Every Breath You Take

Chapter 77

Monica's voice was so gentle, with a very natural maternal instinct. Quarmy looked at her and Coco's

back blankly, full of mixed emotions. Why did this child call her mother? Was he adopted by her?

After Coco was full, Monica led him away. Just two steps later, a figure came out. Monica was startled.

Quarmy's eyes were full of inquiry as he stared fixedly at Coco. "Your child?"

"Yes!" Monica replied and strode away with Coco in her arms.

When she disappeared, Quarmy still stood rooted to the spot. He had clearly seen that the child looked

very similar to her. He had a pair of large eyes and long eyelashes. They were exactly the same.

Quarmy's heart was pounding with emotions. He had really put in a lot of effort to ask that question.

When he heard her "yes", his heart sank. His heart was so empty as if he had lost something.

She was actually a mother? Wasn't she sterile? What was going on? Everyone said that boys looked

like their mothers, and the child inherited all of her beauty. Though he had doubted it before, after

seeing the child's appearance, all of his suspicions disappeared. It was indeed her child! She and

another man's child!

Quarmy returned to his car in a daze. His wife, who had not been pregnant for five years, had a

beautiful son after a divorce. This was undoubtedly sarcasm to him!

Monica hurried out of the pizza shop with Coco in her arms. She stopped a taxi and went back home.

On the way, her heart was pounding.

The child was an accident. She had been desperate after all those pills and still not pregnant. Then she

didn't take any medicine anymore.

The day before Madrigal's visit, she found that she was late. She went to the pharmacy to buy a testing

paper with the attitude that she just wanted to have a try.

The result turned out to be a red line. She couldn't believe it at all, so she went to the nearest hospital

for an examination and confirmed that she was pregnant.

At that time, she was so ecstatic that she immediately called him. Noah answered the phone and said

that Quarmy was sleeping.

Quarmy was very busy at that time and often had social interactions. He came home late and slept in

the guest room for fear of waking her up. She didn't call him after that but remembered that the next

day was their anniversary, so she wanted to surprise him the next day.

This was the fifth anniversary after they got married. It had been Quarmy who gave her a surprise

before, but this time it was her turn to give him a surprise. She got up early in the morning and cleaned

up the room carefully.

She also prepared a candlelight dinner for him. Everything was ready. When she heard the doorbell

ringing, she thought that Quarmy was back. But she didn't expect it to be Madrigal.

Looking at Madrigal proudly showing off the pregnancy test list to her and seeing the familiar signature

of Quarmy, she felt that the world had collapsed!

She remembered very clearly what happened that day, but she didn't want to think about it. She didn't

want to think about that pain and that humiliation for the rest of her life!

Monica held Coco tightly! Quarmy's appearance scared her so much! How could he appear at any time

like a ghost recently?

She was certain that Quarmy had just seen clearly Coco's face. Would he suspect that Coco was his

son? She looked at Coco carefully. Because he was so young, he looked more like her than Quarmy.

Monica felt slightly at ease. Everyone knew that she was sterile, so he wouldn't suspect anything!

Even if he would not suspect, she still had to think of countermeasures. Only in this way could she

ensure that he would not know the truth for the rest of his life.

Monica hurried home with Coco in her arms. On the first floor of the new home, she saw a fancy car

parking there at first sight.

After being wooed that day, Monica took leave and didn't go to work. Roland was also ashamed to see

her. Monica was the first woman who dared to refuse him, and the first woman who made him sad.

He loved her and hated her so much that in the end, he loved her more than he hated her.

He was a man and she was a little woman. He should be a bigger person without arguing with her. He

finally found a good reason for himself to see her.

Roland had been waiting downstairs for hours without seeing Monica. He became impatient. When he

was about to leave, he saw a taxi coming in. Monica got out of the car with Coco in her arms.

He pulled open the car door and looked impatient. "Where have you been?"

"We went to see Uncle Gu off!" Coco answered in his baby voice.

"Leon is really bad. He left without telling me because he wanted you to see him off?" Roland

deliberately said this. He knew that Leon must have gone back because of Old Mrs. Gu. He

deliberately said this to find a topic, but he still felt embarrassed when he saw Monica.

"Uncle Gu is not bad!" Coco's face darkened. Uncle Wang was really impolite!

"He's not bad. You're!" Roland reached out to pinch Coco's face and clicked his tongue. "This little guy

turned out to be your son. I thought he was Leon's illegitimate child! At that time, I thought Leon was

blessed!"

"Uncle, what is an illegitimate child?" Coco asked in a childish tone.

"An illegitimate child is..."

"Roland!" Monica interrupted him angrily. Looking at her angry face, Roland smiled awkwardly.

"Monica, is he your ex-husband's child, or your illegitimate child?" "None of your business!" Monica

ignored him and walked home with Coco in her arms, followed by Roland. She suddenly closed the

door, but luckily he was quick enough to hold it. "I'm a guest. Is this how you treat guests?"

Coco stuck out his tongue at Roland and said, "You've made my mother angry! The consequences will

be very serious!"

"Bullshit! I'm your mom's boss. She sees me as a rat sees a cat!"

"You're rude and you swear!"

"This is called personality. Understand? Kid, you should learn from me. Don't be like that sissy Leon!"

"Uncle Gu is not a sissy!" Coco retorted.

"I have the final say!" Roland actually quarreled with a child. Monica shook her head. She really

couldn't get angry with such a person. "What are you doing here?"

"Aren't you embarrassed to ask this?" Roland turned to look at Monica. "How long have you been

skipping work? Don't you know?"

"I asked for leave, didn't I? And you agreed." Monica retorted.

"I'm not happy now. Hurry up and go to work!"

"Now?" Monica looked at him in confusion. What was wrong with him?

"I'm going to an entrepreneur party tonight. I don't have any female companion, come with me!" He

ordered.

Then Quarmy was sure to be there. Monica shook her head and said, "I'm not going."

"This is your job! If you don't go, your bonus will be deducted!" Roland threatened.

"Are you going to give me a raise if I go with you?" Monica asked.

"Is money that important to you?"

"I won't go without a bonus. I'm just an assistant, not your female companion!"

"Well, I'll give you a bonus. Come with me now!"

Monica did not expect Roland to be so frank. She did not want to go with him at all. "I don't have any

suitable clothes!" She said.

However, this was not an excuse for Roland. "I've bought it for a long time ago!"

Monica stared at him, but Roland could not feel her displeasure at all. "Don't worry about the size. I'm

good at this. I can see your cup size with just one glance!"

"What's a cup size?" Coco asked again.

Monica was really worried that Roland would corrupt Coco. "I'll go with you. Let's go!"

A sinister smile appeared on Roland's face. He used to have no way to deal with her, but now that she

had a weakness, he had plenty of ways to deal with her!

As Monica had expected, she saw Quarmy at the party. Madrigal was standing beside him, which

made her want to retreat.

However, Roland didn't give her the chance. He held her hand and walked over. Quarmy was

surrounded by a group of people like stars surrounding the moon. When he heard that Mr. Wang was

coming, he looked over and only felt that his eyes were lit up.

It was not that he had never known how beautiful Monica was, but in the past three years, it was the

first time that he had seen her in an evening dress, and he was greatly amazed by that.

She had a beautiful face, a slender neck, and snow-white skin. Her waist was so thin that it could not

be held hard. Seeing that Roland was holding her hand and walking towards him, he forgot that there

was someone else talking to him.

When Madrigal saw that he had been looking at Monica, she felt jealous. In order to swear ownership,

she hung half of her body on him without hesitation. Monica was the only one in Quarmy's eyes, so he

didn't notice her actions.

Seeing the two of them together, Monica sneered in her heart. Originally, she wanted to retreat, but

now she changed her mind.

Roland and Quarmy greeted each other in a friendly way. They were indeed people in the business

world, nobody could tell that they had once fought with each other.

Looking at their polite greetings and the fake smiles on their faces, Monica felt uncomfortable.

Madrigal had always ignored Monica in public, and she would only call her sister when no one was

around. So when she saw Monica and Roland coming, she just nodded politely, but Monica was

indifferent and ignored her. The people who attended the party tonight were all famous. As a beautiful

small assistant, Monica naturally became a target for others to exclude.

"Isn't this the divorced woman from the TV station last time?" A rich Madam remembered Monica's

blind date.

"Yes, yes! At that time, Mr. Wang participated in the blind date program for her."

"Yes, she refused him at that time. I remember it very clearly."

"Since she refused, why would she be with Mr. Wang now? I seem to remember that she left with an

ordinary man."

"Now many people have come up with all kinds of ways to get famous. She must have refused Mr.

Wang on purpose to get popular!"

"Public morals are getting worse day by day. People nowadays dare to do anything in order to become

famous! Look at her. It's obvious that she's from a humble family. She has no manners at all!"

"That's right! Why did Mr. Wang take her here? Isn't he ashamed?"

Women loved to gossip. The women here were jealous of Monica's beauty, so they could say anything.

Monica turned a blind eye to these malicious words. Compared to the terrible things she'd experienced

before, verbal attacks were nothing.

Roland also heard those unpleasant words. He stopped talking with a boss and turned his eyes to the

two women who were in a heated discussion. "Hello, Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Liu."

The two women didn't expect that Roland would take the initiative to greet them, so they both smiled

politely, "Hello, Mr. Wang!"

"Last week, I saw Mr. Tian bringing a twenty-year-old girl to dinner. That's your daughter, isn't it?"

Roland said with a smile. Mrs. Tian's expression changed. Daughter?! She must be his mistress. She

wanted to lose her temper, but she couldn't find a reason to do so, so she could only remain silent.

Roland, however, ignored her embarrassment and said, "Your daughter is so pretty!"

Roland was famous for protecting his men. No matter how silly the two old women were, they knew

that he was defending Monica. Mrs. Liu wanted to leave, but how could Roland let her get away?

"Congratulations on Mrs. Liu for your new son! When's his 100-day banquet? Please don't forget to

invite me!"

Mrs. Liu's face instantly turned red. Damn it. That was the son of a shameless mistress! She even

wanted to kill him!

Mr. Tian and Mr. Liu also noticed that something was wrong. Roland had always been a man who

wouldn't attack unless being attacked. He talked about their scandals in such a situation that must have

been because they offended him. Both of them felt embarrassed. At the same time, they stared at their

wives.

Roland did not say anything more. He held Monica's hand and walked in another direction. When they

left, he smiled at Mr. Tian and Mr. Liu. When they saw his fake smile, they felt really nervous. They had

wanted to get closer to Roland, but now it seemed that their efforts were in vain! Furthermore, they

might have offended him.

Quarmy saw the whole story. He used to believe that Roland was not sincere to Monica, but now he

was not sure.

Roland would never protect the woman he didn't like. But since he really liked Monica, why would he

ask her to lure Zoe?

Could it be that he had guessed all of this wrongly? When he saw how harmonious they were, his heart

was in pain!

Madrigal also felt uncomfortable. Originally, she was waiting to laugh at Monica, but she did not expect

that Roland would stand up for Monica without hesitation.

Why did everyone care about Monica? In the past, it was Leon and Quarmy, and now it was Roland!

She was so lucky!

Monica and Roland looked around and found an excuse to go outside. There was a small garden

outside the hall of the party. Monica walked out of the hall and went straight to the garden. She hadn't

worn high heels for a long time, and the bottom of her feet was burning with pain. Seeing that there

was no one around, she sat down on the flower bed, took off her high heels, and put her feet on the

ground to relieve the pain.

Quarmy had been observing Monica all this while. Seeing her leaving the hall, he also found an excuse

to go out. As soon as Monica saved her feet from pain, she heard a low voice behind her. "If Roland

sees you like this, he'll definitely feel disgusted!"

Monica sneered without turning around. "What does it have to do with you?"

Quarmy was provoked by the coldness in her tone. He approached her and asked, "Who is that man?"

"What man?" Monica was puzzled.

"You don't understand?" Quarmy's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes filled with danger. "I say, who is the

child's father? Don't tell me you have no idea who he is."

Monica's heart skipped a beat as she stood up. Quarmy's words startled her. It was only when she

heard the rest of his words that she finally reacted and began to put on her shoes. "Mr. Huo, you have

so much time that you start to concern about other people's personal matters, right?"

Quarmy was very dissatisfied with her answer. He reached out to hold her chin and forced her to look

at him. "Is it appropriate for you to leave your child's husband and flirt with another man like this?"

"I'm innocent, so I'm not afraid of being judged. But what right do you have to ask this?" Monica

sneered.

Quarmy was almost driven crazy by the mockery in her eyes. He held her chin so hard that she

couldn't help but cry out in pain. He still didn't let her go. "Monica, why are you so cruel? What on earth

is your heart made of?"

"Mr. Huo, I don't need you to care about my heart. We're already strangers. It's better for you to avoid

me in the future. What do you think, Mr. Huo?"

The darkness in Quarmy's eyes was deepening, which meant he was furious. Just when she felt a little

relieved to see that, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulder. In the blink of an eye, his

warm lips covered hers.

The smell was familiar and strange. Monica's mind was confused for a moment, but she reacted

immediately.

Did he still think she was the fool who could be easily deceived by him? She tried to push him away,

but he was holding her tightly and there was a disparity in strength between them. In her desperation,

she came up with an idea. She stomped hard on his feet with her high heels.

Quarmy was lost in her sweetness, so he didn't expect that she would suddenly attack him. The

intense pain made him let her go at once. Monica wiped her mouth in disgust. "Damn! You're f*cking

disgusting! How can you kiss me with your dirty mouth that has kissed countless women!"

Quarmy narrowed his eyes. "Monica, why are you pretending to be a chaste and virtuous lady? Roland

had countless girlfriends. Didn't you kiss him as well?"

"Mr. Huo, you're thinking too highly of yourself, aren't you? To tell you the truth, in my heart, you're

nothing compared to Roland!" With that said she left with large strides.

Quarmy looked at her back in a daze. He felt really desperate. In the past, no matter what happened,

he had never had this feeling before. But at this moment, he felt so desperate that he even wanted to

die.

He lit a cigarette, trying to relieve himself. However, it didn't work. Instead, he felt even more vexed.

He felt really frustrated. During the three years, he had never forgotten her. He had always dreamed

that they would be reunited, yet she had already drifted further and further away from him.

In the three years that she had disappeared, he had thought that there would be such a day, but he had

always been unwilling to believe it.

He always thought that he would have a chance, but when he heard the lovely little fellow call her

mother with his own ears, and saw her love for the little fellow with his own eyes, his heart feels as if it

had been poked by something.

Heh! Ridiculous! He was anxiously waiting for her to come back, but she had already become a

mother. Who was the man? He had been thinking about this question.

Leon? He remembered the scene that Leon appeared in the tube- shaped apartment with the child in

his arms. When she disappeared years ago, he had thought that she would be with Leon.

However, this thought hadn't been confirmed. It must be that the Gu Family did not agree, and looked

down upon Monica's family background. Deep down, he was secretly happy, because as long as the

Gu Family did not agree, she would never be able to marry Leon.

But now that he saw the child, he did not dare to think this way. Back then, she left without hesitation

for Leon. It was possible for her to have a child for the man she loved.

But wasn't she supposed to be infertile? Since she hadn't been pregnant for five years, how could she NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

have a child with Leon?

Or could it be that she was fertile, but she didn't want to have a child for him? Many ideas and thoughts

were entangled in Quarmy's mind. He felt like he was about to go crazy.

He had been struggling for the whole afternoon. He gritted his teeth and hated her with heart-

wrenching pain. He didn't want to work at all.

Originally, he didn't want to attend this party at all, but he couldn't refuse. He wanted to leave after

showing up for a while. He didn't expect to see her again.

She was so shining that he was attracted to her easily. Looking at Roland's care for her, he felt jealous

for no reason.

Seeing that she went to the garden alone, he followed her. He had a lot of questions to ask her, but

what he wanted to know the most was who the man was.

But she refused to answer him! This increased his guess. Was that man really Leon?

If so, why would she flirt with Roland? He did not forget that he saw her and Roland kiss in the car that

night.

Roland and Leon were friends. How could Roland flirt with Leon's woman?

If it was not Leon, who would that man be? Who on earth was worthy of letting her gave birth to and

raise a child?

There was a fire burning in his heart. Thinking of the fact that she had sex and gave birth to a child with

another man, he felt more and more upset.

Since she had a child, what else could it be impossible? But why was he so upset? He should not have

been so upset, should he?

The cigarette flickered between his fingers, reflecting his gloomy face. His heart was like a mess.

Monica didn't return to the hall. Instead, she went to the bathroom to retouch her makeup. Quarmy had

kissed her just now, and her current state would make Roland suspicious.

Monica stood in front of the mirror of the bathroom to retouch her makeup. She heard the sound of

hurried high heels. Then the door of the bathroom was pushed open, and a fragrant smell drifted in.

Without looking back, Monica knew who it was. A cold smile appeared on her lips. Madrigal really

cared about Quarmy! But so what? A dog couldn't change its behavior. Since Quarmy was able to

cheat on her when they were together, he could cheat on Madrigal again. No wonder Madrigal was so

nervous.

Just now, Madrigal was talking with a few familiar madams. After that, she didn't see Quarmy.

She immediately looked for Monica and found that only Roland was in the hall, so she guessed that

Quarmy must have gone to meet Monica.

She got angry and immediately went out to look for them. The several restrooms were all pushed open

but she found nothing unusual. Finally, she came to the bathroom.

Seeing Monica applying lipstick to her lips, Madrigal's pupils contracted. They had kissed just now!

Hatred instantly occupied her chest. Monica put away the lipstick and sneered at Madrigal. Then she

turned and walked out. "Wait a minute!" Madrigal stopped her. "What's up, Miss Jane?" Monica

sneered.

"Sister, I'm sorry about the things that happened in the past. I'm sorry. Please forgive me!"

"Forgive you? Do you think I will forgive a mistress who has ruined my family?"

"I know you hate me... It was Aunt Sun who came to beg me. She was too pitiful, so..." Madrigal bit her

lip and said words intermittently. She inherited Yale's viciousness, and she knew how to infuriate

others. "I didn't want to do that. I just wanted to help you to get a child. Quarmy and Aunt Sun wanted a

child so much, so I agreed. It was my fault that I didn't think it through. Please forgive me for the loss of

my child. We are sisters after all."

She kept apologizing, but every word implied that Quarmy had an affair with her and that Monica was

sterile. If this had happened in the past, Monica would have been furious. But now, she felt just

disgusted. She smiled sarcastically, "You're indeed Yale's daughter. So the mistress's genes can be

inherited? It's really eye-opening."

She was saying that Yale used to be Zoe's mistress. Madrigal said with anger, "My mom and Dad are

really in love with each other." "Is that so?" Monica sneered. "So you and Quarmy are also in love?

Madrigal, don't lie to yourself. In fact, you know yourself very well. You are as shameless as your mom.

No! I should say that you inherited your mother's penchant for seducing married men. You two are the

most shameless people in the world!"

"You can insult me, but you can't insult my mother. She is still your elder!" Madrigal argued with her.

"Monica, I want you to apologize!"

"Apologize?" Monica seemed to hear some funny words. "You don't deserve it."

She didn't want to argue with Madrigal anymore. She opened the door to leave, but Madrigal reached

out to pull her. Monica felt so disgusted that she gave her a slap.

Madrigal did not hide and bore the slap. Several clear prints immediately appeared on her white and

tender face. A woman came to the bathroom and saw the scene of Monica beating Madrigal clearly.

Madrigal was the daughter of the mayor, Quarmy's girlfriend, while Monica was just an unknown

nobody.

Did Monica want to die so badly? The woman immediately screamed. Seeing someone appeared,

Madrigal began to cover her face and cry.

Someone immediately reported this scene to the hall. Quarmy heard the noise in the garden. He threw

down the cigarette butt and turned around. In the corridor, he saw a group of people gathering there,

and at a glance, he saw Monica, who was surrounded in the middle. His heart tightened and he strode

over. When Madrigal saw Quarmy appear, she threw herself into his arms pitifully as if he was her

savior. She cried so hard that her heart felt like it was tearing apart.

Quarmy supported her body. "What happened?"

Madrigal just cried and did not answer. The woman who witnessed Monica beating Madrigal said, "I

don't know what happened either. When I came to the bathroom, I heard this lady scolding Miss Jane

and beating her."

"That's too much. How can you do this?" The people who knew Madrigal immediately began to support

her.

"Yes, how can you be so uneducated? What kind of an occasion is this? How can you hit people

casually?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Monica's mouth as she saw this scene. It turned out that Madrigal

did it on purpose. She deliberately angered her and let her hit her so that everyone would scold her for

being uneducated. It was indeed a good plan.

There was no shortage of weathercocks in this world. People immediately stood up for Madrigal. "Miss,

you must apologize to Miss Jane!"

"Apologize?" Monica sneered. "Why don't you ask me why I hit her?"

"No matter what, it's wrong."

"Mind your own business." Monica retorted. Her arrogance made everyone more and more dissatisfied.

"How can you do this? Apologize! Hurry up!" Monica turned a blind eye to everyone's disdain and

looked at Quarmy and Madrigal. "Miss Jane, are you sure you want me to apologize?"

Madrigal just cried and said nothing. She and Yale knew Monica very well. They knew that she was

extremely self-esteem. She would rather endure all the humiliation and pain than show their pain naked

in front of others.

Therefore, when Monica found out that Madrigal was pregnant with Quarmy's child, she left the house

without asking anything. She endured Quramy's cheating and her pain. Yale said that Monica was like

her mother who put her pride before life.

Such a person would never reveal the truth of the past, so Madrigal deliberately provoked her.

Madrigal had two purposes. On the one hand, she deliberately threw herself into Quarmy's arms to

provoke Monica. On the other hand, she wanted everyone to attack Monica together and cause Roland

to have a bad effect on Monica.

At this moment, she was halfway there. She just needed to wait for Roland's arrival. Madrigal cried

while looking for Roland in the crowd. It was strange, where did this guy go?

Quarmy's heart sank. He always knew Monica's character. Although she was strong, she was not

unreasonable. She must have her reasons to hit Madrigal. "I want to know the reason."

If it had been in the past, Monica would have been really angry and swear at Madrigal. In this way,

people who did not know the truth would attack her together. But she was no longer the Monica of the

past. She was not a fool, and she could see through Madrigal's plan.

Since she knew that, how could she let her succeed? She didn't curse at Madrigal. Naturally, she

wouldn't choose to remain silent. Instead, she looked at Quarmy with a smile. "Are you sure you want

to know the reason?"

Quarmy nodded. "Yes."

"Me too." Roland suddenly came out and stood next to Monica. He reached out to hold her hand. "With

me around, don't worry!"

He held her shoulder as if he was protecting his son.

"Then fine. I'll talk about why I hit Miss Jane and let everyone judge."

Madrigal didn't expect that Roland would choose to protect Monica in public, nor did she expect Monica

to say that. She was crying in Quarmy's arms, but when she heard Monica's words, her body froze.

Monica wouldn't tell others about her surrogacy, would she?

If everyone knew her surrogacy and that Monica was once Mrs. Huo, she would definitely lose face.

Even if she married Quarmy, she wouldn't be able to have a foothold in the upper class.

Monica cleared her throat. "The incident was caused by our discussion. We were talking about

mistresses, the hottest topic now..."

"Quarmy, I'm a little dizzy." Madrigal didn't expect Monica to be so different from before. Seeing that,

she immediately pretended to faint. Quarmy didn't expect Monica to bring up this topic either. The truth

of the incident back then wasn't what Monica thought. Madrigal wasn't a mistress. If Monica were to tell

others Madrigal's surrogacy, what should Madrigal do?

He immediately supported Madrigal. "I'll take you to the hospital!"

Quarmy helped Madrigal to leave. Without them, others were not in the mood to watch the show.

Everyone left.

Roland held Monica's waist to leave. When he got to the outside car, he laughed and said, "Monica, do

you have a violent tendency?"

"Mr. Wang, what do you mean?"

"You not only hit me but also hit your sister. Your sister is really good at acting. At first, she was very

aggressive, but when you were going to tell others that her mother was a mistress, she immediately

fainted. Quarmy also cooperated with her flawlessly. They are really a couple." Roland sighed and

suddenly remembered something. "Does he know that Madrigal's mom is a mistress?"

"He doesn't!"

"Right. With Jenny's personality, if she knew that Madrigal was the daughter of a mistress, she would

never let her son be with her no matter what."

"Why do you say that?" Monica was curious. Jenny had a very high evaluation of Madrigal.

"Jenny used to suffer because of it," said Roland.

"Quarmy's father cheated on her?"

"No, it's Jenny's father who cheated on her mother. She suffered a lot. Fortunately, Quarmy's father

loved her very much, but it didn't last long. He passed away young and Jenny put all her attention on

her son. Quarmy is everything to her. You can imagine that. Anyway, after Madrigal marries Quarmy,

she will suffer."

Monica did not speak. She knew how terrible Jenny was a long time ago. Suddenly, she began to

expect Jenny's reaction when she found that her beloved daughter- in- law was a mistress' daughter.

That would be fun.

Quarmy helped Madrigal onto the carriage. Madrigal's eyes were filled with tears. "Quarmy, I'm fine. I

was pretending to faint just now. I don't want to lose face in that kind of situation."

Quarmy naturally knew that. In that kind of situation, pretending to be unconscious was her only option.

Otherwise, Monica would have revealed everything that had happened back then.

"I just wanted to apologize to her and tell her the truth, but she didn't listen to my explanation. She

scolded me and beat me excitedly. Quarmy, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get you in trouble." Madrigal said

and sobbed in a low voice.

"I know." Thinking of what Madrigal had suffered, Quarmy felt a surge of guilt. "Madrigal, I'm sorry!"

Madrigal's heart was originally filled with apprehension because she was afraid that he wouldn't believe

her. When she heard his apology, she heaved a sigh of relief. In the future, she couldn't afford to

provoke Monica anymore.

After sending Madrigal home, Quarmy turned the car around and left. Madrigal watched him leave and

turned into her home. Yale was waiting for her in the living room. When she saw the clear fingerprints

on her face, she was shocked.

"What's going on?"

Zoe also came out of the study. Naturally, he also saw the fingerprints and tears on Madrigal's face. He

was also very surprised. "What happened?"

"Sister hit me!" Madrigal burst into tears and said. She said that Monica scolded her and her mother for

being mistresses. Anyway, it was Monica's fault.

Yale understood what she meant immediately. She reached out her hand to wipe Madrigal's tears, and

she also burst into tears. "It's all my fault. It's my fault. My poor child! You've been wronged!"

Zoe sighed. He knew clearly about Monica's bad temper. Looking at them crying like tears, he sighed.

"How can Moni do this? No matter what, Madrigal is still her sister. It's too absurd!"

It was the first time that Yale had heard Zoe's complaint to Monica. She was happy and decided to

work harder so that Monica would lose Zoe's favor. She wiped her tears and continued to cry. "It was

my fault. I shouldn't have come to you. If I hadn't come to you, it wouldn't have been like this. Moni

wouldn't have left you. My Madrigal... She wouldn't have been humiliated like this!"

Yale cried and said, "This is my retribution, but why should God blame it on my daughter? Zoe,

Madrigal is not a mistress. You know what happened in the past. We did it for Moni!"

Zoe sighed. "I know that you have been wronged. I will find Moni to tell her about this matter. Madrigal

is not a mistress, and she should stop hating Madrigal!"

As soon as Zoe said this, Yale and Madrigal stopped crying. If Zoe told Monica the truth, how could

they continue to act?

Back then, Monica had thought that Quarmy had cheated and divorced. If she were to find out that

Madrigal and Quarmy had nothing to do with each other, she would definitely forgive Quarmy. In that

case, wouldn't their plan be in vain?

"Zoe, don't look for Moni. She won't believe you." Yale stopped him in a hurry.

"Why?"

"Madrigal's surrogacy was to prevent Moni and Quarmy's marriage from being disturbed by Jenny, but

the result was not what we thought. Jenny forced Quarmy to divorce Moni with her life, and Moni hated

Madrigal so much. Now that Quarmy and Madrigal are about to get engaged, if you come to her at this

time, she will think that you made up this lie deliberately for us. She will hate you more, and I don't want

you and Moni to go back to the previous situation."

"Yes, Dad, Mom is right. Sister's hatred for us has been deeply rooted. Even if you explain it to her at

this time, she will not believe you." Madrigal immediately agreed.

"But won't you be misunderstood all the time?"

"Anyway, Madrigal has been misunderstood. We have to think of Moni. She has changed her attitude

towards you now. You must not defend us at this time, which will only push her further." Yale

persuaded.

Zoe sighed and was in a dilemma. Indeed, Yale was right. If he explained it to Moni at this time, she

must think that he was finding an excuse for Yale and her daughter. She hated him for taking them into

the family. If she misunderstood him again because of this matter, she would never forgive him.

Seeing that Zoe did not insist, Yale and Madrigal breathed a sigh of relief. Yale helped Madrigal into the

bedroom. After closing the door, Yale said with viciousness, "Don't provoke that b*tch in the future, at

least not before you and Quarmy get married."

Madrigal nodded. Thinking of Quarmy and Monica's kiss tonight, she felt uncomfortable. "Mom,

Quarmy still loves her. I'm afraid that we can't get married."

"So you have to keep your composure. I can wait so many years for you dad, can't you even wait a few

days for Quarmy?" Yale reprimanded. "Remember, don't provoke that b*tch now. Try your best to

please Jenny. As long as she's satisfied with you, she'll force Quarmy to marry you."

Quarmy drove to the tube- shaped apartment. Because of the demolition, the alley entrance was not as

lively as before. Quarmy opened the door and walked into the alley. Soon, he arrived at the familiar

building. He looked up at the familiar window, only to find that it was dark inside. He was stunned.

Monica hadn't returned yet?

Then what about Xanjer?

The number of times he had come here in the past three years was so countless. Xanjer's life was very

regular. He would definitely return home before 8 p.m.

This day was an exception. He looked at his watch. It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the

apartment was still dark. Had something happened?

Quarmy waited for a while longer downstairs, but he still didn't see anyone come back. A woman living

in the tube- shaped apartment came back. She had seen him much time. Every time he would stand

next to a big tree downstairs and look up at that window in a dace. If it weren't for the fact that he was

dressed splendidly, she would have suspected that he was insane.

Wasn't it just a window? Why did he keep looking at it?

Quarmy pointed at the window of Monica's apartment and asked, "Madam, do you know where this

family is?"

The woman looked at Quarmy in confusion. "Are you a friend or a relative of this family?"

"Well, I'm a distant relative of them." He replied.

"A distant relative?" The woman showed a doubtful look. After hesitating for a while, she said, "They

have moved out."

"Moved out? When?"

"It has been a few days. This place is going to be demolished. Everyone is ready to move out."

"Do you know where they are going?"

"I think he moved in with their in-laws." The woman replied.

"Their in-laws?" Quarmy was stunned. Was Monica married? This truly shocked him.

"You're a relative of this family. Don't you know that girl is married?" The woman looked at Quarmy in

confusion. "I..." He didn't know how to reply.

The woman ignored him and turned around to go upstairs, but he stood rooted to the ground in a daze.

The price of the demolition of her apartment was quite low. Given her temper, she would have made a

scene if she encountered such an unfair thing. However, the current situation was beyond his

imagination. Monica moved out directly.

Last time, he did something unfair to Summer. He thought that she would continue to cause trouble, but

she suddenly disappeared. He spent the following ten days like a year, so he had to let Summer return

to her position. She appeared as soon as he gave the order.

It seemed that she could see through him. This time, he was even more surprised. In the face of such a

low price of demolition, she moved out without any doubts.

She remembered the hostility she had toward his mother in the restaurant that day. It was said that

people who loved each other would be willing to give in for each other. Monica had never put up with

his mother. Since she married him, she had been arguing with his mother. It was no wonder that Jenny

did not like her. This also proved that Monica had never loved him.

Because she didn't care about him, so she agreed to divorce him without attachments at all. Even

facing such harsh conditions, she still didn't hesitate.

He was still in the past, but she had long been ready to move on. Quarmy suddenly felt that it was

really ironic.
