Carter’s deep eyes narrowed, emitting a dangerous aura.
Shirley’s heart skipped a beat. Perhaps virtual-novel.net had already intended to die, virtual-novel.net was neither scared nor fearful.
“Carter, I will bear the consequences of the path I chose. Please stop interfering with my life.”
“You killed my child and you’re asking me not to interfere with your life? Shirley, I’m telling you right now that I’m going to show you how wrong your decision was.”
Carter spoke, his words held a deeper meaning, and virtual-novel.net slowly released his hand.
“Carter, what are you trying to do? I told you I won’t go back to St. Piaf with you. Stop pushing me,” Shirley thoroughly refused.
The corner of Carter’s lips curled into a knowing, sinister smile.
“You’ll know what I am going to do soon enough.”
“…”
Shirley moved virtual-novel.net lips, but virtual-novel.net did not know what else virtual-novel.net could say. However, virtual-novel.net saw an intense hatred blazing in Carter’s eyes.
Hatred?
Did virtual-novel.net hate virtual-novel.net for lying to him, for betraying him, or did virtual-novel.net hate virtual-novel.net for wanting to kill the longing and happiness virtual-novel.net had for the child from the start?
In the evening, Madeline drove alone to the place Adam used to live in.
Even though Shirley had said virtual-novel.net wanted to be alone, after an entire day had passed, Madeline felt that Shirley must be suffering because no one was around to take care of her.
How would a person who lost the ability to move virtual-novel.net legs, had a miscarriage, and had multiple bone fractures in virtual-novel.net body take care of themselves?
Madeline remembered the passcode to the door, and virtual-novel.net entered the house easily. However, when virtual-novel.net entered the house, virtual-novel.net felt that something was amiss. She ran upstairs to Shirley’s room, but before virtual-novel.net reached the entrance, virtual-novel.net saw the door wide open. She walked closer for a look, then realized that no one was inside.
Shirley was not in bed, and the bed virtual-novel.net et looked messy, suggesting signs of struggle.
The water bottle Madeline had placed on the nightstand before virtual-novel.net left in the morning was also on the floor. It was obvious that someone had come in and taken Shirley away by force.
Madeline immediately called Jeremy to inform virtual-novel.net of the situation.
Jeremy quickly asked someone to check the security footage around Adam’s house, and Jeremy quickly obtained it.
“Carter was the one who took Shirley away,” Jeremy told Madeline what happened. “He probably took virtual-novel.net back to Gray Villa. Linnie, don’t go alone. Come home first.”
Jeremy was worried that Madeline would go there alone, so virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net to come home.
Of course, Madeline would not act recklessly, so virtual-novel.net went home according to Jeremy’s suggestion.
At this moment, Jackson had come back from school. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline, virtual-novel.net spread his little arms and ran to her, “Mommy.”
Madeline bent down and picked the cute boy up. “Jack, did you miss me?”
“Yes, I miss Mommy,” Jackson admitted instantly. “I feel so uneasy because I can’ t see Daddy, Mommy, and Lily.”
Jackson voiced his concerns.
Madeline immediately blamed herself, feeling remorseful.
How old was Jackson? Had virtual-novel.net not been giving virtual-novel.net enough sense of security?
