When Madeline was faced with Jeremy’s doubts, she could only clench her fists. She felt her nails digging into her palms before she slowly said, "Jeremy, there are some things I can’t tell you yet, but please believe me. I won’t ever do anything to hurt you.”"If I don't believe you, I wouldn’t be standing here right now." Jeremy took Madeline's hand and lowered his head closer to her. "Linnie, I’m your husband. You can trust me and rely on me anytime."When she heard his soft voice of patience and comfort, Madeline felt a pain in her heart. She looked at his deep expecting eyes but could not say anything."Jeremy, I—""Mr. and Mrs. Whitman." A man walked over to say hello.Madeline took Jeremy's arm and smiled politely at the guest.After he left, another came, and then a third one. They were all here to talk to Jeremy.Madeline could feel Jeremy's coldness toward her. It felt like he would rather have small talk with acquaintances than continue on with their conversation.She
He was still angry with her.Madeline felt lost and wronged, but she could not talk to anyone about it.She took out her phone and called Ava. "Ava, are you free now? Can you come to the hotel to pick me up?"Ava could tell that Madeline was drunk from the way she spoke. Without saying another word, she hurried over to the hotel address that Madeline gave her.Jeremy continued waiting. He was waiting for Madeline to tell him the reason, but before he got an explanation, Ava arrived.He saw Madeline and Ava walking to each other before linking their arms and walking out of the banquet hall. Madeline looked drunk as she leaned on Ava's shoulder."What's the matter, Maddie? Why did you drink so much? Did you quarrel with Jeremy?" Ava asked worriedly. She saw that Jeremy was standing not too far away but was ignoring them."When will Jeremy stop making you sad?"Madeline shook her head drunkenly. "He didn’t do anything. It’s all my fault."Ava, can I sleep at your place tonight?"
"Jeremy, don't leave me." Still in her drunken stupor, Madeline’s eyes were half-open and full of reluctance.Jeremy held her hand. Madeline's small pink face was reflected in his amber pupils.He promised softly, "I’m not going to leave you.""You are." Madeline's eyes were hot. "You’ll leave me. You will..."Jeremy was taken aback for a moment and suddenly did not know how he should respond.Yes, it was true. He was going to leave her. At most, he had two years to stay with her and the children."Linnie." Jeremy's heart tightened.Madeline’s eyes turned red as she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. "Don't go. I don't want to experience the feeling of losing you again."Jeremy gulped as an unignorable pain surged in his heart.He stroked Madeline's head to comfort her.He then heard Madeline's crying sobs. "During your absence for half a year, I thought you had left me forever. Every night after the kids were asleep, I’d just lay alone in bed in a daze. I did
...Madeline sank into Jeremy's tenderness for the whole night.It was noon the next day when she woke up and found the man lying next to her. Suddenly, Madeline felt shy as her heart started beating faster.They were already married, so why did she feel this way?When she thought about their crazy behavior last night, she blushed and could not help but lean into the man's arms.For the past six months, every night she spent without him by her side was bone-chillingly cold. After he came back, everything still felt strange and it was only until last night when his tenderness cured the part of her heart that was hurt.Madeline looked up at Jeremy's hair.After the third bottle of anti-toxoid test reagent was administered, the change in the color of his hair could be seen. It was not as light as it was in the beginning.It seemed that the anti-toxoid test reagent was real and effective.However, after last night, Madeline was a little bit nervous because Ryan might refuse to g
Ryan asked directly in an extremely cold tone. He was obviously dissatisfied with what happened last night. "Don't ask nonsense," Madeline replied impatiently."if that's the case, why did you act stupidly?" Ryan asked in a cold voice, his dissatisfaction apparent. "You only needed to be Mrs. Jones last night. Didn’t you understand?” "I didn't violate the agreement between me and you. I didn't know that Jeremy would come," Madeline emphasized, "Ryan, I've tried my best to do everything you asked for, but I’m just an ordinary person. Some variables are beyond my control."After Madeline said that, Ryan no longer said anything. He frowned slightly and seemed to be pondering something."Ryan, what are you trying to do? What's your relationship with Adam?" Madeline broke the silence and asked.Ryan looked up, his space gray pupils surging with obscure colors."You should stop asking because you'll never get the answer,” Ryan replied faintly before picking up a box next to him. He
After he listened to Jeremy's warning, Ryan's face was no longer calm and composed.His face fell. His handsome and gentle features clouded with thick darkness.He picked up his phone and called Adam. "Get Lana's location and update me immediately."Adam was obedient and immediately called Lana according to Ryan's instructions.Since Lana needed Adam’s anti-toxoid reagent to live, she had set a special ringtone for Adam’s calls.Coincidentally, Lana had just run out of the anti-toxoid test reagents yesterday. When she received the call from Adam, she was very excited. "Adam, give me the anti-toxoid test reagent!" she said in a commanding tone."At eight o'clock tonight, you’ll go to the presidential suite of Glendale Hotel and wait. Someone will send you the bottles of anti-toxoid test reagent," Adam answered unhurriedly.Lana gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction. "Adam, you traitor! Have you forgotten who gave you the resources and asked you to do the research? Once my brother
When she saw Ryan's ominous gaze, Lana realized that Ryan was not joking with her.She was worried and uneasy when she looked at the man who appeared to be such a gentleman but gave off an aura of darkness and horror."Ryan, w-why do you want to kill me? I didn’t do anything to you. You—""An idiot like you doesn’t deserve to live in this world," Ryan said coldly.“...”"Lana, remember what I asked you the other day? I asked you if you knew why you got to come back to Glendale alive. Well, I’ll tell you now. It was because of me.""W-What?" Shocked, Lana looked at the man who was speaking slowly. "It was you? How could it be you? You and Jeremy teamed up to catch me just to let me go again? Heh! Do you really think I would believe in such an absurd thing?!"Lana was full of doubts. She did not believe that such a thing would happen. When she remembered that Ryan was a part of Interpol, she suddenly was not afraid anymore. Instead, she raised her hand and pushed the gun that Ryan
’No wonder... No wonder…’Lana finally figured everything out!It was no wonder that every time she troubled Madeline, Yorick always scolded her. It turned out that the order had come from Ryan himself!Ryan liked Madeline, so he did not want her to trouble Madeline again and again!It could also be that her troubling Madeline would ruin Ryan's plan, so Ryan had asked Yorick to warn her again and again!"Heh! Hehe, hahaha..." Lana laughed wildly. "It turns out it was because of this!”She looked up abruptly at Ryan who was loading the bullets in the gun."Ryan, you’re way too good at hiding!”"You guys are the ones who are too stupid to see it." Ryan chuckled nonchalantly, lifting Lana’s chin with the gun. "Did you think that Adam was working for you? I mean, just look at yourself and your siblings. Did you really think that the Stygian Johnson Gang could have gotten to where they were without any help?”As she listened to Ryan's humiliating words, Lana gritted her teeth fie
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
