JASMINE’S POVStunned. Is the perfect word to describe what I feel after hearing what Madison just said. I stared at Madison. She’s staring at her tummy with such longing and tired eyes. Her face is emotionless but the corners of her mouth are twitching. I could also see tears forming into her eyes.Oh, Madison.I can’t even imagine the pain she’s going through.It’s the first question she's ever asked ever since we heard the news. It might be the first time she ever talked. I heard from Bennedix that Gavin looks more awful than the last time I saw him. He also told me that Gavin said that Madison refuses to eat or talk to anyone.She finally talked…Yet I don’t know how to answer.

Then after that, I went to bed and stared at my ceiling, waiting for me to just pass out.But it didn’t happen so I tried closing my eyes. Luckily, I fell asleep for a bit. Aside from having a nap and staring at the ceiling, I didn’t do much. I even forgot to eat dinner. I don’t have to worry about my company since I left it to Bennedix’s hands.Either way, it’s either my company will crumble or it will be eaten by the other stockholder if I leave my position vacant for too long. That’s why I let Bennedix handle it since Uncle is still managing their company.After some more minutes of stari

Not thinking about anything else and just resting.Madison already experienced a lot. A whole lot more than anyone else. She deserves a peaceful sleep.Holding her hand, I raised it and felt it on my cheeks. My wife is really pretty, even our baby is as pretty as her. I fear that she might break down when I show her the picture of our baby…Haaa. I sighed as I rested my cheeks in her hand. Ugh fuck.I groaned when my phone suddenly rang. I carefully put her hand back and stood up as I picked up my phone inside my pocket and walk outside, closing the door behind me.“Hello?
