After dinner, Mona recited her lines on the living room sofa, while Anna fell into deep thought. In the end, she decided to disappear for a month and stop contacting Alex before she sorted out her thoughts.In this era, feelings were like fast food; one night of passion was no big deal. However, Anna was not a casual person, and neither was Alex. That was why he was in a hurry to meet with her and talk.Anna gripped her hair. Her heart was a mess. ‘Forget it, forget it. Stop thinking about it. Let’s just leave it be...’Standing up, Anna went to the bathroom to take a bath. When she changed into her pajamas and looked in the mirror to see the traces left on her body, her face suddenly burst into flames.It was her first time experiencing the deed between man and woman. Although last night was a mess, she still had some feelings in her memories. In that crazy scene, the only name that man uttered was of his beloved woman.Anna shook her head and smiled wryly. She walked into the ba
“Why wouldn’t you keep it?” Anna immediately regretted it after asking the question.‘Why wouldn’t she keep it? Of course, it’s because Thaddeus didn’t give Mona enough security. The two must be quite unhappy. Otherwise, Mona would not run away and stay alone in a hotel.’Anna did not continue asking. As a woman, she fully understood Mona’s feelings.“We women have the right to give birth. Our womb is ours, so your choice whether or not to keep it. I’ll support you.”Mona smiled. “We share the same view.”“Actually, I quite admire you. You’re brave and wise. It’s Thaddeus’ loss that he doesn’t cherish you. You’re right to put your faith in yourself. As for those rotten people, you can just throw them away like garbage!”Anna said that to both herself and Mona.Mona nodded and hummed softly.She thought of the scene when she went to the airport this morning and argued with Thaddeus. Jennifer went to find Ginny, and the two broke out in conflict at a restaurant. Jennifer was so a
Mona lifted the quilt, pressed the mute button, and angrily threw it aside.“No. I won’t be contacting him during this period.”Since she decided to be firm, she could not go back. She would only make video calls with the children. As for everything else, she would put them aside for the time being.Anna shrugged. “Okay. You have a lot of guts.”As soon as she spoke, Anna’s phone also rang. She looked at the caller ID on the screen and could not help but laugh.“Thaddeus is really persistent. He’s calling me this time.”Mona made a gesture at Anna, bringing her forefinger to her mouth to tell Anna not to say too much about her.Anna made an OK hand sign. “Don’t worry.”She answered the call and said with a smile, “Good evening, Mr. Fontaine. What can I do for you?”“Where’s Mona?” Thaddeus went straight to the point and concluded that Mona was with Anna without even asking.“I’m not sure. Shouldn’t you know where Mrs. Fontaine is?”“Stop acting. I asked the front desk of the
“Mom, this is my job. I signed the contract long ago. If I break the contract, I’ll have to pay a lot of money. I can’t take care of you at home during this time. In fact, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Bobby and Millie for me. I’m sorry.”“No, it’s no trouble. I’m very happy to see the two little ones. I don’t feel as bored when they’re accompanying me as well. I just want you to come home soon.”Mona pursed her lips. For some reason, when she heard Jennifer’s words, she felt somewhat touched.“Mom, did you go find Ginny?”‘Yes, I went to talk to her about you. I warned her not to ruin your relationship with Thaddeus or else, but she acted all righteous. I was furious.”“Mom, thank you for taking my anger out for me, but don’t get angry because of this. It’s bad for your health. It isn’t worth it. Just leave them be.”“No can do. Don’t worry, Mona. I’ll keep an eye on them for you so you can work in peace.”“Don’t be silly, Mom. It’s not what you think at all.” Thadde
Anna stared at the post for a long time. Her heart felt faintly bitter.She devoted several years of her youth to loving him. How could she let go that easily?Mona noticed Anna’s depressed mood and turned over, propping her head up. She glanced at Anna’s phone screen and instantly understood why the latter was in such a bad mood.She plucked the phone from Anna’s hand, placed it to the side, and spoke softly.“Do you feel sad seeing this?”Anna lay on her side and hugged Mona, burying her face in Mona’s arms. How could she not feel sad? She was heartbroken.Mona patted Anna’s back and touched her face to find out that Anna was crying. Her face was wet.“Go on and cry. It’s time to let it all out.”When Anna heard Mona say this, she suddenly burst into tears.That night, Anna cried for a long time, and Mona stayed quietly by her side until past midnight.The next morning, Mona planned to take Anna out for some fresh air. This city was a tourist city with several attractions.
The man searched for a high-end restaurant on his mobile phone, followed the navigation, and arrived at his destination after driving for about twenty minutes.When the car parked in the parking space, Alex’s phone rang. Anna glanced at the caller ID on the screen: Vivi.“You go in first and wait for me.” Alex threw Anna a glance. Anna very wisely got out of the car. When she closed the car door, Alex answered his call. His expression when he spoke to Vivian became much softer and indulgent.Anna’s heart felt vaguely disappointed, but then she remembered that this man never belonged to her. What qualification did she have to ask him for anything?She turned around and went into the restaurant alone.In the car, Alex brought the phone to his ear. As Vivian’s reproachful voice questioned him, he glanced to the side at Anna’s figure. His heart felt a little upset.“Alex, where did you go last night? Don’t lie to me, saying you were at home and didn’t get my call. I waited at your ho
Anna put the check in her bag, picked up the teacup in front of her, and took a slow sip.She could guess what was on Alex’s mind. He was worried she would make a fuss and destroy his relationship with Vivian. However, Alex did not know her well and underestimated her too much.“You don’t have to be so nervous, Mr. Ortega.” Anna smiled. “I accept your money as compensation for my mental damages, but not under your conditions. I’m not an object. I’m not something you can measure and calculate with money.”Alex’s eyes flashed with a dark light as he gazed at Anna’s palm-sized face.“No matter what you think, since you’ve accepted this check, you have to keep your promise. Don’t let a third person find out about what happened between us. Understand?”Anna curled her lips. Sure enough, this man was too selfish. He did not care one bit about what she said. All he cared about was the relationship between him and his fiancee.“Don’t worry, Mr. Ortega. I won’t say anything, but please sh
Anna suddenly realized that they were too close and how inappropriate it was. She hurriedly pushed Alex’s shoulder and deliberately created a distance between them.It was only after pushing him away did she realize that his arm was bleeding. It looked quite serious. “Hey, you’re injured. Let’s go to the hospital to deal with the wound.”Alex looked sideways at the wound on his arm. It was only when sharp pain came in bursts he realized he was indeed hurt quite badly. He gave the car keys to Anna and said in a low voice, “You drive. Take me to the hospital.”Anna took the keys and hurriedly headed over to Alex’s car. She unlocked the door to sit in the driver’s seat, set the navigation on her phone to the nearest hospital, and drove to her destination.Along the way, she noticed how badly injured Alex was. It was hard for him to even lift his arm.When they arrived at the hospital, Anna helped Alex to the orthopedic department. After some tests, it was finally confirmed that he ha
