Mona saw her daughter and knew she felt aggrieved. Her daughter was usually very sensible and obedient. However, her father Thaddeus had become a stranger, and Millie naturally felt it. Although she was very well-behaved these days, Mona knew the child had just been holding it in.Now, she found an outlet to cry and pour out all her accumulated grievances and disappointment.Thaddeus saw the woman not care at all. His heart felt like a mess when the little girl sobbed.“Heartless woman,” Thaddeus grumbled at Mona and bent down to pick Millie up.However, he did not even know how to hold a child. He picked Millie up by her shirt like he was carrying a kitten, then held her in his arms.Millie grabbed Thaddeus’ shirt and clutched his crystal cufflinks tightly. She found a sense of security in her daddy’s strong arms and instantly stopped crying. Her little body twitched and curled up into a ball, falling asleep in the man’s arms.Thaddeus lowered his head. It was the first time he
“What is it?”“I have a question. If Mommy wanted to divorce Daddy, would you be okay with that?”Mona had always been straightforward with Bobby and told him everything. Bobby’s mind was very mature. He could even give comprehensive thoughts for her to think over.Bobby frowned. “Divorce again?”In Bobby’s view, it was like two children playing house. Marriage was just a game that could start and end at will.He was very tired having a pair of parents like that.“What’s that look for?” Mona saw Bobby looking at her like she was a fool. She pouted and said, “It’s serious this time. After all, I’ve been abandoned again.”They were married twice, but it was Thaddeus who brought up divorce both times. Mona was really helpless. However, she had money now, so divorce would not be a bad thing to her and her children. Except for the fact that the children would lose their father, everything else worked in their favor.Bobby put on a straight face and thought it over seriously. Finally
Mona looked at the time. It was already past 1 pm. She had slept until noon and even had to go through a farce, so her stomach was hungry.Just as she was about to have lunch, the maid who took care of the woman upstairs ran down and reported, “Madam, that woman upstairs isn’t eating. She said she wants to see you and has something to say.”Mona looked at the guest room upstairs and nodded at the maid. “Alright. You can bring my lunch to the guest room as well.”“Yes.”Mona went upstairs. The door of the guest room was half open, and she saw the woman in the room sitting silently at the table. When she saw Mona, she abruptly stood up and welcomed her at the door.“Susan, you’re here. I have something to say to you.”Mona looked at the smile on the woman’s face and froze. This was the first time she saw the woman smiling so happily.“I heard you weren’t eating and wanted to talk to me. I haven’t eaten, either, so let’s have lunch while we chat.”“Sure!” The woman moved a chair,
Mona stopped eating, and her hand held the spoon in the air. She did not know how to respond.She smiled derisively and put some food on the woman’s plate. “Hurry and eat. Your food is getting cold.”The woman nodded heavily. “Okay! Let’s eat. I’ll go and visit Thaddeus after. I want him to see how good I look now. He’ll definitely be happy.”Mona looked at the woman’s expectant expression and slowly chewed the food in her mouth. She swallowed the tasteless food as a bad premonition gradually rose in her heart.“Sweetie,” Mona put down her spoon and looked at the woman solemnly. “Physical appearance is certainly important, but if you want the attraction between you guys to last, you need to rely on your inner attraction. Wisdom and EQ are needed to maintain a relationship, and physical appearance is just a stepping stone. I hope you can calm down and not expect too much about your relationship with Thaddeus.”The woman froze and did not react to Mona’s words for a long time.“Suz
“Mommy? You’re the child’s mother?”Mona held Millie and patted her on the back, gently comforting her while ignoring the woman.The woman suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter sounded like it was from a horror film, piercing and terrifying. Her body swayed and staggered toward Mona as if she wanted to eat Mona up.Mona noticed the danger and stepped back while holding Millie. The woman sped up and lunged fiercely toward the mother and child.Holding the child, Mona was frightened by the aggressive woman. She backed up and knocked into the corner of the guardrail. Just as she thought she was about to fall with Millie, a large hand steadily wrapped around her waist, embracing her and the child in their arms.The woman was subdued by the security guards, who dragged her out of the Fontaines’ residence and threw her out. The entire episode lasted only three minutes.Thaddeus picked Millie up from Mona’s arms and checked on her anxiously. Then, he asked Mona, “Are you hurt?”“J
When Ms. Kimball and her mother came to the Fontaines’ residence for dinner in the evening, Mona was naturally not present. After the two children finished their afternoon studies, she drove one of the luxury cars in the garage and took the children out to find Linda and play.“I can’t believe that evil mother-in-law of yours really brought another woman home. Isn’t she jumping the gun? You and Thaddeus haven’t separated yet, but she’s so anxious. It’s clear that she doesn’t respect you.”Linda held the steering wheel of the luxury car and drove unimpeded on the road. There were only three such cars in the whole of Worchester, thus the other cars on the road naturally avoided them. However, the two women seemed to be unaware of this matter and just assumed that the traffic conditions that night were great.“Do you really think that’s just Jessica’s plan? If Thaddeus opposed, would Jessica have invited Ms. Kimball into the house without permission?”Mona propped her hand on her fore
Thaddeus raised his brows and narrowed his eyes at Ginny, curling his lips in a smile. “Naturally, the children my wife carried for me won’t be bad.”Ginny covered her mouth and laughed softly. “Of course. Mr. Fontaine, you’re a man who’s close to perfection. Naturally, you must pass on your perfect genes. Mrs. Fontaine is a popular star in the entertainment circle. I watched her new drama. Her performance was stellar, and I have nothing more to say about just how beautiful she is. You two are truly a strong and compatible couple.”The man’s eyes were deep, and his face was shrouded in a layer of mystery and distance that made it difficult to guess his thoughts.He secretly looked at Ginny. Just with that simple back-and-forth, he could see how sophisticated and high her EQ was.The man smiled and said nothing. He peeked down at his phone. That woman Mona did not take his words to heart at all. He told her to get ready at home, but she took the children out to play and disappeared
Beep, beep, beep... The cold mechanical sound of the phone hanging up revealed that the man was angry. The assistant looked at the woman who was calm and relaxed in the playground and could not help but admire her.This woman was really brave. She was able to make Mr. Fontaine angry. Awesome!“Hey, are you really not afraid of Thaddus getting angry? He got such a large entourage to escort you back.”Linda nudged Mona’s arm, inwardly worried about the latter. She was afraid that Mona would suffer after going back if she offended Thaddeus now.Mona shook her beverage and pouted slightly. “It’s my freedom whether or not I go back or when I do. Why should I let him control me? Besides, he’s having dinner with Ms. Kimball at home. If I showed up with my children, won’t we be an eyesore?”Linda gave Mona a thumbs-up, admiring how carefree the latter was. She felt happy for Mona.She had been around since Mona was in high school, and at Mona’s darkest period during her amnesia and div
