The Love Triangle Chapter 182
Madeline could not hide her disbelief. "You're asking me to come back just to put ointment on you?""Have you not done it yet?" Trevon shot back.Madeline mused internally, 'He's too stubborn to accept help from a nurse, but what about Lydia?'Madeline sneered, lIs your precious Lydia so delicate that she can't even handle applying a bit of ointment without getting tired?"Trevon's stare deepened. "Why do you always get so worked up at the mention of Lydia?"Madeline shot him a frosty look and kept silent.Caleb chuckled. "Madeline is usually so calm. It takes a special kind of person to get under her skin like that. Maybe you should be asking Lydia what she's done to tick Madeline off so much."Trevon's voice was icy. "Stay out of this, Caleb. This is between Madeline and I."Caleb met his gaze. "Madeline and I go way back. Her problems are my problems."Their eyes locked, each man unyielding in the quiet standoff.Madeline had enough. She dropped her spoon with a clatter.

"I'll have Lydia get an abortion—"Trevon's words were cut short by the guard's sudden, sharp braking.Madeline lurched forward, crashing into the seat ahead with a jarring thud.Trevon's quick reflexes saved the day, his hand shooting out to protect her. However, even with his swift action, Madeline was left reeling, her head spinning from the close call."Are you okay?" Trevon blurted out, concerned about lacing his voice."Who taught them to drive?"The guard was quick to apologize. "Mr. Gibson, my apologies."It was not on purpose. A kid had bolted into the road out of nowhere, and the guard had no choice but to hit the brakes hard.Thankfully, the car was up to the task and came to a halt just in time.The child was unharmed, but the scare had set off a torrent of tears.A young mom was there, doing her best to calm her little one.Since her pregnancy, Madeline had a soft spot for kids, and the sight of that one crying tugged at her heartstrings, drawing her gaze again
The Love Triangle Chapter 184
Lydia's eyes sparkled with determination. "Now that we're having a baby, you can leave Madeline and marry me. That would solve everything! Yes! Exactly!"A shadow passed over Trevon's eyes.In theory, yes, but he could not divorce Madeline.He did not even want to.The one thing he was sure of was that he did not want a divorce.He regained his composure and replied, "Child or no child, it doesn't change the fact that we've split up. Thinking of the company and the Gibson family, I'd prefer it if you terminated the pregnancy. You can name your terms."Madeline's face crossed his mind, along with the way she looked at children with such tenderness, not annoyance, but genuine concern when they cried.He added, "However, if you're set on having this baby, I'll provide child support. That's all I can offer. I'll spell it out in my will."His tone was calm, but his resolve was clear. That was his last offer.Lydia realized Trevon had made his decision, and it was final.She had no

Lydia's eyes sparkled with realization. How could she have forgotten Riley?Riley's longing for a grandson was well-known.In the world of the elite, that was hardly a scandal. Spoiling grandkids was what they lived for.With a baby on the way, even a disapproving Riley would not just stand by and let her end the pregnancy.With a strategy in mind, Lydia felt a wave of relief wash over her, and at last, she drifted off to sleep.The only one left tossing and turning was Madeline.The following morning, Madeline rose from the cot, dark circles betraying her restless night.The doctor had checked Trevon's wounds and announced, "He's healing nicely. He's ready to go home."After a lengthy list of do's and don'ts, Madeline made sure to get a written copy before sorting out Trevon's discharge.All the while, she did not exchange a single word with Trevon.Trevon, feeling the tension, could not help but ask, "What's wrong? Why are you giving me the silent treatment?"Madeline scof
The Love Triangle Chapter 186
Riley's eyes widened in shock.What did she just hear? A baby?Was Lydia pregnant with Trevon's baby?Wait, ending? Ending the pregnancy?Over her dead body!Riley strode over quickly, seizing Lydia's arm. "Are you pregnant?"Lydia, looking like a deer caught in headlights, tried to back away from Riley."Out with it!"Lydia shot Trevon a timid look before murmuring, "Yes. I'm pregnant with Trevon's baby."Riley paused, a flicker of shock crossing her face, quickly replaced by sheer elation. "For real? That's amazing!"She had been fretting over the possibility that Trevon might never give her a grandchild. However, life had a funny way of surprising her—Lydia was expecting!Dropping her usual coolness, Riley warmly grasped Lydia's hands. "How far along are you? Have you seen a doctor?" Don't bother with those other places; they're not up to par. Go straight to the Sunshine Medical Center. I've got a VIP card there. It's yours to use."Lydia squirmed. "Mrs. Table; please...
The Love Triangle Chapter 187
Madeline was silent during the car ride to the company, the sting of Riley's impulsive words still fresh.For three years, she had done her best as a daughter-in-law. However, when Lydia's pregnancy came to light, Riley did not hesitate to push for Trevon to divorce her.It seemed a daughter-in-law was just an outsider, easily exchanged.Trevon cut off that line of thinking immediately."Mom, what nonsense are you spouting?! The incident just happened. If I divorce Madeline now, wouldn't it turn the Gibson family into a joke? The shareholders would be up in arms!"His refusal was firm, but his motives were all for the Gibson Group.Their relationship had thawed in recent days, and Madeline sensed Trevon's reluctance to part ways. She was torn about whether to push for the divorce.However, when Trevon mentioned the Gibson Group could not afford a divorce, she snapped back to reality.Madeline could not bear a lifetime with a man who did not love her.It was too bitter a pill,
The Love Triangle Chapter 188
It took a moment for the weight of Tracy's words to sink in.Bernadette was 16 and savvy. Having been raised by the Lewis family, innocence was not her thing anymore.Understanding that Jazzy was Alden's adopted daughter brought a lot of things into focus, including the air of despair that seemed to cling to Jazzy from the start.She felt foolish for ever thinking Jazzy was just naturally gloomy."With dad... with that man in jail, what's going to happen to Jazzy?" Bernadette asked with concerned.Tracy's heart warmed at the question. Her daughter had not picked up any of the Quigg family's less admirable traits, after all."Alden's in jail, so the adoption's not valid anymore. I'm thinking of adopting her myself. Are you okay with that?" Tracy proposed.Bernadette nodded, her response firm and immediate.Later, when they shared the news with Jazzy, she was utterly taken aback.They were not upset with her. Instead, they wanted to make her part of their family.Jazzy felt a s

Trevon's mood soured instantly at the sight of the pair.Lydia sat quietly next to Riley and whispered, "Trevon."Riley beamed, "Today's a day for triple celebrations, and we've got to mark the occasion. If you're not up for a home-cooked meal, I've booked us a table at Luxuria Supper House."Triple celebrations? What was there to celebrate?Trevon let out a derisive laugh, "Embezzlement and sham fundraisers in the company. What's there to celebrate about such things?"Riley's smile did not waver. "You're too blunt, son. Is the scam what matters? No, it's about putting the second wife in her place. Plus, I want to give Lydia a treat."Trevon felt a headache brewing. Not even the ruthless business world gave him such trouble.He loosened his tie and dismissed them with a frosty command. "The company's swamped, so you should head out."He turned to Lydia and added, "I meant what I said. Think about it."Lydia's complexion paled, and she looked away, unable to meet Trevon's gaze.
