Madeline said this so that Lillian could face the issue of Jeremy being virtual-novel.net birth father squarely.
Of course, if virtual-novel.net was able to make Lillian talk, then it would be amazing.
“Lily, do you understand what I’m saying?” Madeline asked patiently.
Lillian blinked virtual-novel.net huge eyes as if virtual-novel.net understood. Then, virtual-novel.net kicked virtual-novel.net short legs and walked back to the living room.
She looked at Jeremy, virtual-novel.net bright eyes reflecting Jeremy’s figure.
“Lily, the handsome mister is your real daddy,” Madeline repeated once more.
She did not know if Lillian could understand her, but at least virtual-novel.net saw a twinkle in the little girl’s eyes.
Perhaps to make Lillian talk again and heal virtual-novel.net trauma, virtual-novel.net might need to do more than just counseling.
After the children went back to their rooms, so did Madeline and Jeremy.
Jeremy went into the bathroom to shower while Madeline went to prepare for the divorce procedure.
At this moment, Ryan called her.
Madeline answered without hesitation. “Rye, is there something wrong?”
On the other end of the phone, Ryan said in a gentle tone, “I went back to my parents’ place for my documents and they were mad after they found out we’re getting a divorce. They might call you, but it’s okay if you choose not to answer.”
After virtual-novel.net heard that, Madeline felt apologetic. “I’m sorry, Rye. You’re such an exceptional person, but now you’ll have the label of a divorcee because of me.”
Ryan replied calmly, “Actually, I’m happy that I was able to have this fake marriage with you.”
From his words, virtual-novel.net could sense his fondness and admiration for her.
Madeline stayed silent for a few minutes before saying, “Rye, I appreciate you so much. You’ll meet someone better than me…”
Before Madeline could finish, virtual-novel.net felt a wet hand holding virtual-novel.net chin all of a sudden.
She was then forced to turn virtual-novel.net head. In the next moment, virtual-novel.net felt Jeremy’s lips pressing down on hers.
“Mhm…”
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net face heating up because virtual-novel.net was still on the call.
She wanted to hang up the call, but Jeremy grabbed virtual-novel.net hand and pressed virtual-novel.net against the wall.
The phone fell to the floor with a muffled thud. Madeline looked at the screen of virtual-novel.net phone and noticed that the call was still ongoing. She felt virtual-novel.net ears heating up, so virtual-novel.net turned virtual-novel.net face away to avoid him.
“Jeremy, wait…”
Jeremy held virtual-novel.net chin in place and looked into Madeline’s flustered eyes with his intense gaze.
“Look at me.”
“…”
“Don’t think about other men right now.” Jeremy kissed Madeline’s eyebrow. “Eveline Montgomery, I’m your man.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net picked Madeline up.
Then, virtual-novel.net peered at the phone that had fallen to the floor. The lit screen showed that the call had not ended.
Ryan heard Jeremy’s last words, and after a while, virtual-novel.net hung up.
He did not want to be tormented like this. At the same time, virtual-novel.net did not want to hear the sounds of the woman virtual-novel.net liked being intimate with another man.
Madeline was carried to the bed, and virtual-novel.net emotions were being led by Jeremy completely. However, virtual-novel.net last ounce of reason made virtual-novel.net push virtual-novel.net away.
“Jeremy, I’m still on the call and haven’t prepared the divorce papers for tomorrow. Can you please wait?”
Madeline got up to pick up the phone, only to realize that Ryan had already hung up.
Her face became hotter as virtual-novel.net did not know what Ryan had heard, so virtual-novel.net felt extremely awkward at this moment.
When Jeremy saw Madeline looking absent-mindedly at virtual-novel.net phone, Jeremy’s eyes became colder.
“Is his phone call more important than me?”
Madeline was stunned when virtual-novel.net heard that. She turned around and saw that Jeremy had already laid down. He had his back turned against her.
After pondering, virtual-novel.net quickly finished virtual-novel.net preparations for tomorrow. Then, virtual-novel.net went back to the man’s side and held virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net arms.
