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
While spacing out, the afternoon went by leisurely with her thoughts drifting away.Mona did not expect that her leaving Fontaine Residence with Linda would resulted in Marcus, Thaddeus' amazing assistant, running ragged.Thaddeus had left Fontaine Residence early to buy Mona breakfast, but as soon as he returned, the maid told him that Mona had gone out again.The man’s heart was full of displeasure. It would be fine if he was not around. However, now that he was back, why did she not stay at home for him? He was very angry.A strong feeling of possessiveness welled up. That woman ran away without telling him. Did he not give her enough, or was she growing bold and was not afraid of him at all?Thus, he gave an order to Marcus to find her immediately.Find her and send her to Gold Coast.Thaddeus' order made Marcus go on a wild goose chase. He had been tracking all of the lady’s movements during this period of time and reported them to Thaddeus at any time.Thus, Marcus had so
Thaddeus was the most reserved in front of Mona. There were many things he wanted to say but was unable to and only kept them in his heart.However, Marcus worked closely beside Thaddeus, so he knew exactly what was going on in Thaddeus' heart.“I want to go back to Fontaine Residence. The children are there. They can’t sleep if I’m not around.”Mona’s expression shifted slightly. There was a trace of worry on her face.There were at least servants in Fontaine Residence, so Thaddeus held back and did not bully her unscrupulously.If she went back to Gold Coast where there were only the two of them, she would be falling into his trap and letting him bully her.“Second Young Master always wanted to prepare a honeymoon trip for you, but something unexpected happened in France. He has no way of leaving Worchester City now, so he thought of taking you to Gold Coast. That way, you two can spend more time together.”Mona bit her lip silently and sneered in her heart. He was just making
Mona understood what Marcus was trying to say. Since she was a part of the Fontaine family, he was worried that the family would be talked about by the public if she were to join the entertainment circle. People would say that the daughter-in-law of the Fontaine family was an actress in the entertainment industry. It did not sound pleasant at all.“I was in the mood and just felt like it,” Mona replied flippantly. Marcus nodded and said, “Yes, yes. Second Young Master has already agreed, too, so I don’t think anyone is qualified to say anything else. However, I think Second Young Master is really good to you. He has always silently supported you and never wants you to be restricted. He wants you to do whatever you want.”Although they had been in France for some time, they kept up with the happenings at home. Even so, Thaddeus restrained his anger and did not vent his emotions on his wife. Rather, he made those who spread rumors and nonsense suffer.Mona may not know it, but as soon
Maria stood to the side. As someone who was very good at reading people’s expressions, she keenly noticed the melancholic look on Mona’s face and immediately understood Mona’s inner thoughts.Smiling, she went up to Mona and explained, “Second Young Master doesn’t come here very often, so it looks very cold. However, I’ve cleaned the place up and added a lot of home decor that I think you’ll like. Since you’ve decided to move in here, I’m sure the house will become very warm now that the two of you are living together.”Mona smiled at Maria and thanked her. Maria seemed good at understanding people’s hearts, and her concern made Mona feel inexplicably comfortable and at ease.“Right, let’s go up and have a look. There have been many changes compared to before.” Maria continued to take Mona to familiarize herself with the environment. She had a gentle and kind smile on her face. “Your bedroom is on the second floor, and Second Young Master’s room is the one opposite yours, so it’s ve
