When Madeline heard voices, virtual-novel.net turned around slowly. Eloise and Sean were looking at virtual-novel.net with smiles on their faces.
Despite their smiles, they still could not hide the emotions and uneasiness in their eyes.
It had already come to this, so Madeline did not want to beat around the bush anymore.
“I’m guessing that you already know about it, right?” Madeline asked calmly.
Sean and Eloise were stumped for words. They looked at Madeline in shock after virtual-novel.net asked that question.
After a few moments of silence, Eloise said cautiously, “Miss Vera—”
“Miss Vera,” Madeline repeated this name, interrupting Eloise with a smile. “Shouldn’t you be calling me Eveline Montgomery now?”
“…”
“…”
Eloise and Sean’s breaths hitched when they heard that.
They stared blankly at the cute smiling face in front of them. At that moment, tears started pouring out from their eyes.
“Eveline!”
Eloise was crying heavily as virtual-novel.net ran over to Madeline emotionally. Her remorseful and apologetic eyes were filled with love and benevolence, enveloping Madeline warmly.
After a while, Eloise reached out a trembling finger and placed it on Madeline’s face gently.
She caressed Madeline’s flawless face gladly as virtual-novel.net felt the warm touch on virtual-novel.net fingertips. Eloise bit virtual-novel.net lip and held virtual-novel.net daughter while feeling distressed.
“My child! My baby daughter!” Eloise called out uncontrollably while holding Madeline tightly.
“Eveline, I’ve finally found you. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry!”
She was crying as virtual-novel.net apologized, virtual-novel.net voice sounding extremely shaky.
Sean’s eyes were red as virtual-novel.net walked toward Madeline. He said with a sob, “Child, I’m sorry too. I’m so sorry.”
He apologized sincerely with a sorry gaze.
Sean lifted his hand, and after hesitating for a few seconds, virtual-novel.net placed it on top of Madeline’s head before caressing virtual-novel.net lovingly.
Madeline was motionless and unperturbed while virtual-novel.net was showered by Eloise and Sean’s apology and love. There was no emotion on virtual-novel.net face, and it was only virtual-novel.net eyelashes that fluttered.
She did not fight them nor did virtual-novel.net welcome their hugs. She merely allowed Eloise to hold virtual-novel.net and Sean to caress virtual-novel.net hair motionlessly. She allowed them to express the love and remorse they felt for Eveline Montgomery that had piled up after so many years.
After a while, Eloise finally released Madeline from virtual-novel.net embrace reluctantly after Madeline’s phone started ringing.
She quickly wiped away virtual-novel.net tears, virtual-novel.net eyes focused on Madeline’s face.
Madeline looked at the caller ID and switched virtual-novel.net phone into silent mode.
Eloise then ordered the maids, “Brew some black tea of the highest quality and fetch us some snacks.”
“Yes, Madam.” The maid quickly carried out virtual-novel.net orders.
“Eveline, sit down. Let me take a good look at you.” Eloise approached virtual-novel.net with tears in virtual-novel.net eyes, reaching out virtual-novel.net hand to hold Madeline’s. She wanted to pull Madeline to the sofa. However, before virtual-novel.net could warm up virtual-novel.net daughter’s hands, Madeline pulled away.
Eloise was stunned as virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline with a disappointed gaze. “Eveline…”
“I’m leaving soon. Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, you don’t have to entertain me so courteously.”
