Bobby released Millie and bent down to pick up the money the lady tossed early. He counted. There were a total of twenty thousand! He remembered seeing a branded bag in his mother’s shopping cart the other day. With the money, he could buy a present for his mother! Bobby kept the money in his bag before he brought his sister out of the ward. “Come on. Let’s go avenge Mommy!” While Mona was away doing the discharge procedures, the kids found the lady’s new ward. Bobby knocked on the door, and the lady opened it. Looking at Bobby’s handsome and adorable face, the lady asked, “Who are you supposed to be?” Bobby flickered his eyes at the lady as if he was flirting with her.It worked! The frostiness on the lady’s face softened, and she curled her lips. “Handsome boy, are you here to visit Melanie? Come on in.” Bobby wore an innocent look on his face and smiled. “Auntie, can you squat down a bit? I have something to tell you.” Intrigued, the lady asked, “What is this
Thaddeus went to the chief nurse and asked where Millie went. Pressured by the man’s intimidation, she stammered as she revealed everything to him. The man was displeased at what he heard. “Where’s Millie’s doctor?” “Dr. Hancock is currently out on a trip,” the chief nurse said in a trembling voice. Thaddeus curled his lips as his eyes glared. “I told him to take good care of Millie! After what happened, I believe this is your negligence of duty. You won’t be needed if you can’t do your job well.” While the chief nurse was stunned, the man left. Looking at the man’s frosty figure, the chief nurse’s heart sank. It was just a single mother with two kids. Why was the man so concerned about her? Thaddeus walked out of the hospital and stood under the starry night. His handsome face had a layer of frost to it. He had kept that woman by his side for four years and raised her like a princess. She had never been mistreated. The only one who could make her cry was him, and tha
“You just need to find out what’s going on in his family, Mommy. I feel that Uncle Victor’s mommy seems to like to control him,” Bobby added. His observation was right. Uncle Victor had not gone to the hospital these past few days, so something must have happened at home. Mona did not know whether to cry or laugh. How old was her son? Why did he keep worrying about adults’ affairs? “Alright. Stop imagining things, and go to sleep.” While her son was not paying attention, Mona held his face and kissed him. “Mommy, you sneaked up on me.” “I gave birth to you, so what if I kissed you? Hmph. Go to sleep!” After saying that, Mona quickly turned off the light and went under the blanket to sleep with her two little babies beside her, breathing steadily and fast asleep. Mona let out a soft sigh of relief. ‘Marrying Victor? Forget about it.’ * The next afternoon, Mona went to pick up her children from school and went to the supermarket on the way. As she pushed her shopp
After Mona and Thaddeus were done shopping in the supermarket, Mona looked at the shopping cart that was filled with goods as they checked out. There were things she needed, and there were also things that belonged to Thaddeus— everything had been mixed. Would it make her look petty if she asked for them to pay separately? The total amount would probably be considerable, and she was reluctant to pay for everything. Thaddeus saw through her thoughts right away. He took out his card from his wallet and threw it at the cashier. If a man and a woman were out together, how could the woman pay for the bill? Mona turned to look at the man and smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Mr. Fontaine. I’ll make you a big meal later.” Thaddeus bent over calmly and took out the things in the shopping cart. When he lowered his head, his lips unknowingly curled up, even he did not realize it. The cashier scanned the product codes while looking at the attractive man and woman in front of him. He looked
Bobby was baffled. He scratched his head, not knowing what he did wrong. Millie looked at Mona and said seriously, “Bobby made someone cry again today. He received five small red flowers again because every teacher gave him one. Johnny wasn’t happy about it because he used to be the one who gets five flowers, so he cried sadly. Mommy, don’t you think Bobby isn’t humble at all?” Although Millie was complaining, she sounded proud. Mona was relieved, and she pinched her daughter’s chubby little face. Millie was not complaining about Bobby. She was showing off that she had such an awesome brother. Bobby beamed as well. He was shy from being praised. Thaddeus leaned against his car and crossed his long legs. He looked casual and easy. He stared at Mona and the two children from afar. This was his first time seeing the glow of motherhood on Mona’s face. Thaddeus could tell that Mona liked children very much. She had been compromising with him all these years for her two kids.
Mona was making dinner in the kitchen. Thaddeus removed his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves. He walked calmly toward the fridge and took out a cold can of soft drink and drank it on his own. Thaddeus had a leisurely posture. He leaned his long body against the door and squinted his narrow eyes slightly as he watched Mona cook. He rarely paid attention to his daily routine and had even forgotten that she knew how to cook. “You know how to cook. Not bad.” Mona turned her head to look at the man and pouted. In fact, in their first year of marriage, Mona would prepare a table of food every day, waiting for Thaddeus to get off work for dinner. However, he had many social engagements and came home late. He usually skipped dinner and ate her instead. “Hiss. It’s hot.” Mona was not paying attention. The oil in the frying pan splashed on the back of her hand, causing her to subconsciously scream. Thaddeus was startled. He walked over and asked, “Are you okay?” “I’m fine.
Thaddeus stopped moving his hand and said after a few seconds of silence, “While I was abroad, I had a car accident and spent a month in the hospital. She sent me food every day and told me how to make them.” Mona nodded. “I see.” Samantha and Thaddeus knew each other earlier than Mona thought. It turned out that Mona was the third party who broke off the childhood sweethearts. Thaddeus looked up and fixed his gaze on Mona’s face. “Samantha is very kind. She accompanied me through the most difficult time in my life. Without her, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Now that she’s sick, I have no reason to ignore her.” Mona was confused. ‘Uh… ‘Is he trying to explain something to me? ‘Or is he showing off their love? ‘I don’t care nor do I want to hear about it. ‘How should I react? I can’t just keep quiet. That’ll be so awkward.’ “Indeed, the person who’s willing to offer help at one’s low point will often be the most unforgettable. You and Miss Mayers are affectionate
“Mona, you really disappoint me. The company treats you well and specially built a studio for you. How could you take private jobs outside? Now, even Mr. Lewis knows you wore a sports bra and shot commercials outside. This is a serious violation of the contract, and the consequences are very serious. Your contract will likely be terminated, do you understand?” Luke gritted his teeth in anger. He did not expect Mona to be so capable that she would become famous with just a short video. Mona rubbed the spot between her eyebrows. It was late, and she was tired. She had heard what her agent said but forgot about it right away. They would terminate her contract? Let them, then. In any case, she was shunned by her company. As for the studio they built for her, it was just an empty shell. “Mona, say something. Are you even listening to me?” Luka was anxious when Mona did not respond for a long time. He certainly did not want Mona’s contract with the company to be terminated. Throu
