The little guy turned around as he probably heard the sound of footsteps approaching. His cute and blank face was facing Madeline now. His bright and clear eyes were like glazed tiles as they blinked and stared at Madeline.

The spark of hatred in Madeline's heart seemed to be extinguished in an instant. Then, it was replaced by unspeakable love and kindness.

Tears stung the corner of her eyes and she suddenly had an urge to cry.

‘If my baby’s still here, she would be as cute as him too.’

After all, Jeremy was so outstanding. His offspring who inherited his genes would surely be as good-looking.

Madeline bent over and stroked his delicate, cute face. “What's your name, honey?”

The little guy blinked and said adorably, “My mommy and daddy call me Jack.”

‘Mommy and daddy’.

Those words hurt Madeline.

Her baby should have her mommy and daddy as well, but now...

“Maddie, what are you trying to do again? You can do anything to me but please don't hurt my and Jeremy’s son!”
