Clingy Love Chapter 225
Since Mona had her doubts, she could not put full confidence in the man’s story. She could not possibly take a stranger’s words at face value. Besides, the whole thing sounded far-fetched. Thaddeus gave her a ten-million-dollar necklace last night, and it, at least, showed that he cared enough to give the relationship something. Why would he harm her mother? Things were not as simple as they seemed. Mona drew a deep breath and asked, “You must know where my mother is. Give me the address, so I can save her from danger.” The man rattled off. “She’s in Neuffield. The rescue mission won’t be easy. Thaddeus has her under lock and key. I doubt you can pin her location down.” Mona remained unfazed. “I can call the cops.” The man smiled broadly but not for a good reason. “You are naïve, Ms. Susan Mayers. Your mother has been issued a death certificate years ago. The police will just think you’re a lunatic for sending them on a wild goose chase. Save your breath.” Mona fell sil

“I’m not too sure about that, but Mr. Fontaine is there to talk business.” In fact, Marcus knew what was going on. Thaddeus went to Neuffield to meet Mona’s mother. However, it was not something he could tell Mona. At the very least, it should not come from Marcus. “Alright. I got it. No need to get in touch with him. It can wait. I’ll talk to him when he comes back.” “Alright, Ms. Ortega. Just let me know if you need anything at all.” After hanging up the call, Mona hesitated for a bit but dialed Thaddeus’ number in the end. The phone rang for a while before it was connected. “What’s the matter?” The man’s husky voice was heard on the other end. “Nothing. I wanted to ask you when you intend to visit the kids.” “Why? Do the kids miss me?” The man’s tone reflected delight. It was the best thing in the world to feel needed by the children. “Yes. They’ve been talking about their trip with you to the amusement park this morning. Are you free today? Do you want to take them

Isabel scoffed. “Just admit that you’re upset. Don’t pretend to be a good sport. There’s no one else here. Who are you acting for?” That comment was a bolt out of the blue to Mona. What did Isabel mean by acting? Was Mona not supposed to offer well-wishes? She guessed she could never do good in Isabel’s eyes. “Ms. Graham, I’m here to collect my final paycheck. Spare me details of your personal life.” Giving Isabel the cold shoulder, Mona made a beeline to the finance office. “Victor, why did you come so early to pick me up?” In the back, Isabel’s shrill and biting voice suddenly turned soft and tender. Mona got goosebumps. She looked back and saw Victor with a bouquet of flowers. God knew when he arrived. Paying him no mind, she hurried to the finance office to collect the paycheck. “Suzy, hold up,” Victor called Mona from behind. She stopped in her tracks, and her internal alarm bells were ringing off the roof. She had a feeling that the name “Suzy” was going to give

Victor was all over Mona’s face like gum to a shoe. Not knowing what to do, Mona quickened the pace and turned the corner, only to bump into someone. The person’s rock-hard chest nearly crushed her nose. She lifted her chin and saw that it was Raymond. Standing next to him, Isabel was giving Mona the death stare. Seeing that it was Mona, Raymond stopped her. “I finally caught you. You won’t take my calls or answer my texts. You just quit without saying a word. I see you grew some balls.” “I got a job lined up. I have already gone through the resignation formalities.” Mona made it clear that she was not coming back, leaving out her personal conflict with Isabel even though it was the real reason for her quitting. She did not want to put Raymond in the spot, so she chose to keep mum. Raymond had a clear idea of the situation. Although he wanted to retain her, Mona had made up her mind. There was nothing much he could say. “Why were you in a hurry to leave? What? Was someone

“Mona, I won’t let this slide. I will never forgive you.” “Enough. Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?” Victor helped Isabel up and glanced at the onlooking crowd. He tugged on Isabel’s sleeve. It was humiliating for Victor. Isabel shook Victor’s hand off and hysterically shouted, “What? I was beaten up by your lover. Not only did you not help, but you think I embarrassed you too?” Victor was flustered with this cocky woman. Nevertheless, he had to concede for the sake of pride. “You’re hurt. I’ll take you to the hospital.” Isabel’s resentment only intensified. “Oh, you know that I’m hurt, but it’s only now you’re showing concern. It’s too late!” Drained, Victor sounded peevish. “Then, what do you want me to do?” “Victor, watch your attitude when you’re talking to me. Respect should be mutual. I’ll call my brother to swing by if this is how you intend to treat me.” Isabel peered at Mona and threatened, “It’s time to end this.” It was like a switch was flipped in

“Isabel again? Why can’t she quit it? Nothing good ever happens whenever you run into her. Who won the fight?” Linda gave the vegetables a rinse. “Duh. Me. She slapped me, but I mounted on her and pulled all the hair out of her.” Mona flung her hair back. Satisfied, Linda smiled. “She deserved it. It’s high time someone teaches her a lesson.” Mona popped her head out to check on the kids and nudged Linda with her elbow. “Hey, I’m telling you now. You’d better play along when the kids ask about my face. Just say that I had an allergic reaction to the makeup. The kids catch on quickly, so you should put on the best show of your life.” Linda gave her an OK sign to say she got it covered. The pair were busy in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. After an exchange of looks, Mona went to open the door. Standing at the door, Victor had a bag in hand. It contained a few bottles of medicine. “What’s this about?” “I got medicine for you from the hospital. Does your face hurt?”

“Cosmetic allergy.” Mona looked at Linda, who immediately played along. “Yes, Suzy is allergic to alcohol. Her face became like this after using counterfeit products.”Thaddeus narrowed his eyes and looked at the two women who lied without batting an eyelid. It was a lie that could only convince themselves. Even children like Bobby and Millie would not believe it.Moreover, he had the misfortune of bumping into Victor when he came upstairs.“Is that so?” The man asked instead, “Why is there medicine on the floor here?”“I called an errand boy to deliver some medicine.” Mona made up an excuse and bent down to pick up the medicine on the ground, trying to appear calm and collected.Thaddeus did not expose the woman’s lies. He already had a vague guess upon seeing the red mark on her face.He put his hand into his pocket and said, “Didn’t you say the children missed me? Aren’t you going to invite me in?”Mona replied, “Take the children to the playground. Linda and I will eat at ho

After saying that, Bobby turned around and went back to the kitchen to find Mona. He quietly stood behind her without saying a word.Mona turned around only to find that her son had been standing silently behind her. She did not know what he was thinking about.She squatted down and asked, “What are you doing here? Why don’t you go change your clothes?”“I don’t want to go out today. I still have a lot of homework.”“Really? But I didn’t see your teacher assign a lot of homework in the group chat.”Mona took out her phone, looked through the chat history of the WhatsApp group, and confirmed it again. As she wondered, she suddenly thought of something and lifted her eyes to look at her son.“Do you want to stay home with Mommy?”Bobby did not speak and answered Mona’s question with silence.Mona felt a warmth blossom in her heart. Her son knew what she was thinking.Although on the surface, she pretended to be generous and allowed Thaddeus to visit the children, as she watched

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
