When Yvonne saw that scene, she finally realized that it was easy to know whether or not Zach loved someone; it depended on the extent of tolerance he showed to them.Even though Yvonne and Zach had already registered their marriage, she always felt anxious about losing him.Growing up, she always got everything... She was unwilling to allow anyone to take what belonged to her."Madelyn, what's wrong? Why are you so angry? What happened? Tell me," Yvonne said as she walked toward Madelyn. Only then was Madelyn able to break free from Zach's grip.When Madelyn left the apartment, she did not have time to change her clothes. She was wearing a nightgown with a scarf wrapped around her. It was past fall, and the weather outside was still a little cold.Madelyn and Yvonne appeared harmonious. They did not go against each other, nor did they treat each other as enemies. However, Madelyn was well aware that all of this was just superficial.Zach's skin was thick, but his face still had
A servant knocked on the room's door, "Ma'am, there's a gentleman downstairs looking for you."Frida responded, "Okay, ask him to wait for me in the study."The servant said, "Okay."Frida stood up and said to Yvonne, "I've said everything that needed to be said. Take some time to think it through. I'm going to discuss some other matters now."After Frida entered the study, a middle-aged man who looked fierce and menacing placed something wrapped in a black cloth on the table, "This is what you wanted."Frida walked over to unwrap it; it was a square-shaped urn. When she opened the lid, there were ashes inside, along with an intact bone. She asked, "Are you sure this is him?"The man said, "If you don't believe me, I have a video. We retrieved it not long ago, and I brought him here after the cremation."Frida smiled coldly, "What about that bitch?"The man replied, "After her funeral, Owen scattered her ashes into the sea, and he committed suicide there."Frida remained quiet
Madelyn said, "What are you doing? Put me down."Zach responded, "This is a compensation for the slap."He then put her on the bed before pressing against and kissing her. Madelyn pushed him away forcefully, "Take a shower. You haven't showered... You smell."In less than half a minute, Zach's breathing became erratic. He panted in her ear as he said in a low, hoarse voice, "We'll shower after we're done."Madelyn responded, "No!"Zach kissed her lips and said, "You said no, but your body says otherwise."He stretched his hand from under her dress and lifted it. He then started the act. Madelyn felt a sense of pleasure and let out a soft moan.The new bed which was just bought less than a month ago started creaking.It was still early when they returned from the hospital.Zach quickly washed her body. The shower gel in his hand slipped to her lower abdomen. Zach stared at it for a few seconds. Suddenly, he felt a subtle emotion in his chest...He carried Madelyn out from the
When Zach woke up and did not see Madelyn, he guessed that she had gone to the hospital. And with bodyguards by her side, he was not worried that she would run away. So, he returned to the company because he had work to do.He entered the company and walked into the CEO's office. He saw Cecilia, whom he had not seen in a long time, sitting in his chair."You don't hide anything now. In the past, you'd never openly display Madelyn's photos on your desk." Cecilia observed. She had recently cut her long, wavy hair, and now it rested just above her shoulders.There were two tough decisions in a woman's life. The first was deciding to let go of a man they loved. And the other was cutting off the long hair she had for over ten years.Zach did not seem surprised by Cecilia's presence. He raised his hand to check the time, "Three minutes, tell me your decision."Cecilia took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer. She then lit one up and leaned back in the chair. The smoke covered her f
Madelyn responded, "Okay, thank you."Madelyn was a little sad when she looked at the child with tubes inserted into his body. He was all red.A nurse placed the child on the bed. But after a short while, the baby woke up and cried loudly with his eyes closed.The nurse panicked for a moment. The child had an IV on his head. But now that he was crying, the blood began to flow backward.The nurse looked at Madelyn, "Miss, the baby might be hungry. Do you have a breast pump? You can pump some breast milk into a cup and feed the baby."Madelyn was overwhelmed, "I'm sorry, I'm not the baby's mother. But I do have infant formula."The nurse responded, "The baby is very weak. I'd recommend breastfeeding if possible. If not, you can prepare some formula now."Madelyn replied, "Okay, I'll go do that now."Madelyn hurriedly grabbed some formula and a bottle. A few minutes later, she took the milk bottle and walked over to the nurse, "Is this okay?"The nurse checked the milk bottle's t
Madelyn noticed no matter where she went, the baby would just keep staring at her. And when she did not pay attention to him, he would laugh to get her attention.A nurse came to do a checkup on the baby. His current condition was stable without any problems.Madelyn hand-washed those newly bought clothes before using a dryer so the child could wear them when he got better.She then checked the time and realized it was already almost eleven o'clock at night. She dried her hands before walking over to look at the child. He was already asleep.There was a companion bed in the ward. Madelyn left a lamp switched on before sleeping beside the child.Past two in the morning, the ward's door was pushed open. Zach felt for the switch on the wall. But when he saw Madelyn was sleeping, he did not turn on the light. Instead, he walked toward her with the help of the dim light.When he noticed the baby next to her, he merely glanced at him before looking away.Madelyn was sleeping very soun
Madelyn was hesitant and indecisive when faced with decisions. She was completely different from Zach.Zach responded, "No one is better suited than us to raise this child. Since we've brought him home, he'll always be our child if you want to."Madelyn did not understand why Zach was doing this. She thought, 'Is it merely because I casually mentioned that I wanted a child?'However, what she truly desired was a child who truly belonged to her, not just any random abandoned baby.She did not want to continue arguing with him. So, she said, "Up to you! When he gets better, register him with the relevant authorities and then give him a name."Zach nodded, "Okay. I'll have Kevin prepare the necessary documents next month.""Okay," Madelyn casually agreed.Soon, they had nothing to talk about and just stopped chatting.In the late, quiet night, influenced by alcohol and under just the right circumstances, Madelyn noticed Zach's gaze gradually turning unusual. She got up and wanted
Madelyn asked, "Did you hear what I said?"Zach casually glanced at her, "No need."Madelyn responded, "What do you mean by 'no need'? I have no experience in raising a child. If something happens, we won't be able to handle it."Zach sat and looked at her, "I believe you'll do well. You can always learn from books if there's anything you don't know."Madelyn was displeased, "I don't have the time to take care of a child."Zach suddenly raised his hand to stroke Madelyn's long hair as if he were rewarding her, "You wanted to live an ordinary life, right? So, why not consider this our family? With me around, no one will dare say anything. You can do whatever you want. And this child will always be with us... Our first child."Madelyn looked at Zach as if he were insane, "Is this another one of your games?"You can fool yourself, but I can't. And I don't want to play this kind of game with you. Don't forget, you're already married. We aren't allowed to do this."If you want a chi
