Every Breath You Take

Chapter 114

Hanging up the phone, Coco shook Leon's hand. "Uncle Gu, I didn't tell Mom about the surprise. You

have to reward me!"

Coco looked at him with his beautiful eyes, which were like the brightest stars in the sky. Leon smiled,

picked up Coco and kissed him, and then circled around the room.

Coco giggled. Childlike laughter filled the room. He was finally going to have a father! He was very

happy as soon as he heard that. He wanted Leon to be his father. Now it was really going to happen.

Leon was tired, so he put Coco down. Coco snuggled in his arms. "Uncle Gu, you won't change your

mind, will you?"

Leon reached out to rub his hair and said dotingly, "Don't worry. I won't lie to you."

"Yes! Uncle Gu, you're the best!" Coco smiled happily.

In XS Garden.

Monica took a taxi back here and started packing.

She had expected this today would come. She didn't bring too many things, so she was done in less

than ten minutes.

Looking at the packed suitcase, her heart was full of joy and faint loss. She looked around the house

again and recalled what Quarmy said to her here. She couldn't help but be stunned. If he hadn't lied to

her last night, or he had come back instead of missing her phone call...

Maybe she would really be with him, and then tell him that Coco was his son...

"How could it be..." She shook her head and patted her face. "Monica, wake up. Don't be fooled by him

again, or you will regret it."

She was reminding herself not to make the same mistake again. That man was not worthy of being

trusted.

Monica resolutely walked out of here. The most important thing for her now was Coco's illness.

Monica soon went to the airport. She was so lucky that she bought a ticket at the counter. Sitting in the

waiting room, she called Summer. "I'm going back to the United States."

"You're pregnant?" Summer was stunned for a moment before coming to her senses. She sighed, "Are

you going to give up on him?"

Subconsciously, Summer still hoped that Monica would stay, but her happiness...

"In fact, I haven't had any hope for him since three years ago. If it weren't for my child, I wouldn't

have..."

Summer also understood what she meant. "Well, then what about Leon? He has been really nice to

you."

Sometimes, Summer would be jealous of Monica. If she were Monica, she would throw herself into

Leon's arms immediately because he was too sweet. Monica shook her head unconsciously. "I don't

deserve him."

She was certain that she would not be with Leon.

Hanging up the phone, Monica was a little absent-minded. Below Summer's number was Quarmy's.

Her fingers, which wanted to press the dial key, turned a little white because of overexertion.

After a long while, she still called him. "Hello..." She said with hesitation. She felt the dryness in her

mouth.

"Moni, what's wrong?" Quarmy was a little excited to receive her call.

However, she didn't say anything for a long time. Suddenly, he felt scared. He seemed to foresee

something in such silence. "Moni, Moni?" He urged her in a hurry.

"I'm leaving. I'm on a plane back to America in ten minutes." This time, she wanted to break up with

him directly.

Quarmy tightly held his phone and his fingertips turned white. "Why? Is it because of Leon?"

He mentioned the man's name almost without even thinking about it. After all these years, Leon was

still the obstacle between them.

"Sort of." She didn't want to explain too much, but unconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen.

"How can you treat me like this? You promised me! You promised to start over with me..." The pen in

his hand pierced into his flesh. He didn't know that he was bleeding.

Monica smiled coldly, and the sadness in her heart grew. "Really? But I don't believe you... In fact, I

gave you a chance... Unfortunately... we still missed each other."

They missed so much that she decided to give up.

After that, she hung up the phone, closed her eyes and silently swallowed the sadness in her heart.

"Dear passengers, hello, the XXX flight to the United States is about to take off..." It was repeated over

the airport radio.

Monica stood up and walked to the ticket checking, with a hint of hope in her eyes.

When Mary walked into the office, she saw the absent-minded Quarmy. "Quarmy, what's wrong with

your hand?"

She was here to give him documents. She was going abroad, so she had been handing over her work

these days.

Quarmy looked up at her with a desperate smile. "We're over."

"Quarmy... What happened?"

Quarmy passed out suddenly.

In the United States.

"Mom!" Coco happily ran to Monica as soon as he saw her.

Monica got rid of all her worries when she saw Coco. She opened her arms and hugged him tightly.

"Do you miss Mom?" She asked happily.

Coco nodded crazily in her arms. "Mom, I'm very obedient. I came to pick you up today with the

consent of the doctor."

Letting go of Coco, Monica's heart ached. She almost forgot that he was still a patient.

"Yes, I have already consulted the doctor. He agreed." Leon handsomely came over. It seemed that he

always smiled brightly.

Monica held Coco's hand and stood up. "Leon."

Long time no see!

"Let's go back!" Leon was always straightforward.

When they arrived the Gu family, Monica saw Old Mrs. Gu and Mandy sitting in the living room. She

instantly felt a little embarrassed. In fact, she did not expect that Leon would bring her directly to the Gu

family.

"Hello, Old Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu." She took an awkward look at Leon.

Old Mrs. Gu stood up and sized Monica up. With a faint smile on her kind face, she said, "Coco, come

^ ^ ii

on.

Just when Monica thought she would be scolded, Old Mrs. Gu squatted down and waved at Coco.

"Grand-grandma." Coco ran over happily.

Mandy stood up and smiled. "Leon, Grandma said that we should wait for you to have dinner together.

I'm starving." She complained and went to the dining table.

After dinner, Old Mrs. Gu took Monica to her room.

Old Mrs. Gu took out an exquisite box and let Monica open it. A good- quality green ring was inside.

"What's this?" Monica looked at Old Mrs. Gu in confusion.

Old Mrs. Gu looked at the ring and said seriously, "This is an heirloom of our family. It's not precious. I

just have to give it to my granddaughter-in-law."

"But... I!" Monica finally understood what Old Mrs. Gu meant. She looked at her in disbelief. She

remembered that Old Mrs. Gu didn't want her to be with Leon. Why did she change her mind?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Old Mrs. Gu nodded with gratification and looked at her, saying, "Coco is a good child. I hope he can

have a complete family and my grandson can be happy. I misunderstood you before, but now I

changed my mind. It doesn't matter who my granddaughter- in- law is. What's important is my

grandson's happiness."

Monica really didn't know what to say. She had suffered so much before coming back to Leon's side.

But at this moment, she was already a divorced woman with two children.

Leon was so excellent. What right did she have to be with him?

"I'm sorry, Old Mrs. Gu. I'm pregnant with another man's child." At this time, she didn't know what to do

except refusing.

Old Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment, and then she sighed deeply. "I know what you have

experienced over the years. It's also my fault, if not..."

"No, it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself." Monica handed the box back to

Old Mrs. Gu. After saying a lot, Monica agreed that she would think about it.

Walking out of Old Mrs. Gu's room, Monica saw Leon standing at the door. She looked at him

nervously.

"I am pregnant, Leon." She did not know how to refuse him. Leon was so perfect that she didn't

deserve him.

Leon raised his head and his handsome eyes became more and more charming. "You know I never

care about it."

"But I care. I can't let you suffer such humiliation." She said firmly.

"You're not willing to be with me, aren't you? You still love Quarmy, right?" Leon still smiled gently.

Monica was stunned. Her intuition told her that she did not want to answer this question.

The next day, she got up very early, or it could be said that she didn't sleep at all.

Coco and Leon were doing exercises. She came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

When Mandy got up, she received a phone call from Roland. She was very happy. "Roland, morning."

"Monica has returned to the United States, right?" Roland's question made Mandy's face suddenly

darkened.

He never took the initiative to call her before. This time, he actually called her for Monica.

"Yes!" She said happily, in order not to let Roland dislike her. However, she was not so kind to Monica.

After hanging up the phone, she went downstairs, and Old Mrs. Gu also came out of the room. She ran

up to Old Mrs. Gu. "Grandma."

She greeted Old Mrs. Gu warmly, but Old Mrs. Gu directly went downstairs with a faint smile on her

face.

Mandy's face darkened, and she blamed it all on Monica.

In the evening, Leon and Coco suddenly disappeared. They said that they went out to shop, so Monica

didn't think much about it. When she returned to the room, she called the doctor to make an

appointment for a comprehensive examination the next day.

Everything was ready. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Coco should go to bed. When

Monica opened the door, she was shocked by the colorful lights all over the room. She covered her

mouth with her hands.

The big living room was empty, and there was a heart-shaped candle formation. Leon was in a fancy

tuxedo. Monica unconsciously indulged herself in his beautiful eyes.

"Marry me, Monica!"

Monica was moved to tears by his proposal. If it had happened in the past, she would have agreed

without hesitation.

However... Her hands unconsciously covered her lower abdomen. It was a pity that Leon was not the

father of her children. "Marry him. You would be happy." Old Mrs. Gu smiled.

Monica looked at Leon. He was never a romantic person, but today, he did such a thing for her. She

knew how much he loved her. He did wait a long time for her.

She slowly walked down the stairs and walked up to him. She asked, "Leon, do you really not mind

what have happened before and my unborn child?"

Leon didn't hesitate to shake his head. He had something to do with her sufferings. He was not

qualified to mind her past and he couldn't wait to make her happy.

Tears rolled down Monica's face, but she nodded in agreement.

Leon put the ring on her and then hugged her tightly. His heart was filled with happiness.

Mandy was expressionless, but her heart was extremely uneasy. She had once harmed Monica. If

Monica knew it, she would definitely not let her go. In the future, Leon would definitely take over the Gu

family. Since he liked Monica so much, he would definitely avenge Monica. What should she do then?

The relationship between her and Roland was already in jeopardy. If she could not get the support of

her family, everything would more difficult in the future. She and her parents would have a hard time.

No! She couldn't let her brother marry Monica. She had to think of a way to stop it.

"Monica, can we have a talk?" Mandy walked up to Monica. Monica raised her head and shyly nodded.

The decision she made just now was indeed impulsive. Perhaps it had been too long since she felt

happy. It was Leon who warmed her up.

There was a large garden out of Gu Residence. Mandy came straight to the point. "Why did you agree

to my brother's proposal? I thought you knew what you were doing."

Monica frowned and looked at her. She was puzzled. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Mandy snorted coldly. "Really? You clearly know that Roland likes you. You appear in my house so

openly, and you still want to be his sister- in- law. Don't you think it's embarrassing to have such a

relationship?"

Mandy was a spoiled princess. Naturally, she wouldn't care about others' feelings.

Monica listened silently. Mandy was right. She felt sorry for Roland, but she would not shrink back. This

time, she did not want to give up on Leon.

She wanted to gamble for her and Leon's happiness.

She raised her head and said confidently, "Miss Gu, I know what you mean, but Leon and I are serious.

I only hope that you can bless us. As for Roland, I believe he will support us, too."

Mandy was stunned. She did not understand why Monica, who had been soft, suddenly became so

tough. With the anger in her heart, Mandy said in a harsh tone, "Bless you? Are you, a single mother,

worthy to be with my brother? Monica, look at yourself! You weren't good enough for him before, let

alone now!"

"Mandy, what are you talking about?" Leon's voice suddenly sounded, with unprecedented anger.

Seeing Leon, Mandy's face turned pale. Leon went straight to Monica and held her hand. He looked at

Mandy coldly. "Mind your own business!"

After that, he turned to leave with Monica.

Monica curiously looked at his side face. She had never seen such a tough him before. She couldn't

help smiling.

They disappeared at the corner. Mandy looked at them with hatred. Leon had never talked to her like

this. He had always loved her very much.

"It's all that woman's fault... We'll see!"

In a hospital of Jiang City.

Quarmy slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He was in a hospital.

He slowly sat up and touched a person. His eyes lit up, but the next moment, his eyes dimmed again.

It was not Monica!

Madrigal was awakened. She raised her head and looked at him happily. "You're awake..."

Quarmy nodded and looked at her coldly. "Why are you here?"

"Mary told me that you fainted. Doesn't she plan to go abroad? She doesn't have time to take care of

you, so I'm here." When Madrigal heard that Quarmy passed out, she was really scared. When she

knew it was because of Monica's leave, she was both jealous and happy.

There was no problem with her body, and Eva said that the operation could be carried out

immediately...

She looked at Quarmy happily. Maybe in the near future, he would be her child's father.

"Why are you smiling?" Quarmy's head hurt, and he felt even more headache when he saw her stupid

smile.

Madrigal shook her head and stood up to pour tea for him. At this time, Quarmy's cell phone rang.

When he saw that it was a foreign number, he immediately answered the phone with joy. "Monica..."

"Why do you think it's Monica?" A strange voice sounded on the other side. Quarmy was stunned and

then came to his senses.

"You are..." It was not Monica. He was a little disappointed.

Mandy's mouth curved into a smile. "I'm Leon's sister, Mandy. Mr. Huo, you don't seem to have a good

memory."

Quarmy was slightly stunned. Mandy? Roland's fiancee?

"What's the matter?" He wanted to hang up the phone.

Mandy naturally would not let him hang up the phone. "My brother proposed to your beloved woman

today. Don't you want to know the result? Monica has already agreed." He closed his eyes. "Monica,

you really can't wait!"

"But that's not what I want to tell you." Mandy paused for a moment. "Mr. Huo... Do you know who

Coco's father is?" That was the reason why she made the call.

Quarmy didn't say anything. It didn't matter who Coco's father was. The point was that Monica had

already promised to marry Leon! Quarmy was heartbroken.

"Let me tell you, Coco is your son!"

"Nonsense!" Quarmy was stunned. He had asked Noah to investigate Coco's identity. Mandy must be

talking nonsense.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Coco is indeed your son." Mandy's voice was very clear. "I heard it from my

grandma and my brother. It's true!"

Quarmy's phone almost fell to the ground. After a long while, he asked, "How is it possible?"

Mandy sneered. She could imagine Quarmy's expression. He should be extremely surprised!

"When you divorced Monica, she was pregnant. She hated you for being heartless, so she didn't tell

you. She came back to Jiang City for Coco. Her purpose was to have another child with you and use

the cord blood to save Coco!" Mandy said it clearly, but the man who had always been smart was

dumbfounded.

His phone fell to the ground, and he sat there motionless. As smart as he was, he couldn't understand

the logic of this matter.

"What's wrong?" Madrigal felt that something was wrong. Then, Quarmy ran out of the ward without

saying anything.

Madrigal wanted to followed him but he ran too fast. She had a sinking feeling in her heart. Who called

Quarmy just now?

"Noah, book me the fastest flight to America. I want to go abroad immediately." Quarmy went directly to

the underground parking lot and started the car immediately.

At the airport.

Why was Mr. Huo going to America all of a sudden? Noah was a little confused.

"Send me the specific location of the Gu family. I must get it before I get off the plane." After saying

that, Quarmy immediately went to the ticket barrier.

Noah shook his head. This matter must be related to Monica.

Early in the morning, accompanied by Leonand Coco, Monica went to the hospital for an examination.

Coco's physical condition was very good, so was Monica's.

"Should we celebrate such a good thing?" Leon said happily as he walked out of the hospital.

Coco was excited. "Let's eat something delicious."

Monica smiled helplessly and felt a little distressed. Coco was so young but he couldn't eat what he

liked. It was all her fault. He should have had a happy childhood.

"Okay, I'll make an exception today." It was rare for Leon to be so happy. After all, they could finally let

go of their burdens.

However...

Monica looked out of the window. Would the person in a foreign land also be happy?

After dinner, they went to the park. They were as happy as a family for the whole day, leaving all the

worries behind.

When they returned to the Gu family, Coco shouted happily from far away, "We're back, Grand-

grandma!"

The tall man in the house was stunned, and he slowly turned his head to look at the lively child.

His son! He quickly walked up to Coco, squatted down, and gently placed his hand on Coco's face. At

this moment, the air seemed to have stagnated, and time seemed to have stopped. The only thing left

in the world was his heartbeat. His heart beat as hard as if it would jump out of his chest.

Quarmy's hand gently stroked Coco's face. His delicate skin, pale face, and black eyes...

Quarmy's lips twitched unnaturally. This was Monica's and his son.

Old Mrs. Gu let out a sigh. In the end, Quarmy still knew the truth.

"Old Mrs. Gu..." Monica was supposed to say hello, but her face turned pale when she saw Quarmy,

who was dressed in a casual suit.

Leon also noticed Quarmy's arrival. He took a step forward and reached out to hold Monica's shoulder.

"It's okay. I'm here." Monica felt at ease in an instant. She stood up straight and looked at Quarmy.

"Why are you here?"

She said this in a husky voice.

Quarmy stood up and looked at her with anger in his eyes. "Of course you don't want me to be here. I

just want to know what you have been hiding from me these years."

Monica staggered, but fortunately, Leon helped her in time. Leon either accidentally or deliberately

glanced at Mandy, who was gloating.

"Mr. Huo, nice to meet you." Pulling Monica behind him, Leon stood up and stretched out his hand like

a gentleman.

Mandy stopped smiling. Only she knew that Leon was really angry. She really didn't want to be

scolded.

The two men shook hands for a long time. Both of them looked calm, but the people present felt that

something was about to happen.
