Thaddeus hugged Mona and kissed her for a long time. He only let go when he felt that she found it hard to gasp for breath. Afterward, he grasped her hair with his fingers and pressed his forehead against hers while looking ruthlessly at her. “Do you know you have a man waiting for you?” Mona closed her eyes to avoid his burning gaze. She almost cried out loud. “Thaddeus, speak nicely if you have something to say. Don’t treat me like this.” “Well then, how did you treat me?” Thaddeus softened his tone and lifted his hand to wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes. “Don’t you know how you tortured me?” “I didn’t, I didn’t.” Mona shook her head and choked as she continued, “I didn’t torture you. It was you who did something wrong.” Thaddeus was the one who was entangled with another woman, whereas she simply refused to do what she did not want. She did not want to communicate with him, and she did not want to have physical contact with him. What was her fault? Mona fel
Mona did not sleep well the whole night. Thaddeus wrapped his arm around her. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she was afraid that she would wake him up by moving a lot, so she lay there quietly and did not move. She did not feel comfortable as she kept thinking about Thaddeus hugging another woman like that. As such, she was tormented by the emotions while she stared at the chandelier above without blinking. Mona could not blame anyone for the painful emotions and could only swallow them herself. Thaddeus slept until dawn. When he woke up and did not see Mona, he rubbed his messy hair and got off the bed. “Suzy?” In the empty villa, all that answered him were echoes and the sound of raging waves from not far away. A feeling of loss spread in Thaddeus’ heart. He froze in place for a moment and recalled Mona sobbing in his arms. Despite that, he could not make her happy. There were just too many things he could not say or let her know… …After leaving Gold Coast, Mona
Millie clapped happily and circled around Mona. “Did you come around?” Thaddeus’ voice was heard coming from the door. He held his arms and leaned against the door with a casual look on his face. Mona looked at him and ignored him. Neither had she come around,= nor would she let this go. She only decided to go home for the sake of the kids. Thaddeus took out his phone and called the driver to pick them up. Mona went into Linda’s house, packed her suitcase, and conveniently cleaned up the house. She left a note before she left. Thaddeus took her suitcase and took the kids downstairs. Mona locked the door and was about to leave when she suddenly saw a figure flashing past and disappearing into the storage room from the corner of her eye. Her heart skipped a bit, and she thought about the incident of the scary doll being placed on the doorstep. “Who is it?” The storage room was a small room without a lock. It was especially used to pile up old discarded items. There was
Mona could not dodge in time, so the woman managed to slap her face. The woman was just bluffing to vent her anger, so she did not use much force. As such, the slap on Mona’s face did not hurt, but unfortunately, Thaddeus saw it as he rushed up. How could he allow his woman to be bullied like that? He walked over and pulled Mona behind him to protect her, and then he returned a loud slap on the woman’s face. The woman was swayed by the blow, and the bag on her arm fell to the ground. The gift box in the bag rolled onto the ground as well. Mona looked at the woman’s face and then at Thaddeus. She was shocked by the fact that he would hit a woman. “You… How dare you hit me?! This is violence. I’m calling the police now to reason out with you!” The woman was furious. She pointed at Thaddeus while her hand trembled. At this point, her emotions were out of control as she was embarrassed and lost her dignity. It would be fine if it was Mona who slapped her, but it was a man who
Linda responded coldly, “Whatever. Stop bothering me.” “Don’t think I don’t know. You have my husband’s contact, right? Do you still want to sleep with him?!” As the woman spoke, she pounced over like a shrew and scratched Linda’s face until it bled. Mona wanted to go up to help but was pulled by Thaddeus to a far side. “You have a little one in your tummy. Don’t add to the mess.” Mona stood to the side and watched the messy scene in front of her. Linda was a professional taekwondo instructor. She grabbed the woman’s hair and gave her a beating. Linda pressed the woman to the ground and gritted her teeth as she glared at the woman fiercely. “You’d better take your trash with you and get out. I’ll smash your head if you come and disturb me again!” The woman’s face was pressed to the ground, so much so that it was almost deformed by Linda. She cried in a hoarse voice, “Do you think I want to? You destroyed my marriage and seduced my husband to sleep with you. I saw it with
Mrs. Jenkins’ cries became louder. Several neighbors opened their doors to come out and watch the fun. Mona was worried the neighbors would gossip about it without knowing what was going on, which would affect Linda’s reputation. She walked over to help Mrs. Jenkins up. “Mrs. Jenkins, you should get up first. Let’s not disturb the neighbors and head inside to talk.” “Suzy, you should take the kids home first.” Linda considered that Bobby and Millie were still waiting in the car. She did not want this to affect the harmony of Mona’s family. “Okay. Call me if anything happens.” Mona waved at Linda. She believed Linda was capable of solving this matter and did not need others to interfere. Mona turned to look at Mrs. Jenkins before she left. Mrs. Jenkins was also a poor woman hurt by love. Mona hoped that both she and Mrs. Jenkins could soon get over the betrayal they experienced. With that, Mona and Thaddeus went into the elevator. Thaddeus noticed her look of disappointmen
After sending the message, Mona put her phone away and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep. Thaddeus glanced sideways at Mona and felt somewhat disappointed. Back then, Mona would face him and watch him drive. Now, she was looking outside as though trying to draw distance from him. Like grabbing a handful of sand but not being able to hold them, the feeling of loss in Thaddeus’ heart grew.“Given how you’re craving sour food, it must be a boy.” He found a topic after racking his brain. Mona closed her eyes and hummed softly. She frowned somewhat impatiently. “It’d be nice if it’s a girl.” Thaddeus continued to ask, “What do you think?” Mona turned her face to the side. “How noisy. I want to sleep.” Thaddeus was mad at being given a cold shoulder. He thought, ‘How can she be so aloof? I can’t coax her at all.’ While feeling angry, Thaddeus kept quiet and remained cold as he drove back to Fontaine Residence. When he stopped at the entrance, he looked at Mona, who was s
Sure enough, as Mona expected, it was Ginny. Mona’s hand trembled as she held the phone. She did not know if she was angry or disappointed, but emotions instantly surged in her heart. She felt so oppressed that she found it hard to breathe. Thaddeus walked back after buying a drink. He opened the door and sat in the driver’s seat. When he saw Mona’s pale face, he knew something was off. He immediately asked nervously, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” As soon as Thaddeus’ hand touched Mona’s face, she pushed it away by reflex. “Don’t touch me!” The strong reaction was subconscious. Mona’s resistance and rejection for Thaddeus were obvious. Thaddeus could sense it. His heart sank, and he had an ugly expression on his face. “What’s the matter? Tell me why you’re unhappy.” Mona held back and took Thaddeus’ phone to unlock it. “You were just on the phone with Ginny.” Thaddeus looked down at the phone and reached out to take it. He responded calmly, “Yes. I was t
