Every Breath You Take

Last time, Quarmy had ruined Roland's love confession. Roland had been angry for many days, but he had always been a person who was very good at adjusting himself. He immediately cheered himself up and was ready to pursue Monica again.

Coco's appearance let Roland know that to please Monica, he not only had to be gentle but also to gain Coco's affection.

As long as Coco liked him, Monica would definitely love him. Therefore, Roland began to visit Monica's new home frequently.

Every time he went there, he would bring fun toys and snacks that Coco liked. The children were the easiest to coax, and Coco gradually started to like him.

Roland took the opportunity to ask Coco to be his son. Coco was a little hesitant. "What if you become my dad, what about Uncle Gu? I prefer Uncle Gu to be my dad."

Hearing this, Roland felt that he had been greatly hurt. "You're so ungrateful. How can you still think of Leon when I'm pleasing you like this?" Of course, he dared not say this out loud, so he said carefully, "Your mom doesn't Uncle Gu, she likes me. Do you understand?"

"Mom really likes you?" Coco asked in disbelief.

"Of course. I'm more handsome and smart than Uncle Gu. She will definitely like me!" "You're not as handsome as Uncle Gu." Coco shook his head. In his heart, Leon was the most handsome man. "But if Mom likes you, I will acknowledge you as my father."

Roland was originally unhappy when he heard that he was not as handsome as Leon, but Coco's next sentence made him happy. "That's my boy. Dad will take you to the amusement park tomorrow." "Really?" Coco became happy after hearing that. He asked, "Will Mom go with us?"

"Yes. We're all going as a family." Roland was very proud.

On the weekend, Roland came here early in the morning. Regardless of Monica's objection, he offered to take Coco to the amusement park, Coco was really happy, but when he saw Monica's unhappiness, he immediately stopped smiling and cautiously asked, "Mom, I want to go to the amusement park. Shall we go together?"

Looking at his shining and pleading eyes, Monica's heart softened and she agreed.

Coco excitedly requested to play with the roller coaster. "Mom, Mom, I'm going to play with the roller coaster. Can you accompany me?"

Monica was afraid of heights. She shook her head and said, "Ask Uncle Wang to accompany you. I can't!"

A look of disappointment appeared on Coco's face. Roland held him in his arms and said, "Mama is scared. Let's go!"

Monica looked at his handsome face and was slightly absent-minded. If it weren't for his prominent family background, he would have been a nice guy.

At noon, Coco was clamoring to go to a buffet. The two adults naturally agreed. Roland treated Coco so well that he would do anything for him.

Roland ran into Jenny when he was picking food with Coco. Jenny was surprised to see him with the child. She thought this cute boy looked so familiar. She couldn't help but reach out and patted his head. "What a cute child!"

Roland said triumphantly, "He's my son!"

"Your son?" Jenny was very surprised. She had never heard of Roland's marriage. Why did he suddenly have a son? Thinking of Roland's private life, this child must be an illegitimate child. She didn't say much and politely went back to her seat.

After sitting down, she looked towards Roland and the child, only to see Monica. When she saw Monica, she was stunned and understood why the child looked so familiar. The child looked like Monica. Was he Monica's child? It was impossible. If Monica had been fertile, she wouldn't have forced Quarmy to divorce her.

While she was thinking, Roland and Monica sat down not far away from her with Coco. The three began to eat. Coco happily ate the food on the plate. Seeing that he was wolfing down the food, Monica gently reminded, "Slow down, don't choke!"

Seeing Monica's care for Coco, Jenny felt more and more strange. The kid looked so much like her. Was he really her child?

No way! The doctor had already said that it was impossible for Monica to get pregnant! Then she suddenly heard the child's childish voice. "Mom! I want to eat the sweet pepper squid on your plate!" "Okay!" Monica indulged Coco fed it into his mouth. Coco ate one piece and smacked his lips. "I want more!"

Monica fed him another piece. "You can't eat anymore. Eat something else!"

Coco obediently began to eat something else. Looking at Monica's motherly eyes, Jenny was shocked. It was really her child! She actually gave birth to a baby!

Back then, she had been certain that Monica would not give birth to a child, so she had tried everything to get Monica and Guarmy divorced. In order to get Ouarmy to agree to divorce, she had done a lot. In the end, she even managed to pull off that cheap trick.

Of course, she did it because Madrigal reminded her that Monica used to date Leon. Also, she was instigated by Monica's attending doctor Eva that she could frame Monica to have affairs with Leon. Eva gave her several ideas. The first was to slander Monica. Men could not stand being cheated. As long as Ouarmy saw the photos and recordings, he would definitely divorce.

Those photos and recordings were all edited. Jenny thought that her son would divorce Monica because of this, but she did not expect that her son would be willing to put up with it.

She had no choice but to accept Eva's second suggestion: Find someone to conceive for Monica. Although she liked Madrigal, she never thought of using her as a surrogate. After all, Madrigal was the daughter of the mayor. How could she do such a thing?

Eva said that it was a good thing. "Don't you want to be Madrigal's mother-in-law? As long as you persuade Quarmy to have a baby with another woman, and then send Madrigal to his bed, Monica will definitely divorce after knowing this."

So, she went to her son according to Eva's suggestion and asked Quarmy to have a baby with another woman. Her son was so stupid that he would never betray his marriage. In the end, Eva advised her to use the method of artificial insemination.

She thought that her son would be estranged from Monica after Madrigal got pregnant, but he didn't.

One of the most important reasons for persuading Madrigal to do this was that she swore that she would let Quramy divorce Monica. Therefore, she had to resort to extreme measures. She took Madrigal to find Monica. When they arrived, Eva called her, so Madrigal went into the house first. When she finished the call and went into the house, Madrigal was already lying in a pool of blood.

Madrigal's child was not saved in the end. She was mad. She forced her son to divorce, but he refused. Finally, she had no choice but to threaten him with her life.

Recalling the past, Jenny would no longer be able to eat. She walked to Monica while Roland and Coco were in the bathroom. "Is that child yours?" Monica looked up at Jenny and replied coldly, "Yes!" "Did you give birth to him?"

"Yes!" Monica was extremely concise.

"How is it possible?" Jenny couldn't imagine it. She summoned up the courage to ask Monica because she wanted to know if this child was adopted. Didn't someone say that adopted children would also look like their foster parents?

"Why is it impossible?" Monica sneered. "Are you hoping that I can't have a baby for the rest of my life, Mrs. Huo? Or you feel uneasy after knowing that I'm actually fertile?"

Monica's sarcasm made Jenny blush. She used to curse Monica in such a sarcastic manner. She didn't expect that Monica would return this to her. She had nothing to say so she left the restaurant.

In the elevator, Jenny was really upset. How could Monica give birth to a child? Monica's irony was not the most important thing. She was most worried about her son now. If Quarmy knew that Monica had a child, this matter would be troublesome.

She had to ask Eva what was going on. Jenny drove to the maternal and child health hospital.

Jenny went directly to the medical clinic of obstetrics and gynecology. Many people were waiting at the door of Eva's office. Jenny pushed the door open and went straight in.

Eva, who was with a patient, stood up with a smile. "Why do you have time to come today?"

"I want to talk to you!" Jenny didn't look happy.

Eva immediately told the patient to go out first. After the patient went out, Eva closed the door. Jenny sat down with a sullen face. "I want to ask you one thing, is Monica really sterile?"

Luckily, Yale had already informed Eva, or she would have been caught unprepared by Jenny's sudden visit. She pulled Jenny to sit down. "What happened?"

"Monica has a child. Didn't you say that she could not give birth to a child?" Jenny asked.

"She has a child?" Eva looked surprised. "How is that possible? How can she have a baby if she can't ovulate?"

"How would I know? It was you who said that she couldn't ovulate." Jenny stared at Eva. "I believe in your medical skills, so I forced her to divorce Quarmy."

"It's so unexpected! It's really unexpected! I've seen so many sterile women, but I've never seen such a situation. I was just telling the truth. You know women can't have babies if they can't ovulate. After taking so many medicine and examination, she still couldn't ovulate, and you wanted a grandchild so badly, so..."

"But why can she ovulate now?"

"I'm not sure about that. There are many reasons for female infertility. Apart from her own problem, the outside environment can also be a reason. For example, stress can lead to infertility. I once treated a white-collar worker. Her working pressure was really high, which caused her to be sterile for ten years after marriage. Later, she quit her job and got pregnant one year after that. Another patient was infertile because her mother-in-law put too much pressure on her. Later, she moved out with her husband, and then she got pregnant." Eva said with confidence.

"So, Monica was infertile because I put too much pressure on her?" Jenny was very angry when she heard this.

"That's not what I meant. Didn't Monica take so much medicine at that time? Perhaps the medicine she took had some effect. After all, she didn't come to my place for examination later, so I don't know her specific situation." Eva replied.

Since Monica and Quarmy moved out, she hadn't come to the hospital for an examination. Eva really didn't know about her situation. If she had come to the hospital, Eva would definitely have made her unable to ovulate.

"But you didn't say that at that time. You said that she couldn't be cured. I have been friends with you for so many years, and I also believe in your medical skills. You said that so I began to think of another way." Jenny glared at Eva. If Eva hadn't said that absolutely, she wouldn't have despaired and naturally wouldn't have treated Monica that way.

"My Mrs. Huo, why are you so angry? Monica doesn't deserve Quarmy. She used to annoy you for being unfilial. Isn't it good for them to divorce? Look at your future daughter-in-law. She looks beautiful and has a good background. The most important thing is that she's filial to you. Isn't she better than Monica? Why are you still angry?" Eva said with a smile.

"That's true, but you don't know how distant Quarmy and I are because of that woman. I only have one son, how can I bear to make him sad?"

"We have been friends for so many years. I did everything for you. If it weren't for our good relationship, how could I have said these words to you?" Eva looked aggrieved.

Jenny thought Eva's words made sense. She had known Eva for so many years and had always had a good relationship with her. If she hadn't told Eva about Monica's sterility, Eva wouldn't have taken the initiative to think of a way for her. She sighed when she thought of this. "I'm mainly worried about Quarmy. If he knows that, what will he do?"

"Just don't let him know."

"They're in the same city. It's impossible for him to not know this." Jenny sighed.

"Then you should let him get engaged to Madrigal as soon as possible. Quarmy is a man of love. As long as you let him get engaged, he won't think about Monica anymore."

"This is the only way."

After Jenny left, Eva immediately called Yale. "Jenny also knows about that matter. You have to find a way as soon as possible."

"So fast!" Yale was shocked. "What did she say?"

"She came to question me, but I've already fixed it. She's just worried about the consequences of her son knows about it. You have to think of a way to let them get engaged as soon as possible."

"I know, I'm working on this." Yale hung up the phone and ordered Madrigal, "Go visit Jenny with some imported fruit she likes and observe her attitude."

Jenny came home and unexpectedly found that Madrigal was chatting with the servant in her own home. Seeing Jenny, Madrigal stood up from the sofa and said, "I've been busy these days and have no time to visit you. Today I'm free so I came here without telling you. Aunt Sun, you won't blame me for being rude, will you?"

"Madrigal has bought a lot of your favorite fruits." The servant showed the fruits that Madrigal bought to Jenny in a fawning manner.

Jenny's mood was much better because of Madrigal's arrival. She sat down and said, "There's no need for you to be so polite." Then she ordered the servant, "Go buy some food that Madrigal likes." The servant agreed and Madrigal stood up thoughtfully. "Let me wash the fruit for you."

"No need." Jenny stopped Madrigal and sighed slightly. Madrigal took the opportunity to ask, "You don't look well. Is there something bothering you?"

Jenny nodded and said, "Yes, I met Monica in the restaurant today."

"She said terrible things to you?"

"No. Madrigal, Monica has a child."

"Ah!" Madrigal looked surprised. "Monica has a child? Is that true?"

"I asked her. It's true, and the child looks like her." Jenny thought of Monica's ridicule towards her and felt a little depressed. Monica had a beautiful son, while her son was still single. When could she have a grandson? Thinking about it, she felt really upset. "Does Quarmy know that?"

"I don't think he knows that now. You know Quarmy well. He loves Monica so much. If he knows that she could have a child, he would definitely quarrel with me!" Then she thought of the future daughter-in- law sitting in front of her and comforted her. "Don't worry. So what if he knows that? Since Monica has a child, she must have been married, and it won't affect you."

Jenny didn't feel confident when she said the last sentence.

Madrigal was silent. She was not worried about Monica, but about whether the child was Quarmy's. Jenny hadn't thought about it yet, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't think about it all the time. Sooner or later, she would suspect it.

Jenny loved children so much, and Monica's child was a boy. If that child was really Quarmy's, Jenny would definitely be happy. At that time, for that child's sake, Jenny would naturally not help her. Without Jenny's support, it was impossible for her to be with Quarmy.

Seeing that Madrigal was silent, Jenny knew that she must be worried. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Quarmy. It won't affect your engagement."

Jenny's words of comfort had no effect on Madrigal. Madrigal could only calm Jenny first and let her feel guilty for herself so that she would have no time to think about the child's identity. She sighed deeply. "If I knew that she could have a child,

I wouldn't have been a surrogate. If I hadn't done that, she wouldn't have divorced Quarmy. It's all my fault."

Jenny was very satisfied with Madrigal's kindness. She wanted a daughter-in-law who was obedient, filial, and sensible. "This has nothing to do with you. Don't worry about it. I'm telling you this is just because we are going to be a family soon. You should know what you should know. Quarmy doesn't know that Monica has a child. Even if he knows, what can he do? I will never let such an arrogant woman be with him again!"

Madrigal said with a grateful look, "Aunt Sun, you're the best! I will be filial to you!"

The servant came back from shopping, Jenny stopped the topic and picked up the phone. "I'll call Quarmy to come back for dinner."

The call was quickly put through. Quarmy's voice rang out faintly. "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Silly child, can't I call you if there's nothing?" Jenny asked in a reproachful tone.

"I'm busy!" Quarmy replied.

"No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. I asked the servant to buy the food you like. Come back for dinner. By the way, Madrigal is also here." When Jenny mentioned Madrigal, Quarmy frowned. "Mom, I'm really busy today. I still have a lot of things to deal with!"

Jenny was unhappy. "You haven't been home for dinner in a long time. Make an exception today and continue to work tomorrow."

"No, I have to finish it today. What's more, it's urgent!" Quarmy did not compromise at all. "That's it. I have to go!" Quarmy hung up the phone without hesitation. Jenny's face darkened. Madrigal comforted her obediently, "Quarmy must be very busy at work. Don't be angry. Let me have dinner with you!"

Madrigal's obedience made Jenny angrier and angrier with her son. "I don't believe that he will be too busy to even have time for dinner. Madrigal, you just wait at home. I must go to the company to take him back!"

Jenny went out angrily and went to the company. When she arrived at the company, she found that Quarmy was not here. She immediately called him, but he directly hung up the phone. She called again, but he shut down the phone.

Jenny was really angry. She couldn't find her son and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she had to go home. When she got home, the aunt had already prepared the meal. Hearing the sound of the car, Madrigal came to open the door with a smile. Seeing Jenny come in alone with a sullen face, she was extremely disappointed.

Jenny and Madrigal ate unhappily during this meal. Both of them felt uncomfortable. Jenny was angry with her son's disobedience, while Madrigal was worried about her situation. Quarmy used to listen to Jenny. Now Jenny failed to bring him back, she knew very well that something had happened.

What was going on? Did Quarmy already know that Monica had a child? Quarmy had always been paying close attention to Monica, so he should have known about her child. However, why was he so calm? There was only one explanation. The child wasn't Quarmy's. Madrigal's heart was in a mess, so she didn't want to stay in the Huo Family. After dinner, she sat with Jenny for a while before saying goodbye. Jenny didn't have the mood to ask her to stay and asked the servant to send Madrigal out.

The servant sent Madrigal to the door and took the initiative to say, "Don't worry, I'll inform you if something happens."

Madrigal nodded. "Thank you very much!"
