"Dad!" The little guy's clear and sweet voice broke the silence.

Madeline raised her eyes and looked outside the iron gates.

It really was Jeremy.

He wore a simple casual outfit and the off-white shirt added a touch of warmth as well as elegance to his cold but handsome appearance.

Jeremy seemed to be a little surprised when he saw Madeline, but he quickly put on a light and gentle smile before walking toward the mother and son.

Madeline's gaze fell on Jeremy's heart subconsciously.

She thought of the day when Jeremy had forcibly held her hand to his own heart, piercing it.

"Daddy." On his short legs, Jackson ran toward Jeremy.

Jeremy crouched down and spread his arms to greet the little guy. "Jack."

He held the warm and soft little boy, kissing Jack's cheek affectionately.

"You’ll be going to live somewhere else with your mom tomorrow. Listen to your mom, okay?" he whispered, his smiling eyes hiding his unspeakable struggle.
