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
Mona threw a grateful look at her son. He really was the one who knew her best and defended her the most.Sometimes, it was sad thinking about that. She was an adult, but she had to be taken care of by a little child. However, that was also a kind of happiness.Mona looked at her two darlings in front of her with a calm smile on her face. She was really content.“Come and eat. We’re having a barbecue today.”Linda put the grill and the ingredients on the table and called everyone over to sit down for dinner.Bobby and Millie’s eyes lit up when they saw the sizzling grill on the table. They had not had a barbecue in so long!Linda could not help but laugh. “What greedy little kittens we have here. All the cutlery is prepared, so let’s start eating. Throw what you want to eat on the grill yourself.”“Okay.” The two little ones were eager to try. They stared at the grill and kept tossing ingredients in, drooling in hunger.Mona took a tissue to wipe their drool. “Isn’t that enou
At that mention, Bobby and Millie finally remembered their father. They were satiated, but their daddy was still downstairs waiting for them to bring their mommy back.Since they could not bring her back, they could just let their daddy see her one more time.“Mommy, there’s already a car downstairs. Just send me and Bobby down.” Millie took Mona’s hand and dragged her outside.“There’s no hurry, Millie. Let me change my clothes.”How could Millie not hurry? She did not finish her task, so she had to at least drag her mommy downstairs. She had made such a proud boast earlier, so she could not eat her own words.“Geez, why are you two in such a hurry to leave? You should stay for a few days.”“No, thank you, Godmom. We’ll leave Mommy in your care. We’ll be going now,” Bobby thanked Linda very politely.“You’re getting better at talking now. I have some leftover barbecue ingredients here. You two can take them back and ask the kitchen to prepare them for you if you want to eat the
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”“What are you thinking? Huh?” Thaddeus asked Mona. “You have a family, but you won’t go home. This isn’t the right thing to do. What do you have to think about?”The man’s tone was impatient and exasperated. He was not trying to solve the problem at all. He just came here to find her to pass the time because he was bored.Mona pursed her lips. “Thaddeus, when you learn to respect me and communicate with me without bringing your emotions into the matter, then we’ll talk.”Thaddeus slammed his fist on the steering wheel. This woman always had ways to make him angry, but she did not allow others to talk about her. She wanted him to respect her and talk to her without bringing emotions into the matter.Did he not do that?What the hell was this woman talking about? His grasp of her world was getting fainter and fainter.“Well, that’s all from me. Hurry up and take the children home. Remember to drive safely. Take care of them,” Mona said and then op
