“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
Mona said angrily, “Don’t talk nonsense. There’s nothing between Victor and me! On the contrary, you keep thinking badly of people because you’re dirty at heart!” The displeasure on Thaddeus’ face went away a little. Seeing how agitated and mad Mona was meant that she had nothing to hide. Getting angry from being slandered was the most normal reaction, after all. “I somewhat believe you.” Thaddeus squinted his eyes. Honestly, he trusted that Mona would not do anything that was out of line, but Victor’s identity as her first love was truly upsetting. Mona forced an ugly smile on her face. ‘Does he hear himself? Is he expecting me to thank him?’ She could not be bothered arguing back and forth with Thaddeus. She walked to the bedside and began to make the bed. “Mr. Fontaine, it’s getting late. Get some rest.” Thaddeus stood in place. For some reason, he did not want to leave. Mona had just made her bed. She glanced back at Thaddeus, who was still standing at the door as i
Mona turned off the lights in the children’s room and left the room. Before long, Bobby opened his eyes. After looking at Millie’s bed and confirming that she was asleep, Bobby lifted his blanket and got out of bed. He opened his laptop and entered the science community’s webpage. Afterward, he clicked on Mr. Q’s dialog box and noticed that he was online. Bobby was secretly overjoyed. He did not expect Mr. Q to be quite trustworthy such that he would still wait for him at this hour. While touching his chin, Bobby recalled Mr. Q’s promise to help his mother find her parents. He was dubious about it. Speaking of which, this was quite a coincidence. Bobby often browsed the online science community, and not everyone was eligible to become a member. Similar to a restaurant’s membership system, one needed to have certain achievements and qualifications to be eligible. As the youngest member of the community, Bobby was able to enter with his 13 patented inventions. This was consid
Bobby did not realize why Mr. Q suddenly asked if his mom had someone she liked. “Ah, it’s a pity that Mommy is married to Daddy. Otherwise, it’d probably also be a good thing if Mr. Q is my daddy,” Bobby muttered to himself. He closed his laptop and climbed onto his bed. After covering himself with the blanket, he supported his head with both arms behind him and exhaled contentedly. ‘I believe that with Mr. Q’s help, Mommy will be able to find her family. How good will it be? Mommy should also be a child with someone backing her.’ * It was a busy morning. Mona settled the children in their room for them to start their external lessons, while she planned to go out to a bakery downtown to order a custom birthday cake for Thaddeus. She had just walked out of the villa toward the parking lot when she was blocked by two pastors in robes. Mona was alert as she glanced at the two pastors and found it strange. The Fontaine Residence’s access control system was strict. The two st
Without thinking, it was clear that after a few more years of experience, Tim would become another young legend in the business world similar to Thaddeus. “Did you come to the bakery to buy a cake?” Tim asked Mona. “Mm, Thaddeus’ birthday is around the corner. I came to order a cake for him.” Tim nodded. “I see.” Deep down, a feeling of loss arose. Just a while ago, he heard that Mona and Thaddeus were about to get a divorce. Now, she was buying his birthday cake. It seemed that there was a change in their relationship. With that, Tim’s chances became much slimmer again. Even so, he was no longer the impulsive and reckless young man who would charge forward for love. He could only suppress his emotions for Mona for the time being. There was plenty of time in the future, so he would think about it again when he had an opportunity… “You’ve been very busy lately, haven’t you? You lost a lot of weight but have also become capable.” Mona was not stingy with her praises. To h
Tim nodded and calmly put more food into Mona’s bowl. “Eat more.” After lunch, Mona and Tim went to a jewelry counter. Mona found a niche French brand of custom jewelry. She stood in front of the counter and scanned the bracelets and necklaces in the cabinet. She was a jewelry connoisseur herself, so she knew the goods. She quickly settled on the most beautiful one among the dazzling bracelets. “Please take this one out for me to see.” “Miss, you have a good eye. This bracelet is our designer’s featured collection and is also the most expensive one.” Mona smiled at the salesperson and looked down at the bracelet in her hand, rubbing the diamond embedded into it. The bracelet was finely crafted to every detail. In particular, the diamond was of the rarest variety. “Then, I’ll take this. I’ll swipe my card.” Tim never moved his gaze away from Mona’s face. He kept observing every slight expression on her face. When he saw the light in her eyes, he unconsciously felt happy.
