Clingy Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 711 - チャプター 720

After they went into the house, Mona told Joan everything in a steady stream of words. Joan was furious when she learned the truth. She jumped to her feet to exclaim, “What three wishes is she going on about? That woman is evil! She’s moving into the house with you now, so does it mean she’s sleeping on the same bed with your husband next?” Joan poked Mona’s forehead and added, “Don’t be so dumb. You cannot let others take advantage of you like that.” Mona felt helpless as well. “Joan, Thaddeus’ career is involved, and Ginny Kimball isn’t as simple as she looks. If we don’t fulfill her request, she will escalate the matter and ruin Thaddeus’ reputation. Then, his competitors will get a chance to overtake him.” Joan went silent after she heard Mona’s explanation. After considering the ups and downs of the situation, she felt sorry for Mona and whatever she had to go through. Mona was an understanding girl and the Fontaines were fortunate to have her as a daughter-in-law. “Yo

The tablet had a name engraved on it: Sunny. There was a date beside the name but that was it. Mona counted and realized that the date was around six years ago. Ginny said the house was haunted and that someone had done a ceremony to trap the soul there. Seeing the memorial tablet, the news seemed to be verified. Was the child somehow related to Joan? Was the child Joan’s? Mona saw Joan stare at the memorial tablet blankly. Joan was in shock and disbelief. Then, she grabbed the box that held the ashes of the deceased and held it in her arms as if she was carrying a baby. She held it tightly and started to sing a lullaby to it. “Joan, is Sunny your child?” “Shhh!” Joan looked like she was in a trance. She put her finger at her lips and silenced Mona. “It’s been a long time since I saw Sunny. She’s sleeping. Don’t wake her. Sunny is a scaredy cat.” Mona was speechless. Suddenly, the sky turned dark. She looked outside the window and realized dark clouds shrouded the

On the way back, Mona and Joan still could not calm down. “Mona, tell me, did you really see a girl back there?” “Joan, I’m still very confused. It happened too fast and it was just a flash. I don’t know if I was hallucinating or if I did see a girl.” “But the memorial tablet has Sunny’s name on it.” “Joan, let’s just leave it aside first. Thaddeus is going inside to find out the truth. Maybe there’s something we didn’t understand in there. Let’s just wait for him to come back. Are you frightened as well? Let’s go back into the mansion.” Mona and Joan walked back to the mansion. Then, a tiny figure ran towards Mona and jumped into her embrace. “Mommy! Mommy! I’m scared!” Millie hugged Mona’s leg and nuzzled against her thigh like a puppy. Mona carried the girl up and kissed her puffy cheeks. “Baby, what are you afraid of? Mommy is here. You don’t need to be afraid.” The woman, who had trembled in fear in the abandoned house, transformed into an invincible mother befor

Ginny took her luggage downstairs. When Mona came out from the guest room, she saw Bobby standing next door, crossing his arms and looking cool as he stared in the direction where Ginny went off. He then looked at Mona. “What’s up with that?” Bobby was referring to Ginny’s stay. “As you can see, Aunt Kimball will be staying with us for a while.” “She must have a hidden agenda,” Bobby said with protruded lips and a sour expression. Mona patted the boy’s head. The boy was smarter and more mature than his sister, and he knew what was going on between the adults. “She’s here already. So, let’s just see what we can do. You are a smart boy. You must learn how to protect yourself and your sister. Got it?” “Don’t worry.” Bobby tapped his chest. “Oh, I have a question that I want to ask.” “What is it?” “Mommy, I will give you a surprise soon.” Bobby’s big eyes and expression could barely hide his excitement. He already had a feeling that Baxter and Kendra were his mother’s

Mona was not interested in participating in the power struggle of the wealthy, but she was a part of the family and was forced to be in it. She finally understood what it meant by being helpless. She realized her husband was being caught in an invisible war, and it was closely related to her and her kids’ future. She should side with her husband in this war because she would also be securing her own benefits. With that in mind, Mona quietly went downstairs. Both Bobby and Millie were playing in the living room by themselves whereas Joan was nowhere to be found. Mona looked around but did not see her anywhere. Her heart skipped a beat. Could Joan have gone back to the abandoned house again? “Bobby, watch your sister. I have to go out for a while,” Mona whispered into the boy’s ear. “If Daddy asks where I am, tell him I went out shopping.” Bobby furrowed his brows. “So, where exactly are you going?” “Shopping for groceries.” Mona waved at Bobby and said, “Call me if there
