The Maybach speeded down the road. Perhaps the other cars saw that this car was too expensive to hit and consciously avoided it. So the journey was smooth all the way, even though it was rush hour.Mona leaned against the back of the seat. The heating was turned on and warm enough to make one feel drowsy. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.Thaddeus glanced to the side at the sleeping woman curled up. He pulled over to the side of the road, took off his jacket to cover her body, turned down the music, and continued to drive.Mona took a nap and woke to find the car parked across the street from the breakfast store.“We’re here.” Sitting up, she rubbed her drowsy eyes and looked at Thaddeus, who was holding his phone and dealing with his emails beside her.The sun had already risen high, and the gentle golden rays enveloped his deep face. The image was very much like a clip from a movie, making her mesmerized for a moment.Thaddeus noticed the movement of the person be
Thaddeus put his hands into his pockets and stood quietly among the customers. He was like an aloof deity, with his handsome face full of indifference and arrogance, giving people a sense of distance.The man’s appearance in such a crowded and smoky breakfast store attracted the attention of everyone in the store.Mona rolled her eyes at him and went to the entrance to place her order.“Boss, are there any waffles left?”“Of course. I saved some, especially for you.” The boss looked inside and asked Mona in a low voice, “You want the usual, right? Two sets?”Mona glanced at Thaddeus and said grumpily, “No, just one set. That man doesn’t need to eat.”Her voice was not too loud or soft and was just enough to reach Thaddeus’s ears. The man quietly looked at the greasy table and could not help but frown in disgust.The proud man thought, ‘How can I sit just because she told me to? I won’t lower myself that much.’Meanwhile, Mona returned to the table with a steaming breakfast to f
Pig out?It was rare that someone like him used slang words.Thaddeus was pleased with Mona’s reaction. This woman had been angry at him the entire time and had finally shown him a smile. It had not been easy.The man’s dark and deep eyes flashed with light, making him look charming and dazzling and revealing a touch of contentment. Even the waffles in his mouth did not taste as greasy.The two people quietly enjoyed their breakfast as the store’s diners gradually dispersed. As the crowded area became spacious, Thaddeus grew bored and looked around the shop’s environment.The place was small, but it was clean and warm. There was even a rustic feel to it.To be honest, the food in this store was not that good. What Mona liked was probably the atmosphere...“Boss, why don’t I see your wife today?”Mona’s voice pulled Thaddeus’s wandering thoughts back. He followed Mona’s gaze and looked over. The man who had been busy all morning was sitting on a chair to the side, so tired that
The breakfast store owner turned his head to the side to look at Thaddeus and said, “It was a few years ago, during the first time this girl came to my store.”Thaddeus looked at Mona, who was focusing on the acupuncture and turned back to the owner, quietly waiting for the continuation.The breakfast owner turned and adjusted his position to make himself more comfortable.He closed his eyes and continued, “She brought two small children to the store to have breakfast. I only learned afterward that they were her biological children. It was winter back then, and Millie was standing on the side of the road waiting for her mommy to buy breakfast when she saw the candy man’s stall across the road. You know how kids are, always curious about new things. She ran over to take a look, but there was a car that didn’t manage to brake in time. I was making waffles at that time. When I saw it happening, I quickly ran to pick Millie up and brought her somewhere safe. However, I tripped on a ston
“I can only say that fate was in play between your daughter and us. Fate brought you two and us together. You’re our benefactor. It’s our fortune that one good deed led us to be rewarded by a gushing spring of repayment from you. However, a bigger blessing is still waiting for you. You two will have a smooth and sweet life in the future.”Thaddeus was incredibly pleased to hear those words. He felt that the money he spent was well worth it.He glanced at the obedient little woman beside him, and his eyes filled with joy and contentment.“Thank you for blessing Mona and me. I’ve already arranged for a car for you at the hospital entrance. So we won’t see you off.”The breakfast shop owner and his wife glanced at each other and wisely excused themselves.Mona pulled away from Thaddeus, her expression indifferent and cold.“Why do you keep telling people that we’re husband and wife? We’re divorced, okay? Can you stop talking nonsense? How am I supposed to meet people in the future?”
Mona was 80% sure that this fully covered-up woman across from her was Isabel.The woman stood there for a few seconds, then squeezed into the crowd and entered the elevator.When the elevator doors closed, Mona watched the woman disappear from sight, and her curiosity grew stronger.With Isabel’s temperament, she would definitely use the special VIP channel if she came to the hospital. However, she was acting sneaky, as if she did not want people to know that she came to see a doctor. There might be something fishy going on.Driven by curiosity, Mona stood in place for a while and watched the elevator floor display. Every time there was a pause in the elevator number, she would look up according to the floor numbers and finally saw Isabel’s figure in the corridor of the sixth floor.Mona glanced at the floor directory and saw that the sixth floor was the maternity department.Confused, she waited for the elevator to descend to the first floor before also going up to the sixth fl
“This is a hospital, not your private domain.”Before Mona could speak, Thaddeus looked at Isabel with a cold and indifferent face.Isabel was stunned and said in surprise, “Thaddeus?”She was wearing sunglasses, so she only noticed Mona. She did not realize that the tall and stalwart man next to Mona was Thaddeus.Isabel averted her gaze behind the sunglasses and felt guilt in her heart. The man who went in with her rushed out to look for her. When he saw Mona and Thaddeus, he swallowed the words he was just about to say.It was obvious that the two people had a guilty conscience. Thaddeus glanced at them and asked casually, “What are you doing here?”Isabel gulped. “I’m pregnant, so I asked my friend to accompany me for a checkup.”Mona frowned and narrowed her eyes at Isabel. It was clear she was lying.Thaddeus was unmoved and remained indifferent. He asked quietly out of courtesy, “Does Victor know about this?”“Don’t tell him yet.” Isabel was a little flustered and quick
On the contrary, the two men on the side were extremely calm and indifferent.Mona stood by and observed Victor and Thaddeus’s reactions.She found it strange. Why did someone as indifferent as Thaddeus, who could simply pretend to be concerned and say a few words out of courtesy, insist on making Isabel come here? Did he find something suspicious?On the other hand, with the way Isobel was acting, it was hard not to doubt her...The person whose reaction surprised Mona the most was Victor.Even though he had just found out his fiancee was pregnant, he was completely indifferent as if he was a spectator. There was no expression on his face, especially when he learned that Isabel took medicine that might have a bad effect on the fetus. He was not worried at all.“I didn’t take medicine! Stop asking me.” Isabel was so annoyed by the doctor’s question that she stood up and walked to Victor. “No matter what, I’m getting rid of this baby today.”Victor put his hands into his pockets
