Semua Bab Clingy Love: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Mona sat alone in the living hall. While she did not fit in with the Fontaines, she did not mind.To kill time, she grabbed a book and started reading. A while later, a loud engine rumbled from the front yard. The servant said, “Madam Eleanor and Master Victor have arrived.” Mona turned to the entrance. A woman in her mid-forties came in. Her illness painted her face pale, and the dark eye circles gave her a tired look. She was Eleanor Fontaine, Thaddeus’s half-sister. It was then that Mona noticed the young man beside Eleanor. He looked rather familiar. The man had also spotted Mona, and he was stunned. His gaze fixated on her face for quite a while. Mona blushed after being stared at so brazenly. Suddenly, she remembered. He was the man who abducted her to the club a few days ago! Eleanor noticed the blank look on her son’s face. She introduced him to Mona, “Victor, that’s Mona, your Uncle Thaddeus’s wife. You should call her Aunt Mona.” Mona got up with a polite

Thaddeus ignored his mother’s screaming. He glared at Victor, unable to suppress the anger boiling in his chest.He switched his glare back to Mona and repeated the question, “Answer me! Who are the kids he’s talking about?” Mona chose silence. She looked down and refused to explain. A moment later, she said, “Is my answer that important to you?” To him, she was just a toy he used to vent his lust. So why would a tool need to explain herself? She was not that important to him. The disappointment in Thaddeus’s eyes grew denser. Amid the awkward silence, the man chose to leave. After Thaddeus left, Eleanor quickly pulled her son away, afraid he would continue his ridiculous act. Mona was then left alone with Jennifer. She glared at Jennifer, who had a delighted smile on her face. “You did that on purpose!” Jennifer crossed her arms and gloated at Mona. “So what if I did? I’m helping you. You two were getting a divorce anyway. Since Thaddeus was having a hard time com

Mona had no idea someone had dissed her after she left Thaddeus. She returned to her work and got busy. After the interview with the e-commerce shop, it was almost noon. She took a ride to the hospital. The first thing she wanted to do now that she had gotten the alimony was to ask for a specialist to treat Millie’s condition. Unfortunately, the doctor informed her that Millie’s condition was rather complex. The odds of the operation being successful were only 40%; if it failed, it would endanger the girl’s life. In other words, the operation was a gamble. In the best case scenario, Millie could grow up healthily; in the worst, she would lose the girl forever. However, if she chose not to treat Millie’s condition, the girl would not make it past ten years old. Mona could not make such a heavy decision in a heartbeat. It was too difficult for her. So she decided to delay the consultation and decided to think it over. She walked out of the hospital, dispirited. When she f

Thaddeus narrowed his eyes. He never realized the woman had such a vivid imagination. Since when did she see him loving another woman? Aside from the scandals, he had been loyal to his marriage with her, mentally or physically. He had never loved or slept with another woman in the past four years. With only a few questions, Mona clearly sensed Thaddeus being defensive and cautious. He really protected the woman well and refused to reveal even a single detail about her. Thaddeus swirled his glass elegantly and looked at her deeply. A long silence later, he said, “All I can say is, since I married you, she hasn’t appeared. I’ve been searching for her for twenty years, and I thought I wouldn’t see her again for the rest of my life.” The sudden realization hit Mona. “Oh, so it’s childhood lovers? You found her and wanted to give her an official title. Is this why you wanted to divorce me?” It was not due to the pressure from his family or her negligence of duty.He wanted

“Right away, sir,” Marcus said. Marcus left the office, leaving Thaddeus alone. Thaddeus could no longer concentrate on work now that he had learned the truth. He stood by the ceiling-to-floor window and peered down the entire city from the twenty-eighth floor. As he recalled his time with Mona, the man spotted even more clues. However, he understood that he was not going to get answers in his mind, so he grabbed his jacket and strode out of the office. “Marcus, I want to know where Mona is staying right now. Give me the address and tell the driver to prepare the car. I want to go there as soon as possible.” When Thaddeus arrived at Mona’s place, the sky was already dark. The car parked in front of the entrance of the apartment. He looked up at Mona’s unit and saw nothing but dark windows. It seemed no one was home. He lit a cigarette and waited, but no one returned.The man came with questions of his own, and he would not be able to rest until he got his answers.H
