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
The man paced back and forth in the office, annoyed by the thought of Mona moving out. The sound of two children giggling and laughing came from outside.Thaddeus walked outside and opened the office door to Millie throwing herself into his arms.“Daddy, this place is huge. Does the whole building belong to you?”“Not yet, but it will be in the future.”He was bound to obtain the position of the head of Fontaine Group. For the sake of his two children and his woman’s future, he had to do whatever it took to get that position.“Wow. Then, I can come here often to play.”“Yes, but you can’t be too noisy. This is an office where adults go to work. You’ll disturb others if you’re too noisy.”“Shh.”Millie covered her mouth with her finger and made a hush gesture. “Be good, and don’t disturb others.”Thaddeus looked at the adorable girl and bent down to pick her up, holding her in his arms.“Millie, do you want Daddy to install a children’s playroom in the office?”His office was
Bobby rubbed his chin and analyzed, “Daddy is the strong lion and Victor...”He clicked his tongue and trailed off.Thaddeus burst out laughing. He liked what his son said.The man was instantly in a good mood. He picked Bobby up and sat him on his lap.“Bobby, I’ll leave the company to you in the future, okay?”“Of course. I’m Daddy’s son.”“That’s right. It’s good that you’re so bold. Even though you’re just a kid, you have the confidence to say such grand and ambitious words.”Bobby rubbed his nose, feeling slightly embarrassed.“Daddy, Millie still has a lot to learn from you.”“Take it slow.”“Okay.”Bobby’s eyes were sparkling. He raised his head to look at Thaddeus and suddenly thought of something, “By the way, I have good news to tell you, Daddy.”“What good news?”“There’s a baby in Mommy’s belly.”Thaddeus realized what Bobby was talking about and reached out to tap Bobby’s nose. “No matter whether your mommy is carrying a younger brother or a younger sister, y
Bobby’s expression suddenly became very serious. “Mommy is a very good-tempered woman, but she ran away from home this time. It must be because she’s sad and disappointed. Daddy, you shouldn’t make Mommy sad.”Thaddeus was exasperated and knocked his head. “I must have owed you all a debt in my past life.”He spoiled that woman endlessly. Even when he was angry, he never took it out on her and would rather suffocate than yell at her. That woman did not know how fortunate she was.Millie praised Bobby, “That’s right. Bobby is right. Daddy, you’re a man. You should give in to Mommy.”Thaddeus spanked the two children. “Don’t just talk and show your real skills to coax your mommy back.”“Yes, sir!”...In the evening, Mona and Linda were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. They were having barbecue that night.At that moment, there was a knock at the door, and Bobby and Millie’s voices rang out. The two women looked at each other and confirmed that their ears were not playing tr
