “Uncle Thaddeus, the last person who said that was Uncle Victor, but Mommy has left him out in the cold because she absolutely hates liars. The joke isn’t funny.” “Well, a test will show whether this is a joke or not.” “How do we go about this?” “If I can have a sample of your hair or fingernails, I can proceed with the DNA test.” Thaddeus persuaded the kids, slowly encouraging Bobby to accept his suggestion. “That’s a good idea. A DNA test should show whether you’re lying.” Bobby approved of Thaddeus’ proposal since it was implausible that he was their real father. Thaddeus was simply trying to be all friendly like Mommy’s other suitors. Well, Bobby was not falling for it. Bobby meant to pull a strand of hair for Thaddeus, but on second thought, he insisted on going to the testing center with Millie and

Mona was in the dark about Thaddeus taking the kids out of school. Nevertheless, Mona had the phone number down pat when the teacher read it out to her. Why did Thaddeus pick the kids up? What was he trying to do? “Ms. Chaplin, I’ll get in touch with him now. Let me know when the children get back to school,” Mona said as she took strides out of the ward. Seeing that she was about to leave after a brief stay, Victor called out to her, “What happened?” “Victor, this will be the last time I see you. Stop forcing your way into my life again.” Mona turned back and glanced at the man before uttering, “Take care. Don’t pull something silly like that again.” Mona then left in a hurry without looking back. After walking out of the hospital building, she pulled out her phone to give Thaddeus a call. The call was soon connected, and Thaddeus’ voice came on the other side. “Bobby and Millie are with me.” “Why did you take the kids away without letting me know beforehand? That’s un

Clingy Love Chapter 999
The couple was tired after a time of bonding, and they lay on the wicker chair, closing their eyes before slipping into dreamland. Sometime later, Thaddeus felt a chill and opened his eyes. His T-shirt was wet, and Bobby and Millie were spraying water at him with water guns. The youngest child was nearby too in her stroller. She suckled on a pacifier and watched the bustle. “Where’s your mommy?” Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. “Freeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.” Acting like the boss, Millie pointed her massive water gun at her daddy. Thaddeus had indulged his eldest daughter so much that the girl would only have things her way. Nevertheless, Thaddeus played along since it was only a game. He knew his children well. Millie took after Mona and was shrewd. Still, Millie would be on her best behavior when in public. “Hurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.” Millie poked
Clingy Love Chapter 998
It was a cooling breeze for the Summer as flowers bloomed in the garden of Fontaine Residence. Mona rested on a wicker chair under the wine arbor, holding in hand the latest issue of the weekly design magazine, with her face on the cover. In the photo, she held a trophy up on the stage of a design competition, standing out amidst the radiant background. Since the birth of her youngest, Mona took a month off for rest before picking up her passion again and returning to the world of design. Recently, she won first place in an international design competition and found fame. Mona was happy with her life and enjoyed the rich and peaceful state of things. She had time to herself for once during the weekend, so she found a quiet spot to enjoy time alone while the kids had a nap. The sunlight shone over Mona through the leaves, basking her in warmth. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes for a nap. Thaddeus walked out of the house and saw the woman enjoying the moment of bliss. The t

“Mommy, did the baby kick you today?” Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Mona’s belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommy’s stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. “The baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?” “Yeah. The baby is kicking.” Mona affectionately caressed her belly. The fetus had been kicking and rolling a lot more lately, so she could not get much sleep. The tall and strong man drew near and looked tenderly at Mona. His husky voice lingered in Mona’s ear. “Weren’t you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. It’ll arrive tonight.” “Yay.” Mona was gleeful. Since the beginning of her pregnancy, she had become quite fussy and craved the strangest food. She wanted caviar from Japan, cookies from France, and strawberries from the highlands. Anything she asked for would be transported fresh to the house the next day.The man had taken good care of her during her en

“No. I won’t let myself go.” The man huffed heavily after finishing his sit-ups. Then, he rolled out of bed and got changed in the walk-in closet. Mona stared at the man’s well-toned back, gasping at his body upkeep. People would probably have a hard time believing he was a father of three. With that in mind, Mona became aware of a potential threat. She got up and drew close to the man. “You’re responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.” Thaddeus straightened his tie. “Alright. I can do that. I want to be present in the baby’s life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. I’ll handle Bobby and Millie’s school run, okay?” The man pinched Mona’s face dotingly. “Now you’re talking. Are you heading out?” Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. “Yeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.” “I wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.” Mona walked out to retrieve a

Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeus’ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri

The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. “So you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?” It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. “Hand over the camera!” “There’s nothing in the camera. Besides, it’s my personal property. Why should I give it to you?” “You clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say there’s nothing.” Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. “You’re pregnant. Think about the child.” Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. “Why do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.” Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeus’ legs and smiled dryly. “What happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?” Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi
Clingy Love Chapter 992
With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. “I won’t attend any media interviews before the election, but I won’t disappear from the public eye either. I don’t want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.” Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

“It’s okay. That’s normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since it’s a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, you’ll be back to running in no time.” Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. “Leave.” Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. “Can you leave? I need some time alone,” Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. “Okay. I’ll be right outside if you need me.” It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the man’s vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions. Instead of doing n
