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
Ken hesitated. Then, he voiced his suspicion, saying, “Felipe’s company and business have been in Glendale this whole time, but for some reason, he left to go to F Country.“Felipe has been staying in F Country for the past three years and rarely left. According to sources, he met Vera on the plane and fell in love with her at first sight.”F Country.Jeremy remembered that Vera was also from F Country. However, from her appearance, she was obviously not a native of F Country.After he hung up the phone, Jeremy read through the information slowly.Nothing about Vera’s information was suspicious. However, he saw a date that he would never forget from Felipe’s file.That day three years ago, Madeline’s cold body had laid in his arms. She was no longer breathing nor did she have a pulse. She had left him forever.However, it was that day Felipe left Glendale to go to F Country.It was evident on Felipe’s entry and exit information.Madeline died that night and Felipe left Glendal
