Clingy Love

“Mr. Fontaine, I’m in Worchester to promote my new movie. Are you free for a drink tonight?” Mona rubbed her blurry eyes, only to realize she had answered the wrong phone. However, since she had already answered it, it was better for her to say something rather than hang up. “Ms. Colister, Thaddeus is in the shower. Do you need me to pass him a message?” The lady on the other end of the phone went silent before crying out in shock. “How do you know my name?” Mona giggled and said, “Of course I know you are. Ms. Marianne Colister, the famous movie star. The scandal between you and Thaddeus has been in the headline for days now. A new couple in the block, or so they say.” “Who are you? Why do you have Thaddeus’s phone?” Marianne sounded hostile. Mona was amused by Marianne’s tone. It was as though Marianne was the wife questioning the mistress. “I’m in his bed, so it isn’t surprising that I’m able to answer his phone. What’s wrong? Did I upset you, Ms. Colister?” Marian

She walked to the balcony to move away from her children. “I’m at dinner with my friends.” “Which friends?” Mona licked her lips. “You don’t know them.” “I want to see you in twenty minutes.” “What’s the matter? I wanted to…” Mona actually wanted to stay home to accompany the kids. The man lost his patience. He added a hint of anger in his tone when he said, “I’ve signed the papers. Come and get them.” “Oh, okay. I’ll be there soon.” There was no excuse for her not to be there now. She hung up the phone and returned to her room to get changed. Bobby knew his mother had dressed for an outing. She even had a beautiful red dress on. The boy squinted and said, “Mommy, are you going out?” “Yes, baby. I’m going to a gathering. I’ll be back later. The babysitter will be here soon.” “Will you be home to tuck us in?” Millie asked with a longing gaze. Mona was aware of her kids’ gaze and did not have the heart to disappoint them. “I will. Be good, Millie.” It woul

While Mona was trying to suppress her nervousness, the agent came over. “The ambassador is here. Girls, please prepare backstage. The show will start soon.” Mona and the girls went out of the resting area and headed backstage. Marianne was fixing her makeup backstage. When the group of models came in, she pointed at Mona and whispered to her assistant. The assistant nodded and went to Mona. “Ms. Colister has something to talk to you about. Please come over here.” Mona gulped nervously. There were many other girls in the same outfit and face paint yet Marianne picked her out of the bunch? “Do you know Thaddeus?” Marianne sized Mona up from top to bottom with brazen hostility. Mona shook her head. “I don’t.” “Then why was he looking at you?” Mona wanted to ridicule her, but she held back the urge. Why would Marianne question her when it was Thaddeus who looked at her with his own eyes and free will? She innocently shook her head and said, “Mr. Fontaine look at me?

There was no warmth in the man’s narrowed eyes. His lips curled into a ridiculing arc and said, “What do you think?” Mona smiled gently. “I couldn’t have possibly guessed your thoughts, Mr. Thaddeus Fontaine.” She had no idea what drove her to ask the question. Maybe she was afraid that he would delay the divorce and the alimony, and kept her as his free sex toy. The man coldly glanced at Mona. His eyes were as deep as the abyss. He left without answering her question. Mona sighed a breath of relief. It seemed like she was overthinking. She was not the only one who wanted to end this relationship. Thaddeus got into the elevator. When it reached the first floor, he bumped into a girl. The girl, Millie, immediately hid behind her brother and popped her head over his shoulder, staring at the man with a horrified gaze. Bobby stood in front of Millie and looked up at the man boldly. “I’m sorry that my sister bumped into you, Mister.” Thaddeus smiled at them. “Where are y

Mona’s heart clenched. She was afraid that the man would go in to speak with Peter, and the secret about her twins would be exposed. Fortunately, Thaddeus did not go in. He simply looked at her indifferently and said, “Found yourself a man already? You’re quite the favorable choice, I see.” Mona secretly sighed a breath of relief when she learned that Thaddeus did not suspect anything else other than a date. She immediately switched the topic and asked, “Mr. Fontaine, your girlfriend would be unhappy you left her in the car all alone for so long.” Thaddeus turned to the car and casually glanced over at Marianne in the passenger seat. The woman was watching with gritted teeth, as if she was going to hunt Mona down and eat her alive. The man retracted his gaze and said to Mona, “I’m going on a business trip for two weeks. Call me if anything.” “I understand. I’ll try my best not to bother you or cause any trouble.” Mona then fled the scene as quickly as possible. Thadde
