Clingy Love Chapter 171
“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

Thaddeus dropped the kids back to school and stood at the front gate with Mona as the teacher ushered the kids into the classroom for their lesson. The school patrol officer came out of the security booth and stared at the good-looking couple, somehow finding them a match made in heaven. Since he had nothing to do, the patrol officer drew close and struck up a conversation. “You must be Bobby and Millie’s parents.” Mona and Thaddeus exchanged looks. Mona shook her head to deny when the man jumped in. “Yes.” “I hardly see you picking the kids up though. Your wife has been doing the school run while you seem out of the picture. That’s not right. You can’t leave all the errands to the woman.” The school patrol officer was all smiles. Since he had been dealing with school security for many years, the officer had noticed Mona for some time now. He had always thought that she was a single mother and that it was tough to plod through life alone with two kids. Now that Thaddeus was her

“I refuse to believe that I would roll around in bed with a random guy at my age.” Mona bit her lip as rosiness flushed her cheeks. “I was a college student with a boyfriend. How could I possibly have had sex with another guy?” Curling his lips, Thaddeus gave her the bad boy vibes. “You forgot how much of a proactive role you took back then, woman.” “Quit the nonsense.” Feeling the burn in her cheeks, Mona licked her lips and said, “So what happened back then? What’s your plan now?” She was most worried that Thaddeus would take the children from her. “I was drugged, and you were drunk. You came into my room, got into my bed, and climbed over me…” “Alright, stop right there. You don’t have to be specific with the details.” Mona put her hand over her forehead as the man put on a flirtatious smile. She was desperate to wipe off the image in her head. Thaddeus curled his lips. “So, don’t say that I took advantage of you. Now back to the subject at hand – I will shoulder the r

Mona paused for a bit and wiped her tears dry. Lifting her gaze, she kept eye contact with Thaddeus while taking in the meaning behind his words. “What? Did you think I’d fight you for the children’s custody?” Thaddeus reached out and nonchalantly brushed the tears off her lashes. “Am I that cruel to you?” Mona sniffled, and he had a soft spot for her dewy eyes. “What are you trying to do then?” “Come live with me at the Fontaine Residence. I am just trying to bond with the kids, and you can’t leave them. They don’t want to be apart from you either.” Mona scoffed. At the end of the day, Thaddeus only saw her as a tool. He would kick her away as soon as he bonded with the children. Did he take her for a fool? Faced with her silence, he added, “I can go and live with you if you don’t want to stay at the family residence. The new house is big enough for the four of us.” “I don’t think that’s necessary. The kids and I have our own routine, and your presence is a disruption.”

“Mr. Rockwell, I’m sorry for arriving late. There was an issue about the runway that needed immediate attention. I apologize for taking up your valuable time. Do forgive me.” Raymond offhandedly cast the pair a glance, reflecting disdain in his looks. “You’ve kept me waiting a long time. I could have hammered out a deal by now.” Mona peered to the side at Raymond. It was unlike him to speak this way. Her boss usually sat in the office on his mobile game or enjoyed a cup in the restaurant downstairs. He dwelled in the free and easy life. Dedication was hardly put into his career. That could only mean one thing: Raymond deliberately put it out there to give the pair hell. Raymond snuck a glance at Mona. They exchanged looks for a moment. By the sparkle in his eyes, it seemed he had something to say. He turned around and faced the pair. Raymond uttered with a smile, “I find it weird. Aren’t you always punctual, Mrs. Yale? If my memory serves me right, you once gave our model

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

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

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
