Even though the ceremony was against her heart’s wishes, she was glad to at least have Jackson as her flower boy. Amidst the attendees, she found that Eloise and Sean had come to give their blessings as well. In a way, it could be said that she had gotten her parent’s approval. Meanwhile, Mrs. Whitman only seemed irked about the situation. One of Mrs. Whitman’s friends, who was also a rich man’s wife, came over to congratulate her. “What a great daughter-in-law this is, Mrs. Whitman. She’s rich, good at her job, and beautiful. You’ve got to be satisfied this time, right?” “So what if she’s rich? It’s not like the Whitman family is broke! You can find beautiful girls all over the world. Her appearance is only average!” Mrs. Whitman rolled her eyes disdainfully at Madeline who was drinking with the other guests. After turning around, she found Eloise and Sean and immediately went over to talk to them. “Mr. and Mrs. Whitman, I couldn’t believe Meredith was a fake when I hear

Madeline’s pink lips pursed as she indifferently took in the happy features of the man sleeping before her.‘I thought you said you were suffering from insomnia the past three years? ‘But you look well-rested this morning.‘Hmph. Have you ever felt guilty or uneasy about my death, Jeremy? ‘No, you’ve never.’ Madeline immediately washed up and changed after sparing a last glance at the man’s face. Walking out of the room, she was met with Jackson walking out of his as well. “Morning, Jack.’ She smiled and walked over. “Is it time for school already? Would you like Big Sis Vera to make you breakfast?” Jackson blinked and nodded innocently as he looked up at Madeline. “Yes, please.” Madeline’s emotions lightened immensely at the little boy’s adorable features. While a maid had already prepared breakfast, Madeline made another. It was a more simple and nutritional one for Jackson.Seated at the dining table, Jackson merely stared at the heart-shaped sunny-side up witho

Sean looked at Madeline in confusion. “Why did you send my wife to the hospital, Miss Quinn?” “That’s because…” Madeline was just about to explain herself when sobs suddenly rang out from inside the room. Sean’s expression changed and he immediately turned around to enter. Taking a deep breath, Madeline entered the room as well like nothing was wrong. Eloise had indeed woken and she was currently crying her eyes out. Sean approached her worriedly. “What’s wrong, Ellie? What’s got you so sad?” Only then did Eloise seem to realize Sean’s presence. She looked up at him with eyes reddened from all the crying. There was irreparable and incurable pain in her sad gaze.“Why must the Heavens punish us like this, Sean? Why…” Her voice trembled as tears fell like pearls from her eyes.Confused, Sean felt his heart grow frantic. “What are you saying, Ellie? Don’t cry. Shh, relax. Talk to me.” Eloise gave a self-deprecating chuckle amidst her tears and looked up to meet Sea

When you looked out from one side of the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, you would see a thick riverbank. The other side allowed those in the office to oversee every inch of the city below. It was a great place for an office, and most certainly not somewhere any Tom, Dick, or Harry could own should they wish. She had once been stripped away of the right to visit this place.He was her husband, and while she was never allowed into his office, he would let another woman come and go as she wished. Madeline’s lips quirked at the thought as she quietly took out the food she had bought. She would never wear an apron and cook for him again, for whatever willingness to give she once had no longer existed. Jeremy was obviously in a great mood as he ate away happily without suspecting if Madeline had indeed made the dishes or not. Rays of the mid-autumn afternoon sun scattered over the man’s black button-up shirt, casting a gentle light over his deep gaze. After lunch, Madelin

Madeline smiled and was about to say something when the phone rang.She looked at the screen and saw that it was from Felipe.She answered the phone naturally and hung up after a few brief sentences."Jeremy, something has come up at my shop. I have to go back now.""I’ll see you off.""No, we’ll see each other tonight,” Madeline said as she turned around. As she was about to leave, Jeremy stretched out his hand to hold her. When Madeline looked back doubtfully, Jeremy lowered his head and kissed her lips."A goodbye kiss.""..."Madeline accepted with a smile despite her rejection.After seeing her turn around and leave, the smile on the corners of his lips gradually disappeared while the sharpness in his eyes faded away, leaving only a touch of regret.When Eloise said that Madeline was actually her biological daughter just now, the assumption had given the most perfect answer to the entangled questions in Jeremy's heart."Linnie..."The name was gently uttered from betwe
