The door of the private room slammed shut. Hearing the hurried footsteps going away, Quarmy suddenly stood up. He only took a step and sat back on the sofa feebly.
He put out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it into the trash can. He leaned back and rubbed his temple. He had never been so annoyed.
He could not help but take out a cigarette case and pulled out a cigarette. When he was ready to light it up, he heard a coquettish voice. "I don't like the smell of cigarettes. I hate men who smoke!"
Quarmy's action to light the cigarette stopped. He sighed heavily and threw the lighter on the table. He had to stop smoking in the future.
Monica stopped a car and went home after her tears had dried up. Seeing her coming back, Xanjer Mo immediately went to the kitchen to heat up the dishes. Monica stopped him. "Uncle, I've eaten."
Actually, she hadn't had a meal yet, she just didn't have the appetite.
Seeing her pale face, Xanjer Mo said with concern, "Moni, you don't look well. Do you want to see the doctor?"
"No, a little bit rest will be fine!"
Closing the door and lying on the bed, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart. So she struggled to get up and was ready to pour water, but her cell phone suddenly rang. She picked up, Leon Gu's voice came through. "Moni, Coco is sick!"
"Is it serious?" If it was just a slight fever, Leon Gu wouldn't have called her.
"A little bit. If you have time, come and see him!"
"I know!" Because of Leon Gu's phone call, her heart was no longer blocked. Instead, she was all worried about Coco.
Monica immediately booked a flight ticket and called Roland Wang to ask for leave. Roland was surprised and asked, "What happened?"
"There's something going on at home."
Seeing that she refused to answer, he didn't keep asking and readily agreed.
"Not yet, but we will find him soon."
"Mom, take your time. Don't worry. I can find dad with you in the future."
Monica nodded heavily with her son in her arms. "I will pick up you soon after I settle down."
Leon Gu sighed aside. "Monica, come back if you can't make it. I can support you and your child."
"Leon Gu, I don't want to owe you too much, do you understand?"
"I am willing."
"But I can't. Leon Gu, you deserve to be loved by better women!" Leon Gu was silent for a long time before sighing. "Monica, if you are tired, welcome back at any time. I will always be there for you."
