“Am I such a person in your heart?” Thaddeus frowned. “Am I that irresponsible? If you think of your husband like that, you’re also questioning your vision. You’re not only belittling me but also insulting yourself.”“What?” Mona was startled by the man’s forceful words and actions. “You’re so fierce.”Thaddeus choked. This woman had clearly told him to speak up if he had something on his mind, but now she was calling him fierce.“I’ll continue to examine what kind of person you are, but I personally saw you and Ginny go in and out of the resort. Did you know I was watching not far away when you two were making out? I watched you two get onto the sightseeing tour bus together and go to the top of the mountain.”“Make out?” Thaddeus felt ridiculous. “Shouldn’t you know my attitude toward women? Even if you didn’t, hasn’t Anna told you that my body will never want to be close to a woman that’s not you? And Millie, of course.”“That’s...” Mona thought for a moment. “Then my feeling i

It was already 9 p.m. when they returned from Mrs. Greene’s house. There was a couple holding a wedding on the hotel beach. Champagne and red roses painted a romantic scene across the whole hotel. Millie took a fancy to the pink flamingo balloons and clamored over to watch the fun.“Are you tired?” Thaddeus first sought Mona’s opinion. He took her slender and soft waist in one hand and asked gently.“I’m fine, but I ate too much tonight. Taking a walk is a good way to lose weight.” Mona smiled gently and snuggled up to Thaddeus’ shoulder like a kitten.“Then let’s go join the fun.” Thaddeus’s heart melted when he looked at the docile woman beside him.If only she would stick to him like this all the time. However, this little kitty was sometimes disobedient and had to stretch out her claws to scratch people every now and then.Bobby and Millie walked in front, skipping toward the beach. Millie was very happy tonight and ran against the wind. She was obviously in the lead but shout

The staff's shout attracted everyone's attention. The man socializing in the crowd dropped the glass in his hand, causing it to shatter on the ground. He ran to the seaside but stumbled and fell. Glass fragments stuck to the palm of his hand, tearing skin open and dripping blood.Thaddeus seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, into the abyss of the sea...Within half an hour, the best search and rescue team in the country was assembled on the beach of the hotel. Several search and rescue vessels combed the sea along with motorboats.The whole night, Thaddeus drove a boat in the sea searching desperately. His body was slapped around by the cold seawater, and his hands were freezing. By dawn, he was so tired that he could hardly move. He contemplated if it would be better to just jump into the sea. All he had to do was loosen his grip on the steering wheel of the yacht, and he would be able to wander aimlessly in this dead sea where there was no spark of life.With a harsh wave, the

“The murderer? Who is it?” “Who is it?!” Anna and Thaddeus asked one after the other. “It’s Stella, the most suspected writer. If it had not been for the incident last night when Mrs. Fontaine fell into the sea, we wouldn’t have been able to solve the case so quickly. We’ve arrested Stella and are in the process of interrogating her.” Anna clenched her hand into a fist and waved it. “I knew it—what a pest!” “Though, there are still some suspicious points regarding the case of Mrs. Fontaine jumping into the sea last night. We need your cooperation again and take your statement.” “Okay. Please come to my room, and we’ll talk in detail.” Anna led the few officers into the room. Since Stella was confirmed to be the murderer, Mona must be safe. While it was exciting news, Thaddeus was still worried about Mona. The ring was located deep in the mountain, but that did not mean she was there. Perhaps a wild animal took the ring away. In short, he would not be at ease until he sa

“Given that I rescued her from the sea and brought her here, we have an unordinary relationship,” the man answered. Thaddeus was uncomfortable hearing that. “Unordinary?” “It’s the kind of relationship where I can put my life on the line to make sure she’s safe and sound.” The man took out a semi-circular badge from his pocket. Thaddeus narrowed his eyes and looked at it, feeling it looked familiar. “This was given to Mona by Master Fontaine. Seeing this badge is the same as being given an order. Since Mona has it, we must listen to her orders. We won’t hesitate even if we have to protect her with our lives.” Thaddeus studied the badge. He had found it in his grandpa’s treasure chest when he was young. At that time, he was puzzled because the badge did not look like it belonged to an army. It turned out that it was used to command the bandit army on this mountain. He snorted and looked up at the man as he asked, “Is this all there is to your team?” The man who was ridiculed
