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
The accident happened because the driver slammed the brakes too urgently, but her wound was caused by her carefully knocking herself on that glass point.After she left the Fontaine family, she knew that Thaddeus had no interest in her, so she tried her best to distance herself. Rather than doing nothing, it was better to create a chance.Ginny felt that it was worth getting a scar on her forehead in exchange for three requests from the man.Using these three requests, she would make the man fall step by step. She had plenty of confidence.“What should we do next?” Tony sat down. “What did Thaddeus say to you?”“I told him to grant three of my requests.”“That’s it?” Tony felt it was a waste. “Why didn’t you take the opportunity to ask him for more? A man’s heart is where his money is invested. Why didn’t you let him spend more money on you?”“Dad, do you think Thaddeus is a man who cares about money?” Ginny put down her phone and smiled coldly. “No matter how much money he give
Mona opened the door to find the man standing there. When she thought about his attitude toward her in the hospital, she could not bring herself to smile at him.She looked at him coldly and asked, “What? Are you here to blame me?”Thaddeus narrowed his eyes and rested his gaze on Mona’s cold face.For some reason, his heart felt a little happy.Why else would this woman be unhappy unless she cared about him?This must be how women acted when they were jealous and petty...“No.” Thaddeus waved the gift in his hand as if he was showing it off to Mona. “This is the birthday present the children prepared for me. What I’m most pleased with is Millie’s performance in language class. She passed her test in English, French, and Spanish. It’s worth mentioning that she’s very interested in German. It’ll be a good idea to send her to Germany to study in the future.”Thaddeus had a fatherly smile on his face. He was extremely proud and confident of Millie’s achievements.Mona was surprise
“Today, when you came to the hospital to visit Ginny, I didn’t let you in and told you to throw away the medicine. Do you know why I did that?”Mona pursed her lips. Why? It was because he did not want her to put herself in the crosshairs. Tony wanted Thaddeus to divorce. As the party involved, it would not be good for her to be present.As for the medicine, perhaps it was because he doubted her medical skills and thought it was useless...“I did it to protect you,” Thaddeus said slowly, his deep gaze falling on Mona’s face.Mona paused for a moment, confused. “To protect me? Why?”“I did it for your own good. I know you’re good at alternative medicine and can cure old diseases like you did with Eleanor, but you don’t have to save everyone you see, especially the Kimball family. You’d better not deal with them, understand?”Mona listened carefully to what Thaddeus said and suddenly realized that he seemed a little different from usual.He was talking more than normal, and his to
After Thaddeus left, Mona covered her mouth and let out a big yawn. She looked back at Millie’s language test report card on the table and suddenly felt a headache coming.Millie had put in a lot of effort since the children’s first language class. Thus, Mona felt that Millie should not have gotten this result.Maybe it was because Millie was not interested in the subject. However, Thaddeus said Millie’s German score was good and suggested sending her abroad in the future. He also wanted to build her a playground and let her ride in a spaceship...Mona had never even thought about the things he said. At most, she wanted to take the children to a quiet and comfortable city near the sea to spend the rest of their lives peacefully and smoothly.However, Thaddeus raised those possibilities today. He arranged a bright and beautiful future for the children. Their starting point was way ahead of other children’s futures, and Mona admitted that she was tempted.For the sake of the childre
Bobby pointed to the high-tech astronomical telescope by the window. When Thaddeus learned that Bobby was interested in space, he specially bought a telescope for him. It was said that the telescope was from the national space agency itself, and was very specialized and rare.Mona let out a sigh at how deep Thaddeus’ pockets were. Her view of Bobby had also changed. This child’s head was indeed full of all kinds of strange ideas. However, the ideas she had thought were absurd were verified time and time again by the child. He even used them to create wealth.“You said that you observed the stars and saw that I’d face a disaster. What kind of disaster is it?”“It has something to do with finance.”“Oh? That won’t do.”She would rather have a life-and-death disaster than a financial disaster. She could not lose a single penny.“That’s why you have to wear the red dress, okay?” Bobby said seriously. “I’m serious. You have to wear it.”Mona pursed her lips. “Okay, okay. You’re so lo
Mona went downstairs and walked out of Fontaine Residence to where the bakery staff had dropped off the cake. She took the cake, handed it to the kitchen, and told them to bring it out at night.The chefs in the kitchen had gone to the market early to buy many fresh ingredients in preparation for the birthday party in the evening.Mona felt the solemn and formal atmosphere.Unexpectedly, the Fontaine family attached great importance to Thaddeus’ birthday and pulled out all the stops.“Are there any guests coming today?” Mona pulled the housekeeper aside to ask.“Besides this family, Old Mrs. Fontaine also invited the Kimball family,” the housekeeper said truthfully.The Kimball family?Mona frowned. Why were they coming? She thought they were in the hospital. Why did that father and daughter have to join every event?She sneered in her heart, becoming more aware of how scheming Ginny was.Just as she was thinking, Jennifer’s voice suddenly sounded. “Go and put away the mirrors
