Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 168
How could Monique forget about yesterday? The bruises on her body had yet to heal. Luckily, the fall weather allowed for long sleeves, which shielded the purple and black patches on her skin.The mention of yesterday irked her. “You… You…”‘Bastard, savage, pervert.’The string of curses went on and on in her mind, but she dared not speak them out loud.The image of Monique gritting her teeth in anger pleased Henry Moore to no end. This call had brightened his day significantly.Amusement danced across his features as he asked lazily, “What did you want?”Monique tempered her rage and said, “I wasn’t the one who called.”In another way, she was saying she would never contact him.Henry’s dark eyes narrowed. She was one stubborn woman.“You sure?”Monique could sense the threat in his voice. She explained, “Angel wanted me to call you.”“You still dialed my number,” Henry stated matter-of-factly, the haughtiness in his tone unmistakable.Monique rolled her eyes in exasperati

Henry Moore laid down in Monique’s bed in the Moore manor and fell asleep with a satisfied smile on his face.*** The next morning, Monique was awoken by a series of knocks on her door. As she rubbed the sleep out from her eyes, she suddenly recalled the conversation she had with Henry last night.Henry Moore!She reached for her phone and saw the call was already disconnected. She massaged her temple. She could not believe she fell asleep on a call.How embarrassing!The loud and impatient knocks on her door showed no signs of stopping. The barrage even woke Angel up.“Who is it? Give me a minute!” Monique shouted.She crawled out of bed and went to the door.Standing on the other side of the door was a familiar face. The pretty woman wore makeup made her more mature for her age. Yvonne Xander plastered on a fake smile and said, “My father has prepared an outfit for you.”“I have my own clothes,” Monique replied. She was wary of any gifts from the family.“Father sends his

Yvonne was taken aback by Monique’s sudden outburst. This was her first time witnessing Monique making a stand; the woman had always been subservient.By the time Yvonne had woken from her stupor, Monique was already downstairs instructing Angel to stay close to her granduncle while she was away.Zephyrus studied Monique as she walked down the stairs. The floral-patterned top and the wide slacks were outdated, but by tucking in her top, Monique was able to pass it off as fashionable. Paired with her short hair, she looked like a capable woman.Zephyrus nodded in approval. Something caught his eye and he frowned. He would address it later. “Let’s have breakfast.”Monique noticed her uncle’s line of sight and tugged the collar of her top so that it covered the bruises. She bit her lip and explained, “I fell and accidentally hurt myself.”Zephyrus responded with a slight nod. He figured it must have been from the kidnapping.A moment later, Yvonne joined them. She eyed Monique from

Monique nodded. She would at least meet the guy before leaving.“Can you at least give me the guy’s number?” Monique said. The guy might decide not to show up and she refused to waste her time waiting.She did not trust Yvonne and her tricks.Yvonne smirked and said, “Oh? Yesterday you were so against the idea of matchmaking, yet now you want his number?”Monique took out her old Nokia and glanced at Yvonne. The younger woman complied for once and dictated the phone number before leaving.With Yvonne gone, Monique waited at her table for some time. She nearly fell asleep waiting when a man approached. He was approximately 1.6m tall and sported a curtain hairstyle. He was a dull-looking man, dressed in a drab business suit with a pair of black-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.The man’s expression conveyed his unwillingness to be there, but he still greeted her politely. “Monique Xander, I presume?”Monique was startled by the stranger, but quickly nodded her conf

Monique looked down at the baggy clothes she was wearing. She could not refute the man’s accusation.It was Yvonne’s choice of wardrobe, not hers. Her cousin wanted her to look unpresentable for the date.“You tricked me!” the man shouted accusingly.Just as Monique opened her mouth to explain, the man grabbed his cup and hurled its contents toward her. The coffee splashed onto her face and dripped into her clothes. It was terribly uncomfortable.Monique was speechless.Her date then stormed out of the cafe.Monique did her best to wipe most of the coffee out of her face before heading to the washroom to clean up.In the washroom, she stared blankly at the coffee-stained face in the mirror.She studied the remnants of coffee on her face, arms and torso.Mrs. Zackery’s nephew stormed out of the cafe, anger bubbling inside him. That woman was below his standards. Was this a set up?At this moment, his phone chimed.He unlocked his phone. The incoming message read, “I forgot to

Henry Moore was happy to hear Angel’s voice. “I’m working. What’s the matter? Miss me?”Angel pouted and said, “Yes, I miss you.” She was still debating if she should tell the truth. Would Daddy really kick them out?‘But Mommy’s been gone for so long and she isn’t answering her phone,’ Angel thought.“Come home soon then. Where’s your mom?” Henry asked.“Mommy… Mommy…” Angel hesitated. “Daddy, promise you won’t get mad?”The words elicited a response from Henry. Did something happen to that woman?“Okay, go on.”“Mommy went for a matchmade date this morning. She’s still out,” Angel said timidly.“What?” Anger coursed through his veins and he hung up the phone. He walked out of his office and growled. “Shaun!”The feral growl sounded as if it came from the pits of hell.Shaun threw down his work at hand and grabbed his phone before rushing to Henry’s side.The chiseled face of Henry Moore was contorted into an expression of cold ange. The veins on his forehead clearly stood

”I don’t know. I dropped her off at the cafe and came straight home,” Yvonne grumbled.She did not like the fact that her father was worried about Monique.“Are you sure?” Zephyrus asked again. It was getting late and Monique’s whereabouts were unknown. He was expecting some good news today and the opposite happened instead.Yvonne’s eyes widened as she said vehemently, “I don’t know where a woman like her would go!”Zephyrus felt like slapping his daughter.At this moment, Monique walked into the house. She saw Zephyrus’s raised arm and asked, “Uncle, what are you doing?”Yvonne turned to Monique with reddened eyes and said, “You’re back!”“What’s happening?” There were more people than usual in the house. What was going on?All the heads turned to face Monique.Among the crowd, she noticed the man from that morning.“Why are you here?” Monique said to the bespectacled man.The man eyed Monique up and down. Was this the same woman from earlier?She looked nothing like the

Monique staggered back and her hand found purchase on the door handle. She was used to Siobhan’s scolding, but these words cut deeper than the usual.Yes, her uncle and aunt did not owe her anything. They had no obligation to take care of her.It was likely her grandfather’s last wish for them to feed and shelter her.Monique was an unwanted child. A burden. She should not have come back. It was a mistake to yearn for that familial love.Zephyrus pointed at Siobhan and shouted, “You shut your mouth!” The women in this household were going to drive him mad one day.Siobhan did not back down. “Oh? Are you going to hit me? Come on!”Before things escalated, Monique screamed at the top of her lungs. “Stop!”If her uncle laid a hand on Siobhan, this incident would forever be a barb in their relationship. It would be a shame for the family to fall apart because of someone like her.Monique kept shaking her head at Zephyrus, hoping he would back down. Tears were blurring her vision
