Thaddeus narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Mona. To be honest, he could not understand what she was thinking.“What if I refuse?”“Then we won’t get divorced.”Mona looked like she did not desire or fear anything.She was fine with letting it be. In any case, she was not the one anxious to get a divorce.Thaddeus raised the wine glass. His desire to conquer was suddenly ignited by Mona. He really wanted to press the woman on the bed...After all, he was a man with needs that needed to be fulfilled.“Don’t act coy. Are you just playing hard to get because you don’t want a divorce?”“Haha. You can think however you want, Mr. Fontaine. I told you. Either we get divorced, and the custody of the kids belongs to me, or we don’t. You can only pick one.”Mona had learned from Thaddeus’ usual overbearing tone and appearance. She was even able to understand his arrogant gaze and aura.“Woman.” Thaddeus walked up to Mona. His powerful aura oppressed her as he lifted her chin, for
Mona straightened her clothes messed up by the man before looking sideways at Thaddeus’ restrained face.Men were lustful creatures, but his forbearance was quite strong.Since olden times, men could rarely escape their lust. In the end, it was the women who suffered. If men could suppress their instincts, they would be invincible.“Why don’t I call some ladies for you, Mr. Fontaine?”Mona took out her phone and searched online for several luxurious and high-end clubs. Sexy and coquettish women of all kinds popped up on the page.She lifted her eyes and looked at the man’s slightly surprised face, smiling, “My treat.”Thaddeus’ expression was so dark that it was shrouded in a gloomy haze. He looked like someone owed him a billion dollars.“Oh, since you’re not interested, forget it.” Mona saw his face and retreated. “I won’t disturb your rest. Good night.”Then, she turned and left to rest in a guest room for the night.“Where are you going?” Thaddeus was furious. The urge in
Mona’s heart filled with anger. She glared at Thaddeus with cold eyes and said firmly, word for word, “Thaddeus Fontaine, it’s fine if I can’t get your pity, love, or even my status as your wife. However, I want your respect!”Thaddeus paused and looked at Mona meaningfully. Even his expression became incredulous.Mona did not know why, but a sour feeling entered her nose. She pushed the man’s shoulder, and Thaddeus stumbled back before standing firm.As he looked at the woman, the dismay in his gaze disappeared and returned to calmness.“You don’t need to sleep in the guest room. I’ll spend the night elsewhere.”He picked up his suit jacket from the bed, slung it over his shoulder, and slammed the door.Mona’s shoulders trembled at the sound of the door closing. It was only until she heard the sound of the car’s engine downstairs that she leaned against the wall. Her body slid down as she sat on the floor.It was as if she had won a hard-earned victory. She was exhausted, but h
The man walked to the driver’s seat and got his cell phone out through the window. Mona’s name flashed on the screen.He answered the call. “What?”The man’s tone was arrogant, thinking Mona had called to ask him to come home.However, Mona’s voice on the other end of the phone was sensible and calm. “I’m with the traffic police now, paying your fine.”The man frowned. “It’s late. What are you doing outside?”“You were speeding.”The man sighed. “I’ll go over to you now.”Thaddeus drove to the traffic police station. Mona lay on the bench in the hall, so tired that she fell asleep.The man walked over and squatted down, intending to wake her. However, he could not bear to disturb her. He took off his jacket and covered her body.He originally wanted to carry her home, but Mona slept lightly and jolted awake at his touch.She rubbed her drowsy eyes and saw the man she was unlucky enough to have as her husband.“If you’re awake, then walk by yourself. Go home.” Thaddeus lifted
Thaddeus pressed her back and took her into his arms. He bent his head and said in her ear, “How about we don’t get divorced?”Mona stayed still in the man’s arms, motionless like a wooden puppet.When the man saw that she did not respond, he laughed wickedly.Mona took a step back and raised her eyes to meet the man’s dark gaze. Her eyes were calm as water with no ripples.On the other hand, Thaddeus’ handsome face was covered with an elusive fog.Mona could not speak. She did not know how to answer.“Why? Do you really want a divorce?” The man raised his hand and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. The action seemed very casual. “Can you really bear to?”Mona slapped the man’s hand away. For some reason, she could hear a hint of sarcasm and contempt in his tone.The man curled his lips and said, “Don’t you want respect? Isn’t the identity of Mrs. Fontaine, the status the Fontaines gave you, respectful enough?”Mona finally understood the man’s meaning. Saying they would no
Thaddeus subconsciously reached out and pulled Mona behind him. “Don’t be scared.”“Aaahhh! Susan, you liar! You seduced Thaddeus! I’ll kill you!”The woman rushed out from the darkness holding a shiny knife in her hand. She charged down from the upper floor and lunged at Mona with scarlet eyes.Thaddeus acted quickly and stepped in front of the woman with his long legs. He snatched the knife out of her hand, grabbed the woman’s throat, and pushed her against the wall without mercy. He tightened his grip around her throat and warned, “If you’re going to act crazy, then get lost.”Unbridled shock and astonishment flashed through the woman’s eyes, then instantly filled with disappointment. A desperate roar bubbled from her throat as large teardrops fell from the corners of her eyes and splattered on Thaddeus’ hand.The look of despair was as if she was a ghost suffering in purgatory.What did she do wrong? She was just caught up in a love she could not escape. The mire of her obses
“How can I believe you?” The woman had doubts in her heart. She clearly saw the two come home together in the middle of the night, and Thaddeus even put his hand on her hair!It was such an intimate action. How could it be something that a master did to his subordinate?Mona thought about it and said, “How about you sleep with him tonight?”The woman froze and thought for a moment. She seemed to understand the meaning behind Mona’s words.No wife would be generous enough to let her husband sleep with another woman. Since Mona said that, it meant she did not care about Thaddeus. Perhaps it proved that they indeed did not have the relationship like the woman suspected.“Okay! I’ll sleep with Thaddeus tonight!”A smile suddenly blossomed on the woman’s face, and the suspicions in her heart were instantly replaced by the excitement of sleeping with Thaddeus.Thaddeus looked at Mona in surprise. How could this stupid woman give up her own husband? She was quite generous to kick him a
Mona saw the man stalk toward her angrily and stuck out her tongue. She pulled the woman and ran to the guest room where the latter stayed.It was better to avoid unnecessary troubles. Thaddeus was so narrow-minded. All it took was a few words about him to get angry and wanted to settle the score with her. What kind of man was that petty?Mona was now able to see the man’s nature clearly, so she did not feel afraid. That man admired and worshiped by tens of thousands was not that amazing, after all.“Suzy, why doesn’t Thaddeus want to sleep with me?”The woman sat on the bed with a pillow in her arms and a conflicted face. She looked like a little child.Mona suddenly felt tired.When would the woman accept the fact that Thaddeus did not love her at all?Sitting on the bed, she was not as good-natured as she used to be. She knew going along with the woman weakly would only be counterproductive.While she could use her medical skills to treat the woman, that was limited to her p
