Madeline could forget a lot of things in her life. She could forget the best moments of her life and the beautiful feeling she had when she was deeply in love with Jeremy, but she could never be unfamiliar with this thing in front of her for the rest of her life.Dazed, she slowly reached out her hand to pick up the object that had fallen to the ground before placing it in her palm.Looking at it, it was as if she could suddenly hear the sound of waves as well as the smell and the salty taste of the sea breeze. Even a boy's gentle promise sounded in her ears, "Linnie, when I grow up, I’ll make you my bride..."Yet, this promise was blown away by the breeze and ended up sinking to the bottom of the sea in the end. Things could never go back to that time again in this life..."Linnie..."Madeline stopped indulging in her walk down memory lane and looked toward Jeremy who was muttering.He was still calling for Linnie.However, the Linnie he was calling for was not her but Meredith—the vi
Madeline had already turned around carefreely when Meredith steadied herself. Upon seeing the other woman’s back, Meredith became livid!She pointed at Madeline’s back furiously as her wrath poured out from her mouth. “Vera Quinn, you b*tch! I’ll let you see what I can do! Just you wait!”Meredith roared with all of her might. When she recalled what she saw through the window just now, her lungs felt like they were going to explode from anger.No!She had to recompose herself.Meredith reminded herself that Madeline was not her opponent. After all, how could a woman who looked exactly like that woman win against her?“Vera Quinn, I’ll let you see what I can do soon enough!”Meredith narrowed her sinister-looking eyes as if they were covered with a layer of venom.…Madeline waited for Felipe at the junction of the street. Then, he took her home.It was in the dark of the night and Madeline was standing in front of the french window looking at the night view outside. The color
Madeline saw Jeremy hesitating for a while. In those two to three seconds, she did not know what he was thinking about. However, after a while, he looked at her with a complicated look in his eyes before rushing over to Meredith.He knelt and pulled the seemingly unconscious Meredith into his arms.“Mer, Mer, wake up.”He patted Meredith’s cheek lightly with worry in his eyes.Madeline held the breakfast in her hands as she stood at the entrance. When she saw what was happening in front of her, she smirked sarcastically.‘Jeremy, you never disappoint me.‘You’re still so concerned about that woman.‘Despite all those horrible things she did, she’s still the love of your life?’At this moment, Meredith opened her eyes slowly in Jeremy’s arms. They were brimmed with tears as she looked at him pitifully.“Jeremy, I was wrong. I know my mistakes. Please don’t leave me, okay?” Meredith said weakly as tears started falling from her eyes.“Jeremy, did you forget? You promised that y
Since the fish had caught the bait, it was a matter of time before she reeled it in.Sunday.Madeline and Felipe had promised Lillian that they would take her to the amusement park.Even though Lillian was not Felipe’s biological daughter, he still pampered her a lot.He took good care of Madeline when she was pregnant until she gave birth. After Lillian was born, Felipe was even more considerate and caring than before.Felipe was a perfect man that was one in a million.However, Madeline knew that she was not worthy of him. She never thought about having any sort of romantic relationship with him.“Daddy, I want that bunny.” Lillian’s sweet voice pulled Madeline’s wandering thoughts back to reality.She saw Lillian with her arms around Felipe’s neck. Her legs were swinging happily as she nuzzled against Felipe sweetly. Her cute finger was pointing at a rabbit-shaped balloon in the distance.“Please, Daddy?”Felipe looked at Lillian with love in his eyes. “Of course, I’ll gra
When she smelled this familiar scent behind her, Madeline immediately knew who was the person holding her.However, why was Jeremy here?Had he brought Jackson here as well?Was that child here too?Madeline started thinking about Jackson all of a sudden. Then, she steadied herself and escaped from Jeremy’s arms.“It’s that nice mister!”Lillian called out toward Jeremy as a happy grin appeared on her pinkish face. It seemed that Lillian was pretty fond of Jeremy.There was a slight smile on Jermy’s handsome face. He looked at Lillian, then shifted his gaze to Madeline.“I guess I made the right decision to come out today.” He had some overtones in his sentence. “Why didn’t you answer my calls?”Madeline lifted her head and faked a smile. “I’m sorry, Mr. Whitman. I’ve been busy spending time with Felipe and my daughter. I don’t have time to answer any meaningless calls.”“Meaningless calls?” Jeremy lifted his eyebrow. When he saw Madeline turning around to leave with Lillian,
“You’ve known him for three years but she’s already two?” Jeremy frowned. He looked closely at Madeline. “It means that you started dating him after you got to know each other.”“Felipe and I fell in love at first sight. I knew immediately that I wanted to be with him and give him children. Is there a problem?” Madeline replied straightforwardly without hesitating one bit.Jeremy’s heart sank, but those disappeared suspicions rose within him once again.“Jeremy!”Suddenly, Meredith’s shrieks penetrated their eardrums.Madeline lifted her head to look over and she saw Meredith running over frantically. When their eyes met, there was obvious detest and anger in Meredith’s eyes.Meredith looked pretty spirited today compared to that day in the rain when she looked ever so weak.She ran over to Jeremy and grabbed his hand that was on Madeline’s. She peered at it before looking at Jeremy with worry in her eyes. “Jeremy, Jack is missing!”Jackson was missing?Madeline’s heart skippe
At that moment, Madeline recalled something. She turned around quickly and ran toward a place.The sky was already dark and the street lights were turned on. The empty amusement park had lost its liveliness from the morning. At this moment, there were only sounds of rustling trees.“Jeremy, what should we do now? Jack must’ve been abducted!” At this moment, Meredith was leaning against Jeremy with fear and worry on her face.“Jeremy, I can’t lose Jack! He’s our only child!”She emphasized ‘only child’ and did not notice Jeremy’s expression sinking when she mentioned that.When he was about to say something, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes.“You should go back first. I have something to take care of,” Jeremy said to make Meredith leave before immediately walking away after that.“Jeremy! Jeremy!” Meredith called out to him, but he continued walking without even turning back.Meanwhile, Madeline went to several secluded locations based on her intuitions. Fina
Madeline turned around as she said, “Also, I suggest that you take Jackson to the doctor. I’ll be leaving now.”“He’s not my only son.”?Jeremy’s strange explanation sounded from behind her. He had also said this in the afternoon.Madeline stopped walking, and she could feel Jeremy approaching her from behind.“I have another daughter.”“...”Madeline felt her heart skip a beat as a flash of loss could be seen in her eyes.Did he become suspicious after what she said in the afternoon? Perhaps he found out about something during this short period of time?However, when Madeline’s mind started to wander, she heard Jeremy’s voice in her ears. “It was with my ex-wife.”“...”She widened her eyes slightly in shock, feeling a bone-piercing pain in her heart.“Really?” she asked. She smiled as she turned around to look into the man’s eyes. “Where’s the child now?”Jeremy stared deep into Madeline’s eyes. There was an unpredictable smile on his lips. “She’s dead.”“...”“She wa
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
