This pained Madeline’s heart.
Of course, virtual-novel.net knew how much Eloise wanted to raise and take care of her, but because of some ill-intentioned individuals, Madeline, the daughter of a wealthy family who could have enjoyed glory and wealth, become a sacrificial piece for others. However, Madeline was not very regretful. Although virtual-novel.net had been unfortunately switched at birth, virtual-novel.net had met a kind-hearted grandpa.
Madeline picked up the bowl and utensils and tasted the breakfast Eloise made for her.
Eloise watched nervously, worried that virtual-novel.net had not done it well.
Seeing a satisfied smile that reached Madeline’s eyes, Eloise let out a sigh of relief. “How is it? Do you like it?”
Madeline smiled and nodded. “I like it. Of course, I like it. It tastes like a mother’s love.”
When virtual-novel.net heard that, Eloise’s heart, as well as the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes, grew warm. She could not stop herself from crying.
Madeline caught the change in Eloise’s mood and quickly reached out to hold Eloise’s hand. “What’s wrong, Mom?”
Eloise shook virtual-novel.net head and looked at Madeline with distressed-looking, teary eyes.
“It’s been so many years, and you’ve suffered so much since you were a kid, Eveline. I had never done much to help. On the contrary, I even made you angry and hurt you. I am not a good mother at all.”
Upon seeing Eloise evoking the past and recalling those unhappy memories, Madeline got up and comforted her.
“You’re a good mother. Even if you knew that Brittany was not your biological daughter, you still treated virtual-novel.net as your own. I believe that if I had grown up by your side, I would definitely be spoiled like a little princess.”
“Eveline…” Eloise felt even sadder when virtual-novel.net heard this. She raised virtual-novel.net hand and touched Madeline’s hair. Her eyes were filled with reluctance. “The rebuilding of our old home is almost done, and when it’s done, your dad and I be moving back. I’m so unwilling to part with you. I want to see my precious daughter every day in the future.”
“It’s not that difficult. Jeremy and I can go home for dinner every day.”
“Really?” Eloise’s eyes were filled with longing.
Madeline nodded affirmatively. “I will keep my promise so that I can enjoy your cooking.”
Hearing this, the sadness on Eloise’s face finally faded and was replaced by a relieved smile.
Madeline finished virtual-novel.net breakfast contentedly, and at the same time, virtual-novel.net received a call from Jeremy. The man reported in a gentle tone that virtual-novel.net had safely sent his son to school and that virtual-novel.net was now going to a meeting.
Madeline glanced at the time and, without idling, virtual-novel.net prepared to head over to ‘Whitman Corporation, planning to slowly get virtual-novel.net work back on track.
A few days later, Jeremy received news that Carter had taken Shirley back to St. Piaf. Jeremy asked someone to verify the source. Carter had indeed gone back.
Madeline was quite relieved, but virtual-novel.net instinct told virtual-novel.net that Carter would never stop there. Jeremy felt the same way, so virtual-novel.net still insisted on taking Jackson to and from school every day. Furthermore, Madeline was with Jeremy most of the time. Every day, they would send their son to school together, go to the company together, and deal with the company‘s affairs together. When school was over, they would pick up their son together.
