Thaddeus saw that Mona was uncomfortable and waved his large palm in the air. He opened the sunroof of the car for better ventilation.Only then did Mona feel better. She looked at the man’s naked upper body. He had not even changed his shirt, and his worried expression filled her with a sense of security.“How are you? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?”Thaddeus leaned over. His deep eyes were dark, and his expression was concerned.Mona shook her head and wrapped her arms around the man’s neck.Thaddeus paused and leaned forward to make Mona more comfortable.“What’s wrong?” He touched her head and asked in a heavy voice.“Let me hold you for a moment.” Mona felt his naked skin and wanted to find some familiar feelings from the contact. Maybe they were intimate four and a half weeks ago?Thaddeus tightened his arms and held Mona in his embrace. The fresh smell of her hair wafted under his nose, incredibly fragrant. He took a deep breath. The car was quiet, and
It was simply outrageous.A passionate rendezvous downtown in the car? Thaddeus had only taken off his shirt and tossed it to the ground, but the paparazzi exaggerated and said it was evidence of the ‘fierce battle’ inside the car. Mona was simply hugging him. How could the paparazzi exaggerate so far?It was simply appalling. They did not care about morals as long as they could get views.“The paparazzi have been buzzing like flies all day. They make up gimmicks to attract clicks at the slightest chance and don’t care about reporting the truth. I’m sorry you had to make this trip for nothing, officer. My wife and I were just hugging earlier. As for the illegal parking, I was at fault, so I’ll deal with it.”It was rare for Thaddeus to show such patience as he explained the situation to the police. After all, as the heir of Fontaine Group, he had to be careful about his public image. The statement released by the police would be the best response to these scandals, so he naturally
Thaddeus’ heart must be bothered, and she was quite concerned about that.Mona took out the cake and stuffed it into her mouth. The originally sweet and sour cake tasted bitter in her mouth.It was as if she were chewing wax. After swallowing the piece in her mouth, she did not take a second bite.The car drove back to Fontaine Residence, and both the husband and wife were tired. As they changed their shoes at the entrance, they were greeted by Jennifer’s unhappy face.“Didn’t you two say you were visiting Master Fontaine in the hospital? Why was there news about you guys going to the commercial district?”Thaddeus leaned over and took out Mona’s slippers from the shoe cabinet. He glanced at Jennifer and said in dissatisfaction, “We went to buy something after seeing Grandpa. It’s nothing to make a fuss about.”When Jennifer saw how Thaddeus played down the situation, she immediately became agitated. “Photos of you two messing around in the car are going viral online, and you hav
As Mona spoke, her nose suddenly felt slightly sour. She naturally had nothing to say about Thaddeus as a husband and father, but as a son, he was really pitiful!Thaddeus’ eyes slowly turned to Mona’s stubborn and angry face. He was surprised by her words, but more than that, he was touched by her protectiveness toward him.She understood and empathized with him from the bottom of her heart. That was why she said those words.Jennifer was struck speechless by Mona. Her eyes swept to Mona and then fell on Thaddeus. “Well, are you going to say anything? Your rotten wife is scolding your mother. Do you even care?!”Thaddeus was a little overwhelmed and whispered to Mona, “You go upstairs first. I’ll talk to my mother.”“No!” Jennifer screamed. “If she leaves, I’ll die in front of you right now!”She lunged toward Mona as she spoke. Her appearance was terrifying.Mona hid behind Thaddeus, so Jennifer could not touch her. The woman was furious, “You really want me to die, huh? Fine!
With that in her mind, Thaddeus called her. She picked it up immediately. “How’s your mother?” “We got to the hospital just in time, and she’s in the ER. I think she’s going to make it.” The man’s voice sounded tired. Mona then realized the man had been dealing with his family affairs since the morning. Now, he had to stay in the hospital to look out for Madam Fontaine. She started to feel bad for him. “Alright. If you need me there…” “Don’t come.” the man said resolutely. “Just stay home and take care of yourself and the kids.” "Mhmm." Mona nodded. A slight hesitation later, she decided to tell him about the separation once his mother's condition had stabilized. "Take care of yourself." “Okay.” The man then hung up the phone. After the phone call, a car's engine noise came from the front door. Mona was annoyed by the noise. Who could it be at this hour? She went out of the living room to see who it was. The car on the front porch felt familiar and made her think.
The more Mona tried to push Victor away, the more he teased her. He curled his lips into a wicked smile and stared at Mona with an invasive gaze. Although Eleanor saw, she turned a blind eye to it, encouraging her son to harass Mona with his perverted gaze. She smiled and put Mona’s hand on her lap. In fact, it was not only her son. She liked Mona a lot too, and since Mona was having a conflict with Jennifer, it would be an ideal outcome if she could just get her to her side. “Mona, I heard from Victor that you two knew each other a long time ago, but because of some mistakes and what happened to your family, you lost your memories and got together with his uncle. Am I right?” Mona was surprised that Eleanor was speaking of her past with Victor. After all, she had settled with Thaddeus and formed a family with him. She even had two adorable kids with him. As Thaddeus’ sister, Eleanor should not be saying something like that.“Eleanor, that’s history. There’s no point in brin
Eleanor whispered the secret into Mona’s ear. It was about Jennifer having an affair with her husband’s brother. She told Mona everything about the incestuous relationship. Jennifer had two years of an incestuous relationship with her brother-in-law. Eleanor heard it from someone else herself. Coupled with the clues and inkling she spotted in Jennifer in the past few years, it was almost certain that it was true. Mona took a couple of minutes to calm herself down from the shock. She asked Eleanor, “Eleanor, how did you find out about this?” “Ginny told me.” Mona pondered. If it was Ginny, it might have a certain level of authenticity. She knew Ginny held a great secret about Jennifer that Jennifer refused to even speak about it. So, it might be about this incestuous relationship. However, Mona could not be a hundred percent sure and decided to probe for more. She feigned surprise and raised a brow. She asked, “Ginny? She’s not one of us. Why would she tell you something l
Mona turned a deaf ear and walked away. “If I win this competition against Thaddeus and helm the company, will you consider being with me again?” Mona turned around when she reached the higher point of the stairs and looked down at Victor from a condescending angle. She said coldly, “No. Never.” Victor looked at her frosty but delicate face. He scoffed. “Don’t speak too early.” Mona ignored him and returned to the living room. She sat down on the couch to calm herself down. A lot had happened in one night, and she needed time to comb through her thoughts. Her priority would be going to the hospital tomorrow to talk to Thaddeus about the separation. She could not delay it anymore. Now that Jennifer had gotten out of control, the woman had to be sent away as soon as possible. It would be up to Thaddeus to decide whether his mother or she and the children would move out of the house. With that in mind, Mona barely got any sleep. She went to the hospital the next day. After
