Mona was stunned when she heard Victor’s question, then suddenly laughed.“What made you think I had feelings for Thaddeus?”Thaddeus and she were like two straight lines that had intersected once. There was no future after that.She believed Thaddeus thought the same way. It was ridiculous to talk about feelings.Victor’s eyes gazed over her smiling face and finally landed in the direction of the door. When he saw a figure flash past, he asked, “You mean you’ve never liked Thaddeus and were only with him because you were forced to?”Mona thought about it.That was not exactly true.She was still grateful to Thaddeus. If it were not for him, she and her children would not be where they were now.“I guess so.”Mona nodded in agreement.Thaddeus stood at the door, listening to Mona’s answer. He said nothing after, turned around, and left.The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital building. When Marcus saw Thaddeus walk out with an unpleasant expression, he hurriedly got
When Thaddeus heard it was Bobby, he opened the car door and stepped out with his slender legs.The man took off his sunglasses and looked at the little boy, who did not even reach his waist. He raised his brows and asked, “Do you need something?”Thaddeus guessed that the boy would tell him to stay away from his mother or something. After all, the boy did not like him. He liked his Daddy Victor more.Bobby was tiny in front of Thaddeus’s 190 cm stature and had to crane his neck to look at the man.“Can we find a place to sit down and talk? My neck is a little sore.”Thaddeus’s lips could not help but curl up as he let out a snicker.Bobby seemed annoyed. “You’re an adult, and I’m a kid. I haven’t grown up yet, so I’m not as tall as you. It’s very impolite to laugh at others, Mr. Fontaine.”Thaddeus’s snickers grew.Bobby gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, enduring it.He would not have talked to such a disrespectful person if not for the fact that he wanted to know thi
Thaddeus listened to Bobby, staying silent. Then, Bobby asked, “Mr. Fontaine, what exactly is your relationship with Mommy? Are you pursuing her?”The man raised his brows. “What makes you say that?”“Because you’re really nice to her. When she got into a car accident, you immediately appeared in the hospital to take care of her. Also, you went to our house and bought many gifts for Millie and me.”Bobby stared at Thaddeus intently. His face looked nervous as if he was expecting something.“Does that mean I like her? Kid, your understanding is a little too superficial.”“I think that’s what it means to like someone. Daddy Victor likes Mommy, so he always rushes to her side whenever something happens to her. He’s worried about her because he likes her.”At the mention of Victor, Thaddeus’s expression darkened, and he put Bobby down.“Your mom and I aren’t superior and subordinate. I’m your Daddy Victor’s uncle. If your mom and Victor were to get married, I would be her uncle-in-l
In the evening, Raymond came to visit Mona in the hospital ward.Bobby and Millie had gone out to eat with Victor, so Mona was the only one there. She was not sleeping soundly and woke up as soon as Raymond came in.“What are you doing here?”As she propped herself up, Raymond hurried over and took a pillow to cushion her back.“Don’t move around. Just lie down.”“It’s not that serious. I just got a couple more scars. Hopefully, it won’t affect how I look on camera.”“You worry too much. It doesn’t matter. No matter how you look on camera, I’ll still be able to make you a sensation.”It was just a matter of money. Any problem that could be solved with money was nothing to be concerned about.“Thank you for being so accommodating. I feel so ashamed of myself.”Mona flashed him a gentle smile, feeling overwhelmed by favor from her superior. Her expression was calm and unfettered.“By the way, about our phone call before my accident. Can you help me? I still want to know everyth
“It’s nothing. I just saw you by coincidence on the road. Why are you out and about so late instead of resting in your ward?”“It’s too stuffy in the hospital, so I went out for some air.” Mona stroked her hair blown by the wind and laughed. “Mr. Fontaine, you should focus on getting your wedding photos with Ms. Mayers done. Don’t make her angry.”There was no trace of displeasure in Mona’s voice. She was very calm when they got married, and she was still as calm after the divorce.However, what she could not see was the man’s lips curling coldly on the other side of the phone.He had always thought she was understanding and sensible, but it seemed he was wrong. She just did not care.“Samantha’s like you. She won’t get angry over something like this.”“No, no. How could I be the same as Ms. Mayers?” Mona laughed.“What do you mean?”“When a woman likes a man, she feels possessive of him. How can she not be angry? Mr. Fontaine, I think you’d better go and accompany her right no
“Is Samantha with him?” Raymond heard the conversation between the two and felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.“Yeah. Perhaps he saw your car in front of the bridal store earlier. They’re going to get their wedding photos done. That means they should be getting married soon.”“I think you’ve misunderstood.” Raymond shook his head firmly. “They haven’t known each other for long. They were just classmates in the past. They’re not close enough to get married.”“I heard Samantha saved Thaddeus when he was studying abroad. The two went through a near-death experience together and have deep feelings for one another. Thaddeus prepared to divorce me as soon as Samantha came back. It’s clear Thaddeus quite likes her. Besides, there’s nothing impossible in this world.”Mona put her phone in her bag and tied her hair into a ponytail with a small elastic she kept on her wrist, revealing her white and smooth neck. She had a good temperament.“That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m say
Raymond was shocked. “Holy cow! What the hell is that? A ghost?!” “Marianne Colister. I think she’s here for me.” Mona squinted and got a better look at the woman’s face. She put her hand on the handle, wanting to go down. “Let me go and see what she wants.” “No. I should go.” Raymond unfastened his seatbelt. He told Mona to stay in the car and made sure she locked it before he went over. He had heard a thing or two about Marianne as well. From being one of the most popular celebrities to a common enemy that got banned on every single platform online, it only took her less than half a year to ruin her reputation. It was all because of her arrogance and the troubles she caused for Mona. These were the consequences of her reckless and foolish actions. “Marianne, are you trying to get yourself killed?” Raymond was assaulted by a heavy alcoholic stench when he approached the woman. He quickly covered his nose and frowned in disgust. “If you want to die, go somewhere else.
“I’ll reason with her,” Mona said firmly. Raymond found it amusing and ridiculous. Reason? With a woman who had lost her mind? What words could reach her in her current state? Mona disregarded Raymond and gripped the steering wheel tighter. “Mr. Rockwell, how much is your car? Is it expensive?” “Uhmm. It’s alright. Around a million and a half, I guess? Why? Why do you ask?” Raymond was slightly confused. “What about insurance?” “Yeah. Of course, I have it.” “Great. Sit tight, Mr. Rockwell.” As soon as Mona’s words subsided, she pulled into reverse and stepped on the accelerator. The car reversed all of a sudden. Just when Raymond was surprised that Mona could drive, the car stopped all of a sudden before sprinting forward to Marianne. Raymond was horrified. “What are you doing?! Stop! Stop! You’re going to kill her!” Mona turned a deaf ear and continued accelerating. Raymond clutched the grab handle tightly. His eyes closed as a surge of thoughts rushed in
