Clingy Love Chapter 174
“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
Clingy Love Chapter 175
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
Clingy Love Chapter 177
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.”
Clingy Love Chapter 178
“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 179
Mona walked out of the office to find Mrs. Yale giving her employees in the guest reception area a hard time. Her two assistants stood across from Mona, quaking in their boots, and the younger lady even turned teary. “What’s going on here?” Mona turned over and whispered a question to an on-looking colleague. “I think something is wrong with Mrs. Yale’s jewelry. Someone stole a diamond necklace, and now the assistants are getting it…” Raising a brow, Mona glanced into the guest reception area in bewilderment. The jewelry pieces were put there. How did it get stolen? “Do you know how much a necklace costs? Your lifetime salaries put together won’t be able to cover the loss!” Mrs. Yale blew up. The younger assistant could not take it anymore and burst out crying. His wails startled a lot of the onlookers to come closer. Raymond, who was in the office, came approaching. It ticked the man off that there was foul play on his turf. His presence was the nosy crowd’s cue to dispers
Clingy Love Chapter 180
It was not that Raymond did not side with Mona, but the evidence was all pointing to the young boys. It was a bit of a sticky situation. Out of options, Mona had to leave the area. She waited outside for a while until the guest reception door opened. Raymond walked out, not looking too pleased. “What’s the matter? Did you manage to find out what happened?” Raymond appeared serious for once. “Mona, I need to do a search in your office. Are you okay with that?” Mona was dumbstruck. Did that mean that she was a suspect too? She opened the door to her office to let Raymond and Mrs. Yale’s group in. “Go on. Search all you want.” Standing at the office entrance, she watched a few men turn her office upside down. In the end, they found a red diamond necklace in her handbag. “That’s the necklace I lost!” Mrs. Yale gasped in shock and took the necklace for a closer inspection. “This is it. It carries the exclusive symbol of our designer.” Mona stared at the diamond necklace wh
Clingy Love Chapter 181
All eyes fell on Thaddeus, including Mona’s when he walked into the room. As the man drew close, it took Mona a few seconds to register that Thaddeus was there. Only, what was he doing there? “You’re finally here, Thad.” Now that help had arrived, Raymond approached Thaddeus, and they spoke in hushed tones, “It’s not looking good for us. Mrs. Yale isn’t backing down and is ready to call the cops.” Tensing his facial muscles, Thaddeus glanced indifferently at Raymond and sneered. “And you only informed me of it now? I told you you aren’t cut out for this.” “Now is not the time to talk about that.” Raymond took a fleeting glance at Mona. “Mona is in a tough spot at the moment. Hurry up and figure something out.” “So you can’t even handle a tiny issue like this? I guess your business degree attained from abroad was for nothing.” Raymond was speechless. He graduated at the top of his class in business school. Alas, Thaddeus was too much of a perfect guy that he outshined ever
