Thaddeus's face was hidden in the shadows, veiling his emotions. “It’s late. Get some rest, Mr. Fontaine.” Mona did not want to linger. She walked past the man and avoided his gaze. Thaddeus, however, stopped her as soon as she took her first step, causing her to bump into his chest. It hurt as though she bumped into the wall! Thaddeus grabbed her wrist expressionless and checked the scald on her forearm. “Why didn’t you tell me about Marianne?” Mona curled her lips into a frivolous smile. One of the basic rules of divorce was not to interfere with each other’s life. After all, they were no longer husband and wife.“It was nothing big, and I didn’t want to trouble you.” Thaddeus narrowed his eyes. His gloomy gaze landed on her petite and delicate face. His nose picked up her alluring fragrance, causing him to gulp nervously. When they were together, the woman behaved like a pampered girl. She would cry for a day because of the smallest cut, afraid that it would l

“You’re trying to extort money from me, right? I’ve seen a lot of people like you. How much do you want? I’ll pay. Just get the hell out of the ward. Don’t delay my child’s treatment.” The lady wore arrogance on her face. Before Mona could recover from her shock, the lady pulled out a stack of money from her crocodile-skinned purse and tossed it in Mona’s face. As paper bills rained down on her, everyone else in the room was stunned. It was a blatant insult and provocation to Mona. It was then that the chief nurse of the VIP ward came over and said, “Mrs. Yorkshire, we have prepared another VIP ward for you and your child. The new one faces the East, so your child will be able to enjoy warm sunlight in the morning.” The lady finally calmed after hearing the chief nurse. She grabbed her purse to leave. Before she walked out of the room, she sized Mona up from top to bottom with brazen disgust. “Keep the money. It’s too filthy for me to even take back.” Mona was left st

Thaddeus went to the chief nurse and asked where Millie went. Pressured by the man’s intimidation, she stammered as she revealed everything to him. The man was displeased at what he heard. “Where’s Millie’s doctor?” “Dr. Hancock is currently out on a trip,” the chief nurse said in a trembling voice. Thaddeus curled his lips as his eyes glared. “I told him to take good care of Millie! After what happened, I believe this is your negligence of duty. You won’t be needed if you can’t do your job well.” While the chief nurse was stunned, the man left. Looking at the man’s frosty figure, the chief nurse’s heart sank. It was just a single mother with two kids. Why was the man so concerned about her? Thaddeus walked out of the hospital and stood under the starry night. His handsome face had a layer of frost to it. He had kept that woman by his side for four years and raised her like a princess. She had never been mistreated. The only one who could make her cry was him, and tha

After Mona and Thaddeus were done shopping in the supermarket, Mona looked at the shopping cart that was filled with goods as they checked out. There were things she needed, and there were also things that belonged to Thaddeus— everything had been mixed. Would it make her look petty if she asked for them to pay separately? The total amount would probably be considerable, and she was reluctant to pay for everything. Thaddeus saw through her thoughts right away. He took out his card from his wallet and threw it at the cashier. If a man and a woman were out together, how could the woman pay for the bill? Mona turned to look at the man and smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Mr. Fontaine. I’ll make you a big meal later.” Thaddeus bent over calmly and took out the things in the shopping cart. When he lowered his head, his lips unknowingly curled up, even he did not realize it. The cashier scanned the product codes while looking at the attractive man and woman in front of him. He looked

Mona was making dinner in the kitchen. Thaddeus removed his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves. He walked calmly toward the fridge and took out a cold can of soft drink and drank it on his own. Thaddeus had a leisurely posture. He leaned his long body against the door and squinted his narrow eyes slightly as he watched Mona cook. He rarely paid attention to his daily routine and had even forgotten that she knew how to cook. “You know how to cook. Not bad.” Mona turned her head to look at the man and pouted. In fact, in their first year of marriage, Mona would prepare a table of food every day, waiting for Thaddeus to get off work for dinner. However, he had many social engagements and came home late. He usually skipped dinner and ate her instead. “Hiss. It’s hot.” Mona was not paying attention. The oil in the frying pan splashed on the back of her hand, causing her to subconsciously scream. Thaddeus was startled. He walked over and asked, “Are you okay?” “I’m fine.
