One should not think that Thaddeus did not see through Mona’s little trick. It was just a bitter trick by her to sow discord between him and his mother. Thaddeus was in a good mood, so he beat Mona to her game by playing along and even reprimanding his mother. Mona had been feeling resentful about what happened to Bobby, after all, thus he took this as a way to let her vent her anger. Mona turned around with a slightly delighted glimmer in her eyes. Did Thaddeus think that her trick was only meant to sow discord between him and his mother? If that was the case, Thaddeus had truly underestimated her abilities. Nevertheless, this also meant that her acting was so excellent that it escaped his detection. Thaddeus saw her turning her perky and reddish small face to the side and thought that perhaps she was shy. When he thought about the scene earlier, he did not even realize that his lips had curled up into a smile. His face instantly turned stony when he realized that he was still p
Mona watched Millie cry. Millie’s sobs were like a knife stabbing her heart, hurting her so much that her eyes became teary too. Millie lifted her small face and wiped her eyes with her little hand. She said sweetly, “Mommy, Daddy didn’t carry me today, but I behaved well and didn’t throw a tantrum.” The child was so understanding that it was heart-wrenching. Mona found it difficult to bear, so she held Millie’s face and lowered her head to kiss her daughter’s red face. “Good girl. You’ve grown up, Millie. I love you so, so much.” Millie buried herself in Mona’s arms. She felt the warmest and happiest in her mother’s embrace. Mona softly patted Millie’s back with her hand gently, but her heart still ached for the little girl. Thaddeus had no feelings for the two children at the moment, so there was no point in hoping that he would take up his responsibility as a father. It would not be beneficial at all if he won custody of the children. Outside the door, Thaddeus stood in pl
Jennifer had heard of the scandal between Tim and Mona as it was trending news before this. ‘A vixen is a vixen, after all. She seduces people wherever she goes, just like her d*mned mother.’ “Who are you?” Thaddeus looked coldly at Tim and sized him up. Tim was a stranger to him as he had never seen him before. “Son, are you alright?” Jennifer went up to Thaddeus’ side and reminded him softly, “This is Tim, the heir of Graves & Co.” “Graves & Co? The ones who run a hotel?” “Yes.” Jennifer looked at Thaddeus and felt somewhat worried. Her son seemed to have forgotten many people and things, and his memory was also muddled. “Uncle Dave brought him along during our family’s anniversary party.” Thaddeus nodded and asked again, “What’s his relationship with Mona?” Jennifer hit his back and sounded panicky as she answered, “Silly, he came to tell you that he wants to marry your wife, yet you’re asking what their relationship is!” Thaddeus scoffed and looked disdainfully at Tim
Mona walked downstairs quickly and stood on Tim’s side. She tugged at his sleeve and looked up to ask, “Why are you here?” “I heard about what happened at the cemetery and was worried about Bobby, so I came to take a look and brought some children’s medicine along.” “He has a slight fever and is still sleeping. Thanks for your concern and for delivering the medicine over.” Mona was truly moved. Tim was an affectionate and responsible man who was also a good friend worthy of a close friendship. Thaddeus watched the interaction between Mona and Tim in front of him. There was an unusual change to his calmness and indifference. He could not describe the discomfort, but it was definitely not jealousy. His second personality was probably not completely exterminated and was eager to surface. Nonetheless, Mona was still the missus of the Fontaines. Since she was being intimate with another man in front of Thaddeus, she was simply disregarding him as her husband. The consequence
“Mommy, why do I find that Daddy is behaving so strangely today?” Bobby touched his chin and looked at Thaddeus from afar, pondering carefully. Mona’s eyes flickered slightly, and she looked somewhat dejected. How should she explain to her children that their daddy now was only a stranger to them? Furthermore, he was a scum who would soon go to court with her for their custody. “Let’s not worry about him first.” Mona turned Bobby by his shoulders and carefully scanned him from head to toe. She was only at ease after confirming that there were no repercussions. Seeing how anxious Mona was, Thaddeus said calmly, “I bought insurance for the children, and you’re the beneficiary. My assistant will bring the contracts over later for you to sign them.” Mona was quite shocked. Thaddeus turned out to be quite thoughtful… After Mona left the children’s room, Thaddeus’ assistant handed two insurance policies to her. “Ms. Ortega, please sign them.” Mona smiled and accepted the polici
Thaddeus was silent for a moment before he recalled. “Alex Ortega’s sister?” “Yes, yes, her,” his assistant responded. “Why is she at Dragon’s Bay? How did she get involved with that piece of trash?” Thaddeus was disdainful toward the things done by his second personality. He contemplated playing with people’s feelings the most. Instead of wasting time and energy, it was better to focus on his career. “I’m not an Ortega and have nothing to do with her. Is there a reason I must go?” Thaddeus did not want to go. He refused it directly. “Call Alex, her brother.” His assistant opened a folder to take out some information and handed it to him. “You should take a look at this first.” The information included the details of this matter. After reading it, Thaddeus felt troubled. It seemed it was the responsibility of his second personality, who should have made arrangements for the girl since things happened. The only thing was that the weakling seemed to have left a love debt
Thaddeus arrived at Dragon’s Bay. As it was a high-class area located in the city center, the main type of housing there was apartments with one unit per floor. In the bedroom, a woman wearing plain loungewear was throwing a tantrum. There were two maids inside. One carried lunch while the other held a medicine bottle. The two were painstakingly persuading the woman to eat and take her medicine. “I want to see Thaddeus. He hasn’t been coming to see me and doesn’t call me these days. I’m very angry!” The woman put her hands on her waist and pouted. She looked like a wilful and unruly little princess. Her two maids knew that while she was almost thirty years old, she was mentally still in college due to her mental illness. They were used to seeing how she acted like a little girl. It was especially when Thaddeus’ name was mentioned that the woman’s eyes would shine. She would look as shy as when she saw her crush when her love was first awakened. It was evident the woman trul
Alex loosened the tie that was hanging around his neck and let out a long breath. “My sister can’t live alone. With her mentally ill and you on a business trip in Swertland, she’ll think about committing suicide any time.” Thaddeus rubbed the spot between his eyebrows and exhaled helplessly. “Are you asking me to tie her to me and bring her to Swertland too?” Alex’s eyes flickered. “That sounds like a good plan.” Thaddeus lifted his hand and knocked his forehead. “Can’t you tell I was being sarcastic?” Alex was slightly dejected. He truly felt troubled. “What should we do then? It’s not the right time to bring her back home.” “Why?” “My mom is having a heart bypass surgery soon. If she sees that my sister has come back from the dead and is now different, I’m afraid she won’t be able to have the surgery.” “Isn’t Raymond very idle lately?” Thaddeus asked casually and suggested, “Leave your sister at his place. The two of them can keep each other company.” “Raymond is an
