Clingy Love Chapter 167
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

“But why are you our biological father? Does Mommy know you from way back?”“Of course. Where else would you come from?” Thaddeus smiled and brushed his hand against Bobby’s nose. There was no way he was going to let the kids know about the incident at the bar. It was a secret for him to keep. Bobby drew a deep breath. If only Mommy did not lose her memory…“Bobby, Millie.” While the group was talking, Mona got out of the cab and came running into the center. She found the children on Thaddeus’ lap, only for her internal alarm bells to start ringing that somebody was going to fight her over the kids. “Mommy, we finally found our daddy.” Millie hopped off Thaddeus’ lap and pulled Mona’s hand toward Thaddeus. “We found Daddy, Mommy. He’s your husband.” “Millie, stop talking nonsense.” Mona corrected her daughter and glanced at Thaddeus before adding, “Let’s drop the kids back to the school, and we then can have a private talk.” Thaddeus nodded in agreement to the suggestio
