Monique tasted the coppery tang of blood on her tongue. She unclenched her jaw and saw her handiwork. Blood oozed out from the wound as she let out a cry. “I really thought you wanted to send me off.”Something flashed in Henry’s eye when he realized she was afraid of being sent away.The fact that Monique wanted to stay by his side made him happy. He softened his tone as he said, “Fortunately, you had the sense to come back to me, else you would’ve given me no choice but to send you away.”As tears streamed down her face, she stuttered, “You weren’t worried I would leave with him?”Henry carried her out of the bathtub and gave her a sly grin. “And leave Angel to me?”His words were half joking and half serious.“In your dreams.” Monique’s expression shifted immediately, the crying woman was gone. “Angel is just a child. Don’t you dare drag her into this. If you hurt a hair on her head, I’ll kill you!”The threat was delivered in all seriousness.Henry’s lips twitched. What was

Monique raised a trimmed eyebrow and said in a confused tone, “Control my appetite?”She pulled the bowl of instant noodles to herself and pierced a meatball with her fork. “It’s been a while since I last tasted meatballs this delicious. Kinda want another one.”She made a dramatic gesture as she waved the meatball in the air.Henry gave her an exasperated look. “I think you’re becoming a glutton. We can’t have that now.”“Wouldn’t it be better if I was fat? Then I wouldn’t be able to escape your claws.” Monique looked down at her belly.The man walked over to the bar counter. “Aren’t you always planning to escape? This would work against you.”As he sat down at the bar counter, Monique moved the bowl of instant noodles away. She placed it on top of the aquarium.Henry’s eyes narrowed. He wondered what the woman was planning to do.He wore an indifferent expression as he watched Monique.Monique’s long lashes fluttered animatedly. Her bright, alert eyes captivated him. Her int

Henry smirked and uttered a sound of approval.That was all he could say to Monique’s elaborate explanation?Did he forgive her?Monique silently took the dishes to the sink and began washing them.Henry did not leave his seat. He watched the woman in the kitchen with a smirk on his face.He wanted Monique to enjoy herself at the event but seeing her interact with Nick Johnny enraged him. He did not remember her smiling so happily even when he saved her.At that time, he was worried about her injuries and brought the food upstairs to her.Instead of appreciating his gesture, she wanted to head downstairs to eat.She even tried to leave him.What Nick did was just a tiny favor. Yet, Monique looked at him like he was her savior. How could Henry stay calm in that situation?Hence, Henry decided to punish the foolish woman.Who knew the woman would try to drown him then proceed to cry like a baby? His heart softened at the sight of the sobbing woman.Monique was such an enterta

Henry stared intently at Monique. “So you’re aware…”He wrapped his strong arms around her waist and lifted her onto his thigh.At that moment, Monique launched herself forward and caused the chair to tip over.There was a loud crash as both the chair and the two bodies hit the floor.Monique wrapped her hands around the back of Henry’s head during the fall.The man was safe but pain radiated through both her hands.“Ah…Hurts…” Monique’s eyebrows knitted together as she grimaced.It did not occur to Henry that the woman protected him. He asked worriedly, “Are you alright?”He checked her hands—the back of her hands were bruised red and there was a wound. The house was newly-furnished but it was short of a medical kit.“I’ll take you to the doctor,” Henry said.Monique shook her head and said, “Don’t worry. It’s just a minor wound. It’ll close up before we even reach the hospital.”The woman must be fine if she could joke.The tight lines on Henry’s face softened slightly as

Upon arriving at the Moore manor, Henry immediately made his way into the study. He wanted to draft the marriage agreement. After many rounds of revision, he was finally done with it.He looked at the agreement and grinned like a satisfied cat.The agreement was between two parties. Party A being Henry Moore and Party B being Monique Xander. The gist of the agreement was as below:[Party B will serve Party A as a personal live-in maid, available at any hour of the day.[Party B is not allowed to have eye contact with other men for more than ten seconds. Party B is not allowed to have skin contact with other men.[The party who breaks the rule will agree to pay the other party $3,000,000,000.[If either party breaks the rule, Party A will have custody of Angel Xander and the necessary compensation will be made to Party B. This clause is to ensure Angel Xander receives the best possible care.]These were the major points in the agreement which Henry highlighted. The whole document
