Every Breath You Take

After seeing Monica's jade pendant, Mary firmly believed that her mother must be related to Monica. Quarmy had the same idea as her, so he started to investigate Hannah.

Quarmy spent a lot of effort to find out Hannah's background. Her mother remarried, so she and Xanjer were raised by their relatives. Later, they were adopted by a kind-hearted person and lived in the Cat's Alley. Quarmy and Mary went to the cat's alley to investigate.

Hannah and Xanjer were adopted by the Andrew's servant. Although they lived in the Cat's Alley, they did not have much contact with the people around them.

People only remembered that Hannah was admitted to the university and married an official. Later, she took her brother and her adopted father away. As for where she went, there were different opinions. Some said that she bought a house in Jiang City, and some said that she went to another city.

Quarmy guessed that Hannah didn't take her brother and adopted father away at that time, but settled them in the tube-shaped apartment. That was why Xanjer had stayed there before.

However, there was a clue that Hannah once lived in the Cat's Alley for a period of time more than 20 years ago. It was in winter. She wore thick clothes and looked plump. Her only friend was Flower. Flower was Yale's nickname. The person who provided clues regarded Eva as Hannah, because they looked like each other.

At that time, Hannah had already married Zoe, hadn't she? Why did she return to the Cat's Alley? Was she pregnant so she looked plump? Quarmy felt it incredible. 20 years ago, Monica was several years old. Why did Hannah leave her family and live in the Cat's Alley for such a long time?

The most important thing was that at that time, Yale was pregnant with Madrigal, and Mary was about the same age as Madrigal. Was Hannah going back to the Cat's Alley to give birth?

However, Hannah and Yale had a very good relationship. Since they were pregnant at the same time, how could she not know about Yale's child?

Yale's child was Zoe's, which was why Hannah had an accident later. In this case, how could Hannah have such a good relationship with Yale? There was something strange in this matter. Was it not Hannah who returned to the Cat's Alley? But who would that person be?

Quarmy and Mary's investigation in the Cat's Alley made no substantial progress, but Noah had found out something important. Hannah's mother had a daughter named Kate after marrying Andrew. Later, Andrew and Hannah's mother both passed away, and Kate and her brother Francisco were missing.

Noah put the photo of Eva and Francisco in front of Quarmy. "Why does Francisco look exactly like Xanjer? And Kate. Don't you think she looks like Dr. Xi?" Quarmy was shocked when he saw the photo. Although the photo was old, he could see the people on it clearly. Francisco looked exactly the same as Xanjer, while Kate looked very similar to Eva.

"What the hell is going on?" Quarmy couldn't figure it out. He couldn't understand the connection between Xanjer and Francisco, but he had a wild guess. The person who lived in the Cat's Alley and made friends with Yale was not Hannah, but Kate. If he was right, Kate might be Mary's mother.

While Quarmy and Noah were discussing, Zewail came in. When he saw the photo in front of Quarmy, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Isn't this Dave? Did you find him?"

Quarmy was stunned. "What did you say?" Naturally, he had heard of Dave. That was also why he was so shocked.

Zewail picked up the photo. Then, he said with confidence, "This is the genius designer Dave! When I went to France to study, I met him once."

"Isn't Dave French?"

"I thought he was French, but he is actually Chinese. His identity has always been kept a secret. It's rare to see his photos in the media. I only saw him once at a party. He only stayed there for a few minutes. Everyone was very polite to him. Later, I heard from others that he was Dave."

"Do you know his Chinese name?"

"No." Zewail shook his head.

After Zewail left, Quarmy said to Noah, "When you were investigating Francisco, did you find out that he used to study in France?"

Noah nodded. "Yes. I haven't had time to report yet."

Quarmy rubbed his eyebrows. This was too strange. Xanjer was Francisco? Then where was the real Xanjer? Was Francisco Dave? Flow could that be? Xanjer had always been obedient and honest in Quarmy's impression. Flow could he have anything to do with that genius designer?

Quarmy thought for a moment and asked Noah to bring him a French interpreter. Fie asked the French interpreter to call Xanjer in French. The call was soon connected. The interpreter asked Xanjer in French, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Liu?"

Xanjer answered in French, "No, you have the wrong number!"

The interpreter hung up the phone after saying sorry in French. Quarmy and Noah clearly heard Xanjer's answer. Quarmy waved his hand and signaled for the interpreter to go out.

Xanjer dropped out of junior high school and stayed at home. Therefore, the present Xanjer was a fake. Why did Francisco pretend to be Xanjer?

Did Monica know about this?

Quarmy thought for a while and called Mary to come in. Now he was sure that Xanjer was Francisco. But he was not sure if Eva and Kate were the same person. In this case, it was better to let Mary make an appointment with Eva and ask her about the jade pendant personally.

Monica had an appointment with Summer for lunch. In the restaurant, they actually met Mary. Seeing Monica, Mary took the initiative to greet her. Monica was also very polite to her. After that, Mary entered a private room.

When Mary opened the door, Monica took a look inside and saw Eva, who used to be her doctor.

Why would Eva meet Mary? Was Mary sterile?

Mary closed the door and sat opposite Eva. Eva's face was very gloomy. "Miss, what can I do for you?"

Mary looked at Eva and bit her lip. The woman in front of her looked somewhat similar to herself. Mary hoped that Eva was her mother.

When Eva saw Mary, she felt disgusted. Jenny had said that she wanted Mary to have children for Quarmy, and Mary had a very close relationship with Quarmy, which made Eva subconsciously hate Mary. That was why Eva was so impolite.

"I..." Mary took out a jade pendant from her pocket and put it on the table. "Do you know this jade pendant?"

Eva's face changed. She picked it up and looked at it carefully. "Why do you have this?"

"Is it yours?" Mary looked at Eva eagerly.

"Yes! This is a jade pendant left by my mother. I accidentally lost it. Where did you find it?"

"It was given to my adoptive parents by the dean of the orphanage. She said that this jade pendant was given to her by someone who sent me to the orphanage. It was my mother's. As long as I could find the owner of this jade pendant, I could find my mother... I have been looking for you for so many years... Mom! I finally found you!" Mary's eyes were full of tears.

Eva looked at Mary in surprise, and a familiar scene came into her mind. In the middle of the night in the cold winter, a woman in a thick jacket handed a newborn baby to a man. "Take this b*stard away immediately! Get her as far away from here as you can!"

The man took the baby and disappeared in the cold night. Her jade pendant disappeared after that night. She always thought that she had accidentally lost it, but it was actually taken away by that man. Eva was furious. "Damn man! How could he do this to me?! He made such a big mess. What should I do now?"

Mary was still crying, while Eva began to analyze the pros and cons. The person in front of her was a trouble. Should she pretend to be her mother?

If she denied, Mary would definitely go on investigating. You can't wrap fire in paper. What if Mary found out the truth?

However, she was unwilling to be Mary's mother. Looking at Mary's beautiful face, Eva remembered her unclear relationship with Quarmy. Since this little b*stard had come to find her, she must have done a thorough investigation. Eva gritted her teeth and decided to not deny it. Perhaps Mary might be able to help her in the future.

As soon as she thought of this, her face was immediately filled with sorrow, and tears rolled down her beautiful big eyes. "My poor child! It was my fault that I sent you to the orphanage, but I had no choice!" She held Mary in her arms. "As an unmarried woman, I was unable to support you. Therefore, I sent you to the orphanage. I went back to look for you but they told me that you were adopted!"

Eva didn't lie about this. After hearing that the child was sent to the orphanage, she secretly went to the orphanage. Later, when she heard that the child had been adopted, she suddenly felt relieved and never thought about this matter again.

"My adoptive parents died. They told me the truth before they passed away. They asked me to find my biological mother with this jade pendant... I... I didn't expect to find you!" Mary was really happy. Although Eva sent her to the orphanage, she always believed that Eva had her own reason. She was really happy to find her biological mother.

Eva thought different from her. This Mary was destined to be a trouble. She had to think of a way to get rid of her. Both of them burst into tears.

When Monica was having lunch with Summer, she received a call from Quarmy. He asked where she was and what she ate. Monica was so annoyed by his nagging.

It was said that women became stupid when they were in love. This also worked on men. Quarmy was in such a situation now. He was worried about his relationship with Monica everyday.

He always felt that there was a reason for Monica to suddenly change her attitude towards him, but he didn't know what the reason was. To tell the truth, he was very afraid that his happiness was just an illusion. He was very afraid that one day when he pushed open the door, he found that Monica had disappeared.

He had to remind Monica to miss him before he went out in the morning. He did not forget to call Monica to ask where she was while he was at work. When he returned home in the evening, he would ask, "Moni, do you miss me?"

Monica felt that Quarmy was very strange. After hanging up the phone, she sighed. "Is he acting? Does he have to be so sentimental?"

Summer smiled. "Don't ask me this because I don't have any love experience. But I think he's acting. Why didn't he miss you when you were absent? How can he suddenly be so affectionate? It's strange..." Monica nodded. "I think so. But why does he act? Is it necessary?"

"I haven't finished my words yet. I mean, he's either acting or he really loves you. That's a question only you can answer. After all, I'm an outsider."

Monica stared at her. "How can I have time to care about it? I have to hurry up and get pregnant in about a week or so."

"In fact, sometimes I think Quarmy is a good guy, but he has a disgusting mother."

"Don't mention it. A burnt child dreads the fire. When I think of what she did to me, I feel flustered. Why was I so stupid at that time?" Thinking of what she suffered, Monica felt incredible.

"That's because you loved him. Women become stupid when they are in love. You loved him so you were willing to do anything for him. Naturally, you could also endure those torture for him." Summer sighed. "Moni, do you really no longer love Quarmy?"

"I don't have time to think about it!" Monica answered.

"You have to think about this!" Summer reminded her. "Moni, Coco is his son. If you are pregnant, you'll have another child with him. Do you want the two children to have no fatherly love?"

"As long as Coco recovers, I will consider finding a father for them."

"The love of a biological father is completely different from the love of a stepfather. Moni, if Quarmy is sincere to you, you can start over with him. For the sake of your children, you should give Quarmy a chance. Of course, the premise is that Quarmy really loves you."

Monica was silent. What Summer said was right. The love of a biological father was completely different from the love of a stepfather. Thinking of Coco's eagerness for father's love, her heart was a little heavy. She hated Quarmy, but after he told her the truth, she suddenly found that it was not completely his fault. The way she dealt with things at that time was too extreme.

When Monica knew that Madrigal was pregnant with Quarmy's child, her heart was completely occupied by anger and hatred. Madrigal's mother seduced her father, and then Madrigal came to seduce her man Monica could not accept it at all. The pain of being unable to be pregnant for a long time and the pain of being betrayed took her heart, so she became crazy and irrational. When Quarmy left with Madrigal in his arms, Monica was completely desperate. Therefore, she didn't hesitate to sign the divorce agreement with Quarmy.

Generally, couples would quarrel when they got divorced, but she did not give Quarmy a chance to explain. It was just hatred that supported her to leave Quarmy. Over the years, Quarmy's betrayal had been torturing her. But now she found that she might have misunderstood Quarmy. If that was the case, there was no need for her to hate him at all.

Summer was right. Monica really should think about whether she wanted to be with Quarmy again.

After receiving a call from the TV station, Summer left. Monica sat in the private room for a while before she got up and left. When she passed by Mary's private room, she heard crying coming from inside. She subconsciously stopped. If she didn't hear wrongly, both Eva and Mary were crying. What had happened?

Monica didn't want to eavesdrop, but the cry inside made her feel strange. She paused and unexpectedly heard Mary calling Eva mom. Monica was so shocked that she left the restaurant in a hurry.

On the way back, Monica kept wondering. Eva used to be her doctor so she knew that Eva had been single. It was really surprising that Eva actually had a daughter.

Thinking of the relationship between Eva and Jim, Monica was shocked. Was Mary the daughter of Jim and Eva? If so, was Mary Roland's half-sister? Should she tell Roland about this?
