Mona was speechless.She rarely argued with the man. In fact, they never argued before. It was not because she was generous, but because Thaddeus did not care about anything. Almost nothing could affect his mood.Mona could not understand what was going on this time. All she did was not come home in his car. Did he have to get so angry?“So, that’s why you’re angry tonight?”“Who said I’m angry?” Thaddeus snorted coldly. He flipped through the book and asked casually, “Has Tim been pursuing you recently?”Mona paused for a moment, remembering Tim’s confession to her today.Was this man an esper? How did he know everything?Mona was vague and did not answer the question directly.“Why? Do you want him to pursue me?”“Do as you like. It has nothing to do with me.”The man slapped the book on the desk and pushed the wheelchair to the window, turning his cold and mysterious back to Mona.Mona pursed her lips, more or less guessing the reason why Thaddeus was angry.It was the m
Due to the urgency of the matter, Marcus immediately informed Thaddeus about it. When they arrived at the warehouse in the suburbs, the workers had already put out the fire and were carrying the goods inside.Thaddeus’s cold face was calm and serious. When he stepped into the warehouse, his presence gave the workers a sense of intimidation and distance, and everyone worked hard to do their jobs.“Chins up, everyone. It’s time to earn your salary.”Thaddeus glanced at the workers and spoke in an imposing voice.The ground was flooded, and the goods piled up inside had to be carried out as soon as possible to reduce losses.While giving out commands, Thaddeus rolled up his trouser legs, took off his suit jacket, and threw it at Marcus. Then, he joined the team of workers in carrying the goods. His tall body bent down and worked together with them.Marcus had long been accustomed to this part of Thaddeus’s behavior. While outsiders saw Thaddeus for how bright and dazzling he was, th
Marcus heard the helplessness in Thaddeus’s tone and sighed.On one hand, was his hatred for Yvonne, and on the other hand, was his love for her daughter. He must be feeling very conflicted.The complicated family feud was not something that Marcus, a mere assistant, could interfere with. So Marcus simply continued to drive.When they arrived at Bits and Bites, the sky was slightly brighter. However, it was still too early, and they had to wait a while before the breakfast store opened.After buying all of Mona’s favorites, Marcus looked at the time and urged Marcus to drive back to Galaxy Bay as quickly as possible.Marcus sped all the way to the destination. It was only when he looked back did he realize that Thaddeus had fallen asleep in the backseat.“Sir?”He called out, but Thaddeus did not respond and continued sleeping like a log.Thaddeus had stayed up all night last night doing physical work. A normal person would have collapsed from the effort.Marcus looked at the
Mona shook her head and looked at the breakfast from Bits and Bites on the table.Bits and Bites was a famous breakfast store. When she and Thaddeus lived in his big villa, she used to love eating the food there and would buy it after every morning run.Back then, Thaddeus had steak and coffee for breakfast and did not care about her favorite breakfast foods.It was strange. Why did he buy breakfast from Bits and Bites today?Furthermore, the diner was very far from here. It was almost at the other end of the city.Mona took out the food inside. They were still warm. She served the food on plates and called the children down to eat.After taking care of the children’s breakfast, Linda drove over to pick up the children and send them to school.Mona saw them off and took the medicine box upstairs to check on Thaddeus.Opening the bedroom door, she went to the bedside and looked at the man lying on the bed without even changing his clothes.She saw the sludge on his clothes and
Tim stood at the door carrying a bag. He had a pair of frameless glasses on the bridge of his tall nose, and his attire was extremely handsome. His black knitted shirt coupled with his khaki pants make him look like a refined yet roguish high school student who walked out of a comic book.“I’m here for Mona. I’m her friend.”When Mona heard the conversation at the door, she put down her book, and walked over.“Tim, what are you doing here?”“Didn’t you call the hospital and ask for sick leave?” Tim scanned Mona up and down worriedly. “What’s wrong with you? Why didn’t you go to the hospital?”“You’ve misunderstood. I’m not the one who’s sick.”Mona looked at the bag he was carrying in his hand. “You brought something?”“Yeah, I went to Bits and Bites to get you breakfast. You like the food there, right?”Mona was puzzled. “When did I say that?”She did not remember telling Tim about that.“It was that time when you had a meal with your colleague. I was sitting at the table ne
“Yes, he’s very generous and kind. For charity, he even bought a sloppy necklace for ten million. It already would have been amazing if the necklace fetched a price of ten thousand, but he said he bought it for ten million because it had a beautiful love story behind it. I gave him a scolding when he brought it home.”The corner of Tim’s lips stiffened and became slightly unnatural as he listened quietlyHe really did not like to hear Mona praise his love rival.The two of them were living under the same roof. Could their old love have been rekindled?Mona also caught the fleeting twitches on Tim’s face. She had achieved her purpose.She wanted to make Tim misunderstand. It was also another way of politely rejecting him.Tim picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with some disdain, “It’s just a necklace worth ten million. It’s not worthy of you.”Mona shook her head. “No. To me, it was full of sincerity.”Tim’s hand froze. The rim of the cup touched his lips, but he was una
When Thaddeus spoke, his burning breath sprayed on the side of Mona’s ear. She shuddered and flinched, pushing the man away in rejection.“Back off!”Thaddeus was not angry at being pushed away.He had known the woman was just using him as a shield to reject Tim, but it at least showed that she still could not accept displays of love from the opposite sex.“Is this funny to you, Thaddeus?”Mona was a little angry. What good would it do for both of them to have such an unclear and ambiguous relationship?“I told you. I want to get back together with you.”“But I don’t.”“I’ll give you time.”“It’s not a matter of time.” Mona’s attitude was cold and firm. “We won’t end well together.”Thaddeus stared into Mona’s eyes, and a dim look flashed across his face.After a moment, he asked, “Don’t you have any feelings for me?”“No. If I did, I’d have them already in the few years we were married.”Mona was telling the truth. She knew her heart very well and what she wanted.Thadde
The woman said she did not want anything to do with him, so why was he still here?Thaddeus pursed his lips and walked back to his room. Ten minutes later, he changed into his suit and came downstairs.Without a word to Mona or even looking at her, he pushed the door open and left.The nanny, who witnessed the whole argument from the side, walked over to Mona, and comforted her carefully.“Madam, did you have a fight with him?”Mona slumped onto the sofa and took a long breath.“No.”“Then why did he leave? He’s still sick. Do you want me to call him back?” The nanny did not know the situation and thought the two were a normal couple. “The most important thing when a husband and wife argues is communication. The weather is cold today, and your husband still has a fever. He shouldn’t be out and about.”Mona waved her hand. “Don’t bother. You don’t have to worry about him having nowhere to go. Besides, we’re divorced.”“Huh?”The nanny was surprised and connected some dots. It
