Semua Bab Clingy Love: Bab 691 - Bab 700

Mona went downstairs and walked out of Fontaine Residence to where the bakery staff had dropped off the cake. She took the cake, handed it to the kitchen, and told them to bring it out at night.The chefs in the kitchen had gone to the market early to buy many fresh ingredients in preparation for the birthday party in the evening.Mona felt the solemn and formal atmosphere.Unexpectedly, the Fontaine family attached great importance to Thaddeus’ birthday and pulled out all the stops.“Are there any guests coming today?” Mona pulled the housekeeper aside to ask.“Besides this family, Old Mrs. Fontaine also invited the Kimball family,” the housekeeper said truthfully.The Kimball family?Mona frowned. Why were they coming? She thought they were in the hospital. Why did that father and daughter have to join every event?She sneered in her heart, becoming more aware of how scheming Ginny was.Just as she was thinking, Jennifer’s voice suddenly sounded. “Go and put away the mirrors

Ginny and her father came at 5 p.m., and Jennifer entertained them enthusiastically. In consideration of Ginny’s feelings, she had everything with a reflective surface removed. Mona asked the two children to play in the yard first. She had something to say and do and did not want the children around whilst so.“Go and get the fruit cut from the kitchen.”Before Mona could sit down, Jennifer bossed her around with a tone of command.“I’m not a servant in this house, Jennifer.” Mona refused. “This isn’t something the lady of the house should do.”Jennifer rolled her eyes, looked at Ginny and her father sitting in the living room, and warned, “Ms. Kimball is injured. You’d better entertain her properly later and put away that rotten look on your face as if you’re attending a funeral. Otherwise, you’ll suffer the consequences if Thaddeus blames you.”Mona only felt amused and straightened her beautiful dress, ignoring Jennifer.Jennifer was furious. “What are you laughing at? I don’t

Mona could not tell how the dinner started and ended.From beginning to end, she felt as if she was in an ice cave as she sat beside Thaddeus. The children were singing the birthday song, and Thaddeus blew out the candles and made a wish. While everyone laughed and celebrated Thaddeus’ birthday, the feeling of being left out sank into her stomach. She did not know where her heart ran off to.She only knew that the sincerity she offered up was silently thrown to the ground by Thaddeus, tossed away like garbage along with her dignity.All of Thaddeus’ words and actions tonight made her sad. She even doubted herself for a moment. Was she so bad that her carefully prepared birthday gift was no match for a measly wristband from Ginny?“Mona Ortega, did you hear what I said?”All the people in the dining hall left, but Mona was still sitting there. Jennifer had called her name thrice, telling her to clear the plates on the table.When Mona returned to her senses, what she saw was Jenni

Mona stood on the spot for a long time. Her head lowered, and her mind filled with many messy thoughts which eventually exhausted her mentally. She no longer wanted to waste her energy in maintaining her relationship with the man. She had done what she had to do and could live up to her conscience. Now, all she wanted was to rest for the night. Mona had a strong heart and mentality. Even if she was treated unfairly, all she needed was a good night's sleep to wash away the terrible mood and thoughts to welcome a brand new day with a fresh start. As for the relationship with Thaddeus, she decided to just let it be for now. After Mona washed her face, her phone on the table rang. She picked it up and saw Tim’s name on the screen. Speaking of Tim, Mona had a strange feeling about the man. He had sounded utterly urgent when he asked her to help him choose a bracelet for the name engraving, as if the girl he was chasing was running away. However, once she was done with it, the

“George, you speak too much.” Thaddeus removed his sunglasses and glared at the driver. “Back to the office.” “Yes, sir.” George nodded and started the car. He sighed inwardly, feeling bad for Mona. As the Fontaines’ driver, George was a loyal and hardworking man who could view matters from a clearer perspective. Although Mona’s character was highly rated among the servants, Madam Fontaine somehow disliked her. She gave Mona a hard time and always sided with outsiders rather than her own daughter-in-law. People like George and Maria could not understand the complicated love-hate relationship of the wealthy. Though, they knew sincerity must be cherished and valued. Losing someone as kind as Mona would be a great loss to the family. When the car drove past the restaurant, Thaddeus saw through the floor-to-ceiling window that Mona sat opposite Tim, giggling at something Tim said. He had never seen Mona giggle like that. It felt pure, beautiful, and so strong that it blinded
