Millie held her chubby face full of baby fat, looking as cute as ever.“My problem is that I wet the bed, and I’m scared Mommy will spank me. I don’t want Mommy to spank me.”Mona pinched her daughter’s nose. “Okay. Now that you know your problem, you need to find a way to solve it. You’ve already done the first step.”“The first step?”“Yes. You bravely admitted your mistake to Mommy and told me honestly how you felt. That’s your first step to solving the problem.”Millie was struck with a realization and suddenly seemed to understand.“All children wet their bed sometimes, so you don’t have to think you did something terrible. Now let’s ask one of the maids to help us change the sheets and blanket, okay?”“Okay.” Millie slid off Mona’s body and ran toward the children’s room.“I’ll call Layla and ask her to get me new sheets and blankets from the linen room.”Mona smiled and shook her head. Her daughter was like the wind.After solving the problem of her daughter, she turne
Mona opened the cabinet containing the man’s perfumes and scanned the dazzling array.She had studied perfumes for a long time and had a photographic memory. She practiced to the point where as long as she knew the brand and name, she could recall its scent and list of ingredients.After looking around, her eyes fixed on the bottle in the corner of the bottommost grid.She curled her lips as a dark light flashed in her eyes.She took out the bottle of perfume and blew on the dust on the bottle.“Here. This one is suitable for you.”Thaddeus took the perfume bottle and glanced at the brand.It was a very niche perfume brand. When he opened the bottle, a clear and heavy woody aroma wafted to his nose. The base note of the fragrance was very special. He quite liked it.Mona knew his tastes and could always catch his inner wants.“Okay. I’ll use this.”Thaddeus sprayed the perfume and watched Mona’s reaction.Mona looked calm as if nothing had happened. She even helped him strai
“Weren’t you just having fun earlier? What? Did you have another fight?”“No. Thanks for your concern, but you should worry about yourself more.”Mona glanced at Jennifer in disdain. Ever since she eavesdropped on the truth last night, her impression of this woman had worsened.Jennifer’s self-righteousness was simply ridiculous. She would push herself into the abyss sooner or later.Jennifer crossed her arms and sneered. “Did you know? Thaddeus isn’t going to the hospital. He’s going to see Ginny.”Jennifer thought saying that could provoke Mona.Unbeknownst to her, Mona already knew in advance.“Oh? He went to see Ms. Kimball?” Mona pretended to be surprised.“Yes. I heard it clearly. He took out his phone to call Ginny and asked her out.”Jennifer was very smug. Wanting to make Mona uncomfortable, she completely forgot how abusive Ginny was toward her yesterday.“Then, have you ever wondered why he’s going to Ms. Kimball?” Mona smiled meaningfully. “Aren’t you scared? Ms.
As soon as Mona and Linda sat down, Ginny became unhappy.There were so many empty seats, yet they insisted on sitting beside Thaddeus and her. Furthermore, they had been sitting somewhere else originally. So it was clear that they were doing this deliberately.“You two really are uneducated,” Ginny said coldly as she looked at Mona in ridicule.She was puzzled when she received the call from Thaddeus today. However, when they met, Thaddeus softened his attitude toward her. He held the door for her to get into the car, helped her open a canned drink, and asked how she was doing recently. His gentlemanly actions reignited her originally dead heart and gave birth to surging love again.Mona turned to glance at Ginny, and her gaze fell on Thaddeus’ face. The man looked calm, as if nothing had happened.She turned back, a little angry.There was a high chance that the man was just acting. Even though she knew this in her heart, she was still upset.What decent man would do such a th
Mona was drinking fruit juice. Although she was simply sitting at the side and watching the show, she bit the straw and curled her lips up when she heard Thaddeus say that. She was secretly happy.Ginny laughed angrily when she heard Thaddeus’ words. He was clearly trying to distance himself from her.In that case, there was nothing else to say. As a man and woman, there was nothing to talk about except for that.“So, you called me out just to tell me this, Mr. Fontaine?”Was it only to show their love off in front of her? To make her give up on him?“That’s just one of the reasons.” Thaddeus’ handsome face was suddenly covered with a layer of coldness as he looked at Ginny gloomily. “There’s one other thing. It’s time to end it.”When Ginny heard this, her heart sank bit by bit and fell to the bottom.“What is it?”“Your three requests,” Thaddeus said coldly. He took out a document from his briefcase and left it on the table. “You should also stop your self-directed farce.”G
The man narrowed his eyes and cupped her chin to force her to look at him. “It’s true that beneficial actions often go unappreciated.”Mona snorted a laugh.She had won this tug of war!In fact, she was just sulking earlier. However, now that this man made a clear stance and flatly rejected Ginny, it gave Mona a sense of security.Thaddeus gritted his teeth. “I chose this place because I wanted to reassure you. There’s no need for you to doubt me in your heart. I’ll always be on your side. You don’t need to be angry with me or get involved with some other men to make me feel a sense of crisis.”Honestly, just the thought of Mona and Tim getting close made his possessiveness explode.Mona smiled silently. It turned out this man really did care. She thought he had not.The two showed off their affection as if no one was watching. To the side, Linda watched their PDA with her chin in her palm.However, this harmonious scene was soon broken by Ginny’s scream.“Ah! Oh, God… Somethi
Ginny dried her tears, stood up, and said to Tim with a pleading face, “Help me. Take me to the hospital. My hands are shaking so badly that I can’t drive.”“I’ll help you.” Tim put his hands in his pocket, looking like a person in power from up high. “But I have a condition.”Ginny looked at Tim with a confused face. “What do you want?”Tim curled his lips. “What I want is also what you want, so let’s work together.”Ginny thought about it and suddenly understood.While she was studying abroad, she occasionally paid attention to media gossip about her home country. The young master of the Graves family in front of her seemed to have had a scandal with Mona before.Was he still thinking of another man’s wife? Then again, Mona was a woman who had given birth to two children. How could she make these men so spellbound for her?Could it really be as Jennifer said? Did Mona have the ability to hook a man’s soul away?“Take me to the hospital and heal my face first.” Ginny took a sm
“Ginny’s face is too ugly. How did she end up like that? It looks like she’s going to be disfigured. Hmph. That’s called karma. The heavens must have finally decided to give her punishment.”“Yes, the heavens have a good heart.”Mona avoided Linda’s gaze and glanced at Thaddeus, feeling guilty.Although she used this little trick for Xavier and to vent her anger, she ended up using Thaddeus as a tool. It was not an honorable thing to admit.The man met her gaze and seemed to read something from her expression.“Was it the heavens, or a woman possessing remarkable ability?” Thaddeus reached out and pinched Mona’s delicate nose. “Was it you?”Mona frowned. Subconsciously, her tone sounded spoiled. “So what if it was? Are you going to hit me?”The man was exasperated and amused.“How would I dare hit you?”Mona smiled and pointed to the man’s suit jacket.“It’s your perfume. There’s a problem with Ginny’s immune system due to the poisoning incident back then, and there’s a speci
