Every Breath You Take

Chapter 80

Jenny and Madrigal were not happy, so was Quarmy. Ever since he found out that Monica had a child

with another man, his heart had never been at peace.

He had always thought that Monica's blind date was not a big deal. Now it seemed that she really

wanted to find a father for her child, so she chose a person like Evan.

Thinking that Monica's life had almost been ruined, he had been filled with self-blame and hatred. Her

current situation was caused by him, and he must find a way to make it up for her.

Because of this idea, he was not in the mood to work for the past few days. After work, he did not go

home. Instead, he drove to Monica's place and found that Roland had become a frequent visitor to

Monica's house.

Seeing that Roland swaggered in and out of Monica's house and accompanied Coco to have fun,

Quarmy couldn't help but feel depressed.

Even a blind man could feel the eagerness in Roland's eyes when he looked at Monica. It was

impossible for Monica to not know how Roland felt for her. She allowed Roland to freely go in and out

of her home, so she must have feelings for Roland. Quarmy felt both anxious and angry.

How could Monica fall in love with someone so easily? The most important thing was that he had let

Noah inform Kim. Why hadn't the Gu family taken action yet?

Quarmy felt terrible in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He just stayed in Monica's

neighborhood everyday, watching Roland send her home. After they had dinner, he would see them go

out to have a walk.

They looked happy, while he felt that ten thousand arrows were piercing his heart. He was in so much

pain that he wanted to die.

However, he could not leave no matter how painful it was. He had to see Roland leave with his own

eyes. Only then could he felt relieved.

He knew that his actions were very laughable. He was now her ex-husband who had made mistakes.

He should stay out of Monica's business. Staying here was only hurting himself. He knew everything,

but he couldn't control himself.

It was already ten o'clock when he returned home. When he entered, he saw Jenny sitting in the living

room with a sullen face. He said tiredly to the servant, "Help me prepare some food. I'll take a shower

and come out to eat."

Jenny stopped him when she saw him go upstairs. "Why don't you answer my phone?"

"Didn't I tell you? I'm busy. I don't have time to have dinner with you."

"I asked your secretary. They said that you had nothing important to do today, but you said that you

were very busy and didn't even have time for dinner. Why did you lie to me?" Jenny's face darkened.

"Don't you think you care too much?" "You're my son. I have to care about you." Jenny retorted with

conviction.

"So I'm your son? I thought I was your pet." Quarmy was in a bad mood and was especially impolite.

"Since you want to control me, why don't you use a chain to lock me in the house? You don't have to

put in so much effort to keep me under your nose all day."

Jenny was annoyed, but Quarmy ignored her and went upstairs.

Quarmy drove to Monica's neighborhood in a daze. He was surprised to see Coco playing a ball on the

lawn.

Seeing Coco, he felt warm. He didn't belong to the kind of person who liked children very much, but

when he saw Coco, he felt warm and comfortable. That familiar feeling made him very surprised. He

thought that because he loved Monica, so he liked her son.

Coco didn't notice that Quarmy was quietly standing to the side and watching him. He was focused on

playing with the ball as he counted, "One, two, three..."

Suddenly, the ball in his hand rolled to one side. Just then a bald guy came over with his son. The child

was older than Coco. He picked the ball up and held it in his hand.

Seeing that, Coco said, "Give the ball back to me."

"No!" With the bald guy around, the child was very arrogant. The bald guy saw that his child wouldn't

be at a disadvantage, he didn't stop him. He only focused on playing with his phone. "This is my ball,

give it back to me quickly!" Coco was anxious.

"I won't give it to you." Seeing Coco stretch out his hand to grab it, the child gave him a nudge, causing

him to fall to the ground. Quarmy hurriedly walked over.

Coco didn't cry like ordinary children after he fell to the ground. Instead, he got up and rushed to the

child. The child reached out to push him, and then he fell to the ground again. This time Coco got

angry. He climbed up and grabbed the child's hand and took a bite.

After that, the child released the ball and burst into tears. The bald guy immediately stopped playing

with his mobile phone. Seeing the teeth marks on the hand of his son, the bald guy suddenly got angry.

"Son of a b*tch!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab Coco. Unexpectedly, his hand was twisted by someone.

Quarmy looked at him coldly. "How can you, an adult, bully a child?"

"Let go of me! It hurts so much!" The bald guy shouted because Quarmy exerted quite a bit of strength.

Quarmy loosened his grip and the bald guy was pushed out. He staggered a few steps before

regaining his footing. "Is this your child? He bit my son!" The bald guy said with deliberate anger.

"You weren't so angry when your son bullied him just now, were you?" Quarmy sneered.

"Well... my son just pushed your son, but your son bit my son. What if he's infected?" The bald guy

argued. "You have to take my son to the hospital with a tetanus injection. You pay for this."

Hearing that, Quarmy got angry, "Get the hell out of here with your son before I get angry! Otherwise,

you'll have to take responsibility for the consequences!"

Seeing the coldness in Quarmy's eyes, the bald man couldn't help but shudder. Quarmy didn't look like

someone he could provoke. After thinking for a while, he left resentfully with his son.

Quarmy picked up the ball and passed it to Coco. Coco looked at him with some admiration. "Uncle,

are you a policeman?"

"No, I'm not."

"If you're not a policeman, why is that bad guy so afraid of you?"

"Because he has done something wrong, and he felt guilty."

"Oh." Coco seemed to be confused. "Uncle, you must be very good at fighting, right? Can you teach

me?"

"Why do you want to learn that?"

"If I'm good at fighting, I can protect Mom and Great-uncle from being bullied!" Quarmy's heart ached

when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xanjer's voice. "Coco, Coco!"

"Great-uncle called for me. I'm leaving! Uncle, you must remember to teach me in the future!" Before

leaving, Coco reminded him.

In the evening, Monica came back. Coco told her what happened during the day. Monica was scared.

"Coco, when you go out to play, you must be with your great-uncle. Don't bite others. It's wrong."

"He robbed me and hit me. Mom, I didn't do anything wrong."

"I know. But you are all kids. If he likes you ball, let him play with it for a while."

"But I only have one ball. If I give him mine, Mom has to buy a new one for me. Mom is very tired. I

don't want to let Mom spend too much."

Monica sighed. It was all because she was useless. She let Coco feel the economic pressure at such a

young age. She secretly vowed in her heart that she would never mention the problem of money in

front of Coco. "I have money. If Coco wants anything, I can buy it for you."

"I don't want anything. Can I go to the amusement park again?"

"Okay!" Monica agreed quickly.

Roland was out of town, and Monica was allowed not to go to the company. Taking this opportunity, she

decided to take Coco to the amusement park.

Early in the morning, she got up and helped Coco to wash up. Then, she went out with Coco in her

arms.

Seeing that Monica and Coco got on a taxi, a black car parked at the gate of the community followed

them immediately. Monica was afraid of heights so she couldn't take those thrilling rides with Coco. She This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

only took Coco to play on merry- go- rounds and bumper cars. Coco felt bored after a while. "Mom, I

want to play with the one Uncle Wang took me to last time." "I'm afraid of heights, and you can't play

with it alone." Monica explained.

"Then let's call Uncle Wang and ask him to come over, shall we?"

"No, Uncle Wang has his own business. He can't play with you all day long."

"But he said that he wanted to be my father. He also said that if I agreed, he would take me to the

amusement park every day."

"He was just joking."

"No, Uncle Wang said that he was serious and he would keep his word. He and I made a pinky

promise. Mom, call him and ask him to come over."

"I said no!" Monica's face darkened.

Coco puckered his small mouth and burst into tears. Monica didn't know what to do. A slender hand

appeared. "Let me accompany you to play with it."

Monica looked at Quarmy who appeared suddenly in surprise. When she saw him grab Coco's hand,

she reflexively refused. "No need!"

Coco looked at Quarmy with happiness. "Uncle, why are you here?"

"I'm here to have fun. Since you want to ride a roller coaster, I'll take you there, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" The two of them spoke as if they were close friends. They completely ignored Monica.

Seeing that Quarmy was about to leave with Coco, Monica was furious. "Quarmy, what are you doing?"

"I just want to accompany the child on the roller coaster. I don't mean anything else."

"Mom, please. He is a good person, and he won't hurt me."

"How did you know?"

"I just know." Coco held Quarmy's hand. "I'm going to learn martial arts from him so that I can protect

you."

They ignored Monica's strong opposition and left holding each other's hands. Seeing the two get on the

roller coaster, Monica dejectedly sat on the chair. Why did Coco have such a strong affection for a

stranger? Was it really because they were related by blood?

When Coco and Quarmy came back, it was already noon. The hot sun made people dizzy. Monica took

Coco from Quarmy and left.

At noon, the drivers outside had probably gone to eat, so they couldn't see a car for a long time. "Mom,

it's so hot!" Coco twisted her little body uneasily.

"Get in the car. I'll send you back!" Quarmy drove the car to Monica. Monica turned her head and

ignored him.

"I know you're unwilling, but it's hot. Do you want to watch the child suffer from heatstroke?" Quarmy

opened the car door and got out.

Looking at the sweat on Coco's forehead and his blushing face, Monica finally agreed.

Quarmy didn't want to let go of such a precious opportunity, so he slowed down and asked, "Coco, are

you hungry?" "Let me take you to eat delicious food, okay?"

Coco glanced at his mom. He had originally wanted to say yes, but it turned out to be no. Quarmy

didn't give up and said, "There are very delicious fruits, ice cream, seafood and pizza..." He actually

didn't know what Coco liked, but he remembered that the first time he saw Coco, he was eating pizza

with Monica.

Coco swallowed his saliva and looked at Monica eagerly. Monica pretended that she couldn't see the

desire in his eyes. "Baby, let's go home and eat."

Coco nodded. "I'll listen to Mom. I've had fun at the amusement park. I can't ask more. Children need to

save money for parents."

Quarmy had originally wanted to bait Coco, but he hadn't expected Coco to say that. He frowned.

"Monica, why are you so stingy?"

"Mr. Huo, you don't have the right to blame me!" Monica coldly replied. He had no right to complain

about how stingy he was. She had saved some money these years, but she had used it to buy a

house. Although the salary offered by Roland was very good, she couldn't use it all. She had to save

money. Coco was growing up and Xanjer's health wasn't good. She would need a lot of money in the

future. She had no choice.

"Uncle will treat you for lunch today. I don't need your mom to pay for it!" Quarmy drove to a fancy

restaurant.

"Mom, uncle said that you didn't have to pay for it." Coco looked at Monica. Hearing his stomach

growling, Monica felt distressed and carried him out of the car.

"Mom, this restaurant is so beautiful!" Coco looked around curiously. "The food inside must be

delicious, right?"

"Yes." Monica answered. This was the most expensive restaurant in Jiang City, of course the food here

was delicious.

Monica sat down with Coco in her arms. Seeing Quarmy sit down with her, she said coldly, "Thank you

for sending us here, Mr. Huo. I'll pay you for the fare. Please don't follow us, okay?"

"I said I'd buy you dinner."

"No need!" Monica refused.

Quarmy ignored her refusal and shamelessly sat down across from her. "What do you want to eat,

Coco?" He asked as he picked up the menu.

"I..." Coco glanced at his mother and lowered his head. "I'll eat whatever Mom eats."

Quarmy looked at Monica's unfriendly face and ordered on his own. The dishes were quickly served.

Coco was hungry and ate them like a wolf, which broke Monica's heart.

Seeing that Monica was just staring at Coco, Quarmy picked up some food for Monica. "Don't just look

at Coco, you should also eat."

"Mom, eat this." Coco used his chubby hands to pick up the food for her. Monica ate it, but she did not

eat what Quarmy gave her.

Seeing this, Quarmy's eyes dimmed a little. However, he quickly adjusted his mood and picked up

some food for Coco. Coco smiled at him. "Thank you, Uncle."

"Quarmy? Why are you here?" A voice suddenly sounded. Monica looked at Jenny, who was standing

next to them with a gloomy face.

Jenny was eating happily with her friend in this restaurant. Suddenly, her friend reminded her, "Isn't that

Quarmy? Why is there a child?"

Jenny's heart sank when she looked over. Her son actually took Monica to have dinner with that child.

It seemed that he had already known that Monica had a child.

No wonder he was in such a bad mood these days. It turned out that he already knew about it. Jenny

was a little flustered. Since her son knew it, why didn't he say anything?

According to his character, he should have gone home and had a big fight with her. She was eating

while paying attention to the three people.

Seeing her son's ingratiating look and Monica's indifference, Jenny was so angry that her heart ached.

She was planing to leave with her friend who just received an urgent call. But when Jenny arrived at

the door, she thought that she couldn't leave like this, so she returned.

"Why are you here?" Quarmy's voice was very cold.

"Don't you know why?" Jenny asked, "Didn't you say that you were very busy? Why did you come here

for dinner?"

"Can't I even eat?"

"Of course you can, but can you also weigh the pros and cons? You can't leave your fiancee alone."

Jenny said with a fake smile and looked at Monica. "Quarmy is about to get engaged to Madrigal. Miss

Mo, if you have time, you can attend the engagement banquet."

Monica's expression didn't change at all. "Madam Huo, I'm so glad you're here. Your son has been

following us, and I'm already very annoyed. Since you're here, take him away! As for the engagement

banquet, we don't seem to be familiar with each other. You've invited the wrong person."

"You!" Jenny was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She fiercely roared at Monica, "Monica, people

should know their own limits. Why are you so shamelessly pestering Quarmy?"

"Mom, you are wrong. She didn't pester me. I'm pestering her." Quarmy interrupted Jenny.

"Don't you feel ashamed to say that? Why do you ignore your fiancee and stay with a shameless

woman every day? You embarrassed me!!"

"Mom, what is shameless?" Coco asked.

"Your mother is a shameless woman!" Jenny interrupted. Quarmy's expression changed. "Mom!"

Monica had been forbearing for the sake of Coco. Hearing Jenny's words, she finally couldn't bear it

anymore. She grabbed the cup on the table and poured it at Jenny.

Jenny had never dreamed that Monica would get mad. She was splashed with water. She always

thought herself elegant and noble. When had she been so humiliated in front of outsiders? She was so

angry that she trembled. "You dare to splash on me!"

"How dare you spout such nonsense in front of my son! Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!" Monica was

ferocious. She turned to look at Quarmy. "Get the hell out of here!"

Quarmy couldn't stay any longer. He stood up and left. Monica's voice came from behind him.

"Remember to get the check!"

Watching Quarmy leave, Jenny glared at Monica and chased after him.

Monica walked out of the restaurant with Coco in her arms. She was in an extremely bad mood. Coco

lay in her arms. "Mom, that bad granny is so fierce!"

Monica nodded. "Coco, in the future, stay away from that uncle, or that bad granny will come out."

Coco nodded. "I'll listen to Mom, and stay away from that uncle when I see him in the future."
