Thaddeus glanced at the woman by his side, assured that she was doing well. He then pulled a long face and stared at the man who went after Mona. He questioned, “What did you chase after her for?” The man took stock of Thaddeus’ expensive taste in clothes. Intimidated by his commanding presence, the man backed down a little in confronting Mona. “She hit me. Half of my face is swollen,” the man whined as if Thaddeus was the father of the offending daughter while he tattled to the father as the victim of bullying. “Did you hit him?” Thaddeus lowered her head and asked Mona in a soft voice, not putting the blame on her at all. “I can’t believe he’s the one complaining. He started it, so he deserves a beating.” Mona stared daggers at the man. Thaddeus furrowed his brows and reached out to hold Mona’s hands to rub between his palms. “Your hands must be hurting. I’m only a phone away. Just leave this to me the next time.” Mona was dumbstruck, and so was the man standing in the

“Are you saying that Bobby has a crush in preschool?” Mona cut Thaddeus off mid-sentence and eagerly asked in the restaurant.Thaddeus pulled out a napkin and reached out to wipe the bits of food on the corner of Mona’s lips. He patiently explained, “You always get ahead of yourself whenever it comes to the kids. Just let me finish.” Putting down her cutlery, Mona quietly looked Thaddeus in the eye and gave her full attention. Once Thaddeus gave an account of what he had seen at the preschool, she let out a sigh of relief. “It sounds like Bobby cares a lot about his classmate. I feel bad for the girl, Megan. Why don’t we invite her to the house for dinner? My heart goes out to her.” Mona was sympathetic to Megan’s situation at home as it invoked her feelings as a mother. She wanted to give Megan some help the best she could. “Sure. I’m sure our son will be happy if you’re glad to do that. You have no idea how much he likes the girl.” Thaddeus made the decision for his son. “

Ben took note of Mona’s plan and immediately looked alive. Snapping his fingers, he said, “Alright. Let’s go with your plan. I’ll get ready to go in the next two days.” Mona balled up her fist and made an encouraging gesture. “Cheer up! I believe everything will get better.” “Yes. What about the issue from across the street?” “Leave it to me. They can sue me all they like. How can they twist the story after stealing my stuff? Surely, justice will prevail.” Ben echoed her sentiment, “I know, right? You must let me know if those people give you hell again. I’ll stand up for you.” “Sure. I’ll tell you if anything happens. Go on and finish your lunch.” Rising to her feet, Mona circled around the studio and went to the second floor. This was the space for the designers. Ben had jokingly said that Mona was the lead designer and that they could hire a few people to help her out on the second floor. He even poked fun that the second floor was reserved for Mona’s harem. Past the b

As a girl, Millie could pick up on the most subtle shifts in her environment. Plus, she easily felt insecure due to the absence of a father in the first years of her life. Thaddeus had spoken with a child psychologist, so he knew the importance of establishing a sense of security for the kids. Hence, Thaddeus had been keeping an eye open to detect any mood changes in Millie. Having received comfort from Thaddeus, Millie happily nestled in his arms. Her face beamed. Mona watched the sweet moment between the father and daughter as Jennifer’s words came into her mind. Jennifer wanted Mona and the two kids to disappear from Thaddeus’ life. However, the kids had bonded with the man. It would hurt Thaddeus and the kids to leave again… The dinner carried on with laughter and joy, and nobody noticed that Mona was secretly worried about something… The activity after dinner was what the kids had been looking forward to. It was time for snowmen and fireworks. Dressed in thick down

Mona was shocked. Did Thaddeus not tell Grandpa where he was going? Truth be told, it had been a few days since she saw the man. Could Thaddeus have left for a trip to Swertland as the kids mentioned? Mona was frank. “How would I know if you don’t, Grandpa? He must be busy with work.” Master Fontaine was disappointed with the answer. He was taking the kids to Oakfield just so the couple could have some alone time together. Well, that went well. Of all the times Thaddeus could go missing, it had to be now. It was infuriating. “I’ll call him to ask him what’s up. All the work is only an excuse. Does he think he’s the president of a country with that busy schedule of his? Even a president has a life.” Master Fontaine ran his mouth as he pulled out his phone to dial Thaddeus’ number. Before he could rip one into Thaddeus, the busy tone interrupted the call. Master Fontaine called the number again, but he was hung up on. Steamed up, Master Fontaine threw a fit. Mona was unab
