Semua Bab Clingy Love: Bab 521 - Bab 530

The man’s gaze fell on Mona. From the brief eye contact, Thaddeus was brought back to the past when Mona had been simple and innocent. Back then, he had picked her up from the road and brought her home. Barely dressed, she had sat on the edge of the bathtub and crossed her legs. Her toes were curled up, and her clear eyes read of fear and reliance. Standing there, he looked at her and could tell that from then on, he had become the woman’s whole world. It was a memory that often played in his mind. As time went on, those eyes were no longer clear enough for him to read her mind again. Mona had since then played mind games with him. Gathering her thoughts, Mona picked her head up and propped against Thaddeus’ shoulders to stand up. Just as the man found her unfathomable, Mona stared at the man, who had been missing for a few days, and found him a stranger. The pair sat in silence as an invisible distance grew between them. Yet, they were powerless to stop the distance from

Thaddeus carried Millie into the residence while Mona handed the luggage to the maid before catching up from behind. The picture of father and daughter together triggered something in Mona. The man seemed to love kids. Since their move to Gold Coast, he had thrown away all the contraceptive pills from the drawer. Mona had a clear idea of her health, so she let him be. It was not as though pregnancy was on the table for her anymore. That night, the family of four sat at the dinner table and enjoyed dinner together for a change. After dinner, the adults strolled and fooled around with the kids in the garden. The rare bonding moment could block out all the unhappy events for now. It was time for the kids to go to bed at nine o’clock. Thaddeus took up the task of giving the kids a bath and putting them to bed while Mona let out a yawn and retreated to bed. As the man and children’s frolicking echoed through the corridor, Mona sat in bed and stared at the shut door to the study.

Mona took the coffee and held the cup between her palms before taking a tiny sip. Looking indifferent, she replied, “I know. Joseph Marshall.” “Yeah! It’s Joseph Marshall! Do you know how much he is in demand now? He’s highly sought after. Besides, he attended the film festival in Swertland and won an award last month. He’s a rising film star in the film and television industry now.”Kneeling by Mona, Linda made big gestures while speaking. She was beyond thrilled, to say the least. Mona leisurely took another sip of coffee. She knew the lead actor was Joseph, but she had no idea that he was an award-winning actor. It appeared the man must be a discreet and dedicated actor. This was Mona’s impression of the male lead. When afternoon rolled around, the director called Mona to the dressing room as Joseph had just arrived on the set. They could run lines together and try to get the feel. Mona went to the general dressing room where the director and actors were resting. She loo

After a night of recuperation, Mona officially dove right into the month-long shooting of Athena’s Legend. During the filming of the show, Mona often engaged with her co-star and directors about her part. Athena was a character marked with a tragic legacy. Apart from the relaxing and delightful first encounter with Theo and her life at the general’s quarters, all that remained was a woman in emotional turmoil bracing the painful life all on her own. In the end, Mona got carried away in the emotions of Athena and could not snap out of character. Mona was not able to eat when Athena was sick and had no appetite for food. Mona was gloomy and tearful when Athena cried her eyes out. Mona lost ten pounds in less than ten days due to the state she was in. She hit the lowest point emotionally until Sophie and Linda found her sitting by the window in tears instead of sleeping one night. It struck them there and then that it was dangerous for Mona to stay that way. After turning on the

Mona stared at Thaddeus’ good-looking face with misty eyes. She reached out and hooked her arms around the nape of his neck before burying her head in the man’s embrace. She grabbed the crystal cufflink on his sleeve to fiddle in her hands. Thaddeus was still angry about the whole thing, but he was ready to surrender to her following her coquettish behavior. Still, there was no reason for her to abuse her body. Mona swayed in motion in the man’s arms and curled her pinkie around his thumb. She mewed, “Darling, take me home.” Shocked, Thaddeus froze and stared blankly at Mona. Something in him melted. “What did you call me?” Blinking her eyes, Mona picked her head up and met Thaddeus’ profound eyes. She coyly uttered, “Darling.” Thaddeus was lost in rapture when Sophie drew near and whispered in his ear. “That’s how Athena addresses Theo on the TV show.”In other words, it was not Mona’s intention to attach a term of endearment to Thaddeus. She simply was still in charact
