"Both of us are responsible for Linda's death. Do you admit it, Thaddeus?"Thaddeus paused for a moment, reacting to what Mona said.He admitted that he was responsible for this matter. If he had not booked a flight for Linda and asked her to come over to protect Mona, such an incident would not have happened. However, since it already did, it was useless to complain and lament. He had to look forward and solve the problem.He did not do or say anything wrong. What did he have to admit?"You're blaming me." Thaddeus felt wronged in his heart, and even his tone became resentful. "I asked her to come so that she would protect you. It's my responsibility for not taking care of Linda's safety."Mona's nose stung. She could not help but cry out.She felt guilty. The day Linda protected her, she had instead blamed Linda for being too impulsive. She criticized Linda arrogantly as if she was superior. However, Linda did not get angry but humored her with laughter instead.Mona was in pa

When Mona had enough to eat and drink, Thaddeus picked up the leftovers to casually fill his stomach. Just then, the police department staff in charge of Lindaโs case arrived.Thaddeus and Mona had special identities and were both people with strong social standing, so their statements were taken in a very low-key and private manner.The couple sat together on the sofa, facing two police officers, and answered all the questions they were asked. They tried their best to give as much detail as possible to assist with the case.โLinda ingested a hallucinogenic drug. It looks like this.โ The officer took out a photo and put it on the table for Mona to identify. โTake a look. Does she usually eat this?โThaddeus got up and picked up photos from the table and showed them to Mona.Mona looked at the strange pills in the photo. She and Linda often stayed together, and they even lived together some time ago. She was used to Lindaโs habits, but she never knew that Linda would consume such t

When Thaddeus saw that this woman did not listen to him, he dragged her arm and pulled her up from Lindaโs body to stand firmly on the ground.โMona Ortega! Calm down!โHe held Monaโs wrist and responded to her breakdown with a calm face.Mona looked at his eyes which were as dark as deep pools. She did not know how this man managed to not be upset at all. He did not have the slightest emotion.โHow do you expect me to be calm?! Thaddeus, Linda wouldnโt be lying here because of you and me. We owe her!โ Mona screamed in heartbreak. Tears streamed down her cheeks like a river.Thaddeus looked at her calmly, saying nothing as he watched her cry. When she was about to collapse, he steadied her waist from behind, picked her up, and walked outside.โThis was an accident. You donโt need to blame yourself.โ Thaddeusโ voice was firm and gentle. โCalm down, Mona. Would you be this devastated if it was me in there?โMona was stunned. If it was Thaddeus in there? What kind of assumption was

โItโs clear at a glance that youโre rich. How does my Linda know such dignified people?โThaddeus walked over and pulled Mona behind him. He faced the woman and said, โAunty, Linda is in that room.โWhen the woman entered the room, Thaddeus told Mona to go back to the hotel first.โYou go first. Leave this place to me.โโNo, I still have explained the situation to Lindaโs aunt yet.โโWhat do you want to explain?โ Thaddeus knocked Monaโs forehead. โStupid woman. Hurry back before trouble starts.โโWhat do you mean?โ Mona rubbed her head. โWhat trouble?โโThis woman is not a good person. Iโm just waiting for her to open her mouth. It doesnโt matter if she wants money. What Iโm afraid of is that sheโll hurt you.โThaddeus did not explain too much and pushed Monaโs shoulders to get her to go out. He called the driver over and told him to send Mona back to the hotel.โDonโt treat her poorly. Just give her however much she wants. In fact, thereโs no amount thatโs too much. Also, don

โOkay, you can order first and wait for me. Iโll pack up and head over.โMona went to the lobby bar. This hotelโs lobby bar was very unique as it faced the sea. The heavy rain had passed, revealing some sunshine. She sat in the semi-open hall where the warm and humid sea breeze blew.She tightened her tan-colored coat and huddled in her chair to keep warm.Sophie came down from upstairs and found Mona in the crowd in the lobby bar at a glance. People with beautiful temperaments always seemed to glow. They could always catch the eyes of others.She walked over, and the waiter brought two cups of freshly squeezed juice. Sophie looked at the prices on the drink menu. One cup of watermelon juice cost fifteen dollars. She could not help but be tongue-tied. Sure enough, it was poverty that limited her imagination.โSophie, do you think Lindaโs death could be related to Stella?โMona leaned back in her seat with a juice glass in her hand. The bland look on her face was slightly depresse

Mona squinted and stared at the woman for a few seconds before suddenly noticing that one of the womanโs eyes was fake. The woman also seemed to notice that Mona was looking at her and smiled at Mona with narrowed eyes.Mona felt a chill go down her spine and finally realized that the woman was Stella. Stella was looking at her. More accurately, she was stalking her.โSophie!โ Mona walked to the dispensary and looked at the door of the fire escape. Stellaโs figure had disappeared. Mona rubbed her eyes, no longer able to distinguish whether she was hallucinating or if Stella had indeed just appeared in front of her in real life.Sophie heard Monaโs voice and hurriedly rushed over with the medicine. โWhatโs wrong? What happened?โMona pointed to the doorway of the fire escape and told Sophie what she had just seen. โThat must be Stella. I saw her. She was staring at me! She even smiled at me.โSophie was frightened by what Mona said and got goosebumps. She pulled Mona and said sooth

Thaddeus was also shocked by her reaction, but he immediately held her in his arms and comforted her softly, โItโs me. Donโt be scared.โMona felt the warm and firm embrace behind her, and the tight strings wrapping around her finally relaxed. She looked back at Thaddeus and asked, โHave the matters in the police station been dealt with?โโYes, she ran away after I gave her the money.โMona was surprised. โShe ran?โโItโs like she was selling her daughter. Lindaโs aunt stopped caring about her after taking the money. Weโll take care of the funeral.โ Thaddeus picked up the glass of water on the table, took a large sip, and turned back to continue discussing with Mona.โYouโre her best friend, so you should know her preferences best. How should we handle her funeral?โThaddeusโ tone was very gentle and slightly heavy when he asked this question. He stared straight into Monaโs eyes, not wanting to miss any of her reactions.โShe said she had never been to the sea.โ Mona thought abo

โBut you wonโt be by my side all the time.โโIโll arrange for bodyguards in plain clothes to travel with you and protect you and the children.โ As Thaddeus spoke, he took out his phone and tapped on the screen to give orders to his men.โTheyโre on their way now and will arrive early tomorrow morning. As for the tracking device you mentioned, thatโs something that youโll have to eat. What if the ingredients of the pill arenโt good for Timmy?โThaddeusโ large palm covered Monaโs lower abdomen. It was his seed that he had to wait nine months to meet. It was wonderful just thinking about it.โYouโre very clever and obedient today.โ Thaddeus lay on the bed and pulled Mona to lie on his side. He rubbed his chin against her head like he was teasing a cute pet cat. โI like you like this.โMona yawned, feeling a little tired. The past two days had been very long, and she felt that too many things had happened. It was like everything was flashing past her mind. She even felt like she was i

The couple was tired after a time of bonding, and they lay on the wicker chair, closing their eyes before slipping into dreamland. Sometime later, Thaddeus felt a chill and opened his eyes. His T-shirt was wet, and Bobby and Millie were spraying water at him with water guns. The youngest child was nearby too in her stroller. She suckled on a pacifier and watched the bustle. โWhereโs your mommy?โ Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. โFreeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.โ Acting like the boss, Millie pointed her massive water gun at her daddy. Thaddeus had indulged his eldest daughter so much that the girl would only have things her way. Nevertheless, Thaddeus played along since it was only a game. He knew his children well. Millie took after Mona and was shrewd. Still, Millie would be on her best behavior when in public. โHurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.โ Millie poked

It was a cooling breeze for the Summer as flowers bloomed in the garden of Fontaine Residence. Mona rested on a wicker chair under the wine arbor, holding in hand the latest issue of the weekly design magazine, with her face on the cover. In the photo, she held a trophy up on the stage of a design competition, standing out amidst the radiant background. Since the birth of her youngest, Mona took a month off for rest before picking up her passion again and returning to the world of design. Recently, she won first place in an international design competition and found fame. Mona was happy with her life and enjoyed the rich and peaceful state of things. She had time to herself for once during the weekend, so she found a quiet spot to enjoy time alone while the kids had a nap. The sunlight shone over Mona through the leaves, basking her in warmth. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes for a nap. Thaddeus walked out of the house and saw the woman enjoying the moment of bliss. The t

โMommy, did the baby kick you today?โ Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Monaโs belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommyโs stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. โThe baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?โ โYeah. The baby is kicking.โ Mona affectionately caressed her belly. The fetus had been kicking and rolling a lot more lately, so she could not get much sleep. The tall and strong man drew near and looked tenderly at Mona. His husky voice lingered in Monaโs ear. โWerenโt you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. Itโll arrive tonight.โ โYay.โ Mona was gleeful. Since the beginning of her pregnancy, she had become quite fussy and craved the strangest food. She wanted caviar from Japan, cookies from France, and strawberries from the highlands. Anything she asked for would be transported fresh to the house the next day.The man had taken good care of her during her en
Clingy Loveย ย ย Chapter 996
โNo. I wonโt let myself go.โ The man huffed heavily after finishing his sit-ups. Then, he rolled out of bed and got changed in the walk-in closet. Mona stared at the manโs well-toned back, gasping at his body upkeep. People would probably have a hard time believing he was a father of three. With that in mind, Mona became aware of a potential threat. She got up and drew close to the man. โYouโre responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.โ Thaddeus straightened his tie. โAlright. I can do that. I want to be present in the babyโs life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. Iโll handle Bobby and Millieโs school run, okay?โ The man pinched Monaโs face dotingly. โNow youโre talking. Are you heading out?โ Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. โYeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.โ โI wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.โ Mona walked out to retrieve a

Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeusโ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri

The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. โSo you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?โ It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. โHand over the camera!โ โThereโs nothing in the camera. Besides, itโs my personal property. Why should I give it to you?โ โYou clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say thereโs nothing.โ Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. โYouโre pregnant. Think about the child.โ Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. โWhy do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.โ Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeusโ legs and smiled dryly. โWhat happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?โ Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi

With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. โI wonโt attend any media interviews before the election, but I wonโt disappear from the public eye either. I donโt want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.โ Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

โItโs okay. Thatโs normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since itโs a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, youโll be back to running in no time.โ Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. โLeave.โ Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. โCan you leave? I need some time alone,โ Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. โOkay. Iโll be right outside if you need me.โ It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the manโs vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions. Instead of doing n
