“Suzy, no matter what decision you make, I will support it unconditionally. As you said, it’s your body. You have the right to decide whether or not to keep it.”While the two people were talking, the delivery man sent the ginger to the house. Linda opened the door, took the package, and quickly went to the kitchen to prepare ginger tea for Mona.“Suzy, your tea is ready. Get up and drink it while it’s still hot.”Linda took the mug into the bedroom and helped Mona up.Mona propped herself up. She picked up the mug and drank the tea in one go, finally feeling her body warm.Now that she had some strength, she pulled up the quilt to cover her body and leaned against the bed to look out the window.From Linda’s point of view, Mona’s three-dimensional features were quiet and serene. She was like a quiet kitten living in her own world.In Linda’s impression, Mona always had a quiet nature. While her features were stunning, her quiet temperament accentuated her beauty and made her mo
“You’re putting yourself down. Suzy, you’re not just a tool for giving birth to children. Besides, if he doesn’t like you, why would he let you stay in Fontaine residence as Mrs. Fontaine? He must have married you because you’re a good woman.”Mona suddenly felt like laughing when she heard the title Mrs. Fontaine.“It’s better to rely on oneself.”She thought that Thaddeus was a person who was willing to live by her side for the rest of his life. However, she was disappointed time and time again...“You still have me.”Linda hugged Mona’s hand. “No matter what, I’ll be by your side.”“Thank you, Linda.”Mona smiled. “You’re the best.”“Geez, don’t be so polite. I’ll make you some more ginger tea to warm your body up.”...On the other side, Thaddeus was frantically fishing for a certain person and finally remembered that Mona had a friend called Linda.He told his assistant to investigate Linda’s address. Sure enough, Mona took a cab from the hospital and went in that direc
Thaddeus raised his brows slightly. He looked into the house and stepped inside.As soon as he walked into the living room, the pungent smell of ginger wafted to his nose. Thaddeus felt a little choked and covered his nose with his hand to suppress the smell.Linda curled her lips, thinking, ‘Does he dislike the smell? Well, I also dislike it when he does things that make people despise him.’“Suzy is still sleeping in the bedroom. Wait until she wakes up.”Linda poured Thaddeus a cup of ginger tea and placed it on the table. “Help yourself.”Thaddeus looked at the closed door of the bedroom. He got up and said, “I want to see her first.”Linda quickly walked over and raised her arms to stop him. “Mr. Fontaine, that’s a lady’s bedroom. How can you barge in like this?”Thaddeus was speechless. He put his hands into his pockets and stood at the door without leaving. “My wife is inside. I want to go in and see her.”Linda was deliberately making things hard for him. Did she think
Thaddeus looked at the bright red apple on the fruit plate. It was Mona’s favorite.He sat down and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a beautiful arm.Pulling out a wet paper towel, he wiped his hands, picked up the fruit knife and the red apple, and began to peel it.Mona and Linda were both surprised when they saw how familiar the man’s action of peeling the fruit was. It was unexpected that someone like Thaddeus, who always had people serving him, would do something like this.Thaddeus’ long and good-looking fingers held the fruit knife and peeled off the skin of the apple. Then, he cut the apple into several pieces, put it on the fruit plate, skewered it, and handed it to Mona.“Eat the apple. Come home with me when you’re finished.”The man was originally angry. However, when he saw Mona looking at him pitifully and speaking in such a soft and sweet voice, he simply could not get angry anymore.Sometimes, he was that easy to coax. As long as she stayed by his side obediently
Thaddeus' expression froze, and his brows furrowed slightly. “Why do you keep asking that question?”“Because you haven't given me a definite answer.”“I'll explain it to you some other time, but not now.”Mona curled her lips up in a playful smile. “If you won't tell me, I won't go back with you. You should leave.”Thaddeus' expression changed. “What can't you understand, Mona?”When Mona saw him getting angry, a fire rose in her.She was angry too. In fact, she was even angrier than him.“How am I supposed to understand? I can't understand!”She could not understand. He stayed out late for two nights, and both times he was staying with the same woman. The important point was not that Mona saw it with her own eyes. It was that he was being evasive!Thaddeus was so furious that his chest heaved in anger. If not for the fact that this was someone else's home, he would have pinned this woman on the bed and spanked her hard.“Fine. If that's what you want, you can stay here with
Mona had figured it out. Earlier, Sophie said that the light had gone from her eyes, and she had lost herself. It was true. She always devoted her energy and time to her family instead of caring about what she wanted. It would be stranger if she were not unhappy living like that.“I'm just worried that the children miss you. What if Thaddeus brings Ginny home while you're not around? Would you be able to stand it if he tells your children to call her mom?”“I'm focusing on myself right now. So let's put those things aside for the time being.”Mona lay comfortably on the bed. Sometimes, it was better not to worry so much. She would be much happier if she only cared about herself.“Sure. Let's sleep, then.”Linda hummed happily and went to the cupboard to get a pillow. “By the way, how long are you planning to stay?”Mona raised her hands behind her head and tapped her finger on her head. “Until that man begs me to come home.”“Awesome!” Linda threw the pillow next to Mona and lay
The driver teased Mona while driving. A woman would not be so calculative if she did not care about her man.The previous Mona would not care at all even if Thaddeus hugged another woman in front of her, much less privately ask if there were any other women at home.Mona looked out of the window and did not deny the driver's words.Yes, she was beginning to care.The car drove all the way to Fontaine Residence. The children were not at home. After asking Maria, Mona learned that Thaddeus brought them to the company because he did not feel comfortable leaving them at home.Mona thought, 'Even when I'm not at home, that man will take care of the children. He took them with him because he was worried about their safety.'She went back to her room, packed her luggage, and took a script with her.Moving out to live with Linda this time was like giving herself a vacation. Now, she could look over the script while thinking carefully over whether or not to keep the child in her belly.
Mona held the tablet in front of Linda. “Here. Choose one.”“Choose what? You were so focused.”Linda looked at the tablet. It was the official sales website of her favorite skiing products.“This brand is like the Hermes of the ski industry. A set can cost up to six figures. I can't afford it. Why are you showing this to me?”“What do you mean you can't afford it?” Mona forbade her best friend to say such unambitious words. “Which one do you like? I'll pay for it.”“Oh My God. Really? Really?!” Linda squealed in surprise. “Suzy, where did you get the money to buy me such expensive things?”Mona took out a supplementary card from her bag and waved it ostentatiously in front of Linda. “See? I didn't just come here by myself. I brought a small vault with me. Just think of it as me paying the rent. Buy whatever you want!”Linda clasped her hands and took the card in Mona's hand with a starry-eyed look. She took a closer look at the words on the card. It was a supplementary card. Th
