Semua Bab Clingy Love: Bab 61 - Bab 70

“No, Thad. Aren’t you divorced? Don’t tell me you have fallen for Mona.” “Absurd.” Before Raymond could say anything, Thaddeus hung up on the call. A disconnection dial tone ensued. “What the hell? He doesn’t want the girl anymore, and yet he forbids anyone to go after her.” It somewhat dreaded Raymond to feel Thaddeus’ wrath. As the witness to Thaddeus’ secret relationship with Mona, Raymond had always believed the marriage was with an ulterior intent. Besides, Thaddeus never forgot about the one that got away. The divorce only proved that he had no feelings for Mona. Raymond was not violating the bro code with what he was doing now. With that in mind, he put the phone down and dove into work. …“Thaddeus, who were you on the phone with? Did something bad happen?” Back in the hospital, Samantha looked at the absent-minded man with worry. It had been half an hour since Thaddeus returned from making a call, and he had been spacing out ever since. He did not listen t

“What do you expect? I’ve packed my things. Did you think I was putting up an act?” The others exchanged looks, unable to hide the joy across their faces. Mona swept her gaze around the room and sighed. She was not Ms. Popular for sure. Apart from Luke, these people would be beating on drums and celebrating if she were to quit her job. All the more she should not leave. She needed to prove these people otherwise. Mona walked out the door as if she had a tail between her legs under the crowd’s gloating eyes. She had not gotten far when Raymond, in the back, called her name. “Mona, I’ll drive you since I’m heading out anyway.” Everybody turned their attention to Raymond. Mr. Rockwell sure was a friendly boss, looking out for his fired employees.Mona asked, “Where are you going?” “The convention center.” “It’s okay. We’re not going the same way. I’m heading in the opposite direction.” “It’s okay. It’s just a detour.” Raymond turned around and instructed his assi

It would be a marvel if Mr. Dreamboat, popular among the socialites and ladies of Worchester City, was dumped by a woman in the end. Thaddeus pulled a grim look. He had never been the butt of a joke. Since this concerned the pride of a man, Thaddeus was quick to deny it. “No way. I asked for the divorce.” Raymond waved his arm. “I knew it. You only married Mona out of revenge. You gave your heart to the one that got away, didn’t you? The way I see it, you and Mona are a ruthless bunch. Mona, especially, is unattached and carefree.” Thaddeus turned his head and fixated on Raymond who just shrugged and smiled. “You don’t love her, and yet you were with her for years. She harbored many secrets while playing her role with you. She doesn’t seem in distress after your divorce. It’s like she’s unaffected. She’s still shooting commercials and raising her children like nothing ever happened. Any other women would be bawling their eyes out and threatening suicide.” Clutching onto th

“Why did you drink so much, son?” Victor’s bloodshot eyes were vacant. “Let me out, Mom. I want to see her.” “Are you trying to piss me off, Vic? Mona is your uncle’s ex-wife. It’s morally wrong and embarrassing for you two to get together.” “No! They’re divorced! She’s my Susan.” Eleanor was confused. Susan? The name sounded familiar. What did it have to do with Mona? Before she could wrap her head around it, Victor added, “Mom, she raised our two children too. I need to carry out my duty and marry her. She’s the only one for me.” “What on earth are you talking about? Your uncle will come after you if he catches wind of this.” Eleanor told the butler to bring a basin of lukewarm water. To her, it must be the booze talking. Mona? Children? Impossible. Besides, the statement that her children were Victor’s held no water.“Vic, my silly boy. Stop acting the fool. Why do you put yourself in this position for a woman? How can I trust you to take on bigger responsibilities

“Thaddeus? He never mentioned you to me.” Samantha bit her lip. The radiance in her eyes dimmed. Did Thaddeus really decide against marrying her? “Grandpa, I have a boyfriend, and we’re dating with the intention to get married, but we hit a tiny snag recently. I’m fretting over it, so I came to see you.”“What brings you here?” Xavier frowned, getting the gist of what this was about. Samantha was not here to visit him. Instead, she was trying to shove marriage down the old man’s throat. It seemed like the girl meant something to Thaddeus since he told her everything.“What is your intention being here, Ms. Mayers?” Xavier pulled a solemn look. “I know about Thaddeus and Mona, Grandpa. Since he’s my boyfriend, I think this matter shouldn’t be kept hidden.” More than anything else, Samantha wanted to walk down the aisle with Thaddeus. To realize that dream, she must do something to change Thaddeus’ mind. Rather than adopting the passive stance, she might as well strike whil
