Jeremy did not give Karen the chance to ask questions, however. He got up and left.In order not to disturb Madeline, Karen did not call out to Jeremy again.Seeing Jeremy enter Jackson and Lillian's room, she did not follow him in so as to not bother them.Jeremy hugged the two little babies who were asleep. Looking at the two calm faces, his heart was filled with resentment and guilt.He set his eyes on Lillian’s sleeping face, his deep eyes gentle and watery."Lillian, I’ll never have the chance to hear you call me ‘Daddy’ anymore, but you’re the only little princess in my heart."He bowed his head and wanted to kiss her cute little cheek, but thinking of the blood he had just coughed up, he felt that he was not even qualified to hold the child.Jeremy left sadly, looking at Madeline's door quietly for a long time before he was ready to leave. When he turned around, however, he saw Jackson standing in front of him. Those clear and simple eyes were looking at him very seriousl
Upon hearing what her son said, something seemed to be fiercely tugging at Madeline's consciousness.She returned to her senses and calmed down, asking with a smile, "Jack, did he really tell you that? When did he tell you this?""Daddy came to visit Lilly and me last night, but he left really quickly." Jackson's big eyes were filled with loneliness and reluctance. One could see that his feelings for Jeremy were very deep.Madeline's heartbeat became very irregular after listening to her son's words.As if nothing had happened, she kissed his cute little cheek and comforted him. "Jack, have breakfast first. Look, even Lilly is almost done eating."When Lillian heard Madeline mentioning her, she raised her lively big eyes and smiled.Madeline's broken heart was healed a little by this warm smile, but she was still bothered about what her son said just now.After sending the two children to school, Madeline hesitated while holding the mobile phone before finally dialing Jeremy's n
Madeline glanced at Lana. "I said, I have something to tell you."A faint smile appeared on Jeremy's handsome face. "There are no outsiders here. My business is also my girlfriend's business. If Miss Montgomery has something to say, just say it."Jeremy's contemptuous attitude made Madeline’s heart go completely dead.Just as she was about to speak, Lana walked over leisurely and leaned close into Jeremy's side. Her tone was coquettish when she said, ”Jeremy, as your rightful girlfriend, I won't bother your talk with this Miss Montgomery. I’ll go to the dessert shop downstairs to make a reservation. I’ll wait for you to come down and have afternoon tea with me later."Jeremy smiled at Lana softly. "Alright, you go ahead first. I’ll come down and accompany you soon.""Alright." Lana curled her red lips and walked past Madeline with a complacent smile. "Miss Montgomery, I heard that you’re to be married to Ryan Jones soon. Since you can find a man to marry you just after your divorc
The words he uttered from his lips were filled with intense dissatisfaction.His cold eyes had the same dismissive feeling as back then.Madeline looked at this resolute and stern face without any expectation or light in her eyes."Don't worry, I’ll never come to you again. You’re no longer the one I love. The moment you chose Lana, I had already given up on you.""That's for the best," Jeremy sneered with the corners of his seductive lips, "I don't want to be thought of by you anymore. Do you know that in the past few years, I really grew tired of your attachment to me?”Tired.It turned out that he had been tired of her love and attachment toward him since a long time ago.Madeline's cold heart shuddered again.At this moment, her cell phone rang. Ryan was calling.Madeline picked up the call and Ryan's gentle voice sounded. "I'm downstairs Whitman Corporation. Will you still take long?"Madeline adjusted her emotions and replied, "Ryan, I’ll head down right away. Please wa
Madeline was seated in Ryan's car. Looking at the empty ring finger on her left hand, she inevitably remembered her separation and reunion with Jeremy over the years.She was suddenly confused. In these years, had Jeremy ever really loved her?Surely he had.That was why he was able to protect her at all costs back then.That was why when he had hugged her to sleep previously, he would show a pure childlike smile.‘But Jeremy, what wrong step did we take that things have turned out this way between us…’Her heart ached silently. Ryan stretched out his hand suddenly and gently held hers. He did not say anything and just gave Madeline a warm look."I want to make the wedding matters a little simpler. What do you think?" Ryan asked for Madeline's opinion gently.The Joneses were a famous family in Glendale. Now that Ryan was getting married, the wedding was bound to be a sensation.Madeline thought that this might be the case because she had been married twice, got divorced twice
Madeline had just walked to the door of the room when the lights inside suddenly went out.For a moment, she felt a black shadow flashing past her eyes, but it was only for a moment.Madeline reacted instantly and immediately turned on the lights, but after the lights were switched on, there was no one in the room—only an opened wedding photo album that was on the bed.Madeline walked in, faintly smelling a cold light fragrance through her nose. She suddenly understood something.Seeing herself smiling so sullenly in the wedding photo and the man’s cold and cheerless features, Madeline gently picked up the photo album before forcefully tearing the wedding photo in half.Jeremy, who was standing behind the curtain of the balcony, saw this scene. It was as if his heart was being penetrated by a sharp blade.He watched Madeline put down the jewelry box she was gently holding onto before she left without even turning her head.After he saw her drive away, Jeremy returned to the room
"Jeremy, what are you looking at? The light is green," Lana informed. Just as she was about to look in the direction Jeremy was staring at, the car started.Jeremy took a paper towel to wipe the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth.Lana did not notice that Jeremy was coughing up blood, only supporting her cheek with one hand as she looked at Jeremy who was driving with a smitten look on her face."Jeremy, you’re really attractive. I used to play around with so many men, but you’re different. I really have the urge to live with you forever."Jeremy glanced sideways at Lana. "Do you really like me that much?""Of course." Lana’s eyes were filled with infatuation, and she looked confident. "I’ll have you slowly fall in love with me and forget about that Eveline because I believe that love will last for a long time."Jeremy pulled the corners of his lips and smiled meaningfully. "I believe it too."Lana was satisfied with this answer, but she still looked a little concernedly i
Splash, splash!Lillian instinctively struggled in the water.Meanwhile, Lana stood by the pool and enjoyed the scenery. She watched Lillian eventually halt in her struggling, gradually sinking to the bottom of the pool. Lana then took a puff of smoke, her gaze becoming more psychotic and satisfied."Eveline, it seems like I'll be able to see what you’ll look like when you’re suffering in pain soon enough."Lana smiled, then turned around and headed out. She decided to dispose of Lillian's corpse only when she returned.Fabian, who had come out of the house to answer the phone, could vaguely hear some weird noises. He walked toward the pool where the noises came from.At first, he thought it was just a bird that was fluttering on the surface of the swimming pool, but after taking a closer look, he realized that it was a child!He did not know why there was a child in the water. He hurried over and jumped into the water without hesitation.When he saw that the little girl was Li
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
