Semua Bab Wrong Ride, Right Lover: Bab 381 - Bab 390

Monique wished time would stop at this moment.However, dreams were always short-lived.Time awaited no man.The alarm rang again and disturbed the morning peace. Ring! Ring!The alarm tone was frustrating.It was the first time Monique felt the urge to throw her phone away.The sentiment was shared by Henry.Monique switched off the alarm. When she saw what was on her phone screen, the calm from before disappeared.It was already 8am and she was going to be late.She remembered setting her alarm for 7am. Why was it ringing an hour later?Monique quickly sat up.It was her fourth day of work. She was already late on her second day and absent on her third. There was no way she could be late again.Her coworkers and manager already had a bad impression of her.She rolled out of bed and promptly made her way to the bathroom.Henry was amused when he saw her rushing.He elegantly crawled out of bed and went to the room next door to freshen up.By the time Monique was done,

Monique bit her lip. She did not want Henry to go to work with an empty stomach. She told him,“Finish your food, I’ll wait.”Henry gave her a blank stare and urged, “Let’s go!”The woman was continuously pestering him to be quick.After he lost his appetite, she wanted him to continue eating?What did she think he was?Being annoyed, he said. “I need another 30 minutes to finish.”30 minutes?Impossible!Monique regretted her words.She should have just let him starve.“No way!” Monique retorted. She watched as Henry’s expression darkened.The pair of cold and black eyes locked onto Monique. Did she make him angry?Her survival instincts kicked in and she gave him a toothy grin. She said, “I mean, I’ll take Angel to school, you can slowly enjoy your breakfast! No rush!”The option upsetted Angel. The little girl frowned and complained, “No! I want both Daddy and Mommy to send me to school!”One could hear the determination in her juvenile voice.“But Angel, Mommy’s going

Angel raised her chubby arm and covered her face with an open palm. Her eyes twinkled in faux surprise as she smiled.It was all thanks to Angel’s sacrifice and perseverance.As long as her mother gave in to her father, they would be a happy family.When Henry released Monique, her face was as red as a baboon’s butt. She did not meet his eyes.She looked down and was met with Angel’s knowing stare.Monique raised her head and saw Mrs. Lawson giving her an affectionate smile.She faked her composure and said, “Then…Let’s go to school…”She took Angel’s hand and turned to leave.“I don’t have my bag!” Angel said.With her escape plan foiled, Monique stopped in her tracks. Henry noticed she was avoiding his gaze and grinned.Mrs. Lawson brought the school bag to Angel. Then, Monique took her daughter’s hand on one side while Henry took the other.Together, the three of them walked out of the house.It was not the first time Monique felt that they were a family.On Angel’s fir

Henry Moore was not her husband. However, during Angel’s kindergarten registration, Monique listed Henry’s as the father—she did it for Angel’s sake.There was no response from Henry. Monique then gave Miss Christine an awkward smile and said, “Thanks.”Monique did not shut the idea down. Instead, she reveled in the thought of having Henry Moore as her husband.“Say goodbye to your Mommy and Daddy,” Miss Christine told Angel.“Bye bye!” Angel waved her hand at Monique and Henry. She reminded them before they parted, “Remember to pick me up later!”Henry and Monique walked back to the car and Monique got into the driver’s seat.She drove faster than usual as she was running late for work. She kept an eye on Henry who was seated at the back. The morning sun shone onto the man who was focused on his phone.Monique remembered the first time she witnessed him driving at night.Her life was turned upside down after meeting Henry.It was a blessing in disguise. She did not want to th

Mandy read through the chairman’s email first thing in the morning.The marriage agreement was between Henry Moore and Monique Xander.Soon, Monique Xander would become Chairman Moore’s wife.It was earth-shattering news.As Mandy skimmed through the document, she realized the chairman was truly fond of Monique.The rules in the agreement bound her to him. Monique was not allowed to contact other men and return home late. She needed to give Henry a kiss and bid him goodnight every day. There were two pages worth of trivial rules which surprised Mandy.If the chairman decided to end the relationship, Monique would be compensated with $3,000,000,000 and Angel would be taken care of. There were other undisclosed compensations.My goodness.Who would choose to leave the chairman? He had the looks and the money to make up for the fact that he was sometimes demanding and moody. Mandy noticed Monique getting closer to Chairman Moore. It was a feat few could achieve.Henry acknowledge
