All Chapters of The Love Triangle: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

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.

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

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...

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

"So, what's the plan for the missing fifteen million dollars?" Madeline questioned.Riley's complexion turned a shade paler. "More than fifteen million dollars? You think you deserve it? Three years and nothing to show for it, yet you dare bring up money?"Madeline responded with a crisp edge to her voice, "Why should I feel ashamed? Mom, you haven't produced anything for decades, but that hasn't stopped you from spending, has it?"Daniel nearly burst out laughing at the exchange. 'Mrs. Gibson is truly his absolute favorite!' he mused.Riley's face contorted with rage. "Are you out of your mind? How dare you talk back to me like that?!"Madeline cocked her head."Am I wrong? Isn't that your own logic, Mother dearest? Well, it's not quite right since you're off on the timing. I'm curious, how much did you spend each month before you had Trevon?" Madeline asked earnestly.Daniel chimed in, "Mrs. Gibson, that's not a fair comparison. The value of money was a hundredfold what it is
