At dawn, Quarmy opened his eyes from deep sleep. Monica was still sleeping. He distressedly hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Moni, I'm sorry!"
He knew how crazy he was last night, but he couldn't control himself at all. In the car, he could still hold on. But when he returned home and saw Monica, he rushed to her like a hungry wolf.
He had sex with her on the sofa, and the burning fire in his body finally went out a little bit. He hugged her and apologized. Regardless of her unwillingness, he took her back to the bedroom. He wanted to bathe her, but in just a few minutes, he was turned on again, so he had sex with her again.
He heard Monica begging him to stop, but he could not control himself.
Monica's body was full of traces. Quarmy reached out his hand to gently touch the kiss marks on her neck. His eyes were dark. Did his mother want to force him to leave the Huo Family?
He was not an unfilial person, and he despised unfilial people.. He always thought that if he could not treat his parents well, he'd lose the right to be a human being.
He knew that his mother had suffered a lot for him, so he tolerated his mother to challenge his bottom line again and again. But this time, he was really disappointed.
How could she do such a shameless thing? He was very filial, but not stupid. His mother went too far this time, and he would not let it go.
Madrigal was not innocent, either. He had always thought that she was kind, but what happened last night disappointed him. Didn't she want him and Monica to be together? Why did she still want to seduce him?
No matter what, Madrigal knew clearly that he loved Monica and he couldn't bear to leave Monica. Therefore, her behavior was unforgivable. She must not be as kind as she appeared.
In the past, he even felt guilty for her. He was really too naive. Quarmy was very glad that he didn't fall into the trap. Otherwise, he could never be with Monica again.
Monica in his arms moved and opened her eyes. "Moni, you're awake!1' Quarmy's eyes were full of guilt.
Monica felt very painful all over. "Quarmy, were you crazy last night?"
"Moni, I'm sorry!" Quarmy apologized.
Monica wanted to scold him, but when she saw the wounds on his skin, she gave up. Last night, Quarmy was as crazy as a wolf. She was so painful that she gasped and scratched him. His body was covered with scratch marks, and his face was also injured. Therefore, Monica couldn't bear to scold him. "What happened last night?"
Quarmy sighed. "I drank too much. I'm sorry!" If he told her his mother's plan, Monica might despise his mother.
He finally understood why Monica refused to tell him about her relationship with Zoe. For Monica, it was a shame to have such a father as Zoe.
Last night, Quarmy did come back with the smell of alcohol, and he seemed to be a bit unconscious. Although Monica wondered why he was so drunk, she wouldn't think that it was caused by Jenny. Monica believed his explanation. "You should drink less. You have a bad stomach."
Her concern made Quarmy almost burst into tears. He hugged her tightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't drink so much in the future."
"Quarmy, be gentle. You hurt me." He hugged her so hard that she couldn't help complaining.
"I'm sorry! I'm too excited!" Quarmy quickly let go of her and lowered his head to kiss her. "Are you hungry? I'm going to make breakfast for you."
"Forget it, let me do it." Monica got up. Quarmy suspected that he had heard it wrong. He looked at her dazedly. She glared at him and said, "What, are you surprised?"
"I'm not surprised, I'm touched!" Indeed, this is the first time Monica had offered to make breakfast since she moved in. Before that, she refused to do it at the excuse of not knowing how to cook. Did it mean that she was ready to accept him again?
When Zoe came back from morning training, he saw Madrigal sitting on the sofa. Seeing him come back, Madrigal smiled and said, "Dad, morning!"
Zoe nodded and sat down beside her. Madrigal said apologetically, "Dad, I'm sorry! I drank too much last night! I won't do it next time!"
"Really?" Zoe asked with no warmth in his eyes. "Yes." Madrigal replied, "Dad, I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
Zoe didn't say anything. Madrigal added, "Dad, my sister hasn't been home for a long time. I miss her. Why don't I ask Lassie to buy her favorite food? I want to invite my sister and brother-in-law here for dinner."
The word "brother- in- law" made Zoe surprised. Seeing her natural expression, he nodded slightly. Madrigal knew that he agreed. Her mother was right. In Zoe's heart, Monica was his sweetheart while she was nothing. Madrigal was angry, but she didn't show it on her face. "I'll call her now!"
Seeing that, Zoe stopped her. "Forget it, Moni doesn't like you. I'll call her!"
Quarmy went to the company after breakfast. Noah was very surprised to see him. "Why don't you rest at home?"
"The bidding is about to begin. I'm not at ease."
"There's no problem with the bid document. What matters is the design, but we can do nothing about it. I just got a message..." Suddenly, Noah glanced at Quarmy and saw the scar on his face. He suddenly stopped the topic and asked cautiously, "Is it left by Madam?"
Quarmy sat down and nodded. "What message?"
Seeing that Quarmy was not unhappy, Noah was relieved. "It's about Mayor Jane. He seems to be in trouble."
"Is this about the suspension?"
"Not. It has something to do with Terry, the boss of TD Group."
Quarmy frowned. This couldn't be a small thing. Was Zoe really going down this time?
While he was thinking, his phone rang. It was from Zoe. Zoe asked Monica and him to go back to the Jane family. Quarmy wanted to talk to Zoe about Madrigal's matter, so he agreed without hesitation.
Zoe hung up the phone and called Monica. Monica's voice was cold. "Mayor Jane, you're out of the hospital?"
Zoe did not care about her attitude. "Moni, come back with Quarmy for dinner tonight."
"Mayor Jane, do you really want to see Quarmy?" Monica asked.
Zoe laughed dryly. "Moni, I'm glad that you and Quarmy can get back together. I've always wanted you to live a good life! At that time, I made wrong decision, but I never thought about hurting you!"
"Stop! I don't want to mention this anymore." Monica interrupted him. Zoe could say these nonsense naturally, which made her feel uncomfortable. "Mayor Jane, you are a magnanimous official. But your mistress and illegitimate daughter are ordinary people. Are you sure they want to see us?"
"They know who they are." Zoe answered.
Well said! Since Zoe pretended to be sick last time, Monica had no longer believed him. Her intuition told her that Zoe asked her to go back for a reason. However, no matter what plans he had, she didn't care. She just needed to indifferently enjoy the Jane family's acting. No matter what, she would not be deceived by Zoe again. Quarmy and Monica came to the Jane family at six o'clock in the evening. When hearing the sound of the car, Lancy came out. Then, Zoe, Yale and Madrigal all came out.
As Monica expected, everyone had smiles on their faces. Monica deliberately paid more attention to Yale and Madrigal's expression. Monica secretly admired their acting in her heart. How could they still smile at this time? They were really good at acting.
Quarmy opened the trunk and took out a lot of gifts. Zoe took them with a smile and said, "Don't do this next time!"
"That's what I should do!" Quarmy answered with a smile. He continued to take gifts out of the car. The number of gifts was more than double what he had brought before.
Madrigal looked at the smile on Quarmy's face and felt a sharp pain in her heart. This was the real Quarmy. Even his eyes were also smiling. She had never seen him so happy before.
She had loved him for so many years and spent nine years trying to get him. But what did she get in the end? Except for humiliation and tears, she got nothing. Madrigal really hated him. Her mother was right. She was too stupid. It was not worth loving only one person and willing to be his vassal. From now on, she would never be stupid again.
Yale poked Madrigal. When Madrigal came to her senses, she found that her mother, Zoe, and even Lancy all had gifts in their hands. Monica had been looking at Madrigal with a sneer. Although Madrigal was smiling, Monica could tell that she was obviously absent- minded. Madrigal was not as good at acting as Yale. It was already very good for Madrigal to be able to keep calm.
Monica thought that Madrigal was really awesome. If she encountered such a thing, she wouldn't be as calm as Madrigal. Seeing Yale reach out to poke Madrigal, Monica's sneer became deeper. She glanced at Zoe. She didn't know if he saw their movements, or whether he really knew Yale and Madrigal.
