The Love Triangle Chapter 77
His response was met with a pillow to the face.Madeline, livid, hurled it straight at him. The blow actually hurt Trevon, who quickly snatched the pillow away and seized Madeline's hand, pinning her to the bed. "Madeline, I'm warning you, stop pushing my buttons!"In doing so, he yanked away the blanket, leaving her completely bare.Madeline was a mix of rage, frustration, and shame, and she broke down crying."Trevon, you're a creep! A jerk! A total loser! Why don't you just drop dead!" She sobbed uncontrollably, her words laced with venom.Trevon felt like his head was about to explode with frustration, unable to focus on Madeline's seductive presence. "Enough," he snapped.Madeline's glare could have cut glass, her tears still falling steadily. His anger dissipated, replaced by a softer tone, "I didn't mean to. How was I to know you'd change without shutting the door?"I've seen it all. It's not like I can gouge my eyes out for you. Or maybe I should strip too, let you have
The Love Triangle Chapter 78
The next morning, Madeline and Trevon opened their doors at the exact same moment, as if drawn by an unseen force. The instant Madeline laid eyes on him, she let out a derisive snort and averted her gaze.Trevon's jaw tightened with annoyance. She could really get under his skin.There was Madeline, sipping her water, when Trevon approached, his expression icy. "You were home all day and couldn't even clean up a bit? This place is a disaster. And make sure you wash the clothes I left out."Madeline, barely out of bed and already in a sour mood, responded with a sharp "hmph" and slammed her water glass down on the table. "Mr. Gibson, I'm not your maid."Trevon shot back, "You're the one who said you didn't need a maid, that you could handle it."She had said that, had she not? Madeline wished she could go back in time and give herself a good slap. "Regardless, I'm done with it now!""You!"Without another word, Madeline slammed the door shut, leaving Trevon to stew. He could grin

Madeline gave a nod. "I'll see if my senior, Caleb, has a moment."Yeneth teased, "Look at you, casually hitting up your senior. I like it."Madeline shot her a look. "Cut the snark. He was a huge help while I was in the hospital. Without him, everyone would've known about the baby. I owe him thanks.""Don't give me that. You can't tell me you're clueless about how he feels." Yaneth said.That was the unspoken crush that had not wavered since their college days.Madeline paused, her voice softening. "You know my deal. No money, a sick mom to care for. If Madam Gibson hadn't pushed for it, using the excuse of chasing away bad luck, I'd never have made it into the Gibson family."Three years on, nothing's better. Now I'm a divorced mom with a kid in tow. Think I stand a chance with the Jabs family, another high-society clan?""Who knows, maybe the Jabs are different from the Gibsons. Plus, you're a senior..."Madeline quickly covered her mouth. "All these fancy families, scratch

So, her heartfelt plea was all about getting those papers.Madeline could not help but smile at the irony. "With all your charm, Ms. Sanders, why don't you ask grandma yourself? You're so devoted to Mr. Gibson, and with grandma's soft spot for her grandson, she's bound to say yes."Lydia's fists were balled up tight as she spat out, "So, Madeline, you're really not going to do us this solid? How can you be so wrapped up in yourself? Your selfishness is screwing all three of us over!"The whole table was stunned into silence by her outburst."Ugh, I'm about to hurl my dinner." Yeneth could not take it anymore and blurted out, "Will you let us eat in peace!"Caleb signaled for the waiter. "Could we get a quiet booth, please?"The waiter, looking sorry, quickly bowed and went to set it up. Trevon dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand. "Forget it." Lydia opened her mouth to argue, but Trevon's frosty stare stopped her abruptly. She was seething inside. She was always the one f

The news was a ray of hope for Madeline, but the looming concern was the cost. Don't stress about the money. You can pay me back whenever you're able to."Madeline winced inwardly, thirty thousand dollars for the medicine was way beyond her means."However, there's something I'd like to ask you," Caleb said, changing the subject."My mentor is really interested in your mom's condition and wants to examine it closely. The hospital records I've seen are only recent. Is there any chance you could dig up her older medical records?"Madeline paused, recalling the stack of papers tucked away in Bella's belongings."I'll get them sorted out and to you today," she promised.Caleb nodded, his gratitude evident.Madeline softly shook her head. "The thanks should really come from me. I don't know who your mentor is, but they must be something special. Having such an amazing doctor look after my mom's condition is a true gift."She blushed slightly. "You've done so much for me, and I feel

Madeline paused, at a loss for words, and could only offer a smile.Edith caught the awkwardness of her previous comment and quickly corrected herself, addressing Yanick, "You better stick around this time. Your mom's lined up a bunch of dates for you. Time to meet some ladies and settle down."Yanick's skin crawled at the thought, but he leaned in with a cheeky smile, "Not a fan of those girls. I think Madeline's pretty great."His eyes flicked over Madeline as he spoke.Madeline tensed up. What kind of nonsense was he spouting? Before she could gather her thoughts, Yanick went on, "Grandma even had the tarot cards read to find me the right one."So that's what he was getting at? Madeline let out a relieved breath.Edith chuckled. "You're okay with that? Then I might just find the perfect day to trek up the mountain and see what the tarot cards say."Yanick leaped to his feet. "After seeing the Northern Lights, Grandma claims she's old but now she's more spry than ever, ready t

Madeline shook her head with conviction. "How could I ever resent you, Grandma? You were there for me when I felt so alone. Without you, my mom and I would be lost. She wouldn't have the care she needs, Sanders wouldn't cover her medical bills, and I wouldn't have the life I have now."She would not have spent those three years close to Trevon. Even though she was upset with Trevon, she never thought he owed her anything. It was just hard to accept his favoritism."After three years, Trevon and I never grew close, his heart was always with Lydia. I've accepted that, and moved on. That's why I'm asking you, Grandma, to give us your blessing, for Trevon and me."Edith's hand shook ever so slightly. "Are you sure this is what you want?"Madeline gave a nod, her smile a blend of warmth and determination. She was set on getting a divorce. Edith felt a sharp twinge in her heart as she noticed that, her eyes misting over. "Madeline..."She was such a wonderful person, Edith hated to see

With a casual authority in his voice, Trevon replaced the juice with a cup of warm water, a thoughtful gesture that was all too uncommon.Madeline eyed the warm water in her hands and let out a soft laugh. Why not indulge him that once? She took a sip of the bland water, giving him that much.Madeline pulled out her ID and handed it over to Trevon with deliberate slowness. "Grandma's already given me the papers. It's time we get divorced."Trevon froze, caught off guard. She had cleaned up the house and even fixed him a glass of juice. He had thought maybe she was softening up, ready to back down. Their marriage was beyond saving, but Madeline had been there for him for three years. He did not want their last moments to be a bitter battle.It was a relief that Madeline seemed to be the one conceding. He could use that as a chance to bow out gracefully, to treat her well before they parted ways. However, then, Madeline brought out her ID again, mentioning divorce. What was she getti
