He did not have any official matters to attend to, but he did have this indescribable feeling of unease being alone with Madeline at this moment.‘Linnie, could it be that I’m beginning to no longer be faithful to you?‘No.’Jeremy quickly denied it.He could not possibly waver in his emotions for Madeline. ‘It’s just that, why on earth do I suddenly feel repulsed?’Jeremy could not understand it and only chalked it up to him possibly being too exhausted, leading to his current state of mind.…Madeline spent a few days on a small unknown island.In these few days, Ryan would make an appearance during the day and then leave at night. According to him, it seemed that he still had to return to Glendale Prison at night. He had bought his freedom but was still not completely free.He would also eventually not be able to appear openly in front of everyone.That night, however, while Madeline was still asleep, she faintly felt someone approaching her.She opened her eyes insti
Madeline looked at Ryan’s hand that was outstretched toward her and looked away indifferently.She looked toward the landmark building in the direction of Glendale, missing in her heart her home and the people she cared about the most.Seeing that Madeline was ignoring him, Ryan stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist."What do you think you’re doing?""Even if you don't want to, you still have to do it at least once.""..."Just as Madeline was about to struggle, Ryan had already forcibly pulled her and moved to the other side of the island.The night sea breeze carried with it layers upon layers of coolness while the waves crashing against the coast sounded."Ryan, let me go,” Madeline ordered firmly.Ryan pretended not to have heard her. He pulled Madeline as he walked straight forward and only after a while did he stop.Madeline took the opportunity to break free from his hand. Just as she was about to turn around and walk away, she heard Ryan open his mouth to say,
Madeline was too lazy to explain anymore, so she left after saying that.However, after she took a few steps forward, Ryan suddenly grabbed her.Madeline was annoyed. When she was desperately trying to get away, she did not expect Ryan to grab her by the waist and pick her up bridal style.“Don’t be scared. I won’t do anything to you.” Ryan comforted her. He was worried that Madeline would do something extreme while resisting him.He carried Madeline to the bed in the bedroom. When he saw her trying to get up, he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back down.“Eveline, I don’t want to hurt you again. As long as you sleep quietly, I won’t do anything to you.” Ryan had a serious look on his face as he stared into Madeline’s sharp and obstinate eyes. “I just hope the woman I love can accompany me obediently for one night. We don’t have to do anything. I just want you by my side.”“Ryan, you’re still so selfish,” Madeline mocked but had already stopped resisting.After experiencing
Hearing this, Madeline found it ridiculous and was emotionally exhausted.“How many times are you going to play such tricks? Do you think you’ll be happy if you get me to reluctantly accompany you?” she asked. She had a feeling that this man seemed to be obsessed with this.Sure enough, Ryan's answer was within Madeline's expectation.He looked at her, his gaze under the moonlight very stubborn and firm.“Yes, I’ll tell myself that I’m very happy. I don’t have much time, so this will be the last dream and luxury of my life.”Judging from what Ryan said, he was insisting on being stubborn.‘So, the only way out is to play this game with him?’Madeline pondered for a moment and realized she had no other choice."Ryan, you have to keep your promise. If I win, you’ll let me go back.”“You won't.” Ryan smiled.Madeline's attitude was more confident than his when she saw that he had his card up his sleeve. “Then tell me, what kind of game is it?”“It's too late now. Let’s just go
“I think it’s more likely that you made Mommy mad.”“...” Jeremy felt nervous all of a sudden when he heard that.“Daddy, did you forget about any special days and didn’t give Mommy a present?”Special days?After his son’s reminder, Jeremy did remember something.‘However, is Linnie someone who’ll change her attitude toward me and my children because I forgot about a special day?”Jeremy was curious but he felt that it made sense. ‘Women are still cute even when they throw tantrums sometimes.’When Jeremy thought about this, he felt much better.After he sent the children to kindergarten, Jeremy was about to go buy a present for their anniversary.However, the moment Jeremy left the entrance of the kindergarten, a tall figure started wandering around the entrance.The man did not try to go in. He just stood outside the fence as he watched one of the classrooms in the kindergarten silently.It was finally recess and he watched as Lillian’s tiny figure walked out from her c
Jackson took out a piece of candy from his pocket and threw it at the iron gates. Then, he blinked his innocent eyes that were full of life and walked to the guard’s office. He called out in a crisp voice.“Sir!” He called out, his soft voice filled with childish playfulness.A middle-aged man walked out of the office and asked him in a friendly manner, “What’s wrong, buddy?”“Sir, the candy my sister gave me has fallen outside.” Jackson blinked his clear eyes and pointed his adorable finger to the iron gates. Then, he looked at Lillian who was walking slowly toward him. “If I lose the candy, my sister will be sad. I don’t want her to be sad. Can you help me take it back, sir?”The guard had no idea that this was Jackson’s scheme.Naturally, he did not suspect a thing from such an innocent and naive child. As such, he comforted Jackson. “I’ll help you get back the candy. Your sister won’t be mad at you.”“Thank you, sir.” Jackson thanked lovably.He watched as the guard walked o
“Buddy, don’t get fooled. Bad people nowadays look a lot like good people. You and your sister are still young, so don’t believe strangers so easily.”The guard educated and lectured them seriously. Then, he turned around with Lillian in his arms. Before that, he reminded Jackson.“Buddy, come back with me now. It’s almost time for class.”Jackson did not want the guard to worry about him, so he nodded in agreement. He walked quickly toward Fabian and lifted his handsome face.“Here, I’m giving this back to you. My sister doesn’t want it.” Jackson reached out his hand to hand it over.Fabian looked at the box that had been returned and smiled in disappointment as well as frustration before taking it back.He turned around to look at Lillian who was resisting him and even wanted to run away from him. Then, he tightened his grip around the box as a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.“Lily, this might be the last time I see you.“I don’t have the good fortune to wait for you to
Madeline looked at Ryan’s back that was facing her and turned around decisively. Then, she looked at the endless sea in front of him.‘Ryan, you’re definitely going to lose this game.’Ryan knew Madeline was going to hide now. He looked at the ticking time on his watch. He only turned around after the last second of the ten minutes passed.There was only one house on the island and the structure of the house was simple. He did not think that he would not be able to find Madeline in under half an hour.However, as time passed, not only could he not find Madeline in the house, but he also looked all over the yacht near the beach and still could not find any traces of Madeline at all.It was as if she had evaporated from this island and he could not find any traces of her.How was this possible?Everything on this island could be seen at one glance. It was a small house with no special hiding places. Where could Madeline be?Ryan felt that this was unfathomable and there was a loo
