Clingy Love Chapter 452
Mona was too sleepy to open her eyes. She reached out and picked up her phone from the nightstand, then glanced at the name on the screen in a daze. It was a call from Tim.Why was he calling her so late at night?The man had not contacted her since the party last time. For some reason, Mona felt that Tim was deliberately distancing himself from her. In short, it was a little strange.Mona swiped the answer icon, and Tim’s low voice reached her ears.“Were you resting?”“Yeah. I was getting ready for bed. Do you need something?”“There’s a matter regarding work. Several details in your design draft need to be modified. I’ll send you an email later with the annotations and requests, and you can just make the changes accordingly.”“Got it.”As soon as Mona heard it was a work issue, she immediately sat up, rubbed her eyes, and turned on the lights.She did not have her laptop with her, so she had to go to the study outside.She turned on the computer to log into her email to fi

Aunt May came into the room with some food. Mona was leaning against the headboard, her cheeks flushed from the fever.“Madam, are you feeling better? Please have something to eat first.”Aunt May placed the tray on the bedside table, picked up a plate of food, and fed it to Mona’s mouth.Mona turned her head and pushed away Aunt May’s hand.“Have the kids gone to school?”“Don’t worry. The driver and chaperone have sent them to preschool. You have to eat, Madam.”Mona licked her dry lips and took the plate from Aunt May’s hand. “Okay. I’ll eat by myself.”She was eating, but there was no taste in her mouth. She simply chewed and swallowed mechanically.“Aunt May, help me get the laptop. I still have some work to do.”“No!” Aunt May instantly refused Mona’s unreasonable request.“Why are you thinking about working when you’re sick? You have to rest.”“I’m much better now.” Mona put on an obedient and pleasing expression. She learned from Millie’s example and clasped her hand

The call ended, cold and pointless. The conversation with Thaddeus had not impacted Mona much.However, it made the servants of the Fontaines busy.After Thaddeus hung up the phone, while he was waiting for his luggage on the carousel, he called Aunt May’s personal cell phone.Aunt May was at a key shop, bargaining with the locksmith when her phone rang. She hurriedly answered the phone when she saw it was Thaddeus calling.“Second Young Master, you’re finally on your phone. Have you left the plane?”Thaddeus did not answer Aunt May’s question and got straight to the point. “Is Mona sick?”Aunt May quickly said, “Yes, yes. How did you know? She had a high fever last night. The family doctor gave her an IV infusion just before dawn, so she’s better now. She’s busy working in bed now.”“What? Why did you let her work when she’s sick?”Mona’s thin and frail figure suddenly appeared in Thaddeus' mind. Why was that woman so capricious? Why was she still working when she was sick? Wa

With no internet and the laptop soon running out of battery, Mona had no choice but to give up and draft the design by hand.When Aunt May saw this, she came up with a plan. When Mona went to the washroom, Aunt May took the opportunity to hide the design along with the pen.“Aunt May, where’s my draft?” Mona, dressed in a cotton nightgown that revealed her two fair and slender legs, wandered around the room looking for her drawing.“Maybe it grew wings and flew away.” Aunt May pretended as if nothing had happened. She took out the cake, cut it into slices, and served a slice on a plate before handing it to Mona. “Would you like some cake?”“Yes, please.” Mona was tired of looking and sat on the bed with her legs crossed.She thought of eating some cake and putting aside her work for the time being.“How did you know I wanted strawberry cake?” Mona’s mouth felt sweet with the cream. She hated taking medicine when sick since the bitterness made her unable to taste anything else. At

Mona was flooded with mixed feelings after hearing Aunt May’s words. She felt bad for Thaddeus. However, Mona was also in a dilemma because her mother was involved. She was not in a fair position to judge the matter. “Wait, Madam. Are you saying your mother is that woman?” Aunt May realized the shocking connection after she combed through the details. That would mean her master married his enemy’s daughter! The relationship made Aunt May aware that things were not as simple as they looked, and her expression swiftly turned serious. Mona’s heart sank when she saw Aunt May’s reaction. She had no allies in the family and had to find someone she could rely upon. Otherwise, no one would care about her even if she died in the corner. So she took the risk by telling Aunt May about her mother. She wanted Aunt May to know because Aunt May had worked for the Fontaines for many years and had a reputation amongst the other servants. She could also learn more about her mother from

After Aunt May left, Mona opened her eyes and sat up to see a brand new key on the table. She had come up with the outrageous thought of copying the key to open the mysterious study room. With that thought in mind, she went to the study room. When she poked the key into the hole, it went in without resistance. With a turn of the key, the door unlocked. She opened it and entered. Her first impression of the study room was that it was clean. There was not a speck of dust within range. Other than a study desk and some book racks, there was nothing else in the room. Nothing felt out of place. However, since the room was locked, it must hold a secret somewhere. She sat down at the desk and opened up the first drawer. A document folder entered her sight. She put her hand on it and felt there was something inside. She unwound the string, and a laminated piece of paper fell out. It was a death certificate. As Mona went through the details, her heart raced, and her blood

Aunt May got no answer from Mona in the room. When Thaddeus called from France to tell her he could not reach Mona, Aunt May came to the room to look for her. She was afraid something had happened to Mona, so without a second thought, she opened the door. The moment she stepped inside, she noticed the locked study room was open. Before she could figure out how the door opened, she was shocked to find an unconscious Mona on the floor. “Madam! What happened? Madam?! Wake up!” Mona had fallen on her head earlier, causing a bruise on her forehead. It hurt, but not as much as her heart when she saw the death certificate. She grabbed the edge of the desk and slowly helped herself up. She clenched her teeth in pain and said to Aunt May, “Aunt May, a hand, please.” Aunt May helped Mona out of the study room and returned to bed. She then went over to the study room door to figure out how it opened. “Oh, my? Where did this key come from? Is it the one you asked me to make a co
Clingy Love Chapter 459
For a moment, Mona was rendered speechless. The question reminded her of the scene she shared with Victor last night. She found Thaddeus' question unreasonable. While she had met Victor last night, it was a brief meeting. How did it reach Thaddeus, who was another continent away? Mona said, “We just had a chat.” “What kind of chat requires you to go out in the middle of the night?” Thaddeus sounded frosty. “You haven’t answered my question. Did Victor give you a thumb drive?” Mona was annoyed by the man’s tone. “No. You’re the one being unreasonable here.” “Then how did you explain the information leak in my company?” Mona frowned. What did she have to do with his company’s information leak? “You used the study room’s computer last night, and the backup data leaked from there. How are you going to explain that?” Thaddeus sounded flat but pressuring. It felt like he was in front of Mona and condescendingly judging her. “I just did some emails, nothing else. You m
