Upon hearing Madeline's answer, Fabian felt like he was dreaming.How was that possible?Jeremy and Madeline were not opposed to it?Upon seeing the dazed Fabian, disbelief on his face, Shirley, as a bystander, also spoke up.“Actually, even an outsider like me can see clearly that you really care about Lily, Mr. Johnson. With you taking care of her, I think any parent would be at ease.”Upon hearing Shirley's words, Fabian felt a little embarrassed.“You should continue chatting, I'll head back to the room first. I have to work out an antidote as soon as possible so that the rashes on Lily's body disappear soon.”Shirley said and turned the wheelchair.Madeline glanced at Jeremy before following Shirley, “I'll take you back to the room.”Shirley wanted to refuse, but she figured that maybe Madeline had something to tell her, so she did not refuse.After returning to the room, Shirley went straight to the desk.Madeline saw the data that Shirley had studied in the past few d
“Ryan was still the highest administrative commander in Interpol at the time. So, Ryan used his position to help the Stygian Johnson Gang launder money, and he profited from it. Carter had always known about this, and he was also involved.“Ryan was actually a very smart and excellent person. Carter was also very happy to work with him, and the cooperation had always been very pleasant, but then, Ryan slowly began to act differently, and the reason was you.”Shirley raised her head as she said that. Her eyes locked on Madeline tightly.Madeline frowned in confusion. “Because of me?”“Yes, because Ryan fell in love with you.”Shirley explained and sighed.“It's really hard for a person who’s blinded by love to think rationally. Speaking of which, Ryan and I are really similar. In the end, we both embarked on the path of self-destruction.”Shirley chuckled and sighed, but she quickly emphasized again.“Ryan's death has nothing to do with you. I think Carter figured that Ryan's pr
Madeline and Jeremy followed Fabian to the door of Lillian's room. Before they walked in, the couple heard Fabian's gentle and coaxing voice coming from the room.“What's wrong, Lily? You can’t sleep?”Fabian asked very gently, and Madeline and Jeremy saw their baby princess nodding slightly.Fabian was very patient, and he took a storybook from the shelf on the side. “Well then, Lily, be a good girl and close your eyes. I will tell you a story.”Lillian liked Fabian’s suggestion.The little girl obediently nodded her head and closed her eyes.Fabian then sat down on the side of the bed and softly read from the storybook and patiently…As they watched this scene, Madeline and Jeremy felt warmth in their hearts.They did not continue to peek, and the two turned back to the guest room.After returning to the bedroom, Madeline lay down on the bed tiredly. She had been exhausted for the past few days, but now, she was finally relieved.The entanglement with Carter could finally c
“You probably have something to say to me, right?” Fabian asked directly.Jeremy smiled faintly. “Let’s talk downstairs.”As he spoke, he turned around and Fabian followed him afterward.It was already very late, so Fabian asked the servant to make black tea and some snacks, leaving him and Jeremy in the living room.Fabian knew that Jeremy had something to say to him, but Jeremy had been drinking tea at the moment, and he did not seem to want to speak. Eventually, Fabian could not stand it anymore.“Jeremy, you don't actually want Lily to stay with me, right?”Jeremy took a sip of the black tea leisurely and then put down the teacup unhurriedly. His sharp but gentle gaze fell on Fabian's face lightly.“Are you saying that you can't take care of Lily well?” Jeremy asked rhetorically.Fabian was taken aback. He hurriedly explained, “Jeremy, you know I didn't mean that.”“What are you trying to say then?”“I…” Fabian was stunned.“Fabian, I have a question. How did you and Car
Fabian seemed to suddenly become very impulsive because he was trying to show Jeremy his determination and stance.Jeremy could see Fabian's fervent anticipation, but he had not expected Fabian to use his past with Madeline as an example.In retrospect, he and Madeline had only met once back then, but they never forgot each other.However…Jeremy looked at Fabian thoughtfully, “But Lily is still an ignorant kid, and you are not.”“So, now, I will only take care of Lily with peace of mind. As long as she doesn't hate me, I will always be by her side.”Fabian made a solemn promise, and the look in his eyes was firm.“Jeremy, I, like you, also hope that Lily will grow up happily and healthily. So, I will not go beyond what I should do, let alone cause any trouble to Lily.”After listening to Fabian's sincere words, Jeremy smiled knowingly.“Lily still doesn't understand anything. Since she doesn't understand anything, her feelings are the most intuitive. She can feel it if you tr
Karen criticized Madeline and Jeremy.“This is the result of you two going abroad for so long.”As they listened to Karen's complaint, Madeline raised her eyes and smiled at Jeremy.They did not say what had happened in F Country so they would not worry their family again. Finally, Madeline smiled and explained kindly.“Mom, don't worry, Lily is fine now, and I can guarantee that that person will take care of Lily more carefully than any of us.”Karen glanced at Madeline suspiciously and complained, “I don't know if you’re lying to me or not.”“Of course, we’re not lying,” Jeremy promised and then took Madeline's hand. “Mom, Linnie and I are a bit tired after running around for the past few days, so we’ll head back to the room to rest.”“Go ahead,” Karen said, seemingly impatient as she dismissed them, and then she remembered something. “By the way, I received a courier two days ago and it’s for you, Jeremy.”Karen said, turned around, and went to take it for Jeremy.Jeremy to
It was a document, so Jeremy thought it was from his company or something, but after opening it, he found that it was not a document, nor was it anything of the sort.There was an envelope inside. Jeremy looked at it suspiciously for a while before opening the envelope.However, when he opened it, his eyes sank when he saw the contents inside.There was nothing in it except for a photo of Madeline. In this photo, Madeline was standing downstairs in Whitman Corporation. She seemed to be waiting for someone with a slight smile on her face.This was a very normal photo, but Jeremy felt uncomfortable looking at it.It was because there was a big cross on Madeline’s face in the photo.To avoid letting Madeline find out, Jeremy quickly put the photo away and pretended to walk aside to make a call as if nothing happened.He called Ken, and after the call had connected, he told Ken the tracking number of the courier and asked Ken to check the source of it.After Jeremy was done giving
“Pudding, who am I?”Jeremy knelt and asked the little guy. The little guy blinked his innocent and pure big eyes and looked at Jeremy seriously. “Daddy!”The little guy called out the word “Daddy” accurately.Jeremy's heart seemed to melt in an instant. As he looked at his soft and cute son, he felt sad again.He was too embarrassed to recall the scene where Madeline gave birth to a Pudding.He never felt that he was a qualified father.He had never fulfilled his responsibilities as the father of his three children.“Pudding knows how to say ‘Mommy’ and ‘Daddy’ so soon. He's so much smarter than Jack. Jack only knew how to say ‘Mommy’ after a long time,” Karen joked and laughed.Jackson pouted proudly. “Because that evil woman isn’t my mother, so I didn’t want to call her my mommy.”Jackson's explanation made Karen silent for a while, at the same time, she felt a little embarrassed too.In the beginning, Jackson had been bullied by Meredith. Moreover, as her mother-in-law, K
