Clingy Love Chapter 25
“Let’s go in.” Thaddeus took the lead, with Mona following behind him. As the sun shed its brilliance on the towering figure, his massive shadow enveloped the petite woman whole. The sudden darkness stunned her. She realized her marriage with Thaddeus was like a child trapped behind a wall or fortress. She had tried to escape the wall’s shadow, but her attempts were futile until today. After three years of being shadowed by the wall, she finally welcomed freedom. When they got into the spacious courthouse, they were the only ones there to file a divorce. Thaddeus had arranged for this to happen since he had to keep this marriage secret until the very end. The process went swiftly and smoothly since they were the only ones. Less than ten minutes later, they left the courthouse as divorcees. Thaddeus opened the door to his car. He looked at Mona and asked, “Where are you heading? I’ll give you a ride.” Mona glanced at her watch. She had an appointment with an e-commerce

Mona had no idea someone had dissed her after she left Thaddeus. She returned to her work and got busy. After the interview with the e-commerce shop, it was almost noon. She took a ride to the hospital. The first thing she wanted to do now that she had gotten the alimony was to ask for a specialist to treat Millie’s condition. Unfortunately, the doctor informed her that Millie’s condition was rather complex. The odds of the operation being successful were only 40%; if it failed, it would endanger the girl’s life. In other words, the operation was a gamble. In the best case scenario, Millie could grow up healthily; in the worst, she would lose the girl forever. However, if she chose not to treat Millie’s condition, the girl would not make it past ten years old. Mona could not make such a heavy decision in a heartbeat. It was too difficult for her. So she decided to delay the consultation and decided to think it over. She walked out of the hospital, dispirited. When she f

Mona regained her composure and adorned her smiling mask one last time. She raised her glass into the air and proposed a toast. “Mr. Fontaine, you said I’m thinking about someone, but I can say the same to you as well.” Did she just tacitly acknowledge it? Thaddeus’s eyes turned cold. He scoffed and said, “You remember your past?” Mona took a sip of wine and answered, “I do know your nephew, then?” The man narrowed his eyes in surprise, his expression profound. The woman was smart. She was trying to trick him into revealing the truth about her past. If she truly remembered her past, given her old attitude, she would definitely have created a huge disturbance. He really hoped that her memories could be buried for the rest of her life. It would not only be better for her but for everyone else as well. “You should be asking yourself that question since you know Victor.” The man gave a vague answer, attempting to brush Mona off. “Fine. It’s not the time to talk about

Thaddeus narrowed his eyes. He never realized the woman had such a vivid imagination. Since when did she see him loving another woman? Aside from the scandals, he had been loyal to his marriage with her, mentally or physically. He had never loved or slept with another woman in the past four years. With only a few questions, Mona clearly sensed Thaddeus being defensive and cautious. He really protected the woman well and refused to reveal even a single detail about her. Thaddeus swirled his glass elegantly and looked at her deeply. A long silence later, he said, “All I can say is, since I married you, she hasn’t appeared. I’ve been searching for her for twenty years, and I thought I wouldn’t see her again for the rest of my life.” The sudden realization hit Mona. “Oh, so it’s childhood lovers? You found her and wanted to give her an official title. Is this why you wanted to divorce me?” It was not due to the pressure from his family or her negligence of duty.He wanted

After Mona got into the taxi and left the restaurant, she sighed a long breath of relief. It was over. The marriage was finally over. She was like a fish released back into the ocean, now able to live a life of freedom. The taxi stopped in front of a cafe. A man was waiting for her inside, and when she came in, he stood up. “Susan, you’re here.” Mona sat opposite Victor and put her purse down. Her eyes sized the man from top to bottom. She tried her best to search for memories regarding the man, but her mind was blank. She was curious how he knew she had a pair of twins, so when he called her out to meet, she agreed. “Mr. Cornwell, how did you know I have a pair of twins?” “It’s because you’re my fiance, and I’m their father,” Victor said. “What? You are the twins’ father?” Mona dared not believe what she just heard. “Suzy.” Victor held Mona’s hand, but she quickly pulled away from him. It was disgusting. She could not accept intimate contact with the man

“Right away, sir,” Marcus said. Marcus left the office, leaving Thaddeus alone. Thaddeus could no longer concentrate on work now that he had learned the truth. He stood by the ceiling-to-floor window and peered down the entire city from the twenty-eighth floor. As he recalled his time with Mona, the man spotted even more clues. However, he understood that he was not going to get answers in his mind, so he grabbed his jacket and strode out of the office. “Marcus, I want to know where Mona is staying right now. Give me the address and tell the driver to prepare the car. I want to go there as soon as possible.” When Thaddeus arrived at Mona’s place, the sky was already dark. The car parked in front of the entrance of the apartment. He looked up at Mona’s unit and saw nothing but dark windows. It seemed no one was home. He lit a cigarette and waited, but no one returned.The man came with questions of his own, and he would not be able to rest until he got his answers.H

“Sir, both reports showed the same result. These two children have no blood relation with you.” Victor’s hand froze, his hand still holding the phone. His anticipation plummeted, and his heart plunged into despair. He could not accept what he had just heard. “Sir? Are you there?” It took Victor a while to regain his composure. He narrowed his gleaming eyes. “Dr. Lee, I heard your daughter wants to be in the entertainment business?” “Yeah, but she’s not talented enough. She didn’t even get into film school. She’s now planning to become an extra in some web series.” “You should support the dreams of your daughter. Coincidentally, my uncle’s company is looking to train rookies for a debut. If you are interested, I might be able to secure a slot for your daughter.” “Are you talking about Timez? That would be great! Thank you, Victor. I’ll definitely repay the favor soon!” “Actually, you can do it right now. I need a favor from you.” “Of course. As long as it’s within my c

Mona pursed her lips. What a small world it was for her to have run into Thaddeus in the hospital. She turned around and headed into the other elevator, giving way for the medical staff. The moment the elevator shut, Thaddeus caught a glimpse of the floor that Mona was going to before following the medical staff into the other elevator. When Mona returned to Millie’s ward, both the babysitter and Millie had taken their breakfast. Millie looked dispirited until her mother came in. Her eyes gleamed as she slipped off the bed and jumped into Mona’s arms. “Mommy, I don’t want to be here. I want to go back home!” the girl cried meekly. Her rough voice broke Mona’s heart even more. She carried the girl and put her back on the bed. “Millie, you have to stay in the hospital for now. I promise to come see you every day when I finish work, and we’ll sleep together at night, okay?” Millie widened her teary eyes. “When can we go back?” “If you listen to the doctor, we will be a

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
