Semua Bab Clingy Love: Bab 311 - Bab 320

Mona patted Bobby’s head and intentionally avoided the question. Bobby looked annoyed. He tidied his hair that his mother had tousled, and grumbled, “Mommy, you messed up my hair!” Mona squinted. She looked at her son’s gelled hair and his handsome jacket. He looked like a tiny fashion model, which surprised her. Knowing something was off, she asked, “You’ve been looking strange lately. Since when do you care so much about your looks?” Bobby shoved two pieces of bread into his mouth, causing his cheeks to puff up. There was a dash of embarrassment on his expression. He answered vaguely, “Nothing in particular. I just want to change my usual image.” He then concentrated on eating his sandwich. Mona did not delve into the question as she knew the boy would not answer her. Pressing on the topic would only annoy him, so it was important to not startle him now. Thaddeus then came down with Millie to have breakfast. Seeing that Bobby had completed his tasks, he patted the boy

Jennifer sized Mona up from top to bottom with a frosty gaze. “That’s my question to you. This rehabilitation center is part of our family’s business. Why would it be strange for me to be here? You, on the other hand, are hiding behind the tree, looking all suspicious. If I didn’t know better, I might have thought you are up to no good here.” Mona was left speechless. “Mrs. Fontaine, the rehabilitation center is part of your family business but this land isn’t. Can’t I be here? I’m not doing anything wrong, and I’m here out in the open. You accusing me of doing something bad is slander.” Enraged, Jennifer’s expression turned bitter. She yelled, “Oh? Look at you now, talking back to me. What? Do you think that those two kids of yours with Thaddeus are your leverage against us? Are you trying to get back into the family?” Mona grinned coldly as if she was listening to a joke. "Mrs. Fontaine, you don't think I'm still in love with your son and want to use him for revenge, do you

The girl, who was chewing on a piece of bubble gum, had pretty cool short hair. Noticing that Bobby was looking at her, she rolled her eyes and gave him the finger. Bobby averted his gaze and picked up a coloring pen to draw with pursed lips. Only Thaddeus took notice of the blush across his son’s cheeks. The moment outside gave Thaddeus all he needed to know. Turning on his heel, the man took long strides to the faculty office. Thaddeus got to know about how the kids had been doing in school lately and even filled the teacher out on the situation surrounding the girl. The girl was Megan Moore. Her parents had been killed in a traffic accident when she was one, and Megan had stayed with her maternal grandparents ever since. Her grandparents were in their advanced years and were out of touch with reality, so their idea of raising children was pretty backward, which contributed to Megan being withdrawn and rebellious. Nevertheless, it was hard enough for these senior citizens to

Mona told the cab driver to pull up and stared from afar while taking note of the address. With the phone in her handbag ringing, she pulled it out of her bag for a look. It was Ben calling. Mona took the call, and the voice on the other end of the line sounded anxious. “Where are you now, Mona? We couldn’t get in touch with you for the last few days. You got us worried sick.” “I had a little situation. What happened?” “It’s the opening of our studio today, but we have people coming here and calling our flagship designs rip-offs. They are threatening to report us to the Federal Trade Commission for unfair business practices.” “Are you talking about my two designs?” “Yeah. The two hit designs.” “Don’t sweat it. Those are my original works, so it’s ridiculous to say the designs are rip-offs. They can take us to court all they want, but they won’t get anything out of it. We can sue them for slander.” “Mona, things are not as simple as you think. They came here with the d

The police officer frowned. “Couldn’t you have settled this on your own?” “I tried to talk to them, but as you can see, they refuse to leave. They threatened us to move our business elsewhere or his uncle, apparently the police chief, will put me behind bars. I want to know if I’ve broken any laws that called for jail time.” Mona made it sound serious as there was an ongoing investigation into the integrity of government officials. For someone to throw their weight around in the name of their uncle who was the chief of police, the uncle would probably take a lot of heat if it made headlines. The burly man freaked out. “Nobody said anything about putting you behind bars. Don’t be ridiculous.” “Quit the racket and shut up.” With a stern look, the police officer gave the burly man a glare and then turned his attention to Mona. “You two should come with me to the station, so I can get your statement. I’ll sort this out for you.” “Thank you, officer.” Mona expressed her gratitud
