Every Breath You Take

Monica left the cafe. Her mind was in a mess along the way. Sometimes it was Mary's question, and sometimes it was Quarmy's look of defending Mary.

Although she didn't want to be sad, seeing Quarmy defending Mary, she still felt upset. Seeing that she came back with a bad look, Summer put down the mobile phone in her hand. "What happened?" Monica told her about Mary's question. Summer gnashed her teeth in anger. "If I were there, I would have kicked her ass!"

"Forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. To be angry with someone who doesn't matter is to punish yourself. What do you want for lunch? I'll make it for you."

"Just go out and buy something, you don't have to cook." Replied Summer.

"No, you are a patient now. You'd better eat something healthier." Summer knew her temper, so she casually ordered several dishes.

Monica called Xanjer and told him to buy vegetables first, and she would go home to cook immediately.

Xanjer went to buy vegetables with Coco. On the way back, a car rushed over. Xanjer hurriedly avoided it. However, he still hit another car parked on the side of the road.

Xanjer and Coco both fell to the ground, and the car on the road also gave out a harsh alarm. Coco cried out in pain. Xanjer ignored the pain on his body and hurried to help Coco." Coco, are you hurt?" "My butt hurts, and my head hurts too." Coco replied.

A man strode over, ignoring Xanjer and crying Coco. "Did you hit this car?"

Xanjer's heart sank when he saw the logo on the car. The price of this car was at least ten million yuan. What should he do? He said carefully, "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it. I hit your car because I was pushed here by another car..."

The man said with a gloomy face, "Who saw it? You are really ridiculous. How can you lie? Even if you were forced to do it, you have to take responsibility."

"But... Sir..." Xanjer knew very well how expensive the car's repair price was. How could he afford it? Coco was still crying. Xanjer was trying to coax him. What could he do?

When Monica came back, she saw Xanjer standing on the side of the road with Coco in his arms. Coco cried really loudly. She came over immediately." Coco, don't cry. Mommy's here." Seeing Monica, Coco's crying became much softer. He threw himself into her arms and touched his little ass with his hand. "Mom, I fell down with Great-uncle just now. My ass hurts." "Baby, don't cry. Mom's here!" Monica coaxed Coco softly. Coco stopped crying. Monica looked at Xanjer and said, "Uncle, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Xanjer replied. The man on the side was impatient. He said fiercely, "How do you want to deal with it?"

Monica turned to look at the man. "What happened?"

"Who are you to him?" The man sized Monica up.

"He is my uncle." Monica answered.

"He just hit my car. Look, what are you going to do?"

"Moni." Xanjer looked ashamed. He was very clear about the value of this car. There was no domestic service on this car. Moreover, they couldn't afford to repair it.

"Don't worry, Uncle. Let me think about it." Although Monica married Quarmy before and had been rich for a few years, she didn't understand cars. So she pointed at the car and asked, "How much does it cost to repair it?"

"Repair it?" The man seemed to have heard something funny. "Miss, there is no domestic service on this car. It can only be repaired at the foreign headquarters."

"Then what should we do?" This made Monica realize how serious the matter was. She could finally understand how expensive the car was.

"Pay me back!" The man sneered.

"But we don't have money." Monica bit her lip.

"That's all?" The man sneered, "I'm telling you, this is not that simple. According to the law, if you can't afford the cost of the transportation accident, you'll be held criminally responsible. Your house will be mortgaged. If it's not enough, you will go to jail." Monica's face changed, and Xanjer felt sad silently. In the past, he often drove such a car to high-end places, but he didn't expect that one day he would be down to such a state.

"Moni, it's all my fault. Anyway, we don't have money. Let me go to jail."

"Let me think about it!" Monica rubbed her forehead and started thinking. Even if she sold the house, she would only have hundreds of thousands of yuan and they would be homeless. What's worse, the money might not be enough for the repair fee. She was in a hurry, but the owner of the car began to be impatient. "If you can't think of a way, let me call the police!"

The man took out the phone and began to call the police. Monica and Xanjer stared at each other. When Coco heard that, he was scared and cried again. "Mom, I don't want to go to the police station." "Don't be afraid!" Although Monica said that, she was also very scared. She had never had to go to the police station in her life. What should she do?

At this moment, a car stopped beside them. Roland opened the door and walked down. "What's going on?"

"Uncle Wang, this person wants to call the police to arrest us. I'm scared." Coco saw Roland as if he had seen a savior.

"Don't be afraid! Uncle Wang is here!" Roland took Coco from Monica's hands and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. He looked at Monica and asked, "What happened?" Monica told him about the car accident. Roland looked at the luxury car and frowned. Then he looked at the man coldly and asked, "What's your relationship with William Lee?"

"Who is William Lee? I don't know him." The man answered impatiently.

Roland stared at the man for a while and asked, "Is this your car?"

The man didn't put Roland in his eyes at all. When he came here, he knew that the people in front of him were poor, so he answered with arrogance, "If it's not mine, it's yours?"

"What an arrogant fellow! I'll make you regret it!" After saying this, Roland took out the phone and called someone. He was talking in French, and Monica couldn't understand him at all. However, Xanjer, who was standing aside, had been listening carefully. When Roland hung up the phone, Xanjer also looked relieved.

Roland hung up the phone and immediately made another call. "Mark, come over immediately. I have something to deal with here." After telling Mark his location, he hung up the phone and looked at the man up and down. "You're bold!"

The man was aggressive at first, but he was a little scared by Roland's stare. He felt something was wrong and started to panic. But when he thought about what the person who sent him here said, he became bold again. "What do you want to do with this matter?"

"Wait and see, someone is bringing money here." Roland answered. After a while, a police car came over. Several policemen got out of the car. One of them saw Roland and quickly came over. "Mr. Wang." "I suspect that this guy is a car thief. You can take him back for interrogation." Roland said carelessly.

The man was arrogant at first, but when he heard Roland's words, his face suddenly turned pale. A policeman came forward and said, "Please come with us."

They went to the nearest police station. The police started to interrogate the man.

"I didn't steal the car. This car was borrowed by me." The man explained.

"From whom?" Roland sneered.

The man was speechless for a moment. Roland sneered and said, "This is my friend's car. He is in France now. I just called him. He said he didn't lend the car to anyone. So where did you borrow it from?" "I..." The man was dumbfounded. He had never dreamed that it would be like this. "Hurry up and interrogate him. He stole a luxury car worth tens of millions of yuan and made the car like this. Let him go to the prison."

"I didn't steal the car. This car was lent to me by my relative. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." The man softened.

According to the clues provided by him, the police notified his relative. His relative rushed to the police station and saw Roland. He took the initiative to greet him. "Mr. Wang, why are you here?" Roland sneered. So his relative was his friend's butler. "Did you lend him this car or did he steal it?" The butler looked upset. "He's my nephew. He came to Jiang City a few days ago. When he saw the car, he wanted to enjoy it. I didn't lend him the car. It was he who drove the car out while I was asleep. Mr. Wang, please forgive me this time."

"He drove the car out without permission. Isn't he just a car theft? Did you all hear it clearly?" Roland asked the police with a sneer.

The police nodded and said, "Yes!"

"I have no right to forgive you, but William has. As for this car thief, the police will deal with him." Roland sneered. Ignoring the butler's request, he took Monica and the others out of the police station.

On the way, Monica breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, you're here. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what to do today."

"Remember to call me when you find yourself in trouble!" Roland stared at Monica. "You can't deal with it, why don't you call me?"

Monica smiled embarrassedly. "I was afraid that you were busy."

"Your business is the most important thing for me. I'll take time to deal with it even if I'm busy." Roland looked meaningfully at Monica. Monica's face turned hot and she quickly changed the topic. "The butler will be fired, won't he? He doesn't know anything about it. It's pitiful for him to get fired for this matter!"

"Stupid woman!" Roland glared at her. "How can you be so stupid? Have you forgotten how that man forced you just now?"

"But it has nothing to do with the butler. I just think he is too innocent."

"Innocent? Only a fool like you would think so." Roland laughed coldly. "I tell you, he is not innocent at all. My friend is French. He's usually out of the country. His houses and cars in Jiang City have always been taken care of by his butler. The butler didn't treat himself as an outsider. He actually made a lot of money by renting several luxury cars of my friend. Recently, he went overboard and even used the luxury cars to do other business."

"What business?" Monica was confused.

"He used luxury cars to blackmail!" Roland answered, "They specifically pick rich people to do it. They've done it several time in the past few months."

"How did you know?" Monica was confused.

"Because Queen has shares in these cars' accessory factory. It's just that they'd been blackmailing the rich all the time. Why would they come to you this time?" Roland was puzzled.

"It's probably a coincidence!" Xanjer replied. "I guess they were looking for rich people. Coincidentally, I appeared."

That was the only plausible explanation. Roland nodded and looked at Monica with a smile. "I did you a favor today. Why don't you buy me dinner?"

When he mentioned it, Monica remembered that Summer was still waiting for her. "Crap, I have to send the food to Summer as soon as possible!" Jenny had thought about how to deal with Monica for a long time. She hadn't considered Eva's suggestion. She was also a mother so she didn't want hurt a child. Then, Eva gave her another idea.

Quarmy said that Monica got married because of her poor life after divorce, which showed that her situation must be very bad. Eva suggested Jenny to blackmail Monica by a luxury car. It would cost a lot to repair a luxury car, Monica certainly couldn't afford it.

When Monica was in a desperate situation, Jenny could help her solve it and ask her to leave. It would definitely work. Eva was Jenny's classmate and she had a good relationship with Jenny. When Jenny was suffering from his father's infidelity, Eva had been accompanying her.

Because of it, Jenny had always trusted her.

After Eva came up with the idea of blackmailing Monica, Jenny agreed and asked her to arrange it.

Although Eva was only a doctor, she knew all kinds of people in society. She soon found a man and told Jenny that the price was a bit high. Jenny didn't care about money but she had been hesitating, "Is it really okay to do this?"

Because of her hesitation, the matter had been delayed. However, when she saw her son in the hospital, she was very angry. She immediately called Eva and asked her to arrange this matter immediately.

Eva agreed and said that she would do it immediately. She also asked Jenny to pay a deposit first. Jenny was very angry and paid the deposit. After paying the deposit, Jenny waited for the good news to come. However, she did not expect that Roland would come out and mess things up. The matter did not succeed because of Roland and the blackmailer was sent to prison. Fortunately, Evan and Jenny were safe.

Jenny finally let out a sigh of relief. However, she still felt upset. Eva advised her not to be softhearted anymore. If she continued to do this, the consequences would be unimaginable. They had to use Monica's child to deal with Monica.

Jenny hesitated for a long time, but she couldn't think of any other way, so she agreed.

Coco was much taller and his clothes were shorter. Monica took him to the mall this weekend. After buying clothes for Coco, she remembered that her uncle's clothes were very old. She went to the men's clothing department again and prepared to buy clothes for Xanjer.

She put Coco on the sofa and ordered him to sit there and rest. Then she went to pick clothes for Xanjer. When she turned around, she found Coco disappeared.

Monica was shocked. She immediately threw down the clothes and ran out. "Coco! Coco!" She shouted anxiously.

Monica still didn't see Coco. She looked around anxiously. "Did you see my son?" She stopped someone and asked anxiously.

The person shook his head, and she continued to look around.

She couldn't find Coco. Her face was full of horror, and her voice was full of crying. "Coco, where are you?"

"What happened?" One hand grabbed Monica. Monica turned around and said, "Roland... my son... my son... He... disappeared!" Monica seemed to have found a savior and tightly grasped Roland. Her body could not help trembling.

"Don't worry!" Roland hugged her trembling body and comforted her softly. "We'll find him. Don't worry! I'll help you find him!"

He took Monica's hand and ran quickly to the monitoring room of the shopping mall. "Get me the surveillance of the men's clothing department immediately!" Roland ordered.

The people in the monitoring room wanted to refuse, but under Roland's dignified gaze, they couldn't refuse.

The surveillance was immediately checked. Monica saw a man with sunglasses holding a toy to lure Coco. Coco curiously walked over. The man suddenly hugged Coco to cover his mouth and quickly left. Seeing all this, Monica's face was full of tears. "What should I do? What should I do?"

Seeing her tears, for the first time, Roland felt heartache.

"Don't worry, I'll find him! I'm here! Don't worry!" He held Monica and looked at the security guards. "Ask your head to come here immediately!"

He took out the phone, "Director Zhang, I'm Roland. My son was abducted in the mall. Please help me find him immediately!" The man on the other end of the line quickly agreed. Roland hung up the phone and made a phone call again. "Come here immediately. Coco is missing."

This phone call made to Beck.

The person in charge of the shopping mall came in a hurry. Seeing Roland, he was shocked. "Mr. Wang, what happened?"

"I lost my son. Inform the security guards and all the staff to look for him immediately! Hurry up."

Then, Roland asked the security guards to continue checking the surveillance. It showed that the man entered a dead end with Coco in his arms. After that, he never appeared again. He held Monica and said, "You wait here for a while. I'll go out and look for Coco!"

"I don't want to wait, I'm going to find my son!" Monica's legs were shaking all the time, and the fear in her heart emerged. If she could not find Coco, what should she do?

Her son! What should she do if her lovely, obedient, and sensible son disappeared?

Seeing her look, Roland sighed and said, "Fine, come with me!"

Monica stumbled out of the room with Roland's help. The security guards and staff in the shopping mall had been mobilized to look for Coco. Roland held Monica and walked to the dead end of the monitor under the guidance of a security guard.

At the dead end, they found a piece of clothing. He lifted it and saw Coco sleeping soundly. Monica reached out and held Coco tightly in her arms. The feeling of having Coco back made her cry again. Roland stretched out his hand to hold Monica and Coco in his arms. He gently comforted her. "It's fine, it's fine now!"

The shock almost made Monica lose her wits. She had been reluctant to let go of her son. Roland frowned slightly. Why did the man want to take Coco away and even made him dizzy? "Did you offend

anyone?"

"No." Monica shook her head. Who could she offend?

"How could it be so strange? If he's a child's traffickers, there's no reason for him to throw Coco here." Roland still couldn't understand. Looking at Monica's slightly trembling body, he said, "I'll send you back

first."

Monica did not say anything and obediently left with the Roland. Roland reached out to take Coco from her hand, but she refused. Roland sighed. This woman was really freaked out. Thinking of her helpless and pitiful look just now, his heart hurt a little.

He didn't insist. He reached out to help Monica out of the mall and got into the car. Monica hugged Coco who was still sleeping. Thinking of the terrible scene just now, she couldn't help feeling fearful.

She couldn't imagine what she would do if she couldn't find her son. She wouldn't be able to live without Coco!

Looking at Monica's pale face, Roland reached out and helped her to fasten the seat belt. "I'll take you to the hospital!"

Listening to his magnetic voice, Monica couldn't help hugging him. "Roland..."

If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't know what to do. Roland held her tightly, "Moni, don't be afraid, it's all over!"

Monica didn't say anything, but she began to feel calm. When she was in a panic, it was Roland who warmed her and gave her hope.

Roland drove Coco to the hospital. The doctor said Coco was fine, but Roland insisted on letting Coco stay in the hospital.

Coco had been sleeping. After waiting for a long time, he didn't wake up. Roland went to see the doctor again in a hurry. Monica sat quietly at the side and looked at her son. She could not help but lower her head and kiss Coco.

Her phone rang. She picked it up and a familiar voice sounded. "Monica, remember this lesson. You won't be so lucky next time!"

"It's you! You vicious old witch!" Monica gnashed her teeth and shouted. It turned out to be Jenny. She had never thought that it would be Jenny. "Drop dead! You will be punished!"

For the first time, Monica swore someone angrily. Hearing her hoarse cursing, Jenny took the microphone away from a little. "Monica, this is just the beginning. If you still pester Quarmy, I will have more ruthless tactics to deal with you. At that time, your son will not only disappear for a while but forever."

"How dare you! I'll kill you!"

"Monica, think about it. You are also a mother. You love your son, don't I love my son? I don't want my son to have any relationship with you. Today is just a small lesson, understand?"

"I'm going to sue you, you vicious woman!"

"Do you have any evidence?" Jenny sneered. "Monica, you don't have the strength to fight with me."

"I don't believe you can control the whole world with your own hands!"

"I can't, but I can cover the sky on your head." Jenny sneered. "Of course, if you don't care about your son's safety, you can go against me!"

"Jenny, sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. You'll get your retribution."

"I'm not afraid of retribution. It's worthwhile to do anything for my son's happiness!" Jenny didn't care. "Remember my words and don't pester Quarmy again! Otherwise..."

Jenny hung up the phone. Monica sat by the bed with her mobile phone in her hand. Jenny was not only threatening her but also telling the truth. Jenny could deal with her easily. She was not alone. She had a son, so she couldn't go against Jenny.

The door was pushed open. Roland appeared at the door. Seeing Monica's pale face, he thought she was worried about Coco. "Moni! I went to ask the doctor. He said that the drug of knockout powder was

very strong. He will wake up after a while. Don't worry."

Monica forced a smile at him. "Thank you!"

Roland walked to Monica and sat down. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, he thought of her helpless look and trembling body just now. His heart beat faster. He had never seen Monica like this before. She had always been strong-minded. He reached out to hold her hand and sincerely asked, "Moni, let me take care of you and Coco, okay?"

Monica looked at Roland in a daze. When she was most helpless and hesitant, he gave her comfort and strength. She, who had been helpless for so many years, really felt relaxed in his arms.

But would he be her harbor? He was handsome, rich, and talented with a good background. He was too good for her.

Such a man was so far away for her. She was really afraid he would be another Quarmy.

"I just want to give you and the child a home. Moni, try to accept me and love me, okay?"

His voice was deep and magnetic. Monica looked up at Roland in confusion. When she was almost desperate, he held her in his arms. It was his embrace that warmed her.

"Roland, are you serious? Will you always be good to me?"

He nodded. "I will! I swear!"

Tears welled up in Monica's eyes. She reached out and covered Roland's mouth. "I don't need you to swear, I don't need an oath!"

"Okay! I won't swear. Time tells!" Roland grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. Holding her soft body, he said to himself in his heart, "Monica, I used to be a playboy because I didn't find the woman worthy of my love. Now that I've found you, I won't let you go. No matter what will happen in the future, I won't let go of your hand!"

Monica, who was lying in his warm arms, also had mixed feelings. Although Roland used to have so many girlfriends, she knew that he was a kind person. "Roland, if you really like me, you must not let me down. From today on, my heart will be yours!"

Quarmy sat in the car and stared at the smooth-line car in front of him. Monica in the car smiled like a flower and was talking to Roland.

Her smile stimulated his nerves. In the past, he often saw Roland sending her home, but he had never seen such a smile.

What on earth happened? How could she be happy like this?

"Moni, your smile is really beautiful. Remember to smile more in the future!" Roland greedily stared at Monica's beautiful face. This was the original Monica. What he wanted was such a woman. She was beautiful but not naive. Thinking that he could face such a beautiful smile every day in the future, Roland was very happy.

"That depends on your performanc If I'm not happy, how can I smile?"

"I will make you happy."

The car stopped downstairs, and Xanjer came out with Coco. "Mom!" Coco threw himself into Monica's arms for a while and then rushed to Roland.

"Uncle Wang!"

"Call me Dad" Roland glared at Coco. Seeing the smile on Monica's face, Coco called out sweetly, "Dad!"

"That's my son!" Roland raised Coco over his head. Coco giggled. "A little higher! A little higher!"

Xanjer was also very happy. "Dinner is ready. Let's have dinner first!" During the meal, Xanjer mentioned the kindergarten thing. "The teachers of the kindergarten came here today. They said that Coco was a bit younger and advised him to go to kindergarten next year."

"Mom, I want to play with other children in kindergarten." Coco looked at Monica pitifully.

Hearing this, Roland looked at Monica and asked, "Is there an age limit?"

"There is an age limit for the kindergarten in the community. He has to be over three years old." Monica answered.

"Why did you choose the kindergarten in the community? Go to Bilingual kindergarten. The facilities and education there are good." Looking at Monica's embarrassed look, he understood. "I'll pay for it!"

"I... I can't use your money." Monica refused.

"Hehe, you are so silly and lovely." Roland stared at Monica. "Do we have to go Dutch after we get married? Let me tell you, from now on, everything I have belongs to you!"

Monica's face turned red all of a sudden. She couldn't help looking into the eyes of Roland. It was said that people's eyes would show their thoughts. Roland's eyes looked incomparably sincere, and she subconsciously lowered her head. However, her heart could no longer calm down.

Coco fell asleep. Roland hadn't left yet. Monica put Coco on the bed and covered him with the quilt. A big hand wrapped around her waist and a gentle lips pressed against her neck.

Monica's body suddenly became stiff. Although he had kissed her, it was when he was drunk. They had never kissed when they were sober. Monica realized that except for the kiss of that man, she didn't seem to be comfortable with any man's intimate behavior toward her.

She wanted to push Roland away, but she didn't put it into action. The man in front of her had the best family background and the most handsome appearance. He was good to her and her son, so she had no

reason to refuse him.

Because she didn't refuse, Roland slowly turned her body. His warm lips touched hers, and she was passively kissed by him...

After a while, he let go of her lips and hugged her tightly. "Moni, I don't want to leave today!" Monica's face suddenly turned red. She knocked on his head. "I'm telling you. Don't treat me like your ex-grilfriends!"

"Listen to me!" Roland grabbed her hand and stared at her with his beautiful eyes. "I don't want to leave you anymore, do you understand? Monica, let's get married!"

"Get married?"

"Yes! We can get married immediately. You move to my place so that I can sleep with you in a justified way!" He smiled softly.

"Heh!" Monica glared at him. This was not that simple. Roland's marriage would not be decided by himself alone. "Let me think about it."

She also gave him a chance to think about it.

Roland stretched out his hand on her red lips and said, "You bad woman!" She still did not believe him. He felt a little pain in his heart. How on earth could she believe him?
