Every Breath You Take

In the evening, Quarmy came back a little earlier than usual. He found that he had a lot of questions, but he didn't know how to ask Monica.

Hannah's mother had remarried to Francisco's father. Although Francisco and Monica were not related by blood, he was still Monica's uncle. Quarmy felt sad when he found that he knew little about Monica. Before the marriage, he had asked about her family. She said that her parents died and her only relative was her uncle. Actually, it wasn't her fault that she didn't tell him more specifics. At that time every time he returned home, he only wanted to spend some time alone with her. He didn't care about what she was thinking at all. He was not good enough. No wonder she used to keep secrets from him. Quarmy didn't know what to do. Finally, when he took a walk with Monica after dinner, he asked tentatively, "Moni, does your mother have any brothers and sisters besides your uncle?"

Monica was stunned. "No!"

From the moment she could remember, she only knew that she had an uncle. During holidays, other children would go back to their grandmothers' home with their parents. She was very envious, so she asked her mother about her grandma. Her mother told her that her grandparents were dead. Later, her mother took her back to Jiang City to pay respect to the dead, but she only saw her grandfather's grave. She once asked her mother where her grandmother's grave was, but her mother didn't answer. When she saw her mother's angry look, she didn't dare to ask again.

She had never asked about her mother's brothers or sisters. As far as she could remember, there was only one uncle, Xanjer, who used to have a bad relationship with her mother.

Her mother seldom took her back to visit her uncle, but her uncle treated her well. He often asked someone to bring her delicious food. Besides, he would often buy gifts for her.

Zoe seemed to dislike Xanjer. In her memory, Zoe had never mentioned her uncle, so she guessed that the bad relationship between Mom and Uncle should have something to do with her father. Later, her mother died in a car accident, and her uncle Xanjer appeared in her life.

At that time, her uncle took care of her mother's funeral. Zoe was having a meeting outside. Zoe came back as soon as he knew Hannah's death. However, when Zoe arrived, her uncle had her mother cremated. It was the first time that she saw Xanjer get angry. His eyes were red and he punched and kicked Zoe. She didn't have a lot of contact with Xanjer. On the contrary, she had deep feelings for Zoe. However, when she saw Xanjer beating Zoe that day, she didn't hate Xanjer at all.

Later, Xanjer wanted to take her away, but Zoe did not allow him to do so. She remembered Zoe's vicious warning to Xanjer, "Don't push me! Or I'll expose what you did!" Later, Xanjer gave up taking her away. He told her, "I've been in the tube-shaped apartment in Jiang City. When you miss me, come to visit me. I will come to see you often in the future."

Later, Yale appeared with Madrigal. Monica finally understood why her uncle hated Zoe so much. She did not want such a shameless father, so she resolutely left Zoe and came to Xanjer.

Why did Quarmy suddenly ask her about her mother? He must have some reasons to do so. Monica asked him, "Why do you ask this?"

"Well, your mother died early. You were still young at that time. I wonder if you have other relatives..."

"Other relatives?" Monica stopped to look at Quarmy. "I've only had one uncle for as long as I can remember. I've never heard of anyone else."

"What if your mom didn't tell you?" Quarmy asked tentatively.

Monica glared at him. "What do you mean? It's a good thing that I have other relatives. Why didn't my mother tell me?"

Monica's reply made Quarmy speechless for a moment. He suddenly realized a problem. Hannah must know that Xanjer was Francisco. But why didn't she tell Monica? Was it because Monica was too young, or did Hannah do it on purpose?

If Xanjer's identity was not supposed to be known by Monica, then Hannah must have kept it a secret for Monica's own good. If so, was it appropriate for him to tell Monica that Xanjer was Francisco?

The point was that Xanjer's identity had not yet been confirmed. He might as well wait until Mary and Eva meet before making a decision.

He always felt that Xanjer's matter was strange. He had to investigate it carefully.

Mary and Eva were holding each other and crying. Mary wept with joy, while Eva was acting. Eva quickly stopped crying and persuaded Mary to stop crying.

After that, Eva began to explain. She said that she was raped at a young age and got pregnant later. She could not bear to abort the innocent child, so she chose to keep it. However, as an unmarried woman, was difficult for her to support a child, so she sent her to an orphanage. Anyway, she was just talking about how difficult she was at that time and asking Mary to forgive her.

After Mary forgave her, she asked Mary how she had lived all these years. Naturally, Mary told her everything without hesitation. Eva was not interested in it at all. She just wanted to know how Mary found her. When Eva knew that Mary began to investigate her with Quarmy because of Monica's jade pendant, she was shocked. It was not a good thing for Quarmy to know it. After thinking for a while, she made a request to Mary.

She said that she was raped at that time, and this matter would affect her reputation. She begged Mary not to tell others their relationship, even if it was Quarmy.

Mary was a little hesitant. Quarmy was so kind that she didn't want to lie to him. Seeing that, Eva told Mary that she and Quarmy's mother were friends. No one knew that she used to be raped. If Quarmy knew this, he might accidentally tell Jenny. If so, she would never be able to raise her head again.

It was a little cruel for Mary not to tell others that she finally found her mother. But she was a kind person, and she just wanted to find her mother. She knew that Eva was a famous doctor now. It was not easy for Eva to get her current position, so Mary agreed.

When they walked out of the restaurant, they found that it was already evening. Eva reminded Mary to keep their relationship a secret again and then left.

On the way back, Eva began to plan. Mary was a big trouble. She had to find a way to get rid of her. Also, she had to deal with Madrigal's matter as soon as possible. Therefore, she immediately went to find Jenny.

It was late, so Jenny was surprised. "What happened?"

"I saw Yale in the hospital yesterday. We talked about Quarmy and Madrigal. Yale said something to me. I think I'd better tell you."

"What did she say?" Jenny was naturally interested.

"She said that you went back on your word and treated the engagement as a joke. Fortunately, she didn't choose to believe in you."

Jenny got angry. "Isn't this caused by her daughter? What does it have to do with me?"

"Don't be angry. Let me finish my words." Eva knew Jenny's temper. "The point is not Yale's complaints, but the sports meeting project. Yale seemed to have lied to you." "She lied to me?" "When Monica came back, Yale was afraid that Quarmy would abandon Madrigal, so she said that the Jane family could do nothing about the project." Eva was good at lying. "What can Yale do?" Jenny doubted.

"Don't look down on Yale. She is too capable. I think she told me this to get a message to you. After all, she knows that I have a good relationship with you."

"What does she mean?"

"Yale is disappointed with Quarmy, but Madrigal likes Quarmy, so Yale has no choice. If you can let Quarmy and Madrigal be together, she will find a way to let VSUS win the project."

"I knew it! Yale and Zoe said it would be a fair competition, but I knew that was a lie." Jenny was angry.

"Well, after all, this project is too important. Think about it. How many companies are fighting for it? If you have no sincerity, how can they give it to you in vain?" Eva analyzed, "You are on guard against them. It's normal for them to guard against you."

"I know. But who can guarantee that Yale will help me?"

"That's simple. According to my proposal that day, you can find a way to let Quarmy and Madrigal be together. Yale will naturally be relieved."

"It's just that Quarmy doesn't listen to me now. He won't even go back now. What can I do?"

"Doesn't he come home for your birthday?" Eva reminded. "It's your birthday this Friday. When he comes back, you can create an opportunity for Madrigal and him to be together. The rest is up to fate."

"Can it work?"

"Of course. Anyway, you can win the project in vain. In the future, if Madrigal can get pregnant, let Quarmy marry her. If she can't, it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, you've tried your best, Yale can't do anything to you."

Jenny thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea."

Hearing that, Eva was relieved. Only Jenny could help her. As long as they could create an opportunity for Quarmy and Madrigal to stay in the same room, even if Quarmy didn't touch Madrigal, she could find a way to let Madrigal get pregnant with Quarmy's child.
