Clingy Love Chapter 349
If it were in the past and Isabel spoke to her in such a commanding tone, Mona would have turned to leave or rushed in to scold Isabel to vent the anger in her heart.However, Mona did not want to do that now. Even if Isabel were just a stranger, she would still want to go over and offer a little help or comfort so that Isabel would feel better.Mona pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. She saw Isabel sitting in a hospital bed with her hair mussed up messily. Her face was swollen due to her crying, and since she had just gotten an abortion procedure, her face was white as paper from losing too much blood. She looked like she had aged twenty years.“Mona, did you come to laugh at me?”Isabel half-opened her eyes and stared at Mona, asking weakly.Mona shook her head and moved a chair to sit by the bed. “Do you need any help? Or I can call your family. I remember you have an older brother.”“No, don’t call my brother.” Isabel waved her hand in agitation. “You must never

Mona sat by the hospital bed with her long eyelashes lowered. Under the light, the two beautiful shadows cast under her eyes were like a pretty butterfly flapping its wings.Victor and Susan were childhood sweethearts. They were each other’s first love and had the purest romantic memories. They must have experienced a lot of bitter and memorable things like other couples.There must have been love in their relationship.However, that had nothing to do with Mona. Now, she was Mona Ortega, not Susan Mayers.“I don’t love him. Sometimes, I even think he’s a stranger. I don’t understand him. Right now, I’m Mona Ortega. I used to be married to another man and am the mother of two children. This is my life, and Victor has never been a part of it.”Mona gave her answer truthfully. Thaddeus, who was standing in the doorway, had a pleased look in his eyes.These were the most pleasant words of their relationship that he heard from the woman’s mouth. She only had him and their children in

Eleanor’s sobs grew when she heard that.Thaddeus frowned slightly and reminded her in a low voice, “We’re outside Isabel’s ward now. Keep your emotions in check. You have to take care of her. After all, she just had a miscarriage. Her mood isn’t any better.”Eleanor nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes. My daughter-in-law is still inside. I’ll go see her.”She stood up and entered Isabel’s ward. The person inside had heard the conversation earlier clearly. Since Thaddeus had come up with an excuse to cover up that shameful matter, Isabel went with the flow and treated it like it was an accident. She also acted like a victim to garner sympathy.Thus, the mother and daughter-in-law in the ward hugged each other and burst into tears.Mona stood outside. After witnessing the farce of deception and acting, her emotions gradually became numb.This was what affluent families meant by putting interests first. For the sake of their ridiculous reputation, they simply used a fig leaf to cover up t

The two people looked at each other for a moment. Thaddeus’s gaze swept over Mona’s body, then casually fell on Tim. His cool lips curled up with a sneer, but his face was indifferent as usual.Mona ignored him, looked at Tim, and continued walking forward, signaling him not to pay attention to Thaddeus.The two walked past the group of bosses as if they were strangers, not exchanging any pleasantries or greetings. They treated each other like air.A few bosses did not know the situation and thought Thaddeus took a fancy to the woman. They looked over and noticed her slender and supple waist and breathtaking face. Any man on the street would have his soul hooked. Let alone, Thaddeus.If this woman were born in ancient times, like Cleopatra, she would be the ruin of a country.“Mr. Fontaine, do you like that girl?” One of the bosses was good at sucking up and knew that Thaddeus was interested in that girl. “I can have someone investigate for you and send you her information and con

When Mona opened the passenger side door and got into the car, Tim immediately saw the black woolen coat draped over her. He had just seen Thaddeus earlier, so he knew very well that the coat belonged to Thaddeus.Without having to ask, his eyes dimmed, and his face showed obvious displeasure.Mona saw this, but she did not feel the need to explain anything to him, or the need to feel responsible for his unhappiness, either. They were just ordinary friends and business partners.Tim was dissatisfied with Mona’s reaction and asked in a low tone, “Is that Thaddeus’s coat?”He asked the question even though he already knew the answer. All he wanted was for Mona to give him a reaction.Mona nodded and said truthfully, “Yes.”Tim clenched his fists. A fire ignited in his chest, but there was nowhere to vent. He could only restrain himself and grip the steering wheel tightly as if it were an outlet for his anger. He wanted to vent out that fire completely. He used so much strength that

Tim was determined to think of a way to conquer Mona. He believed that sooner or later, he would turn this woman into the daughter-in-law of the Graves family, his Mrs. Graves.He also firmly believed that Mona’s dislike of him was only temporary, and it did not mean that she would not develop feelings for him in the future. Feelings were fluid. With hard work, he could definitely let Mona see how valuable he was.Tim cheered himself up in his heart. After making up his mind, he opened the driver’s seat door and got into the car.When he started the car, the two people did not speak. Tim drove without distractions, and Mona looked straight ahead. They both tacitly agreed not to say another word. The atmosphere in the car instantly fell to a freezing point, so gloomy that it was somewhat suffocating.“Thanks.” When the car reached its destination, Mona thanked Tim and got out of the car, remaining detached and indifferent. She was deliberately keeping a distance from him.Tim watch

What that meant was the CEO wanted to see Ms. Ortega. As a receptionist, she was keen enough to realize that. Thus, she had to use whatever methods to make Mona stay.The receptionist opened the gate for Mona and let her pass. “Ms. Ortega, you can take the CEO’s elevator directly.”“Okay. Thank you.”Mona took the dry-cleaned coat and went straight into the CEO’s elevator, which led her to Thaddeus’s office on the twenty-eighth floor.At that moment, Thaddeus was in the conference with the executives. So Mona exited the elevator and went directly into the CEO’s office rest area.There was a simple bed and wardrobe for him to rest and change his clothes.She hung his coat in the wardrobe, walked to the door of the rest area, and went outside. The office was just ahead, and the door opened before she could leave the floor.A middle-aged man in a suit and tie came in. When he saw Mona coming out of the private area, he had a disdainful look on his face as he scoffed coldly, “When d

Mona remembered having dinner with Tim and his father a few days ago. Tim’s father had asked her about her family name and mistook her for the daughter of the Ortega Group’s owner. As the man before her said, Ortega was not a common family name in Worchester City. “Are you the manager of the Ortega Group?” Mona voiced her concern. “I’m glad you know. You should know better than anyone that the Ortegas and Fontaines are closely related. If I’m right, Mona Ortega isn’t your real name.” The man sounded calmer than before and somehow had a sense of superiority on his face. He continued, “More precisely, it’s Thaddeus and my youngest daughter. They had something in the past, but now it seems that punk is quite loyal. Even if he’s seeing other women outside, he still thinks about Selene…” The man sounded like he was talking to himself even though those words were meant for Mona. He stopped when he assumed he intrigued Mona and sighed. “But it’s history now. If you want to know

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
