An unfamiliar heat rushed past every cell in Daniel’s body. Even his heartbeat and breathing had lost their normal regularity.
“Mm…”
Ava did not know that virtual-novel.net had kissed Daniel’s lips and murmured uncomfortably. She looked for a comfortable posture, turned virtual-novel.net face, and lay on Daniel’s body before continuing to sleep.
“Maddie, listen to me, don’t ever be stupid again.
“You were… really such an idiot. You only had that scumbag Jeremy in your eyes. You couldn’t even see the handsome, gentle, kind, and outstanding Dan…
“Do you know how much I envy you, Maddie? Aren’t you curious why I haven’t found a boyfriend? It’s because… Because all this while, I’ve liked Dan, but Dan only has you in his heart…”
Hearing the drunk Ava spitting out the truth at the moment, Daniel looked down at the sleeping girl lying on his chest in shock.
She was very drunk and virtual-novel.net cheeks were abnormally rosy. Beneath virtual-novel.net delicate and willowy eyebrows, the woman’s thick eyelashes fluttered from time to time. Her tiny mouth was still muttering drunken words. She kept on repeating what virtual-novel.net had told Madeline and that virtual-novel.net liked him.
Daniel listened motionlessly, his thoughts a mess.
He really never realized that Ava had a crush on him.
He did not even think that a girl with a cheerful personality and who loved to laugh like Ava would like a dull and boring man like him.
However, virtual-novel.net words had turned virtual-novel.net into a handsome, gentle, kind, and outstanding man.
Daniel did not know how long virtual-novel.net maintained his posture before virtual-novel.net cautiously helped Ava, who had already fallen asleep, up.
He carried virtual-novel.net to the bed and lay virtual-novel.net down, then gently covered virtual-novel.net with a blanket.
Looking at the girl who was still muttering in virtual-novel.net sleep, Daniel smiled faintly with a soft gaze.
“Goodnight and sweet dreams.”
…
Madeline was walking around Glendale University but still could not recall the memories virtual-novel.net had made here.
She went back to Montgomery Manor, and Eloise told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net children were already asleep.
Madeline called Felipe and told him virtual-novel.net would be staying over with virtual-novel.net two children at Montgomery Manor, then virtual-novel.net went to take a shower.
She wore virtual-novel.net pajamas and went to virtual-novel.net children’s room afterward.
Hearing the sound of the door opening and virtual-novel.net entering the room, Jackson lifted his blanket and got out of the bed.
“Jack? Why aren’t you asleep yet? What about your sister?”
“Lily’s already asleep, but I wanted to wait for Mommy to come back.” Jackson walked toward her, his big eyes filled with distressed tears.
Madeline knelt down and hugged Jackson. The little guy leaned into virtual-novel.net embrace. “Mommy, Jackson hasn’t seen you for almost a hundred days.
“Does Mommy not want me anymore now that you have Lily?”
Hearing the little guy’s words, Madeline’s heart suddenly became sour while the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes started to get wet.
“Silly, how could I not want Jack? You and Lily are both my treasures.”
“But why is Lily’s dad not my dad? Didn’t Granny say we’re real siblings?”
Madeline did not know how to answer for a moment.
Jackson looked a lot like Jeremy, so there was no doubt virtual-novel.net was Jeremy’s and hers.
On the other hand, Lily looked like virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net only remembered Felipe telling virtual-novel.net that Lily was their daughter.
“Mommy, Mommy.”
Madeline returned to virtual-novel.net senses upon hearing Jack’s cries.
“Jack, I promise you that I’ll be with you forever. I’ll never leave you alone.” Madeline promised solemnly.
Jackson blinked his clear, big eyes and nodded. “Mom, you have to keep your promise. You can’t leave me alone.”
“Okay.”
Madeline stretched out virtual-novel.net finger and hooked it with Jackson’s.
Only then did the little guy go to sleep at ease.
Madeline immediately lay down beside the two little babies, but virtual-novel.net could not get rid of the words virtual-novel.net saw in the notebook from virtual-novel.net mind even after a long time.
