“Is what you really think?” Eleanor asked Mona. She suddenly smiled and raised her chin to look at Mona. Her posture made her look rather arrogant. Mona looked at Eleanor. Although Elearnor’s deep eyes seemed to be smiling, they were becoming slightly cold and were turning into a sharp blade that wanted to penetrate Mona’s heart. It was clear that Eleanor’s words had an implicated meaning. Mona picked it up and responded calmly, “What do you think, Eleanor?” “Don’t overthink it. I just find it odd, as your remarriage was so sudden. Given what happened between you and Thaddeus previously, you should hate him, yet your attitude toward him changed so quickly. If it wasn’t because of something urgent, it’s hard to imagine why a person’s attitude might have changed overnight. I’m only asking because I find it strange.” Mona heard Eleanor’s response and replied casually again, “If that’s the case, you give me the same feeling.” Eleanor asked, “How so?” “Both of us are people wi
Was it not just a life-or-death struggle? Mona feared no one. “Eleanor, there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you. You know about Isabel’s miscarriage in the hospital, right?” Eleanor nodded. “Of course. Not only did Isabel miscarry, but Victor also fractured his bones and stayed in the hospital for a long time. What’s the matter? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?” Mona smirked, and a treacherous look could be seen on her face. “You don’t actually think it’s true, do you?” She casually threw a bomb at Eleanor. Eleanor’s face slowly darkened. She looked at Mona and asked, “What do you mean?” Mona continued to act as if nothing happened. She spoke about the truth that had nothing to do with her. “It’s exactly as I said—Isabel and Victor joined hands to lie to you. In fact, Isabel—” Who knew that before Mona could finish, Isabel’s angry voice could be heard coming from behind. “Mona, I’ll rip your mouth apart if you dare to talk nonsense here again.” Mona turn
This was the effect Mona wanted to see. Although it was not very moral to sow discord, she was quite happy to add fuel to fire between Eleanor and Isabel. Mona would only feel good if Isabel did not live a good life. She returned to Fontaine Residence before 3:00 pm. Her two babies had changed into clean clothes and were sitting on the sofa. They ate cookies and watched cartoons while waiting for her to come home. Mona walked over and sat on the sofa. She quietly looked at her attractive babies and smiled with her eyes squinted. “Who chose your outfits?” Bobby and Millie looked exceptionally fashionable today. Moreover, they were wearing matching sibling outfits. The former wore a white shirt with suspenders, while the latter wore a denim skirt with white sneakers and a yellow fisherman’s hat. Millie’s big eyes were as good-looking as grapes and looked like a real-life version of Barbie. “Me!” Millie raised her hand high and asked for praise. “I’m good at matching clothes
With help from the faint light coming from the bathroom, Mona squinted at the man approaching her. Perhaps sensing Mona’s fear, the man sneered with a bad attitude. Mona looked at the man’s perfect figure. When the familiar scent interspersed the air, she immediately knew who had returned. “Thaddeus,” she called out his name. The man did not respond but stopped. He removed his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa at the front of the bed. Following that, he unbuttoned the collar on his white shirt, revealing his sexy collarbone. When he got closer to Mona, his handsome and reserved face gradually became clear. Mona was still in shock, so she put her hand on her chest and rolled her eyes at Thaddeus. “Why didn’t you tell me you were back? You scared me.” Thaddeus pulled up his cuffs and unbuttoned the remaining buttons on his shirt one by one, exposing his tight and sexy chest muscles. “What are you afraid of? After all, this is our room, Mrs. Fontaine.” Thaddeus' voice w
Thaddeus saw Mona dodging and pinched her waist with his hand. “Playing dumb, hm?”“Don’t touch me.”“Who should I touch if not you? Who was Mrs. Fontaine?”Thaddeus acted exasperated.He asked over and over again: Who was Mrs. Fontaine?He was so persistent because he wanted to hear her answer.When Mona woke up in the morning, the bed beside her was empty. She touched the cold spot beside her. Last night felt like just a dream.It seemed like a dream, but the pain on her body was real.She stayed in bed for a while, then got up and went downstairs for breakfast. However, she did not see Thaddeus.She asked Aunt May, “Where did your second young master go?”“Second Young Master? Did he come back?”Aunt May did not even know that Thaddeus had come back. While drinking milk, Mona concluded that the man probably left in the middle of the night.Where could he have gone?She did not have to think. He must have gone to another woman.Mona got a little angry at that thought. I
Linda punched the air. Mona was much calmer and hugged her legs, gazing silently out at the scenery. She looked gloomy.When Linda saw her like that, she could not bear to lecture Mona anymore. She took out a box of medicine from the glove box and handed it to Mona.“Take this. You have to remember to protect yourself in the future. Our bodies are very precious.”Mona glanced at the medicine and pushed away the contraceptive pills in Linda’s hand. She shook her head and said, “I don’t need it.”“Oh-ho?” Linda sneered. “Why? Did the great Mr. Fontaine learn how to take care of you now?”Mona’s expression was faint as she said in a low voice, “Linda, I can’t get pregnant again.”Linda was shocked and thought she had heard wrong. “What did you say?”Mona turned to look at Linda with a calm yet sad smile. “After taking the pill last time, he took me to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor secretly told me that I might not be able to be a mother again.”“Damn it.” Linda waved her
“Really?”“Of course. You’ll earn much more than the amount you earn by staying up all night every day to draft designs.”Mona bit her finger and frowned in thought. Being an actress was a good way of making money, but they usually had professional training. She also heard they needed to have resources behind them. How could she get good resources if there was no one helping her and her background was not powerful enough?“Forget it. I’ll just stick to my old job.”“Come on. Do you know who your husband is? He’s the CEO of Timez Group, the boss holding the best resources in the entertainment industry. You have a great golden mountain lying right beside you. Why not consider using it?”Mona pondered silently. Linda was not wrong, but she did not want to do that. She never thought of using Thaddeus' resources either.She did not want to add another layer of involvement between them.“Besides, are you sure Thaddeus will agree to me joining the entertainment industry? His family has
Mona nodded and replied, “Okay. Whatever you say.”The two drove to a shopping street in the business district that was popular amongst online celebrities and chose a relatively aesthetic cafe. The environment here was good, and it was less crowded and quiet. The two ordered a pot of scented tea and some refreshments.Mona ate the cake with relish while Linda helped her pose for the photos.One was responsible for eating beautifully, while the other was responsible for doing the hard work.Mona’s posture was very casual, and she enjoyed the afternoon tea in her usual and most natural appearance. When Linda finished taking the pictures, she could not help but marvel.“Oh my god! You look like a celebrity even without needing to touch up these photos. Look at that magnificent figure. You have it all— chest, legs, and butt. You’re perfect.”Mona bit into the cake and calmly accepted Linda’s starry-eyed praise.She did not know whether Linda was just exaggerating. She picked up the
