Monique Xander usually helped out in a luxurious café during the earlier parts of the day and took over a cab at a car rental center in the afternoon before picking Little Nomi up. Little Nomi would usually sit on the passenger seat and take naps if she was tired. That was how their usual days went, tiring but wholesome.

Monique Xander was just about to hop into her cab when she heard someone calling her.

“Miss Xander, you’re here.” The loud voice extended the word ‘Miss’ on purpose, which caused passersby to look over.

It was a bald 40-year-old man known as Old Xavier.

Old Xavier was the car rental center owner’s relative. He would tease her every time he saw her. Monique Xander always avoided him whenever she saw him.

However, he was standing right behind her car. There was no way that she could hide this time.

Since he was her boss’s relative, she did not want to offend him. Monique Xander replied chirpily, “Yeah.”

“Look, you’re a young lady, getting some other jobs can earn you so much more money while giving you pleasure at the same time. We might even go support you since you’re a colleague.” Staring at Monique Xander’s fair face, Old Xavier spoke and let out a sickening whistle.

The onlookers started snickering.

Although Monique Xander was not an earth-shattering goddess, she was still beautiful. Besides, she brought Little Nomi up by herself and she always took night shifts. It was not a surprise that the people from the car rental center had sick thoughts about her.

The corners of Monique Xander’s eyes twitched.

Earn more money and give pleasure! Of course, she knew what he meant.

“Brother Xavier, those grandmas on the street will suit you more. Also, aren’t you scared of your wife?” Monique Xander replied smilingly.

‘Even if I am to become an escort, you wouldn’t be worthy. You’d only be fit for old escort managers.’

Old Xavier was known for being terrified of his wife and everyone knew that. The car rental center was owned by his wife’s relative to be more precise.

Old Xavier clearly understood the meaning behind her words. He laughed dryly but did not reply.

Monique Xander wanted to leave this place as soon as she could. She entered the car and left, her eyes filled with desolation.

Monique Xander always heard people gossiping about her as she had raised Little Nomi up by herself without a father figure.

“A young girl bringing up a baby by herself? She must’ve seduced someone else’s husband and gave birth to an illegitimate child.”

“Perhaps she fooled around a lot and doesn’t even know who the girl’s father is.”

“Young girls nowadays don’t love and cherish themselves at all.”

She was already used to people’s incessant gossip and snickers, yet she could still feel hurt by them.

“Stormchase is accepting your request.”

Monique Xander accepted a request as usual and checked on the address. It was Marriott International.

Monique Xander was astonished and thought of the man from the previous night. He had great stature and a sculpted, though indifferent, face.

When did she turn into such a fangirl? She had been steadily losing interest in men for the longest time!

It was perhaps the elegantly apathetic aura he exuded, it was so strong that she could never forget him after just one glance.

“Mommy, who are you fangirling about?” Little Nomi stared at the fangirling Monique Xander with her head tilted.

Little Nomi understood Monique Xander the most. Her thoughts were all well-read by Nomi.

‘Fangirling?’ Monique Xander rolled her eyes and replied jokingly, ”It’s another request from Marriott International. Do you think it’s the man you called daddy that day?”

People walking in and out of Marriott International were all elites who usually had their drivers or their own car. It was pretty uncommon to get a request from there.

“Really?” Nomi’s bright eyes were gleaming with excitement.

She was really excited. She could not see his face clearly because she was sleeping that night. All she saw was his tall and strong figure.

Gestured for her to keep quiet, Monique Xander took her phone out and made a call.

“Hello, this is your Stormchase driver. My car is blue with the car plate number A2219. I am now near East Road, I’ll be there in 10 minutes.” Monique Xander’s voice was gentle and melodious, as clear as a bell.

“Okay,” A magnetic male voice replied on the other end; deep and cool.

Monique Xander’s eyes and heart throbbed. The indifferent voice was so cold that she was almost freezing. It had to be him.

She was just joking around and she did not expect it to be true. She could feel a strong tension the moment she heard his voice. She felt like she would get executed if she was late for even a minute.

She did not hesitate for even a second and drove toward Marriott International.

She could recognize him walking out of Marriott International’s entrance the moment she arrived. His tall and smart figure seemed to be glowing. With his white suit and blue shirt, he looked out of this world and even more charming than a celebrity.

Monique Xander got out of the car hurriedly, bowed, and opened the door for him.

“Mommy, he’s too good-looking,” Little Nomi shrieked with her brow raised.

It was no wonder that her mother would fangirl over him. He was the most good-looking person Nomi had ever seen, no doubt!

Monique Xander dared not look into his dark and deep eyes as she was afraid of getting hooked.

On the other hand, Little Nomi was not worried at all.

Henry Moore noticed Nomi’s delicate rosy cheeks that resembled a ripe apple in autumn the moment he got into the car. Her thin and long brows were similar to that of a doll’s. She was staring straight at him with her huge beady eyes.

Not many dared to stare at him in such a short distance. That girl was clearly not afraid of strangers at all.

Henry Moore recognized that he was in the same cab as last time the moment he looked at the little girl. It was even playing Bandari like before.

He remembered this cab well as he fell asleep in it last time although he had insomnia.

He even asked his secretary to look for the song called Snowdream when he got home. However, his insomnia remained although he played the song for the whole night.

He sat on the car arrogantly with his long legs folded naturally.

“Daddy, you’re handsome.” He fitted her imaginative father figure perfectly.

“...” The corners of Henry Moore’s eyes twitched. What did he just hear?

‘Daddy? I am a single bachelor living the fast life!’

“...” Monique Xander’s lips twitched as she felt a chill down her spine. Beads of cold sweat were forming on her forehead…

She gave Little Nomi a warning glare.

‘What kind of daughter did I raise? How can she just call anyone daddy?’

Facepalm! Embarrassed and speechless, she could only turn her head over and force a dry laugh. “Well… Excuse me… This is my daughter.”

‘Her daughter is calling a stranger daddy, is she a single mother?’

Henry Moore threw her a sideways glance. She had fair and smooth skin without any makeup, her tiny mouth looked as delicate as a budding flower on her blushing face. She looked intelligent and sophisticated. Her pastel t-shirt and denim jacket made her look even more lovely and sweet.

Although she was wearing common clothing which showed that she was not from a distinct social background, her unique feminine beauty and radiance were not affected at all.

Instead of the little girl’s mother, she looked more like her sister.

Henry Moore raised a brow in response.

Another deafening silence. Little Nomi kept her mouth shut after noticing her mother’s sharp glare because she knew that she was angry.

Monique Xander glimpsed at the man’s pronounced profile in the backseat from the corner of her eyes. She looked at his clear forehead, tall nose bridge, and noticed that his eyes were slightly shut as he pursed his lips out of habit. He looked as arrogant and unbothered as ever.

He was just sitting there casually yet the distinctive aura he gave off was intimidating.

She lowered the volume of her phone’s app notification and turned up the volume for the Bandari music.

The man behind her seemed to be exhausted, he fell asleep once again.

“Sir, you have reached your destination.”

Monique Xander felt as if she was dreaming. The quiet man as cold as ice had what seemed like a smile on his face.

He opened his eyes slowly. He could not believe that he fell asleep again. Henry Moore raised a brow as a hint of disbelief flashed past his eyes.

He opened the door and got out of the car ever so elegantly.

He threw the driver’s seat a gaze when Monique Xander was looking over. Their eyes locked.

Her bright eyes were like a mountain stream, pure and untainted. She looked so pure that he wanted to pollute her himself.

“What’s your name?” His tone was cold, his stunning face expressionless as ever.

“My mommy is called Monique Xander, she’s the best woman in the world.” Little Nomi answered with her squeaky voice, corners of her mouth lifted with pride.

Monique Xander’s face was blushed red within seconds. Her daughter was proudly showing her off.

She drove and left hurriedly.

Monique Xander was very rarely affected by men. She felt as if she was tossed around in a tornado. Perhaps that man’s aura was too strong.

Looking at his call log, Henry Moore dialed his secretary’s number.

“Monique Xander with phone number 181*****. Find out everything you can about this woman.”

    “How are you already giving me the cold shoulder when you’re this young?” Monique Xander could not help rolling her eyes.Even she had to admit that there were times when Little Nomi seemed smarter than her.“Aunt Winnie just moved here but she seemed really nice. I noticed from the window that she has been helping some elders carry their things upstairs. She also took care of a few stray cats downstairs,” Little Nomi explained.She did not knock on a stranger’s door by random, of course. Her instincts told her that Aunt Winnie from next door was a kind elder.Little Nomi had suffered hardships since young. Despite her quirkiness, she was very observant compared to other children.“Sit here and wait for me.

Everything was already out of her hands when Monique was nowhere to be found after the photographer came.Monique was the one who went to a savage’s room. She had nothing to do with that.“I have the footage of you bringing me upstairs.” Monique could only bluff her at the time, it was impossible to have footage from such a long time ago.“I’m not telling then.” Yvonne could only stare at Monique with anger due to her threat. “You will not bring up what happened in the past. Do not blame me for what happens next if you dare to speak in front of dad!”Yvonne was finally subdued. She was worried that her father might break her limbs if he learned that she drugged Monique.“You’ve reached.

    “We’re going to your grand-uncle’s house for a visit later. Mommy bought the bangle as a gift for your grand-aunt since it’s been a while since I last went back.” Monique Xander held Little Nomi’s chubby hand as they walked out of the jewelry store.“Grand-uncle?” Little Nomi’s huge sparkly eyes on her chubby face were filled with curiosity as she looked at Monique. She heard her mother mention him once or twice, but she never met him before.“Yes, your grand-uncle is my uncle. He took me in when I was young and treated me very well.” Monique lowered her gaze to meet Little Nomi’s as she explained with a gentle smile on her pale face.Her heart was filled with warmth when she thought of how kind her uncle was to her when she was young.Little Nomi heaved a sigh with her tiny mouth.

    Little Nomi then noticed a few waitresses, each holding a silver tray filled with exquisite delicacies, walking in their direction.She had a feeling that they were walking to their table.Monique Xander noticed them too. Indeed, those waitresses walked up to them and stopped beside their table before unloading one tray after another onto their table.Their small table became fully loaded with various delicacies.Even the boy from the next table was amazed. He had been to this restaurant many times but his father never ordered so many desserts for him. Some of them were even exclusive ones that he had never tried before.Monique was so shocked that her mouth fell wide open. She only ordered a mango pancake and a small strawberry milkshake. She could never afford all these.“There must be a mistake, I didn’t order these,” Monique stood up instantly. “I only ordered a mango pancake and a strawberry milkshake.”A beautiful woman stood in front of them in a different uniform compare

    Gu Linbei couldn't sense the mixed feelings in Gu Shaohuan's heart.He handed over the results of his efforts in the morning to the Hui family."From today on, the Gu family has nothing to do with me anymore. I have nothing to do with the Gu family anymore."At this moment, Gu Linbei was secretly glad that he was not a good-for-nothing rich second generation in order to prove to his family with Henry.He had secretly saved up his personal savings so that he could speak so confidently in front of Gu Shaohuan at this moment.Gu Shaohuan thought that Gu Linbei would suffer a lot after leaving the Gu family.This kind of revenge just happened to calm down.He didn't expect Gu Linbei to appear in front of him in such a powerful state.Gu Shaohuan didn't want to admit this difference, so he snorted coldly. "You have today's results because of the Gu family. What's there to be proud of now?"Gu Linbei had expected this, as if he had already guessed that Gu Shaohuan would say that."

    After Gu Linbei got the computer, he turned off the page of the Gu Group internal web.This was also the reason why Gu Shaohuan no longer insisted.Gu Linbei sent a message, and soon a document came from the other side.After calling Gu Shaohuan over, he opened the document.It was the three companies that had been acquired by the Gu family in the morning and other shares."You're the one who's dealing with the Gu family?!"Gu Shaohuan's first reaction was that Gu Linbei was the one dealing with Gu Group, not that Gu Linbei wanted to help the Gu family.In the face of Gu Shaohuan's reaction, Gu Linbei's first feeling was not anger or disappointment, but relief.Fortunately, this man was not his father.Gu Linbei didn't explain. Instead, he called in all the members of Gu Shao Huan's team."Mr. Gu, he is the mysterious buyer who helped us stabilize the stock market!"He was so excited that he almost called Gu Linbei the son of the Gu family.However, both Gu Shaohuan and Gu

Have you done it?"Gu Shaohuan had been paying close attention to the curve on the computer.He didn't notice the secretary's expression when she came in and said that Gu Zihang wanted to say something when he came back.When Gu Shaohuan finished asking, there was no response.He raised his head and saw Gu Linbei coming back with Gu Zihang."What are you doing here?" Gu Shaohuan was furious when he saw the son that the Gu family had raised for 20 years.How proud Gu Linbei had been in the past, how much he hated him now.Gu Linbei didn't care about Gu Shaohuan's tone at all.
