Not long after entering the bidding venue and sitting down, Madeline saw Jeremy coming in with Yvette.Madeline still thought that the woman looked familiar, but perhaps it was only because she had a typical influencer look that made her seem so.She did not want Jeremy and Yvette to sit behind them. Jeremy was one seat away from the back of Madeline. When she looked to the side, she would be able to catch a glimpse of his delicate and handsome face.Felipe also noticed Jeremy sitting behind them, so he deliberately reached out to hold Madeline's hand as he approached her cheek more intimately and whispered into her ear."Ms. Montgomery and her husband have a very good relationship," Yvette said with admiration when she sat next to Jeremy. "Jeremy, should we switch seats? Since you used to like Ms. Montgomery a lot, will it be uncomfortable for you to have her in your line of sight?”"Of course not. My uncle and my aunt have such a good relationship, so I’m also happy for them. Wh
Madeline was uncomfortable when she felt Jeremy approach her. When he was near, he said, "I heard that Uncle Felipe originally wanted to use this piece of land to build a resort for Mrs. Whitman? Really sorry about that. I want to use this piece of land to build a castle for my most beloved woman too."He looked at Madeline on purpose even though she was not looking at him."I hope that one day, my beloved woman can live in that castle and be a carefree princess. I’m willing to unconditionally protect her, guard her, and be her knight for life."After he said that, Yvette approached Jeremy and said sweetly, "Jeremy, you’re so kind to me."Madeline turned her face away as she was torn with grief. She smiled at Felipe as she held back her heartache. "I'm hungry, Felipe. Can we get something to eat?”"Okay." Felipe smiled and stood up, looking at Jeremy with a calm expression. "It seems that I’ve underestimated my nephew's ability. When Whitman Corporation had the handover, it seems
"Grandpa, tell me what I should do.”She furrowed her eyebrows with annoyance when her phone suddenly vibrated.A stranger had sent her a friend request via her phone number.Madeline took a look at the profile. The information showed that it was a girl and she had remarked: [I’m heartbroken and simply entered a number. I just want to talk to a stranger.]Madeline felt very tired and was not in the mood to comfort the brokenhearted person. Soon after, she fell asleep.Early the next morning, Madeline's stomach began to turn as soon as she got up. She ran into the bathroom and tried to vomit, but nothing came out.When she recalled being pregnant with Jackson, she had the same symptoms.When she was pregnant with Lilian, she was completely emotionless and there were not many uncomfortable symptoms.She touched her belly and remembered the night with Jeremy three months ago.At that time, he had said softly in her ear, “Linnie, let’s have another baby.”That was why they did no
His sudden voice startled Madeline and made her heart skip a beat. Her hand shook as the ball of paper that was supposed to be thrown into the trash can fell to the ground.She hurriedly reached for it, but Jeremy got to it faster.He stooped closer, and his delicate profile lightly brushed across her cheek.Their breaths intertwined for a moment.Jeremy picked up the ball of paper and was about to throw it away when he saw how weird Madeline was acting. When Madeline saw that Jeremy was about to open the ball of paper, she quickly reached out to grab it but was a second too slow.When Jeremy saw the contents of the examination report, his eyes darkened sharply. His delicate and handsome face instantly turned cold. Madeline noticed the change in Jeremy's facial expression, so she reached out again, grabbed the examination report, and stuffed it into the trash can.She was upset. She did not know if Jeremy understood the contents of the report. When she contemplated whether
She frowned and hurried away.After getting into the car, Madeline felt her abdomen and thought about the look in Jeremy's eyes.‘Was it anger, jealousy, or heartache?’Madeline could not tell.What Madeline did not want Felipe to know, he soon learned from his men.He seemed very happy. "Eveline, are you really pregnant with my baby?"Madeline did not deny it. If she denied it, she was afraid that Felipe would use any method he could to get rid of the child.She did not want to talk to Felipe about the child, so she changed the subject. "Tomorrow’s my grandfather's death anniversary. I'm going to the cemetery to pay him a visit.”Felipe immediately agreed to it. "Since the bidding for that piece of land has failed, I have something to deal with. I’ll get someone to send you there tomorrow." He smiled softly. "Eveline, this is our first child. Don't worry, even after we have this child, I’ll still treat Lilian as my own daughter.""If you really treat Lilian as your daughter,
Madeline watched the man walking toward her and her heart started racing.She was pregnant and was worried that Jeremy would behave irrationally, so she took a step back out of vigilance.When Jeremy saw Madeline's evasive behavior, he curled the corner of his lips and said sarcastically, "Mrs. Whitman, are you worried that I’ll do something to you? Are you afraid that I’ll hurt Felipe's child?""..."She was indeed worried that the child inside of her would get hurt, even though the child was Jeremy’s.Madeline swallowed the secret down and said indifferently, "You’re right. The child inside of me is very important to me. So, Mr. Whitman, please act appropriately.”As soon as she said that, Madeline saw Jeremy's eyes sink as they instantly looked colder."Since you’re so worried, take this umbrella so that you won't catch a cold."As he said that, he handed the umbrella in his palm to Madeline and took something out of his pocket.Madeline looked intently at it. Amidst the dr
The numbing pain her heart spread throughout her body again, and Madeline looked up to force her tears back.She could not cry again.She had to be strong for the child....After Madeline visited Len’s grave, she was sent to Felipe's villa.Felipe was in a video conference in the study when he learned that Madeline was back. When he found out, he ended the conference early.When he saw that Madeline's jacket was a little damp from the rain, he was a little concerned. "Didn’t you use the umbrella? Why have you gotten yourself all wet?”"It was just a tiny drizzle. It won't hurt me." She was cold and walked past Felipe as she went upstairs.Felipe had gotten used to Madeline's attitude. "You’re pregnant now. Getting wet in the rain will make you sick.”‘Getting wet in the rain.’Madeline looked down at the umbrella in her hand.Jeremy had given the umbrella to her in the cemetery not long ago, but his residual warmth on the umbrella handle had long dissipated."I assume you
Yvette looked into Felipe's eyes and smiled brightly. "Is this how you strike up a conversation with a girl? I don't think we’ve ever met each other because I’ve never been to Glendale before becoming Jeremy's girlfriend.”As she said, she moved closer to Jeremy's arm more intimately.Jeremy smiled and gently took Yvette's hand. The two of them looked very warm and sweet.Madeline turned around because she did not want to see the two of them getting lovey-dovey.Felipe glanced past Yvette and propped up the umbrella as he walked in with Madeline.When Karen heard footsteps, she thought that it was Jeremy bringing his girlfriend back, but when she looked up, she saw Madeline and Felipe walking side by side.The smile on her face disappeared in an instant. "Tsk, a rare visitor."Karen continued to mock, saying, "One is the uncle who wants to destroy Jeremy while the other is the fake ex-wife who wants to take her revenge on Jeremy! Pfft! Come on, tell me what the two of you are he
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
