Clingy Love Chapter 69
The following afternoon, Mona brought along her homemade pastry and went to the Fontaines’ residence to visit Master Fontaine. The Fontaines built an empire from the commercial line. The old building structure held a lot of history in its walls and style. This kind of aged estate in Worchester City was a rare find. Hence, the property was worth a lot. By the time Mona got out of the cab, Master Fontaine had been waiting at the entrance for some time. She took quick strides over and opened a parasol to put over the old man’s head. “The sun is blinding, Grandpa. It’s hot out here. You should’ve waited inside.” “It’s okay, girl. I saw you the moment I came out. I didn’t wait for long.” Master Fontaine finally had a smile on his face when Mona turned up. A maid took the box of pastry from Mona and followed from the back with a smile. “Mrs. Fontaine, Master Fontaine really missed you. He told the kitchen to prepare a feast of your favorite food the moment he knew you were coming
Clingy Love Chapter 70
“Thaddeus? He never mentioned you to me.” Samantha bit her lip. The radiance in her eyes dimmed. Did Thaddeus really decide against marrying her? “Grandpa, I have a boyfriend, and we’re dating with the intention to get married, but we hit a tiny snag recently. I’m fretting over it, so I came to see you.”“What brings you here?” Xavier frowned, getting the gist of what this was about. Samantha was not here to visit him. Instead, she was trying to shove marriage down the old man’s throat. It seemed like the girl meant something to Thaddeus since he told her everything.“What is your intention being here, Ms. Mayers?” Xavier pulled a solemn look. “I know about Thaddeus and Mona, Grandpa. Since he’s my boyfriend, I think this matter shouldn’t be kept hidden.” More than anything else, Samantha wanted to walk down the aisle with Thaddeus. To realize that dream, she must do something to change Thaddeus’ mind. Rather than adopting the passive stance, she might as well strike whil
Clingy Love Chapter 71
A phone call from Xavier was enough for Thaddeus to put everything on pause and make haste to the Fontaines’ residence. The man entered the family residence and was welcomed by the sight of Samantha and Mona. The ladies sat across the room, giving each other the snub. Furrowing his brows, he made a beeline to Master Fontaine. “What’s the meaning of this, Grandpa?” Xavier took a glance at the two women in the living room. Nothing good was going to come out of his mouth for sure. “You’re one to talk. This is your mess.” It was true that Master Fontaine’s number one favorite was Mona. The old man could not stand for it now that he was sure Mona was the poor victim. “Ten-hut, Thaddeus.” Thaddeus stood still and positioned his arms against the vertical lining of his pants at command. Master Fontaine had been a lieutenant general in the military before starting a business. Hence, the Fontaines based their family principles on military rules, and Thaddeus grew up under strict

Mona watched as Thaddeus entered the study. She stood outside to listen for any commotions from the study before feeling assured that no fight was going on inside. She then grabbed her handbag and got ready to leave. “Mrs. Fontaine.” The maid slapped her own face and corrected herself, “Ms. Ortega, are you going to leave without saying goodbye? Didn’t Master Fontaine ask you to wait for him?” “I have a family emergency. Can you relay the message to Grandpa for me?” It was improper for an outsider like her to be involved in someone’s family affairs. Surely, Thaddeus would not want her to hang around Samantha. It would ruin their relationship. “Are you coming again soon?” the maid reluctantly asked and gave Mona Bambi eyes. “Master Fontaine asks for you daily when you’re not here. He misses you so.” “Of course, I will. Call me whenever Grandpa misses me. Do you have my telephone number?” “Ah. Yes, I do. I never had the guts to call in case I might be bothering you.” “You ca

“Is she dead? That’s a shame. What a poor child.” With his mind wandering back to the past, Xavier sighed emotionally. “I should be on my own if there’s nothing else, Grandpa.” Thaddeus was evasive on the subject. It was something he really did not want to get into. “Hang on. We’re not done here.” Snapping out of his thoughts, Xavier stopped Thaddeus, who was halfway out the door. “Don’t try to play it down. It’s not over until you tell me the reason for the divorce.”Taking a deep breath, Thaddeus calmly turned around and looked at the old man. “Grandpa, I have the right to remain silent about my privacy.” “Don’t talk to me about privacy. I’m your grandfather. I’ve seen you butt naked. Follow my orders and tell me what happened.” With downcast eyes, Thaddeus retaliated with silence. “So, you want to play that game with me, huh?” His disobedient grandson got Master Fontaine fuming. He bent over and opened the safe box before pulling out a handgun. Removing the safety pin
Clingy Love Chapter 74
Samantha had always believed that Thaddeus had no feelings for Mona. His marriage to her was merely an excuse to satisfy a man’s physical needs with a partner with a clean bill of health. However, the reality was telling Samantha that this was not the case. Was this the reason why Thaddeus refused to tie the knot with her? Staring at the towering and dashing figure, Samantha grew resolute with her thought. No matter what, she must get the man. Silence befell the vehicle as time went by. Thaddeus sat in silence for a while before starting the engine. He drove away from his family residence and onto a wide road. He lifted his gaze and glanced at Samantha from the rearview mirror. “Was I too blunt? Did I upset you?” Samantha’s eyes lit up. It gave her a glimmer of hope, seeing that Thaddeus cared about her feelings. Alas, the man’s ensuing statement threw her for a loop. “You’d better stay away from Mona if you don’t want to make me mad. I’d prefer if you carry on as

“Oh, Mr. Fontaine. What a coincidence. Why are you in the hospital? Are you ill?” Thaddeus threw a callous look of contempt. Without a word, he turned his attention to Mona. “What brings you here?” Although Mona had something on her mind, there was no way she could say it out loud. She was not here for him for sure. Before she could answer though, the woman jumped in. “Mr. Fontaine, I saw this woman standing outside the ward and eavesdropping on your conversation.” “I didn’t ask you.” Thaddeus did not give Mrs. Yale the time of the day as the woman often threw her weight around. He would not have known that the chamber of commerce committee had a bully for a family member if Marcus did not investigate the hospital incident whereby Millie was kicked out. Mrs. Yale awkwardly chuckled before saying goodbye and taking off with her tail between her legs. “Not so fast, Mrs. Yale.” Thaddeus offhandedly looked askance at the woman. “I believe there’s something you have with thi
Clingy Love Chapter 76
The nurses that were named revealed expressions of shock and disbelief. They were guessing the relationship between Thaddeus and Millie.“Mr. Fontaine, it’s like this. Mrs. Yale booked Millie’s room first. It was Millie’s attending doctor who helped her jump the line from the general ward to the VIP ward. We’re just following the protocol...”When Mrs. Yale heard that Mona jumped the queue, she found a reason on her side and raised her chest to speak.“See, Mr. Fontaine? The nurses can testify for me. If you really investigate this matter, you’ll find that I’m not to blame. I booked that room in advance, so it should be mine.”Thaddeus’ cold and sharp eyes narrowed. His gaze was frigid. “You’re right, Mrs. Yale. In that case, take your child out of the hospital now.”“Why? Mr. Fontaine, you’re being unreasonable.” Mrs. Yale suddenly raised her voice. She took out her phone and threatened to make a call.“Mr. Fontaine, I know that you’re the CEO of the chamber of commerce and that
