Mona was dazed for some time before she understood Thaddeus’ words. However, she was also shocked. The woman looked very young and did not seem to be about Mrs. Fontaine’s age. Who knew they were of the same generation? “What year was your aunt born? She looks only about 28 years old.” Mona looked up at Thaddeus and asked in surprise. “Hahaha.” The woman who was praised could not stop laughing. She stood up and walked toward Mona. “I didn’t expect you’d be quite good at complimenting people. Well, take a closer look at my face, and guess when I was born.” Mona politely curled her lips into a smile and scanned the woman’s face carefully. Although the woman took quite good care of herself, as Mona looked closer, there were indeed many fine lines and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Those were signs of aging that could not be concealed by makeup. Even so, the woman’s physique and figure were extremely good. Mona could not help but admire her. That alone was enough to show
Joan shifted her gaze to Millie again and asked with a smile, “So, how old are you, Millie?” Millie crossed her legs. While enjoying being fed by Thaddeus, who was next to her, she wiggled four fingers at Joan. “I’m four years old this year.” Joan lowered her eyes and looked slightly upset. She mumbled softly, “If Sunny were here…” Smack.Jennifer slammed her cutleries on the table. She had kept quiet the whole time, holding back her anger from the time Joan spoke to Mona to when she talked about the children. Now that Joan brought up her deceased child, Jennifer could not stand it anymore. “Joan, can you just have your breakfast? If you can’t, you should go home.” Joan realized she had forgotten her manners. She returned to her senses and smiled embarrassedly at Jennifer. “I’ll stop talking, okay? Sis, do you have to be so angry?” “It’s just so annoying.” Jennifer glanced at the family of four sitting in a row and felt a fire burning in her heart. Thaddeus was bec
“Is Mona home?” Just after breakfast, when Mona had sent Thaddeus away, Eleanor came. She was eager to see Mona as soon as she got out of the car. Mona looked back and saw that Eleanor looked better and had a better complexion than before. “Sis, how have you been lately?” Mona welcomed Eleanor and held her hand as they walked into the villa. “I’ve been eating the medicine you prescribed. The effects are getting better day by day. I was able to sleep through the whole of last night and didn’t have that nightmare, so I hurried over to find you. Please take my pulse and check my condition.” After hearing that, Mona quickly asked Eleanor to sit down. She held her wrist to carefully feel her pulse. Indeed, Eleanor’s pulse was no longer as chaotic as it was a while ago. It seemed like the medicine was working. “Sis, sit down first while I write you a new prescription. I’ll add two more herbs to stabilize your condition.” “Okay.” Eleanor sighed a breath of relief. She picked
“Something about my secret!” Bobby answered. Mona narrowed her eyes. “Secret? What is it? You’re being so mysterious.” A charming smile that resembled Thaddeus’ could be seen on Bobby’s face. “Don’t get up to no good, okay?” Mona warned him. “I’m very reliable, okay?” Bobby looked serious. “It’s not anything bad, so don’t worry.” The little handsome body’s eyes were bright and shining with a nice glow. ‘For all I know, it could be a good thing,’ he thought to himself. Bobby had plucked Mona’s hair and posted it to the paternity testing lab to obtain his mother’s DNA. Next, he would go to the police station and get them to help find a DNA match from their DNA matching system. That way, Mona would soon be able to find her relatives. Bobby touched his chin and felt that he was doing something great. He thought that his mother would be especially happy to find her biological parents! Mona caressed Bobby’s head. She knew he had a sense of propriety and would not act rashly
The incident of Eleanor’s suicide attempt shocked everyone in the living room except for Thaddeus and Jennifer. Mona even noticed a faint glimpse of unexpected calmness on Jennifer’s face. She subconsciously sensed that Jennifer was aware of the hidden agenda. In fact, she was even more like the mastermind behind this, silently observing everything that was happening from the dark. Thaddeus glanced at Victor and then looked at Joan. He asked coldly, “Aunt Joan, what’s going on?” Joan was wronged. She had stayed at the Fontaines’ and did not do anything at all. In the morning, she did not mind that Eleanor reacted as if she saw a ghost when she saw her. Joan only thought that Eleanor went crazy. After all, she had never seen Eleanor normal in all the years she was there. However, tonight, Eleanor’s son and daughter-in-law wanted to send her to the police station as though she were a murderer. She had never suffered such aggravation in her life! Joan walked to Thaddeus' sid
“Did you say I’m crazy?” Isabel was like a raging cat. She and Mona had always been incompatible, so how could she stand being oppressed by Mona? “My husband’s heart has been stolen. Am I not allowed to be mad?” Mona looked indifferent. “You’re incompetent to have not kept an eye on your husband.” “Yes, and you, on the other hand, are truly capable.” Isabel sneered. “You’re hooking up with another man in front of your husband, yet he doesn’t want to control you.” Mona kept quiet because what Isabel said was true. She turned around and walked upstairs. Did this mess have anything to do with her? Why was she burned in the end? “Coward. I was right, wasn’t I? Hahaha.” Isabel looked at Mona from behind and laughed loudly. Nevertheless, her laugh did not last for long before she was deterred by Thaddeus’ murderous and cruel glare. Even if Thaddeus did not say anything, his sharp look could kill people. Isabel’s back broke out in a cold sweat, and she had goosebumps. She was ab
The farce ended with Isabel calling for an ambulance for her and Victor to go to the hospital. Bobby and Millie were guided back to their rooms by the maid with their eyes covered. Thaddeus and Mona were very in sync in this regard where they would not let their children come into contact with the grudges of the rich and powerful families. Flowers that grew up in the shadow were destined to be deformed. Thaddeus’ dual personality was one of the examples. With that, the Fontaine Residence’s living room returned to silence. Jennifer and Joan sat on the sofa and looked at each other, confirming that they were thinking about the same thing at the moment. “Joan, do you think that Eleanor broke down when she saw you today because of the incident with Sunny five years ago?” Jennifer took a nail file to file her nails as she asked casually. Joan looked sorrowful the moment Sunny was brought up. She thought about her poor daughter, who would have been so precious to her if she were stil
“A-choo, a-choo…” In the bedroom, Mona, who was scolded and called a b*tch by Jennifer downstairs, sneezed several times in a row. She took a tissue and wiped her nose, and then she plopped down on the bed and crossed her legs as she flipped through an album. What happened tonight was too painful to think about. She wanted to live well and focus on things that concern herself and her children. She would not waste even a second of time on things that would consume her energy. A sound was heard coming from the bedroom door as Thaddeus pushed the door open. Mona turned to look and shifted her gaze from his gloomy face to his blood-stained hand. Mona frowned and propped herself up to get off the bed. She approached him and asked, “What happened to your hand? Did you get into a fight?” “This is the second time.” Thaddeus was expressionless. “What second time?” Mona was bewildered. “I’ll get the first aid kid to treat your wound.” As soon as she took a step, Thaddeus tugged a
