Madelyn soon slept after hanging up the phone and cleaning the photos on the wall. Zach, always out and about from dawn till dusk, did not return until well past midnight.

The car engine roared, and a blinding set of high beams flashed by. Downstairs, exhaustion filled Zach's eyes. He exited the car with his forehead rubbed and strolled to the third-floor master bedroom. The door latch clicked open.

Madelyn was sound asleep until she felt the bed sagging. That slight disturbance woke her up a bit.

Zach ditched his jacket and lay on the freshly changed sheets. He scooped Madelyn up, along with the blanket, into his arms. Smelling the flowery shower gel on her, it was like Zach had brushed away his mixed feelings.

With a sleepy look, Madelyn opened her eyes halfway. She spoke softly, "What's that smell on you? Go take a shower."

"Okay, I'll go in a while."

Madelyn was too tired. Before long, she dozed off again. Zach adjusted the shoulder straps of her nightgown, which had slipped

    Madelyn retorted, "No, you're overthinking. I just don't know what to draw."Margaret said, "Oh! Ms. Jent, I've been working for you for a long time. I can read you like a book. You're worried that Mr. Jardin is out there painting the town red, aren't you?"Snap!Madelyn suddenly exerted force in her hand, breaking the paintbrush in half, "Enough! Stop saying anything."Margaret was caught off guard when Madelyn, usually easygoing, suddenly blew up. However, she had seen through it ages ago as someone so experienced. No matter what happened in the past, any lingering resentment in Madelyn's heart would gradually dissolve with time. Though Margaret did not know what exactly happened to Madelyn, judging from her habits and subtle actions, she had long accepted Zach deep down.Though Dalton was not Zach and Madelyn's blood, anyone with a keen eye could see that Zach regarded him as his own, even though he gave Dalton the cold shoulder. On the other hand, despite Madelyn seeming kind

    While everyone was busy finding the lost ring, nobody noticed Zach walking in from the outside."Watch out. You'll get a cold if you lie on the ground," Zach said in a smooth voice. Then, with one hand, he scooped Madelyn up from the floor and plopped on the sofa.Madelyn sat on his lap and asked, "Why didn't I hear your footsteps when you walked?"Zach frowned when he saw her barefoot and covered her chilly feet with his hands, "What are you looking for?"Zach saw her hesitating, so he waved his hand and had all the servants leave. Madelyn lowered her gaze and said, "Sorry, I lost the ring you gave me.""Just for that small matter? It's okay if it's lost."That ring was worth over three billion. What could Madelyn use to compensate? She could not even bring herself to say the word 'compensate.' Most of what she had was courtesy of Zach. Even if she earned a few hundred thousand dollars, in Zach's eyes, she could not even afford one of his suit buttons. Madelyn was silent, unsure

    Seeing the weather outside was so good today, Cecilia's mood improved too, "How about we make a bet? Let's bet on whether the wedding the day after tomorrow can proceed smoothly.""Well..." Blake hesitated and asked, "Ms. Samford, why would you say that? Don't tell me you think Ma..."She did not fully say Madelyn's name and immediately changed her words, "Do you think Ms. Jent is planning to run away from her wedding the day after tomorrow? That can't be! Mr. Jardin and his wife have such a good relationship. How could she possibly run away? Besides, they've already got their marriage certificate. If she were to run away, it wouldn't make sense! They can't get divorced and are bound to be together for life."Cecilia put down the carrot ginger soup in her hand and said, "Did you forget how Mr. Jardin's former wife divorced him? The marriage certificate is just a piece of paper. If he speaks up, he can cancel everything. As long as he wishes, he can replace the position of his wife w

    Kevin picked up the cup of coffee nearby and took a sip. The bitter taste spread in his mouth. Without looking at Blake, he casually picked up a document and glanced at it, "Working for Cecilia for a while has made you savvier. Nice! You're getting smarter!"Blake almost lost it, "Who are you mocking? Listen, Kevin. Even though you're my immediate supervisor, I'm not afraid of you. I have someone backing me up.""Are you using others to intimidate me?" Kevin asked.Blake retorted, "We're both employees. Why do you have the right to look down on me? You exploit me like this every day. I'm a human being, not a beast. Being constantly exploited like this by you all the time, is there any point of living?"Kevin frowned, his tone turning cold, "Enough of your nonsense. Let's talk about work. I'm busy."Cough. Cough.Kevin coughed a few times with his fist clenched halfway. His voice became hoarse.Blake squinted, thinking, 'Is this guy catching a cold? Whatever. Why should I care? D

    Without beating around the bush, Blake said, "Madelyn..."After Blake reiterated everything, Madelyn remained silent.About half a minute later, Madelyn responded, "Blake, a lot is going on that you don't understand. If it really comes to that, find Mya. She's very safe with Fred by her side. Zach may be an extreme person. But if you ask Mya to ask Fred to protect you, he won't do anything to you."Blake replied, "So... Are you really going to leave?"Madelyn glanced back at the person still in the study before walking out of the room, "It's better if you don't understand what's going on. I'm afraid it'll get you in trouble."Just focus on doing your own things well."A few minutes passed. Zach came out of the room at some point and hugged Madelyn from behind, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"Blake heard Zach's voice over the phone and immediately hung up."It was Blake. We were discussing the wedding. I told her to handle it as she pleased. She then hung up as soon as sh

    The wedding day started with the makeup artist arriving early in the morning before dawn. All the photographers were in position too. Madelyn sat at the dressing table, allowing the makeup artist to put makeup on her for almost an hour.The makeup artist said, "Mrs. Jardin, if I may ask, how do you take care of your skin? It looks so good."Madelyn looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was smooth and flawless, and her lips were red. She wore a bridal crown and a veil. Each intricate pattern was embroidered with silver threads on her beautiful white wedding gown. Many present envied her.Madelyn's expectations and joy for her wedding were far from what she felt now—numbness. Zach's choice of wedding dress for her remained the same as in her past life.However, in her past life, Zach and Madelyn did not have a wedding ceremony. They only had a marriage certificate to prove that she was his wife.In her past life, she only wore a simple dress at their small engagement party. It w

    Madelyn lowered her head, and a tear fell onto the back of her hand. Her voice choked with emotion, "This painting probably took Prof. Monet a lot of effort."Kennedy responded, "He said many people in this world live for others. But this time, both Grandpa and I hope that you can live for yourself."Compared to being trapped in a marriage, you're more suited to enjoy freedom."If you want to leave..."Madelyn looked up, her eyes slightly dry, and shook her head, "Kennedy, I can't leave anymore."There was a long silence after that.Mya entered the room with snacks in her arms, "Madelyn, look at the delicious snacks I found for you."Looking at the snacks scattered on the bed, Madelyn thought, 'These were all my favorites once.'She asked, "Where did you find all this?"Mya pointed to the door, "In your painting room. There's a cabinet with lots of snacks inside."Madelyn pondered, 'Did Zach prepare these for me? Why have I never noticed them?'Margaret entered the room to c

    Blake whispered, "Whether you decide to leave or not, I just hope you'll be well."Madelyn responded, "Thank you."Blake thought, 'When that happens, I might really have to find Mya. It's better than waiting for my death in the company!'The bridesmaids blocked the door, and they received checks through the door gap. Zach did not prepare any white envelope with gift money inside. So, he wrote a few checks.On such a big day, he was very generous. Each check was written with amounts nearly reaching six figures.Although Blake loved money, for some reason, she could not even force a smile this time.Dalton hid in Madelyn's wedding gown, occasionally peeking out. Madelyn lowered her head to look at him through her veil.With a few baby teeth, he laughed happily, drooling. She wiped away the drool with a tissue. She found Dalton's eyes resembled hers when she was a kid.If it were not for the fact that she could not conceive or for Zach bringing Dalton back from outside of the orph

    Liam was standing in the rain, and though it hadn't been long, he was thoroughly drenched.Blake quickly pulled him close, her voice laced with concern. "Are you crazy? It's pouring rain! What if you catch a cold?"Liam's look was subdued, his face showing signs of fatigue. "I'm okay. This is for you; I didn't want you to have to come out in this weather."As Blake took in his forlorn appearance, her heart softened suddenly. 'Am I losing my mind?' she thought."Now you'll have to pay more attention to me, Blake... I was just so scared of losing you. I've put everything I have into getting you to agree to marry me; the idea of you walking away is unbearable."Overwhelmed with emotion, Blake locked eyes with him. "Did she teach you to say that too?" she asked, her hand moving on its own to brush away the raindrops from his hair.A maid nearby, observing the scene, rushed over with a blanket and an umbrella. However, Grace, fully grasping the gravity of the moment, halted her. Ackno

    Cecilia said, "It's fine. Let's give them a week. Rearrange the flight and all the plans for the trip. This is Blake's first time getting married and going abroad for honeymoon. I want to make sure she has a good time."Susan nodded. "Okay, Ms. Samford."Not long after Cecilia left, three editors who used to work for Olivia's company entered her office. All of them spoke in panic, "Ms. Blue, what should we do? Ms. Samford already knows everything. If the legal department finds out about it, will we go to jail?"Olivia remained calm as she said, "Don't panic. Just focus on your work.""But we got into this company through you. What if they say we got into this company through the back door and then fired us?"Olivia sat at her desk, supporting her forehead with her hands. She was obviously panicking. "Don't worry, I'll handle this."You guys can leave now."Olivia did not expect this matter to be exposed so soon. She wondered how Cecilia found out about it. 'Could it be that she'

    StartReading Literary was the last place Cecilia wanted to be. But she made an exception this time.Olivia had just finalized a cooperative copyright deal with another website company. Several editors from her own company were there at StartReading Literary. As she entered the office, she saw all the editors from StartReading Literary sitting upright, not daring to make a sound.She also saw her office door was wide open. She frowned as she walked into her office and was surprised to see an unexpected gust.Olivia put down the documents in her hand. "Ms. Samford, what brings you here?"With her legs crossed and Susan standing behind her, Cecilia stared at Olivia, who was in front of her.Cecilia sneered and stood up. She ran her fingers along the desk. "StartReading is actually the last place I want to be. I came here because I found out that you enjoy meddling in other people's affairs. Otherwise, you wouldn't even qualify to see me."Olivia instantly looked wary. She remained s

    Liam stood up. He watched as Blake, who looked weary, walked away. "Blake, what do you want me to do so you'll like me?"Blake did not stop walking. Instead, she took even bigger steps and left.She went to the Harper residence, which surprised everyone.Grace asked, "Blake? Why did you come back here? Where's Liam? Why didn't he come back with you?"Blake stuttered, unable to find the words. She just made up an excuse, saying, "It's nothing. I just wanted to come back."After Hannah and Yael left the wedding last night, they went back to the research institute.As for Simon, he went to the farm to manage the business.After Blake went to her room, Grace became worried. She followed her and saw her sitting with a blank expression in the room, not knowing what to do.When Blake saw Grace, she quickly adjusted her mood. "Grace, why are you here?""I came to check on you. Blake, what's wrong? Did you have a fight with Liam? You just had your wedding yesterday, and you're already

    The pregnancy test report came out fifteen minutes after Blake did the test. She was indeed pregnant. She was even seven weeks pregnant.Blake had indeed been involved with Kevin while in Northern Myanmar over a month ago.She held the medical report while standing bewildered in the cold hospital corridor. Lights shone through the floor-to-ceiling window onto her body, but all Blake felt was the cold, which made her hands and feet numb.She was lost in her thoughts. 'I'm really pregnant. What should I do with this baby? I want it to be born more than anyone else. But now, everything has changed. This child shouldn't come into this world.'She wandered in the corridor. Suddenly, she saw someone coming out of another gynecological room.She thought, 'Some things are just destined by fate. When I long to see him, even catching a glimpse of him in a dream feels like a luxury, an unattainable wish. But now, when I don't want to see him, it seems he appears everywhere I go.'Kevin supp

    Blake wondered, 'I'm now pregnant with Kevin's child. What should I do?'She woke up groggily when she felt someone carry her. She opened her heavy eyelids and asked, "What time is it now?"Liam responded, "It's four-thirty in the morning. It's still early; go back to sleep for a while more."Blake said in a hoarse voice, "I've made an appointment for an abortion at eight o'clock. Regardless of whether I'm really pregnant or not, I don't want to keep this child."She had thought about it all night and believed this was the best decision.Kevin was going to get engaged. Blake believed he would get married and Audrey would give birth to his children. There was simply no need for her to complicate things further.She thought, 'If I choose to be selfish and decide to keep this baby, and if people find out about it, my child will be treated as an illegitimate child. I don't even dare to imagine how badly the child will be treated.'If giving birth to the baby will bring it a lifetime

    Blake continued, "What about you, Liam? Do you mind?"If you do, you can choose to divorce me. After all, I've wronged you. No one wants to marry a woman who's carrying someone else's child."Liam stepped forward on the shattered cup and hugged her tightly. "I don't mind. Blake, I love you, including everything about you. I don't mind your past. I just want to start over with you. I didn't tell you about the pregnancy because I was selfish; I wanted to keep you by my side."Blake, your child is my child. I want to raise the baby with you."Don't leave me, okay?"Blake did not know why, but she was not surprised by her pregnancy. However, she felt that there were still some things that she could not let go of, though she was unsure what those were.She was not as calm as she had imagined.She thought about her past events. Then, she indifferently said, "Liam, I don't want this child. Since I'm prepared to be with you, I won't keep this child. It wouldn't be fair to you."Liam di

    On this romantic night, the moon was obscured by the clouds.Breathing heavily, Blake felt some pain in her abdomen. She asked to stop. "Liam, my stomach hurts. I think I'm going to have my period soon."Liam sobered up instantly. "I'll go get you some medicine."She peeked out from under the blanket as the bedside lamp turned on. She could clearly see Liam's naked upper body. Her face flushed as she averted her gaze. "It's fine. Just help me call the front desk and ask them to bring up a pack of sanitary pads. I'll go to the bathroom to deal with it."Liam replied, "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up."Blake picked up her clothes from the floor and went to the bathroom. "It's okay. It's probably just my period."However, judging by the blood flowing out, it did not seem like menstrual blood to Blake. It looked like something else.Blake's voice came from the bathroom again. "I think we should go to the hospital."She sat on the toilet and watched the tall, slende

    Blake had no bridesmaids, so she returned to the hotel room alone. As she stepped out of the elevator and was ready to use the room key card in her hand to swipe and enter the room, she suddenly saw a figure appear from the corner of her eye.She stopped her action and looked at the person who had left the wedding earlier.At that moment, Blake felt her breath catch, but it was only fleeting. She then quickly regained her composure and averted her gaze. She asked, "Didn't you leave? Why are you still here?"Kevin replied, "Congratulations."Upon hearing his congratulations, Blake felt a mix of amusement and discomfort. "There's nothing to congratulate. If anything, I should congratulate you. You're soon to be the mayor's son-in-law. In the future, we won't belong in the same social class anymore."I'm tired and came back to rest. You should leave now before Liam comes up and sees you here."Don't look for me again. I don't want him to misunderstand."Kevin responded, "Audrey and
