Although she had changed into patient clothes earlier, she did not change her lingerie, so it was still wet. He did this only to prevent her from extorting money from him in the future, so there was nothing to be touched about. After she changed, she walked out of the bathroom, and felt much better without the wet lingerie.When she came out and noticed Mandy was standing there, she gave her a smile. “Miss Xander, please sit down. I’ll dry your hair.”Monique scanned the room. Henry was not there. Mandy understood the look on her face. “Mr. Moore went out.”Mr. Moore said he went out to buy Monique some food; he even told her not to mention anything about jumping into the sea in front of her. It was the first time Mandy saw the caring side of the chairman. It looked like he really had feelings for Miss Xander, not just because she was Angel’s mother.“Thank you, Mandy. I can do it myself.” Monique walked to Mandy’s side. She was not used to people serving her.“Don’t worry, Miss X
Mandy opened the door, where Mr. Moore stood. Before she could open her mouth, Henry spoke first, his voice low, “Take this in.”Henry brought two big bags of food. Other than dinner, he bought some snacks too. He was fast; he had bought so many things so quickly. Mandy took them and whispered, “Mr. Moore, don’t you want to eat with Miss Xander?”His dark pupils sank; he looked through the gap in the door and saw that she had already changed into fresh clothes. Her hair was dry and she was sitting on the sofa, daydreaming as she stared out the window. She probably did not want to see him. She must have hated him for treating her like that, and that he even sent her childhood friend to the police station. She had no other way to resist, so she wanted to commit suicide. She did not even want to care for Angel anymore. He was probably the last person she wanted to see. His eyes dimmed and he simply said, “Tell her that Angel misses her a lot!”Angel was her only hope to live.Mandy wa
Mandy quickly turned around as if she was guilty, blurting out, “Nothing! Nothing at all!”She blocked the door, while she glanced at the chairman from the corner of her eye until his shadow had disappeared down the corridor. It was strange; she thought his stretched shadow under the dim light seemed a little lonely.Monique looked at her suspiciously and blinked. She had a feeling Mandy looked nervous, but she did not ask her why. Was it not a normal question to ask if she needed any help!Mandy noticed that appeared a little inappropriate too. She raised her hands that were carrying bags of food. “I’m bringing these in. They’re a little heavy. Could you help me close the door?”She nodded with a faint smile. Mandy quickly carried the bags to the table, her hands extremely tired. He bought too much food; even if there were five Moniques there, they might not even be able to finish it all.Monique curiously stuck her head out of the door and looked around the corridor. It was em
The chairman was definitely treating her like a pig.However, she could not make such comments since Monique did not know these were brought by the chairman himself. Monique thought she ordered it for her, so she simply blurted an excuse, “Well… I didn’t know what you liked, so I ordered a lot." She looked at Monique with an awkward smile.Monique was speechless for a moment, but her heart felt warm. “Thank you, Mandy!”Mandy gave her a smile. “You…” She wanted to say that she fell into the sea earlier, so she must eat a lot of food to regain her strength, but the chairman told her not to mention anything about falling into the water, so she switched gears. “You should eat now.”Monique nodded, picking up the cutlery and ate the one that was nearest to her. She put the food into her mouth and chewed. “It’s good!”Mandy was still standing where she was. “You should eat more then.”These were the chairman’s gifts.Monique noticed she was still standing and had no intention of sitt
Monique did not give it a deep thought. She opened her inbox and saw two messages from Louise and another one from Simon. She was surprised to see a message with Simon’s name written above it, and her hands were shaking. Previously, when Simon was arrested by the police, his phone was supposed to be confiscated. If he could send her a message, did it mean that he was released?Her finger slowly moved to the message and opened it, but she was afraid it would be a disappointment to read. She hesitantly and shakily opened the message, then it appeared in front of her eyes. It was a short message. “Monnie, I was released from prison. Thank you. Take care of yourself, and may you be happy! I’ll come back. Goodbye!”She stared blankly at the message for a moment before she came back to her senses over those few simple lines. He was released! That was a relief. Finally, there was at least one good news. She was worried for the entire day and afraid that Henry would not let him go; then, his
Monique’s lips lifted up with a smile. “Don’t worry about it! I like him, but it’s not the kind of like that you imagine!”Mandy looked at her with surprise, she never thought Monique would answer the question, and she did not expect her to answer it so frankly.“We were schoolmates in high school, he treats me well, and he’s family to me, like a brother.” she continued to explain.Mandy looked through her profile before; her parents abandoned her and she was raised by her grandfather. When her grandfather passed away, she was sent to live with her uncle. Maybe that was why she longed for familial love and she would care deeply for anyone who was nice to her. Mandy patted her shoulder, pressed her lips and said, “I understand now.”Simon was released from prison and Monique’s heart eased a lot. Then, she gave Louise a call. Louise picked up within a few seconds, “Monique, where have you been. I couldn’t get to you earlier.”“I was out for a walk and my phone died. I borrowed a cha
When Monique dialed the number for the first time, she didn't know if it was a poor signal since the phone hadn't rang for a long time, and then she dialed it again. This time, as soon as the phone rang, she immediately picked it up, and there was a surprised voice of Nomi on the other end of the phone, "Mom!"Monique was stunned for a moment and her eyes immediately turned red. Had Little Nomi been waiting for the phone call before? Because when she made the phone call, it was just through when it just rang for a little while.Being unable to hear anything, Little Nomi called out again, "Mommy!""Little Nomi, Mommy is here." Only then did Monique react. She asked softly, "Little Nomi, what are you doing?"The moment Little Nomi answered the phone, Henry had already come over and held Little Nomi in his arms.Little Nomi tilted her head and blinked at her handsome father. It was just at the time to see Henry looking down at her doting eyes."Daddy is reading a picture book for me
Would she take things too hard again?He asked Mandy to accompany her all the time and then told Mandy to tell her that Little Nomi missed her, because he hoped that she would miss Little Nomi and not do anything stupid.After he left the hospital, he immediately ordered someone to release Li Sheng and tell him to send a text message to Monique and Little Nomi.Now she should know that Li Sheng had been released from prison."Does she still hate me?""She couldn't accept that he was the biological father of Little Nomi?""Will she come back?"Henry tightened his grip on Little Nomi.Monique didn't know what to do. If she had always wanted to leave before, it was because she always thought that Henry only regarded her as a lover. So one day when he was tired of her, he would kick her away, then she and Little Nomi had to leave.It was the first time when Little Nomi had experienced the feeling of fatherly love, but when she had to leave, she was worried that Little Nomi couldn'
