Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 99

Monica went home directly after leaving the hotel. On her way home, she found that she had done something wrong. How could she explain her relationship with Quarmy to the manager?

The next day when she went to the company, her heart was in a mess. She was afraid that the manager would ask about her relationship with Quarmy, but he didn't. His attitude was the same as usual, and he didn't gossip about where she and Quarmy went last night.

Monica breathed a sigh of relief. She was secretly glad that she had met a good manager. In fact, the manager just didn't dare to gossip. Last night, after she was taken away by Quarmy, Noah specifically asked the manager to be kind to Monica.

This was a great thing. With the help of Noah, he would definitely be promoted. The manager was not a fool. Money was obviously more important than curiosity.

At lunch time, Monica received a call from Mary. Only then did she find that her jade pendant was lost. It must have been lost when that b*stard was taking off her clothes in the bathroom. It was left by her mother, but fortunately, Mary founded it.

Monica went to the cafe next to the company to meet Mary. Mary took out the jade pendant and handed it to Monica. Monica thanked her and was ready to put it into her bag. Mary suddenly reminded her, "Monica, don't you want to check it?" "Why?" Monica was stunned.

"Aren't you afraid that it's a fake?" Mary asked half-jokingly.

"Well, I believe in you."

Mary asked again, "This jade pendant looks very valuable. Did your family give it to you?"

Monica smiled. "It's not valuable, but it means a lot to me. After all, it's my mother's relic. Thank you very much, Tina."

Her words shocked Mary. "You mom is from Jiang City, isn't she?"

"Yes!" Monica answered.

"Where in Jiang City is she from?" Mary asked again. Monica patiently answered, but Mary didn't stop. "Is there any relative of your mother in Jiang City?"

Her non- stop questions made Monica a little impatient. Although she was grateful to Mary, it did not mean that she liked Mary and was willing to share her privacy.

Both of them were now Quarmy's lovers. It was weird for them to get together to chat. Monica said impolitely, "I still have to work. Good bye, Tina!"

Monica left in a hurry. Mary frowned. She didn't expect that the jade pendant was the relic of Monica's mother. Why was it the same as what her mother had left to her? Was there any connection between her mother and Monica's mother?

Since her adoptive parents told her that she was not their own daughter, she had never given up looking for her own mother. Although her mother left her in the orphanage and didn't care about her, she always thought that she had her reasons. Maternal love was great, and no mother would be willing to leave her own children.

Over the years, she had not given up looking for her mother, but her ability was limited. All she had was just a jade pendant. The world was so big that she often felt hopeless.

Unexpectedly, she accidentally found such an important clue. The two jade pendants were the same. Was there any relationship between her and Monica?

Not long after Mary returned to the company, Quarmy called her and asked her to go to his office. He looked unhappy. "What did you say to Monica?"

"I..." Mary hesitated. Should she tell Quarmy about this? Since she knew him, he had never asked her about her family, and she had never taken the initiative to tell him. This matter was a little tricky, and it was beyond her ability. She'd better ask for Quarmy's help.

Therefore, she told Quarmy the jade pendant thing. Quarmy was obviously surprised. He helped Mary because she and Monica looked alike. After hearing what Mary said, he looked her up and down carefully. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she looked like Monica.

Was Mary really related to Monica? This matter had to be investigated thoroughly.

Monica got off work and returned home. The house exuded a strong smell of Chinese medicine. In the five years she was married to Quarmy, she drank a lot of Chinese medicine. She almost vomited when she smelled it. She suppressed her nausea and said, "Lancy, who is sick?"

Yale, who was on the sofa, answered, "No one is sick. Madrigal is taking tonics."

After saying this, she added, "Quarmy said that Madrigal was too weak, so he got a famous doctor for her."

Yale said it on purpose. Monica was naturally not a fool. She smiled faintly and went upstairs. She heard Madrigal giving instructions to Lancy. "Be careful. Quarmy said that he spent a lot of energy on getting it. It's priceless!"

Priceless! Monica sneered in her heart. She closed the door and ignored Madrigal's showing off. Although she was not sad, she was a bit comfortable.

She sat on the sofa in the bedroom and sighed heavily. Then, she received a call from Quarmy. "When are you moving in?"

Monica was silent for a while before answering, "Tomorrow."

She had already wasted a chance. This time, she must succeed. No matter how disgusting Quarmy was, he was better than the smell of Chinese medicine.

She was already deeply afraid of the taste of Chinese medicine! Quarmy was quite satisfied with her answer, and his tone was also very gentle. He said that he would come to pick her up.

Monica refused him. She said that she was just his mistress, so he didn't have to do it personally. He just needed to let Noah send the keys to her company.

Her answer made Quarmy angry. Then, he hung up.

Monica moved into XS Garden the next day. When she moved out of the Jane family, she told Zoe that she would go back to accompany Xanjer for a few days. Zoe did not stop her and reminded her to move back after that.

Yale and Madrigal smiled happily when they saw that Monica was leaving. Without an eyesore, the family could finally be peaceful.

XS Garden had once been a hot topic in Jiang City. However, Monica did not know it. She was having a hard time when Quarmy was establishing it. How could she have the mood to pay attention to it?

When she opened the door, she was shocked by the decoration inside. It was really generous for Quarmy to buy such a beautiful house for his mistress.

She only brought a few changes of clothes and belongings. She thought that if she was lucky enough, she wouldn't be here for more than a month.

She opened the shoe cabinet and saw furry cute slippers inside. There was a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth. She used to like to buy cute things when she lived with Quarmy. She'd bought a lot of cute slippers, pajamas, and cups. Quarmy once protested that it looked too childish. Therefore, seeing the cute slippers, Monica thought that there was something wrong with her eyes.

After all these years of sufferings, she was no longer the girl who loved dreaming and fantasy. Life was so cruel, forcing her to change her habits and personalities.

Monica did not use the slippers in the shoe cabinet. Instead, she changed into her own slippers. Quarmy was so dirty, so she didn't want to use his stuff.

Monica carried her luggage upstairs. Then, she took out her clothes and wanted to hang them in the wardrobe. When she opened the wardrobe, she was shocked. There were cute pajamas inside.

She smiled bitterly, picked a free place to hang her clothes, and put toiletries into the bathroom. When she saw the cute cups in the bathroom, she shook her head. She didn't expect that he was addicted to cute things after divorcing her. Life was fu*king like a farce.

After that, she was ready to clean up the room, but she heard the sound of a car braking outside. She was very clear that it was Quarmy's car. He came really fast!

She gave up tidying up and went downstairs. Quarmy came in. It seemed that he was in a good mood. However, after seeing her gray slippers, his face obviously changed. "Aren't there slippers in the shoe cabinet?"

This man was really funny. Why did he have to care what slippers she was wearing? She answered in a harsh tone, "I'm used to using my own things."

Monica was very clearly challenging him. Quarmy suppressed his anger. "Let's go out for dinner!"

Monica did not speak and went straight to the door. Quarmy was stunned and followed her. After getting in the car, he wanted to put the seat belt for her, but she didn't give him the chance. He was a little embarrassed and put his hand back on the steering wheel. "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever," Monica replied lightly. She had been looking outside of the window. Quarmy frowned. "There's no such dish."

"I'll eat whatever you eat. I'm not picky." Quarmy shut up and started the car. There was a nice Sichuan restaurant nearby. Although Monica was not picky, she had a unique affection for spicy food. He decided to go there to have their first meal.

The car was moving, but both of them were silent. Monica had been looking at the street outside. In the past, she would never ignore him. Quarmy felt upset. He really wanted to say something, but his phone rang. Then, Madrigal's gentle and spoiled voice sounded. "Quarmy, this medicine is so bitter!"

Quarmy's voice was very gentle. "Be good. It's good for your health..."

Monica wanted to ignore it, but she was unable to do so. Hearing his gentle words, she felt somewhat sad.

Finally, their intimate conversation came to an end, and the car also stopped at the entrance of the Sichuan restaurant.

"Although this restaurant is small, it is very authentic." Quarmy opened the car door and got off the car. "I have eaten here twice. The food here is very good."

Monica followed him without saying a word. Obviously, he was a regular guest here. When the boss saw him, he immediately greeted him politely. When he saw Monica, his eyes lit up. "This is the first time that you brought a female guest here. Is she your girlfriend or wife?"

"My wife!" Quarmy sat down and picked up the menu. When he said this, he did not look at Monica, and there was no emotion in his voice.

"Oh, I see." The boss quickly flattered him. "Your wife is so beautiful, and you two are a perfect match!"

When Monica heard this, she immediately got goosebumps. She smiled coldly and explained, "Mr. Huo's joking. I'm just his lover."

The boss was obviously stunned. No matter how sophisticated he was, he did not know what to say after hearing that. Quarmy's heart sank, but his expression did not change. He began to order calmly.

The boss took the menu and went to the kitchen.

After that, Quarmy looked at Monica. "You're an adult. Don't you know what to say or not?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo. I'm used to telling the truth."

While they were talking, the waiter brought two dishes. They were were radish pickles and pickled pepper chicken feet, which were common in the Sichuan restaurants. Quarmy took the initiative to pick up a piece of radish for Monica. "Try this. This is the best radish I have ever eaten."

Monica looked at the radish and smiled bitterly in her heart. The best radish! For the rich, it was indeed very delicious because they seldom ate it. But for her, this was just common. It was what she ate the most during pregnancy, because it was a simple, cheap dish that tasted good. At that time, she ate it every day, which made her feel uncomfortable when she saw it again at this moment.

Seeing that she didn't move, Quarmy frowned. "Open your mouth!"

The chopsticks had already reached her mouth. Looking at the radish on the chopsticks, Monica frowned and finally opened her mouth to eat it. It was not as delicious as Quarmy said. It was no different from other radish she had eaten. Monica frowned slightly and swallowed it, refusing to eat another one.

In Quarmy's eyes, she was refusing him. It made him feel more unhappy. However, when he remembered that today was a special day, he finally suppressed his unhappiness.

The dishes ordered by Quarmy were served one after another. These were all Monica's favorite foods, so she didn't hesitate to pick up the chopsticks and began to eat.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Quarmy was suddenly satisfied. He sat across from her and watched her eat with no pretense. The tenderness in his eyes was getting more and more.

Suddenly, he thought it was a dream. Yesterday, when he asked when she would move in, he was a bit excited. He hoped that she could remember what day today was.

Sure enough, she did not let him down. She promised to move in today, which meant that did not forget what day it was, right? Eight years ago, on this day, she and him went on our their date. Eight years later, they began to date again. Anyway, it was a good beginning.

He hoped to start over with her and compensate her for everything he owed her.

Monica was really hungry. She was basically eating without scruple. When she was almost full, she suddenly looked up and found that Quarmy was staring at her.

He must have been shocked by her eating manner. Madrigal was gentle, noble and elegant. Quarmy was used to have dinner with ladies like her. No wonder that he would be shocked.

Monica admitted that she was not a lady, but did he have to be so shocked? She suddenly realized that this man was becoming more and more picky. She had never seen him like this before!

"Mr. Huo, why don't you eat?" Monica couldn't help but ask.

Quarmy came to his senses and said, "It's a pleasure to watch you eat."

He seemed to have said the same thing before, but she couldn't remember it correctly. She was slightly surprised. "Mr. Huo is really good at joking."

"Monica, do you want to call me Mr. Huo all the time?"
