Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 97

Monica turned around and saw Jim staring at her.

After staring at each other for a while, Jim came to his senses and asked, "You... Are you Hannah's daughter?"

Monica nodded, but the way she looked at Jim was very unfriendly. "Who are you, Sir? What are you doing here?"

"I'm a friend of Hannah..."

"Friend? Sir, are you sure? My mother was a married woman. How could you be friends with her?" Monica was not polite at all. Whatever their relationship used to be, they should be responsible for their families. In her memory, her parents were a loving couple. However, Jim abandoned his wife and son in the name of love. Not only did he ruin a family's happiness, but he also ruined a woman's reputation. Monica had no good impression of him at all.

"I... Your mother and I were alumni." Jim was a little embarrassed. He didn't know where to put the roses in his hand.

"Sir, are you out of your mind? Who on earth are you? Why are you the only alum who came to see her? What are you doing here?" Monica looked at Jim coldly. A married man who had a mistress came here with roses. Didn't he know what kind of effect his behavior would have? "My mother is pure and innocent all her life. I don't want to see anything bad happen to my mother's reputation. Please behave yourself and don't disturb her anymore!"

Jim stood in the same place in a daze, neither advancing nor retreating. Hannah's daughter not only looked like her, but also had the same temper with her.

When Monica left, the sky was a little gloomy. It looked like it was going to rain. Monica knew how bad the weather in Jiang City was. She wanted to take a taxi, but this place was too remote. She had no choice but to wait for a bus. Fortunately, she got on the bus before the heavy rain came.

The bus couldn't go straight to her destination. It was still raining when she got off the bus. She stood alone on the bus station and waited for another bus. The rain blowing by the wind wet her clothes and stuck on her cold body.

A car passed through the bus station, and the splashing rain poured on her whole body. Monica continued to stand with no expression on her face. Anyway, she was already in a mess.

Finally, she saw a taxi. She took the taxi and went home. When she arrived at the Jane family, she saw a car parked outside the villa from a distance. Although it was raining, she saw the license plate clearly. "Quarmy is here too?"

She had just been back for two days, and Quarmy came to the Jane family twice. Madrigal was really important to him.

Monica saw Quarmy open the car door and hold the umbrella for Madrigal, who nestled in his arms. See his loving expression, Monica suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. In the past, she was the one he had been taken care of. He once said that he would be in love with her forever.

The taxi stopped. Monica paid the driver and rushed out of the car. When she passed by Quarmy and Madrigal, she heard Madrigal's exclamation. "Sister?"

Monica didn't stop but strode into the villa. Seeing her wet clothes, Zoe and Yale were shocked. Zoe stood up and asked, "Moni, what's wrong with you?"

"I got caught in the rain!" Monica indifferently replied and rushed to the stairs on the second floor. When she closed the door, she heard Yale's voice. "Ah! Madrigal, what's wrong with you?"

Monica took off her wet clothes and soaked herself in hot water. The comfortable feeling spread from her skin to her nerves. She couldn't help sneezing.

She didn't know how long she had spent in the bathtub. She didn't get out of the bathtub and put on her clothes until she heard a knock at the door. She opened the door and saw Lancy with a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea in her hand.

It made Monica's eyes a little moist. Only Lancy really cared about her in this house. She leaned over and let Lancy come in. When she closed the door, she saw Quarmy coming from the other end of the corridor.

Monica remembered that it was Madrigal's room was in the other end of the corridor. It seemed that Quarmy really cared about her. Monica closed the door expressionlessly.

She turned back and took the bowl from Lancy. "Lancy, please sit down!"

Lancy did not sit down. "Moni, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Monica thought for a moment and said, "Noddles. I want to eat your noddles."

Lancy nodded. "I'll go and get it for you." As she spoke, she walked to the door. Then, she turned back. "Moni, Miss Madrigal is injured. Why don't you go check on her?"

Monica was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. "I'll go check on her later."

Hearing that, Lancy opened the door and went out.

In fact, Monica didn't want to do it at all. She knew what Lancy meant. She couldn't be too cold. She dried her hair, changed her clothes, and went to Madrigal's room. The door of Madrigal's room was open, and there were three people inside. Seeing Monica, they were all surprised.

Monica ignored their surprised look and walked in. "Lancy told me that you were injured, so I came to see you."

"Thank you for your concern, Sister. I just fell down and scratched my skin. I'm fine now." Madrigal replied.

Yale, who was on the other side, added, "Be careful. Fortunately, Quarmy was here. Otherwise, you would suffer a lot."

Her words made Madrigal look at Quarmy with affection. Quarmy had a gentle smile on his face, which broke Monica's heart.

She controlled herself and said, "I have some medicine from abroad. It's very effective for this kind of injury. Let me get it for you."

"No need." Madrigal refused in a hurry. "Quarmy has already applied medicine to me. I'm fine now."

Monica didn't have any medicine at all. She knew that Madrigal wouldn't dare to use her medicine, so she said so. Her mission was completed and it was time for her to go back and eat noodles. After showing her concern, she left.

She didn't go back to her room, but went downstairs to the kitchen. Lancy was making noddles for her. Seeing her, Lancy complained, "Moni, why are you here? I'll bring it to you."

Monica just smiled and said nothing. Lancy quickly cooked noodles and took them to the dining room. Monica started to eat. After a while, she heard footsteps.

Quarmy said coldly, "You don't have any medicine at all, do you?"

Monica did not answer. She was very focused on eating noodles. Quarmy walked up to her. "Monica, I really underestimated you. I didn't expect that you would be so good at acting now. So you've been studying acting all these years?"

"Mr. Huo! No, Brother-in-law. What do you want?" Monica looked up at Quarmy.

"Room A8, XS Garden. I'll wait for you tonight!" After saying this, a string of delicate keys were placed in front of Monica. He turned around and left. Monica looked at the keys with a mocking smile. She slowly finished the noodles and went upstairs with the keys. At ten o'clock in the evening, Quarmy had waited for Monica for nearly three hours. When he was extremely impatient, he finally heard the sound of the door opening. He tried not to look at the door, but stared intently at the television.

The woman changed into slippers and came over. As she walked in, a pungent perfume smell approached. Quarmy continued to watch the TV as if nothing had happened. He knew that Monica would not be obedient. It seemed that she wanted to disgust him by dressing herself up in heavy makeup. Quarmy did not care about it at all. He would like to see how this woman would torture him tonight.

The closer the woman got, the stronger the pungent fragrance became. "Achoo!" Quarmy sneezed a few times. A soft body approached him. The woman handed him a tissue. He took it and suddenly found something wrong. Monica's hands were slender and white. This woman was not Monica!

He turned around and jumped up after seeing the woman. "Who are you?"

The woman sitting next to him was a stranger with heavy makeup. She winked at Quarmy and said, "I'm here to spend the wonderful night with you!"

"Wonderful night?" Quarmy looked at the pretty woman in front of him and quickly understood what was going on. "Get out!" He pointed at the door.

Looking at Quarmy's angry eyes, the woman stood up unwillingly. She met a very beautiful woman in the bar before, who asked her to come here.

After the woman negotiated the price with her, she gave her a string of keys and paid her two thousand yuan in advance. She asked her to serve a young and handsome president in XS Garden. If she did it well, she would get a tip.

The people who lived in XS Garden were all rich. The woman was very happy, so she took a taxi here with the keys. She did not believe that the president would be young and handsome. However, when she opened the door and saw the handsome guy who was staring at TV on the sofa, she was really satisfied.

She had never seen such a handsome person before! She was even willing to sleep with him for free. However, the handsome guy suddenly lost his temper and asked her to get out!

She really didn't want to leave, but the eyes of the handsome guy were a little scary. She felt cold all over, so she decided to leave. When she walked to the door, she asked him again, "Sir, are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?"

"Get out!" The answer was still the same!

She left unwillingly. Before she left, she put the keys at the door. Quarmy felt sick to the extreme. When he thought that the first woman who came into the well-arranged house was a w*ore, he was furious.

He called Noah, asking him to replace the brand-new couch in the living room. He also asked Noah to have the housekeeping people clean the house thoroughly, especially the living room.

After that, he drove away from XS Garden. The thought that Monica played tricks on him like this made him burning with anger. She blocked his number, refused to answer strange phone calls, and believed that he would not go to the Jane family to find her directly. She must have thought that he could do nothing to her. However, she was wrong. He must see her tonight.

The w*ore called Monica. "He drove me out."

Monica was not surprised. After all, she just wanted to disgust him. Based on what the w*ore said, Quarmy Huo must be very angry. Monica curled her lips. Since he had mysophobia, he must not fall asleep tonight.

While Monica was gloating in her heart, Lancy knocked on the door. "Moni, someone called us and said that something happened to your uncle. He asked you to go check on him now!"

Hearing that, Monica picked up her bag and ran out. When she was about to take a taxi on the side of the road, a car suddenly rushed out and parked in front of her.

Seeing Quarmy, Monica instantly realized that she had been fooled. She got on the car under his gaze. He looked at her sinisterly for a few minutes. "Monica, how dare you!"

"What do you mean, Mr. Huo?" Monica looked at him fearlessly.

"You don't know? Good!" Quarmy looked at Monica's innocent look and gnashed his teeth. She thought that he could do nothing to her as long as she blocked his number? Keep dreaming! He handed her a mobile phone and said, "This is for you. It has to be turned on for twenty-four hours a day!"

"Thank you! In fact, you don't have to give it to me personally. Don't you have an assistant?" Monica took the phone and put it in her bag.

"You think I came here just to give you the phone?" Quarmy sneered.

"Or what?" Monica looked at Quarmy coldly. "Today is my mother's death anniversary. You aren't going to be a monster today, are you?"

Quarmy was stunned for a moment. Today was Monica's mother's death anniversary? Damn it! He forgot it! "I..." He didn't know what to say.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Monica's mouth. "I'll keep the phone on for 24 hours. You can ask me to do anything for you, but not today!" She got off the car after saying this.

Looking at her back, his heart ached. Since when had she not only been indifferent to him, but also hated him? Quarmy leaned back on the chair and recalled carefully. Monica's hatred for him seemed to have begun since his engagement with Madrigal.

He couldn't help thinking of her phone call that night. She asked him not to be engaged to Madrigal, and said she would consider being with him. She must have hated him so much because of his coldness and ruthlessness.

Quarmy sighed deeply. He deserved it! He gave up such a good opportunity.

The next morning, the news of the engagement of Roland and Mandy in the United States was reported. When Monica opened the door, she heard Madrigal and Yale talking about it loudly in the living room.

"Mandy is beautiful and from a good family. She is a perfect match for Roland in all aspects!" Madrigal deliberately said it loudly, fearing that Monica could not hear her.

Monica's hand, which was holding the door handle, suddenly froze. It was surprising that Roland was engaged to Mandy so soon! Though it was a normal thing, there was an unspeakable feeling in her heart when she heard that.

Madrigal and Yale naturally would not give up this opportunity to provoke Monica. They talked about Roland's engagement happily.

Monica wanted to calm down, but she failed. The two b*tches just wanted to make her sad. She opened the door and strode out.

She didn't know where she was going, so she wandered around aimlessly. She didn't stop until she felt the pain of her feet.

Only then did she find that she came out empty-handed. She felt in her pocket and found a few coins. It seemed that she was not that unlucky.

The news of Roland's engagement came so suddenly that Quarmy had just found out. He felt relieved. Compared with Leon, Roland was a strong enemy for him. Leon was a gentleman, so he would not use special means to get Monica. However, Roland was different. He was a playboy who would not play cards according to common sense. Quarmy didn't want Monica to stay with Roland at all.

Although Roland was engaged, Quarmy had only been relieved for a while. Wasn't Roland determined to marry Monica? Why did he suddenly get engaged to Mandy? Was it because Monica became his lover?

No man could accept a woman he liked to have sex with another man. Naturally, Roland wouldn't be an exception. Quarmy felt a little guilty. Monica hated him partly because he had separated her from Roland.

He called Monica and wanted to ask her out, but no one answered the phone. Quarmy couldn't sit still. He had to go find Monica.

After waiting for more than an hour near the Jane family, he finally saw Monica. She put her hands in her pockets and looked lonely. He went up to her. "Monica!"

She looked at him indifferently. "Mr. Huo, what can I do for you?"

Quarmy reached out and took her hand. "I want to talk to you."

"Go ahead!"

"Monica, I haven't heard of Coco's illness until now. I'm sorry." Quarmy's face was full of regret and his words were sincere, but Monica only felt it ironic. She would never forget Quarmy's refusal that night.

"Mr. Huo, you don't have to apologize. After all, we are strangers."

Her indifferent expression and harsh words made his heart ached. "Monica, I... I just want to ask you one thing. Is what you said that night true?"

"What are you talking about?"

"That night, you called me." A mocking smile appeared at the comer of Monica's mouth. "Mr. Huo, I have answered this question before. Let me answer it again. Please listen carefully. I was crazy at that time, so I called you."

"Moni, I'm sorry!" After all, they had been a couple for five years. At this time, Quarmy finally understood what he had missed. "I didn't mean to say that. I was just afraid that you were playing tricks on me, so I..."

"At that time, I did want to play tricks on you, so I called you. Fortunately, you didn't fall into my trap." Monica interrupted him.

"Moni, you don't have to worry too much about Coco's illness. I will help you."

"How? Give me money? Quarmy, I'm telling you that I don't need your money or your so-called concern. Forget it!"

"Moni, it's not just money. I can take care of you and your child."

"Take care of us? Do you deserve it?" Monica sneered. What right did a man who was engaged with another woman have to say that? Monica wanted to satirize Quarmy, but she then thought it was unnecessary. "Mr. Huo, I am very tired now. If there's nothing else, I'd like to go back and have a rest."

"Moni!" Quarmy wanted to say more, but a gentle voice suddenly sounded. "Quarmy, Sister?"
