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
At 7 pm sharp, Thaddeus returned. The lights in the living room were on, and the smell of home-cooked food wafted under his nose. The long-lost feeling of warmth was something he had not experienced in a long time. When he thought of there being a woman waiting for him to come home, his heart filled with a sense of belonging and security.He took off his coat, threw it at Maria, and looked around the villa, trying to find the figure he wanted to see.“Where’s Mona?”Maria pointed outside the living room and said softly with a smile, “She’s playing outside.”Thaddeus nodded and raised his long legs to walk to the back of the living room. He opened the door and stood behind her.He watched as her long and wavy locks blew in the wind. Her back looked thin in front of the magnificent seascape, and she looked quiet and lonely.The scene in front of him made the man mesmerized. His heart pricked as if it was being pierced by a needle.He loved this woman dearly. Because of his heartac
Walking back to the living room, Maria hurriedly brought shoes and socks for Mona to put on. “Madam, your habit of going around barefooted isn’t good. What if you keep that habit and catch a cold when you get pregnant?”At the mention of pregnancy, the look on Mona’s face instantly turned gloomy.Maria looked up and saw the change of expression on Mona’s face. She immediately realized she had said something wrong. Although she did not know the reason, it might be a sore topic for Mona. Maria was chagrined but quickly smiled, saying, “Well, the madam is still a child herself. There’s no need for another child. Besides, you already have a pair of beautiful twins. It’s a complete family.”Mona pursed her lips. To be honest, she liked people like Maria. She felt some kind of invisible force from her. Maria had experienced the vicissitudes of light but could still remain humble. That calm and peacefulness was most likely accumulated by her life experience. It was something a person might
Mona concentrated on the script, unaware that Thaddeus was by her side. The man was drinking wine casually while the woman was reading the script; the man with the glass of wine concentrated on looking at the woman. Sometime later, Mona finally finished the script from start to finish. She closed it and sighed a breath of relief. Mona stretched after she was done, and when she looked up, she saw Thaddeus in front of her. Startled, she had no idea the man had been standing in front of her for so long. “You’re not going to rest?” Mona asked. “I have time.” Thaddeus swirled the glass of wine in his hand and took a sip. He then asked, “You like the script?” Mona held the script tightly as if it was her baby. She nodded and said, “It’s good.” Thaddeus' lips curled into a charming smile. The man lowered his slender body and put the glass of wine on the table. As he leaned forward, Mona felt a massive shadow looming above her. It felt pressuring. She straightened her bod
