Mona watched as Thaddeus entered the study. She stood outside to listen for any commotions from the study before feeling assured that no fight was going on inside. She then grabbed her handbag and got ready to leave. “Mrs. Fontaine.” The maid slapped her own face and corrected herself, “Ms. Ortega, are you going to leave without saying goodbye? Didn’t Master Fontaine ask you to wait for him?” “I have a family emergency. Can you relay the message to Grandpa for me?” It was improper for an outsider like her to be involved in someone’s family affairs. Surely, Thaddeus would not want her to hang around Samantha. It would ruin their relationship. “Are you coming again soon?” the maid reluctantly asked and gave Mona Bambi eyes. “Master Fontaine asks for you daily when you’re not here. He misses you so.” “Of course, I will. Call me whenever Grandpa misses me. Do you have my telephone number?” “Ah. Yes, I do. I never had the guts to call in case I might be bothering you.” “You ca

Samantha had always believed that Thaddeus had no feelings for Mona. His marriage to her was merely an excuse to satisfy a man’s physical needs with a partner with a clean bill of health. However, the reality was telling Samantha that this was not the case. Was this the reason why Thaddeus refused to tie the knot with her? Staring at the towering and dashing figure, Samantha grew resolute with her thought. No matter what, she must get the man. Silence befell the vehicle as time went by. Thaddeus sat in silence for a while before starting the engine. He drove away from his family residence and onto a wide road. He lifted his gaze and glanced at Samantha from the rearview mirror. “Was I too blunt? Did I upset you?” Samantha’s eyes lit up. It gave her a glimmer of hope, seeing that Thaddeus cared about her feelings. Alas, the man’s ensuing statement threw her for a loop. “You’d better stay away from Mona if you don’t want to make me mad. I’d prefer if you carry on as

The nurses that were named revealed expressions of shock and disbelief. They were guessing the relationship between Thaddeus and Millie.“Mr. Fontaine, it’s like this. Mrs. Yale booked Millie’s room first. It was Millie’s attending doctor who helped her jump the line from the general ward to the VIP ward. We’re just following the protocol...”When Mrs. Yale heard that Mona jumped the queue, she found a reason on her side and raised her chest to speak.“See, Mr. Fontaine? The nurses can testify for me. If you really investigate this matter, you’ll find that I’m not to blame. I booked that room in advance, so it should be mine.”Thaddeus’ cold and sharp eyes narrowed. His gaze was frigid. “You’re right, Mrs. Yale. In that case, take your child out of the hospital now.”“Why? Mr. Fontaine, you’re being unreasonable.” Mrs. Yale suddenly raised her voice. She took out her phone and threatened to make a call.“Mr. Fontaine, I know that you’re the CEO of the chamber of commerce and that

“Forget it. If you don’t want them, then I’ll leave with them.”Mona left with her things. Thaddeus looked at her back, his gaze deep and distant. It was not what she thought. He just wanted to keep that secret...The next time Mona saw Samantha was two days later.This time, it was Samantha who took the initiative to call her to meet at a cafe near the hospital.Mona waited for a long time before Samantha showed up late.“I’m sorry, Thaddeus was accompanying me at the ward. I had to think of an excuse to throw him off.” Samantha’s tone sounded like she was complaining. “Geez, he keeps a really strict eye on me. He doesn’t let me go out casually.”“It means that he cares about you. That’s a good thing.” Mona smiled peacefully. “You two are about to marry soon. Don’t forget to inform me so I can give you a wedding gift. After all, Mr. Fontaine treated me well before.”At the mention of marriage, the smile slipped off Samantha’s face and gave way to a hint of embarrassment. She pi

Raymond rushed to the hospital and saw Thaddeus standing outside the operating room with an unusually solemn face.“How did you know that Mona got into an accident? You even arrived before me.”“I was saved as ‘Husband’ under her contacts, so the medical staff called me first to inform me.” Thaddeus leaned against the wall, his tall body slack and lazy.“She saved your number as ‘Husband’?” Raymond was surprised.Did Mona really like Thaddeus? Raymond thought she knew her place well.Thaddeus gave him a sidelong glance. “Why? Is there a problem?”“No, but didn’t you two get divorced?”Thaddeus said coldly, “Stop making a fuss.”The door of the operating room opened, and Mona was wheeled out on a bed.Thaddeus immediately went over, pushed the nurse aside, and bent down to hold her hand.“Mr. Fontaine, the operation was very successful, but the wound she suffered was deep. She got a few stitches, and there’s a possibility of scarring.”Thaddeus looked at the unconscious woman
