Chapter 2136
“I'll take you home, but not now,” Madeline said and looked at Jeremy. Then, she said, “Go to the room with me and rest for a while.”Hannah seemed to want to say something, but when she saw that Madeline had turned around, she hurriedly followed her.“What a lunatic!” Karen gazed at Hannah's back.After she saw that Hannah had followed Madeline upstairs, Karen looked back and asked Jeremy with a calm expression on her face.“Jeremy, what the hell are you two doing?”Jeremy walked to the living room with a slight smile. He carried his son who was sitting on the sofa into his arms to play with him for a while, then he finally said, “We’re putting on an act but it’s not only me and Eveline who are acting.”Karen understood what Jeremy meant. “You mean that woman is also acting?”“Uh-huh.” Jeremy smiled. He gently pinched the little boy’s cheek with his fingers. “She keeps clinging to us and pestering us. I’m sure she still wants to harm Linnie, but she’s just looking for opportuni
Chapter 2137
When she remembered Hannah's hesitant and stunned expression when she told her that she was going to stay at home just now, Madeline was sure she was acting.Madeline knew her purpose.“Linnie, have you ever heard of this story?” Jeremy asked suddenly.Madeline looked into the man's eyes curiously. “What story?”“It's the story of a frog carrying a scorpion to cross a river.”When Jeremy said that, Madeline understood immediately.She knew the story, and she knew what Jeremy wanted to express to her.“Linnie, some people are just like that. It’s hard for them to change. Like a scorpion, she can't restrain the evil in her heart.” Jeremy looked as if he was educating a child as he spoke earnestly.He did not forget to pick up his youngest son and tap his little nose with his fingers.“Pudding, did you hear what I said? Let's be good people. We must not have the intention to harm others, but we must always be guarded against others. Don't be so trusting of others like your mommy.
Chapter 2138
There was no response after she knocked on the door a few times, so Madeline did not hesitate to push the door open directly.After entering, she saw Hannah still lying on the bed as if she was still asleep.Madeline walked to the bed warily. “Hannah.”She called out but Hannah did not react. She seemed to still be sound asleep.Madeline did want to continue calling out to Hannah but when she was just about to turn around, Hannah suddenly reached out. “Sis, don't go.”Just when Madeline was about to dodge from her, Hannah screamed.“Sis.” Hannah opened her eyes slowly and smiled at Madeline. “I’ve been waiting for you.”Madeline also responded with a thought-provoking smile. “You were waiting for me?”“Yeah.” Hannah nodded. Then, she slowly sat up. “Sis, I had a dream. I dreamed that you kicked me out for your husband. Sis, you won't kick me out because of that man, right?”Madeline smiled with interest. "Um… I can't guarantee the future.”“Sis?” Hannah's expression changed d
Chapter 2139
After Karen said that, Hannah flew into a fit of rage after being stunned for a second.“What did you say? You want me to be a servant here?”“Of course,” Karen deliberately said in an arrogant tone. “We’re letting you stay in the guest room because we respect Eveline. Do you want to stay here and eat here for free? You’re able-bodied. Are you not ashamed?”“...”Hannah did not know what to say to that. Then, her gaze softened as she looked at Madeline innocently. She asked for help.“Sis—”“It’s no use calling out to her. If you want to stay, you should obediently be a servant.”Jeremy interrupted Hannah decisively and coldly, his eyes bursting with unignorable intimidation.“Our family won't support people who refuse to work. Even my wife works very hard every day. No one has the privilege of getting anything for free.”“...”Facing Jeremy's breathtaking eyes, Hannah gritted her teeth in secret.Despite her dissatisfaction, she had no choice but to stand up, walk over to
Chapter 2140
The rays of dawn were not as strong. They gently fell on their bodies. It felt very nice to have a thin layer of warmth enveloping them.Soon, Jeremy brought breakfast over. He enjoyed this warm and leisurely breakfast with his wife and sons.“It feels better without an eyesore around.” Jeremy sipped his coffee and sighed emotionally.“I wonder how long she can keep up the act. I hope she knows when to stop. I really don't want to keep dealing with her.” Madeline smiled. She was supporting her youngest son on her lap and feeding him milk gently.Jackson felt unexpectedly jealous when he saw this scene.“Mommy, I want a hug too. You haven’t hugged me in a long time.” Jackson blinked his big eyes. He looked very aggrieved as he tried to compete for his mother’s love with his brother.Madeline knew that when Jackson was as young as Pudding, she did not manage to take good care of him and love him as much. Of course, she would be more than happy to hug Jackson now that he was askin
Chapter 2141
Despite Madeline's comfort, Ava still sighed sadly.She leaned her head on Madeline's shoulder, the corners of her eyes started welling with tears without her knowing as the cold wind blew past her. “Maddie, I don’t think it’s important whether two people have feelings for each other or not if they want to end up together.”“How could that be?” Madeline did not understand why Ava said that. “A marriage without feelings is the most painful and saddest thing in the world. You have feelings for Dan. He’s such a gentle and considerate person too. I believe he’ll make you very happy.”Ava raised the corners of her lips, pulling them into a regretful smile. “Yes, I also believe that Dan is a man who can bring happiness to his wife. However, his wife won’t be me.”“..”Upon hearing this, Madeline's expression changed drastically.She turned her head to look at Ava abruptly. “Ava, what do you mean by that? What happened between you and Dan?”“He’s decided to marry his childhood sweeth
Chapter 2142
“I know as well that Dan doesn't want to give up on me, but he’s really left with no other choice now.” Ava felt helpless.As soon as she finished speaking, Daniel called.However, Ava merely looked at the screen of the phone and did not pick it up.“Ava, answer the call.”“I don't know what to say.” Ava raised her head and sighed helplessly.When Madeline saw Ava’s hesitation, she took the phone and answered the call for Ava without thinking.“Ava!” Madeline could hear Daniel's excited voice on the other side of the phone. It seemed that Ava had not answered Daniel's calls for a long time. Then, Madeline put the call on speaker.“Dan, it's me.”On the other end, Daniel froze for a moment before asking, “Eveline?”“Yes, it's me. I'm with Ava now and she's in the restroom.” Madeline made an excuse and looked at Ava, who was nervous.In reality, Ava wanted to answer whenever Daniel called her as she wanted badly to talk to him but she had been restraining herself. “Dan, I jus
Chapter 2143
Madeline nodded affirmatively. “Since Dan has already said so, then it must be the case. Have some faith in your future husband. Let's go.”“...” Ava's cheeks turned hot, seemingly because Madeline had said the words ‘future husband’.To speak the truth, of course, Ava hoped that Dan would be the man she spend the rest of her days with.Madeline and Ava wandered around International Mall. About ten minutes later, Madeline received a text from Daniel.He said he had arrived.Madeline immediately told him where they were. Then, she continued to shop with Ava in the mall as if nothing had happened.It did not take long for Daniel to appear in front of Madeline and Ava like he had coincidentally bumped into them.However, his acting skills were pretty bad. To any discerning person, this encounter did not look like a coincidence at all.Daniel only had Ava in his eyes, and he ran up to her as soon as he arrived, holding her shoulders tightly.“Ava, why haven't you answered my calls
