“I was just asking. You don’t have to answer.”Daddy did not love Bobby. That was what Bobby concluded.Thaddeus looked at Bobby with a heavy gaze and said nothing. His expression was so deep and complex that Bobby could not read it.Bobby hung his head and was dejected for a while. When Thaddeus carried him to the car and placed him in the children’s seat, he looked at the majestic figure sitting in the driver’s seat and had an epiphany.“Boys don’t need love. It’s enough if I love Mommy and Millie.”Thaddeus did not turn around. He was silent for a few minutes before starting the car, and simply said, “Good that you know.”Bobby pursed his beautiful lips. Joy ignited in his heart after receiving the man’s affirmation.“Bobby, I want cookies.”Bobby’s thoughts were pulled back by the packet of Koala’s March cookies in front of him. Millie waved the cookies in her hand, her large eyes sparkling as she spoke.Bobby smiled, took the packet, and tore it open for her.“Thank you,
Mona was instantly speechless, but she did not get angry. Jennifer did not like her and was used to blaming her indiscriminately. She did not expect to hear anything nice from Jennifer.“Please come in, Ms. Kimball. Thank you for bringing a gift to my mom.” Mona smiled politely. She would naturally do what the lady in charge of the Fontaine Residence should do.Ginny nodded at Mona and thanked her before pulling Jennifer’s hand. “Auntie, you’ve misunderstood. Mrs. Fontaine wasn’t making things hard for me. She welcomed me at the door and said that I shouldn’t have gone through the trouble of bringing these here. You blamed the wrong person.”Jennifer glanced at Mona disdainfully. “In that case, go in.”Ginny covered her mouth and smiled. “That’s why you shouldn’t be angry with Mrs. Fontaine, or I’ll be uneasy that I made the trip here.”“Of course not. I like you very much and want you to be here. You’re always welcome at the Fontaines’. Don’t just stand outside. Come in with me.”
Thaddeus thought that the woman was jealous. Her indifference was her trying to get his attention by throwing a temper.What a troublesome creature. If she really cared about him, then just say so. Why did she want him to guess her mind? Ugh, women.Just as Thaddeus raised his hand to knock on the door, Jennifer came.“Thaddeus, Ginny is here. Aren’t you going down to see her?”Thaddeus turned around and looked at his mother in exasperation. He knew what she was thinking and already expressed his attitude, but her forcefulness had not changed at all.“I know you don’t want to come down, but you can’t disrespect the Kimballs. After all, Ginny is their little princess. I’m afraid they’ll be unhappy if you don’t see her.”Thaddeus let out a sigh, feeling annoyed.“Enough. I’ll go, okay?” Thaddeus spoke in a sullen voice. He put his hands into his pocket and went downstairs.Ginny was sitting in the living room. When Thaddeus appeared, she stood up and nodded with a smile. “Hello,
Ginny got into an accident while riding in the Fontaine family’s car. This incident made the Fontaine and Kimball families meet in the hospital. Ginny’s father, Tony, loved his daughter more than life itself. She only went to Fontaine Residence for a visit but ended up with a dozen stitches on her head. How could he not feel heartbroken and angry?“Thaddeus, what the hell happened?”Tony sat on the high-end leather sofa in the hospital’s VIP suite and questioned Thaddeus seriously.“Ms. Kimball’s accident was caused by an elderly couple who ran the red light. The driver braked urgently, causing Ginny to bump her head. I’m sorry for this incident, Uncle Tony. I’ll take full responsibility and compensate for it.”Thaddeus’ legs were folded, and his tone was calm and relaxed. It was as if he was conducting a business negotiation.“Compensation?” Tony was dissatisfied with how Thaddeus was downplaying the situation. He originally intended to join their two families by marriage, but Th
Tony took the doctor in charge of the operation outside the ward and quickly asked, “Doctor, will there be a scar on my doctor’s face?”The doctor said regretfully, “I’m sorry, Mr. Kimball. We tried our best, but because the driver hit the brakes too sharply, the wound was stabbed by a shard of glass. It’s equivalent to being scratched by a knife. There will definitely be a scar left behind. Now, the only thing we can do now is find ways to remedy and repair it so it looks less conspicuous.”Tony’s expression was grim. In his view, it did not matter whether or not his little princess had a scar. However, his daughter loved beauty so much that it was not an exaggeration to say it was her life. She could not even handle being bitten by a mosquito, let alone have a scar.“You have to think of a way. You must heal her at all costs.”Tony looked into the ward, his face full of sorrow and heartache. He took out his phone and used his contacts both local and abroad to help treat his daugh
Mona thought she came at a bad time, especially when she saw Tony firmly supporting his daughter. She was afraid she would become his punching bag.After all, there was no one to support her. So it was better not to get involved.She turned to leave, but Thaddeus chased after her.“What are you doing here?” The man glanced at the cup filled with medicine in her hand and frowned slightly.“Your mother told me to see Ms. Kimball and give her medicine.” Mona handed the cup to the man. “It was your mother who asked me to prepare this for Ms. Kimball too.”“Did you come up with the formula yourself?” Thaddeus did not take the cup. “Don’t take it to the ward. Throw it away.”Mona froze. Then, she withdrew her hand and looked at the cup, smiling wryly.“Why? Are you afraid I’ll poison Ms. Kimball?” Mona said coldly, “It was your mother who asked me to make this medicine. She was fine with it, but you’re suspicious of me?”Thaddeus’ attitude was very firm. “Take it back and go home.”
Ginny smiled ruefully. It was a smile filled with self-deprecation and disappointment, and its coldness pierced Thaddeus’ eyes.“I admit I have favorable feelings for you, Mr. Fontaine. However, right now, my image of you has greatly worsened. I’m really disappointed in you. My family and I are sensible people. In the conversation between you and my father earlier, what I saw was not your sincerity but your evasion and impatience. Since I pressured you, then please go. Leave and never disturb my life again.”Thaddeus frowned. “Do you agree with your father’s point of view?”Did she also want him to divorce his wife at home, abandon his children, and marry her all for compensation?That was too absurd.“No matter my father’s viewpoint, it doesn’t change the fact that you don’t want to be responsible for me.”Ginny pointed to her head. “Do you know what a scar means to a woman? This is tantamount to disfigurement. Noble families always pay attention to people’s appearances. If I’m
Faced with Ginny’s forcefulness, Thaddeus finally compromised.It was a fact that he owed this woman, so he could not decisively refuse and stay away. His morals did not allow him to do so.However, there were still boundaries that had to be maintained.“Fine. Since you only want three requests, that’s what we’ll do.” Thaddeus put his hands into his pockets and took two steps back to distance himself from Ginny.“Remember, you have to fulfill the requests anytime and anywhere,” Ginny stressed.“Yes.” Thaddeus’s attitude was very dull. “Do you need it in black and white?”“No. I know your character very well. You’re a man who keeps his word.”Ginny’s eyes were determined. She looked at Thaddeus with admiration.After calming down, she felt she was lucky. She was glad this car accident forged a deeper link between her and this man.Thaddeus saw the light and heat in Ginny’s eyes and looked away, avoiding the woman’s gaze.He naturally knew Ginny’s affection for him. That was wh
