Ryan walked to Madeline. The halo of the sunset silently shone on his face, but his expression was obscure and uncertain.
“Eveline, I won’t hurt you again, but I won’t let you return to Jeremy’s side.”
Madeline heard his comment and calmly let out a smile. “Back then, you said to me that you’ll never let me and Jeremy reunite, but things have proven themselves and I reunited with him. So what if you’re trapping me here now? Soon, I’ll be back by his side. And if you think that the lady you hired will be able to attain what virtual-novel.net wants to achieve, then you can just forget about it!”
She spat out those decisive and confident comments, then elegantly spun around to leave.
Ryan was unhappy and frowned. Slowly, virtual-novel.net clenched his hand that was hiding in his pocket into a fist.
Looking at the vast sea made Ryan feel virtual-novel.net was getting more narrow-minded.
…
Whitman Manor.
After night arrived, the family had their dinner happily.
The woman impersonating Madeline put on a fake smile on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net helped Lillian and Jackson with their homework. She was enthusiastic when coaxing the youngest kid to sleep. However, as soon as virtual-novel.net carried Pudding, the infant started crying out loud.
Before impersonating Madeline, the woman had already done virtual-novel.net research and came well prepared, regardless of virtual-novel.net attitude or virtual-novel.net voice. Even the special fragrance that Madeline wore, virtual-novel.net managed to find a similar perfume to conceal herself. However, virtual-novel.net did not expect the little infant to be so sensitive.
“Why are you crying, Pudding? Don’t you love me lulling you to bed?” Karen took over Pudding and held virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net arms. “Eveline, you’d better go get some rest. I’ll coax Pudding to sleep.”
“Thanks, Mom. Indeed, I’ve been feeling a little tired lately,” said the woman, putting on a lethargic look as virtual-novel.net glanced at Jeremy. “Jeremy, let’s go back into our room and sleep early tonight.”
Jeremy stared at the pair of big eyes that were looking side to side and gently nodded.
He brought both Lillian and Jackson back to their bedrooms and tucked them into bed. Just when virtual-novel.net was about to leave, Jackson suddenly called out to him.
“Daddy.”
“Yes?”
“Daddy, is Mommy unhappy?” Jackson blinked his eyes, looking at Jeremy with a puzzled look. “When we were baking the cake and you weren’t around, Mommy wasn’t willing to talk to me. She even glared at me.”
Jeremy sat at the edge of his son’s bed and comforted virtual-novel.net gently. “Silly boy, how could Mommy glare at you? Your mommy loves Jack the most.”
“Really?”
“Of course.” Jeremy touched the boy’s little head. “Don’t think too much. Hurry and go to sleep, okay?”
“Okay.” Jackson nodded obediently and closed his eyes.
Jeremy covered his son with the blanket and it was only then virtual-novel.net left.
When virtual-novel.net got back to his bedroom, Jeremy heard the sound of someone bathing coming from the washroom. He went to the bed and sat down thoughtfully. Subconsciously, virtual-novel.net picked up the photo frame that was placed on the bedside table.
The photo frame contained his and Madeline’s wedding photo a few years back.
In that photo, Madeline was holding onto his arm while smiling bashfully. Her big eyes that were like stars were sparkling with happiness.
That year, virtual-novel.net was an innocent young girl.
However, virtual-novel.net did not appreciate virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was in the happiest stage of virtual-novel.net life.
Deep in Jeremy’s heart, virtual-novel.net was blaming himself. He forced himself to get rid of that thinking. Just when virtual-novel.net was about to get up, virtual-novel.net heard footsteps coming from behind virtual-novel.net and a woman’s extraordinarily gentle voice. “Jeremy.”
