Thaddeus brushed aside Sherryโs yelling. His eyes reeked of cutthroat callousness. The one thing Sherry should not have done was lay hands on his woman. So what if she was the daughter of the wealthiest man? Thaddeus was not going to play nice now that boundaries were crossed. Thaddeus walked out of the red-bricked building and took a call from his mom. Mrs. Fontaine had gone back to her hometown recently and only returned to the Fontaine Residence today. She found out from the butler that Thaddeus had sealed the coast off for Mona and fought with Victor in the COC meeting room. These two incidents came as a bombshell to Mrs. Fontaine. โThaddeus, when did you get back in touch with Mona? Why did you put the coast on lockdown because of her? Have you lost your mind?โ Thaddeus removed his phone from his ear and waited until his mother had gotten steam off her chest before sticking the phone back against his ear. Taking the wheel of the Rolls Royce, Thaddeus put on his Bluet

The kids should not be left out in the cold if they were Thaddeusโs. However, Mrs. Fontaine simply could not warm up to Mona. Mona merely used her skin-deep beauty to put her son under a spell. Mrs. Fontaine particularly hated Monaโs eyes, as they resembled those belonging to the homewrecker who stole the heart of Thaddeusโs father. Mrs. Fontaine loathed Mona from the first encounter. โThe children must take the family name, but you canโt remarry Mona.โ Mrs. Fontaine was firm on that note. โMona canโt be an assistance to your career. Not only is she incompetent, but she will also slow you down. You should marry in your social class instead of someone who is leeching off you. She will only bring a disgrace to the family.โ Thaddeus furrowed his brows in displeasure. โMom, youโre being narrow-minded. Mona is the mother of the children. Youโre killing her by taking the children away from her.โ Mrs. Fontaine was livid. โWhat? It seems she got you wrapped around her little finger.

Bobby stood up and drew close to Master Fontaine. Appearing a little shy and reserved, the boy politely bowed at Master Fontaine. โHello, Great-Grandpa.โ Master Fontaine squeezed his cheek and uttered with joy, โGood boy. Bobby, you really resemble your dad when he was a boy. Youโre too young to develop a poker face. You might become boring like your dad when you grow up. Smile more, okay?โ Bobby took a glance at Thaddeus. They shared the same deadpan look. โGreat-Grandpa, my dream is to become a man like Daddy. A man should keep a straight face to be a qualified leader.โ A certain man in a corner took delight in Bobbyโs words. Although he did not show it on his face, his lips curled ever so slightly. It was a proud moment for Thaddeus. Even more so than when he closed the deal on a multimillion-dollar project.โMy. Look at your son. Thatโs some great insight coming from a child. He shows more promise than you two.โ Master Fontaine looked at Mona and Thaddeus with a smile be

Flashing her pearly whites, Millie nodded her head and grabbed Thaddeusโs hand to put on her heart. She said, โThis spot here missed you the most, which means I missed you lots and lots.โ The comment made Thaddeusโs heart melt. He dabbed on Millieโs nose and uttered in a raspy voice, โMy good girl.โ โMommy, where have you been the last few days?โ Bobby turned his attention to Mona. His keen eyes picked up on the ligature marks on Monaโs wrists.Bobby jumped off the sofa and grabbed Mona by the wrists. Tension ran along his little face. โDidnโt you say you were away on business? What are these injuries? Who did you get in another fight with?โ โOh, I got the marks from retrieving my baggage after I got out of the plane. I wasnโt paying attention and hurt myself.โ Pretending as if nothing had happened, Mona withdrew her arms and knocked on Bobbyโs head. โCan you not put me on the spot and lecture me in front of your great-grandpa and others? Hmph. I think someone is asking for

Dinner was set at a nearby restaurant in the neighborhood. The place was crowded since it was dinnertime. Seeing that there were no tables available, Mona was ready to move on to another restaurant when the restaurant owner became solicitous at the sight of Thaddeus, who had just arrived after parking the car. โMr. Fontaine, what a wonderful surprise. I canโt believe you would dine here. You should have informed me in advance, and I would have gotten a table set up for you.โ Thaddeus narrowed his eyes at the man while digging through his mind for information on him. If Thaddeus remembered correctly, he had met the man at a business dinner. The man was the PR manager of a food and beverage company. Their interaction had ended after the business dinner since Thaddeus was not close to him.Thaddeus courteously smiled. โWeโre only having a family dinner. I wouldnโt want to trouble you.โ โSo they are your family, Mr. Fontaine. You should have said so. Weโre usually full at this ho

Mona put her cup down before glancing at Thaddeus and Master Fontaine. โActually, Iโve been thinking about that as well. Do you have any suggestions?โ A childโs education was a crucial part of their lives. She used to worry a lot about providing her kids with the best education, but things were no longer the same now. With Thaddeusโs status and resources, he would be able to provide some of the best, if not the best, education for them. A lot more choices we now available to them. โIn my opinion, send them to an international school from elementary to high school. After that, send them abroad to train them to be independent. Thatโs how all the children of the Fontaines were brought up.โ โI had a similar thought as well. Send them to an international school first. As for studying abroad, we can discuss that with the kids once theyโre older and let them decide if they want to further their studies.โ The grandfather and grandson talked about many things. From the kidsโ education

Thaddeus, aware of Master Fontaineโs persistence, no longer tried to dissuade the man. โIf you insist, sure, but arenโt you afraid of being too tired? You would be traveling from Worchester to Oakfield with two kids. Itโs not a short trip.โ โItโll be fine. Just arrange for more men to come along. Iโm old. How many more times can I go back to Oakfield? Bringing the two kids along for once will make up for my regrets.โ Master Fontaine sounded sentimental, and the emotion spread to Mona. "Grandpa, don't say that. You can still go back to visit the ancestor's grave, and if you don't mind, I'll let Bobby and Millie follow you every year. Even after they attend primary or high school or enter a rebellious stage, as long as you don't mind, I'll let them follow you.โ โMona, you really know how to make me happy.โ Master Fontaine stroked his beard, cackling with laughter. โBobby and Millie are good kids. I donโt think anyone would dislike them. Iโd like for them to accompany me.โ As

โOkayโฆโ Master Fontaine was rendered speechless. He then turned to Mona and the kids playing happily at the mini playground. A heart-warming smile appeared on his face. โThaddeus, do you know why I insisted on bringing the kids back to Oakfield with me?โ Thaddeus wiped his mouth after finishing Monaโs leftovers. He glanced at his grandfather and said, โBecause you are a proud man, and you want to look good in front of the extended family by telling them you have a pair of great-grandchildren?โ Master Fontaine chuckled. โYouโre so short-sighted. While thatโs one of the reasons, I actually did it for you.โ Thaddeus was surprised. โWhat do you mean?โ Master Fontaine said after a heavy sigh, โIโm taking the kids away because Iโm trying to create space for the two of you. There are many things a couple can not say when the kids are around. I hope you and Mona can make things right while the kids are with me. Itโs important for a husband and wife to have good communication.โ

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. โWhereโs your mommy?โ Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. โFreeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.โ 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. โHurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.โ 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

โMommy, did the baby kick you today?โ Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Monaโs belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommyโs stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. โThe baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?โ โYeah. The baby is kicking.โ 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 Monaโs ear. โWerenโt you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. Itโll arrive tonight.โ โYay.โ 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

โNo. I wonโt let myself go.โ 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 manโs 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. โYouโre responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.โ Thaddeus straightened his tie. โAlright. I can do that. I want to be present in the babyโs life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. Iโll handle Bobby and Millieโs school run, okay?โ The man pinched Monaโs face dotingly. โNow youโre talking. Are you heading out?โ Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. โYeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.โ โI wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.โ 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 Thaddeusโ 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. โSo 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?โ 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. โHand over the camera!โ โThereโs nothing in the camera. Besides, itโs my personal property. Why should I give it to you?โ โYou clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say thereโs nothing.โ Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. โYouโre pregnant. Think about the child.โ Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. โWhy do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.โ Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeusโ legs and smiled dryly. โWhat happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?โ 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. โI wonโt attend any media interviews before the election, but I wonโt disappear from the public eye either. I donโt 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.โ 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

โItโs okay. Thatโs normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since itโs a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, youโll be back to running in no time.โ Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. โLeave.โ Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. โCan you leave? I need some time alone,โ Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. โOkay. Iโll be right outside if you need me.โ 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 manโs 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
