Clingy Love Chapter 288
There was no longer a solid tenderness in Thaddeus’s eyes. Instead, cautiousness and indistinct concern hid behind those pupils. What was he afraid of? Mona looked into his eyes, getting the sense that he was hiding something from her. He was afraid that what they had would be gone when the truth came out. In other words, there was some truth to Victor’s words.Victor got up from the ground and adjusted his tie. He pointed at Thaddeus and righteously uttered, “He was bitter about his father’s affair, so he tried to get rid of Mona. I would secure holdings in the family business from my marriage alliance with the Grahams and earn a spot on the board of directors, so his concern was that I would be a threat to his standing. That’s the truth behind my uncle’s motives.”Thaddeus narrowed his eyes and scoffed. “That’s absurd. Why would I put the coast on lockdown if I were out to get you? The vessel belongs to the Fosters. I don’t have the right to decide the sailing route. How do y

Victor took the beating from Master Fontaine without protest. Master Fontaine was poor in health, and it would fall on Victor’s shoulders if anything were to happen to the old man due to Victor’s choice of words. He held his tongue and said nothing more. Standing in the middle of the meeting room, Thaddeus narrowed his dashing eyes at the nosy old folks. The tension surrounding Thaddeus seemed to intensify in the air. “Have you seen enough?”Thaddeus’s gaze fleeted across each and every one of the sly old foxes, sending chills down their spine. It was as if a sword was hanging over their heads.Filled with fear, the old folks said their goodbyes and left before Thaddeus unleashed his fury on them. With them gone, the circle was finally over. Nevertheless, Thaddeus and Victor’s relationship had moved in an opposing direction. Things would not be an easy fix. In fact, the situation could not get any more complicated with Mona’s mother now involved. The subject had always

Master Fontaine’s eyes lit up. Since it came from Mona, it must be true. So he took it seriously this time. The old man lost his head to bliss, not knowing what to say. “It’s true… It’s true… The kids will carry on the family line.”“B*stard! I want to hear it from you. Are the children Mona’s and yours?” Still doubtful, Master Fontaine turned to Thaddeus for confirmation. “Yes.” Thaddeus nodded his head. The definite answer brought Master Fontaine back to reality from the burst of joy. God knew what was going through the old man’s head as he kept switching between sitting and standing. It then struck Master Fontaine to ask where the children were. “I want to see them.” “They have been living in Worchester City. I have not brought them to meet you yet because the kids have not learned about their ancestry. I was worried you would not be able to accept them.” “Why wouldn’t I accept them? I love kids. Bring them over as soon as you can. I want to meet with them. They are

With a benevolent smile, Master Fontaine stroked Mona’s head and gleefully uttered, “Mona, since you and Thaddeus have kids together, have you given any thought to getting back together?” Mona shook her head without a second thought. “No.” How could they possibly get back together? The issue with Mona’s mother had not been sorted out yet. How could the relationship carry on when the man would not even communicate with her? Mona never trusted a relationship that had nothing to hold onto. It was the tackiest and most unreliable form of connection. Seeing that Mona had made up her mind, Master Fontaine found it a shame and glared at Thaddeus. The boy was such a letdown. Thaddeus only had himself to blame for losing a great wife like Mona. Things were going fine, but Thaddeus had to be caught up in the past and tracked down Mona’s mother. What on earth was Thaddeus up to? Most of the time, Master Fontaine could not understand what was going on in his grandson’s mind. However, T

Mona shook her head. “See. That’s the difference between him and me. He thinks he’s protecting me from harm, but I don’t get an open and honest relationship. We can’t get through to each other or get on the same page. How are we supposed to spend the rest of our lives together?“The past conflict is not what’s standing between us. It is because our approach toward the relationship never changed. I don’t think getting back together is in the cards.” Mona kept her head straight and made a conscious decision about the relationship. For a moment, she believed they were more than that, but who was she kidding? She would be repeating the same mistake by getting back together. Mona was better off living a carefree life as she did right now. Master Fontaine could understand where Mona was coming from, and he was furious. “Sigh. That character of Thaddeus’s… Sometimes, I just want to give him a good beating. You have no idea how many times he has gotten under my skin in a day. You spen

Marcus braced himself for Thaddeus’s icy stare as the latter must have gotten hell from Ms. Ortega. “Did you get a confession?” Thaddeus removed his sheepskin gloves and handed them to Marcus before taking large strides to the interrogation room. “No, but he admitted that he works for the Foster Group. He said the abduction was set up by two people.” Thaddeus raised his brows. “Two people? Are we talking about men or women?” “I’m guessing both genders.” “What do you mean by ‘guess’? Think twice before you answer me.” Thaddeus glanced at Marcus in disdain. Marcus’s half-hearted attitude did not sit well with him.Marcus anxiously covered his mouth and bobbed his head. It appeared Thaddeus had gotten a lot of smack from Ms. Ortega. Marcus muttered quietly to himself. Thaddeus entered the interrogation room and looked at the bearded man hanging off the ceiling. He stuck out a finger, raised the man’s chin, and blew at his face. The bearded man woke up choking and opened

The bearded man bobbed his head. “That’s right. Thomas took orders from Mr. Foster’s daughter. I was standing next to Thomas when he was on the phone once, and I heard him address the person on the other end of the line as Ms. Foster. I can’t think about anybody else other than Sherry Foster.” Thaddeus grimace grew. “Are you sure?” The bearded man paused and hesitated for a moment. “I’m not exactly sure because I didn’t see it myself, but it was a woman who gave Thomas ideas.” Thaddeus dwelled in his thoughts with a frown before looking up and taking stock of the bearded man’s face. He questioned, “Who told you to go out to sea?” “It was a corporate assignment. We were told to deliver cargo to Southeast Asia, but we only found out that there was no cargo once we were onboard. Instead, we had two people tied up below the deck. Since we are only employees, we just did as we were told without asking questions.” Thaddeus callously tucked the corner of his lips as murderous intent

Thomas lay on the ground and scooted toward Thaddeus, dragging a trail of red behind him. He held onto Thaddeus’s pant leg and pleaded pitifully. “I didn’t plan the kidnapping. I was only a pawn. Please, Mr. Fontaine. Spare my life.” Thaddeus narrowed his eyes, disgusted that Thomas touched him. Thaddeus kicked Thomas away. “So tell me. Whose orders were you acting on?” Thomas curled up into a ball and wailed, “Mr. Fontaine, you must offer me protection if I tell you. Otherwise, she’ll kill me.” Thaddeus had a gruesome look on his face. “Tell the truth, and you will live.” “It was Sherry Foster. Sherry approached me during Isabel and Victor’s engagement party and proposed an alliance to get revenge. I acted on impulse and agreed to it after she pushed the idea hard on me.” A deadly glint sparkled in Thaddeus’s eyes as he turned and asked Marcus, “Where is she now?” Marcus glanced at the door and caught a glimpse of a white silhouette. Upon closer look, he found Sherry

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
