Clingy Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 191 - チャプター 200

The man’s raspy voice drew the children into the story. Soon, they closed their eyes and fell asleep. It was after midnight by the time Mona was done with the sketches. Ready to hit the sack, Mona went upstairs to check on the kids and found Thaddeus and the two children sleeping on one big bed in the children’s room. The man had one arm wrapped around each child. Thaddeus jolted awake when Bobby turned his body in his sleep. He glanced at the boy, only to realize it was a false alarm. Mona drew close and bent over to tuck the kids in while Thaddeus got up out of bed, bleary-eyed. He stood alongside Mona by the bed and watched the kids. Bobby and Millie had their butts propped up like a caterpillar. It was an amusing sight for the parents to watch. A warm night light lit up the children’s room, giving off a warm and inviting tone. With the light bouncing off the couple, Thaddeus observed his shadow over Mona’s as if he had the woman covered and protected. “How did we know

“Got it. Tell the visitor to come in and inform security to keep an eye out over my end.” Mona took off her glasses. Reading between the lines, the assistant gave a nod and went to beckon the two mean-looking people into her office. “Mona, you shameless homewrecker!” No sooner after the assistant invited the ladies into the office, the younger woman stormed toward Mona, put her finger up Mona’s nose, and lashed out. “Please get out, ma’am.” The assistant rushed over to kick the woman out. Standing at the door, the older woman approached the assistant and grabbed ahold of her hands to shove her. “Isabel, that’s enough!” Mona jumped to her feet and drew close to help the assistant up. Mona examined her assistant to make sure she was not hurt. “What is security doing out there? Get in here.” Mona called the two security guards into the office to put a restraint on the ladies. “Let me go! Don’t touch my clothes with your dirty hands! Your annual wages aren’t even eno

Tim nodded his head, echoing the same sentiments. “You have put in a lot of work and gained seniority here. The best resources of Starbright are given to you. Your job prospect is looking good. Just put up with those people, okay?” “No. They’re out to get me. They’ll make me leave if I don’t concede and continue to intimidate me until they get what they want.” Ben was quite sure otherwise. “Isn’t Mr. Rockwell on your side? He has high regard for you. He will have your back.” Mona hesitated for a moment before ultimately shaking her head. “The Grahams are now a shareholder of the company. Mr. Rockwell can no longer make all the decisions, and my presence will only put him in a dilemma. I’d rather not do that to him.” Tim and Ben fell silent for a moment. Then, Tim put his hands in his pockets and walked out. “If you go, I’ll go. Moreover, I’ll apply to the same agency as you and continue to be your assistant.” Ben parroted the same. “I’m going too. We go wherever you go.”

Mona watched on with her eyes tearing up. It was now the intelligence era, and mobile phones had become part of everyday life. Nevertheless, it was not easy for the older generation to make sense of the smartphone. The old couple were like children learning to walk as they navigated in uncharted territory for their hospital visit. Mona drew close and hunched down to hug Grandma Beth. “Don’t panic, Granny. We’ll be with you throughout. Baby steps.” Mona’s words calmed Grandma Beth down. The old lady stopped crying. The trio split the tasks between them in registering Grandpa Gray in the system, admitting him into the hospital, and taking him to take medical tests on various floors. It took several hours, but Grandpa finally got a hospital bed. Grandpa Gray had a rather complicated illness. Several medical experts ran tests and left the ward to discuss a treatment plan. Judging by their somber looks, things must not be looking good. Ben approached the doctors and said, “Do

“You’re here, Mr. Fontaine.” Mona followed everybody’s line of vision to the door, where a man in a sharp suit stood. The dim light from the hallway bounced off his prominent facial features, giving an illusion of a God descending from Heaven. Thaddeus walked into the office with a presence that commanded the room. Standing next to Mona, he gave the new authoritative figures a nod. “How’s the patient doing?” He listened to the experts’ opinions with a hand around Mona’s waist. Thaddeus smiled faintly and said, “My wife is proficient in alternative medicine. If possible, let her participate in the treatment. I trust she will be a great assistance to you.” Thaddeus’s words blew the room full of people away. It was not just Mona’s knowledge of alternative medicine that everybody was surprised about, but also that Mona was Thaddeus’s wife. Freaking out, Mona pushed the man away and dissociated herself from him. “You’re funny, Mr. Fontaine. When did I become Mrs. Fontaine?”
