Chapter 488
Madeline dropped to her knees while her trembling fingers began to caress Jackson’s brow. They went from his eyes to his nose to his adorably small mouth… “What’s wrong, Mommy? Why are you crying?” Jackson blinked confusedly as he reached out to wipe Madeline’s tears away. Madeline lovingly clasped Jackson’s fair and small hands in her larger ones. “Jack… Mommy’s precious little boy. Mommy finally gets to see you!” Unable to hold back, Madeline pulled Jackson’s small frame into her chest. Holding Jackson tightly, the storm of joy and sorrow within her intertwined and came out in the form of wet scalding tears that streamed down her face. She knew she should be elated, but her heart felt like it was going to shatter. Meredith was just too wicked. How could she come up with such a way to torture her and her child? Madeline felt her chest tighten as she imagined the wicked things Meredith had done to Jackson in the past five years. She did not even dare to recall the

Madeline’s eyes held nothing but frost in them as they met the man’s warm gaze. “If you have any shred of conscience left, Jeremy, you’ll give my child back to me.” “Was this what you wanted to talk to me about?” Jeremy tugged his lips into a bitter smile. “Jack can’t lose his dad just because he has his mom now.” “Dad?” Madeline scoffed ironically as she sent a strong wave of despise at Jeremy. “Does your conscience not hurt, Jeremy? You’ve done nothing to redeem your worth as Jack’s dad.” “...” Jeremy pursed his lips and remained silent. Madeline walked up to him, frost oozing off her delicate and slender figure as she stood in front of the lithe man. “Do you even remember what you fed me every time you were done with me? Contraceptives, that’s what. You told me that a woman as wretched as me will never be worthy of having your children. Do you remember?” “...” Jeremy’s sharp brows knitted tightly at Madeline’s interrogation. “I was already pregnant with your child w

“What about when Meredith framed me and locked me in prison? Do you remember what you told me then? You told me to kill this b*stard child of mine to make up for Meredith’s miscarriage.“Have you forgotten everything you’ve told me, Jeremy? What makes you think you have the right to promise Jack a happy family after every heartless move you’ve made against Jack and me? You have no right to be Jack’s father!” Madeline flung Jeremy’s hold off and turned around cooly. Jeremy stood rooted in place with his heart rate and breathing running wild.Snowflakes littered across his shoulders before they seemed to melt into his heart, leaving his chest cold and moist… With a warm smile, Madeline made a beeline for Jackson upon entering the house. “Do you want to live with Mommy from now on, Jack?” Jackson nodded joyfully despite not understanding the situation. “I want to live with Mommy! And Daddy too, so that I can be just like the other kids with both a mom and dad!” The sparkle in

Madeline never expected to see the day when Jeremy would kneel for her. It would be a lie to deny that she was shocked, but as shocked as she was, it would be more fitting to claim that she found the situation absurd. The man before her was one of noble status and his name was known throughout the entirety of Glendale. It was a given that anyone who crossed paths with him would treat him with respect, while some went the extra mile to get on his good side. It was hard to imagine such a man kneeling in front of her, in front of the woman he had once cast away. Madeline lowered her aloof gaze to stare at Jeremy’s handsome face, his knitted brows radiating the sorrow he felt. “Who would have thought that the young master of the greatest family would kneel for the woman he had once tossed away? Don’t you find it hilarious, Mister Whitman?” Jeremy took Madeline’s mockery in stride. “I would do anything for your happiness.” “Hah.” Madeline scoffed. “You’ll make me very happy if

The two pairs of eyes locked under the dark of the night. Madeline’s gaze was cold as she parted her pink lips to speak, “The deaf heard the mute say that the blind saw love.” “...” Jeremy’s reddened eyes widened when he heard Madeline. “Perhaps it's because you’ve never meant the words that you say, Jeremy, which is why you see your promises as pranks and your professes of love as jokes. But that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten them.” She paused for a moment, the mockery in her eyes thickening. “You were the one who told me that Meredith has an irreplaceable spot in your heart, that the moment your eyes fell on her, you knew that she’s the only girl you’ll ever love and protect your entire life.” Repeating Jeremy’s words to him, the contempt in Madeline’s smile grew. “You were the one who said Meredith is your one and only, yet now you’re telling me it’s been me all along? Hmph. If this is what your love looks like, Jeremy, then I don’t want it.” With that, she turned around

Madeline was taken by surprise when she found herself being held tightly in Jeremy’s arms. She had not the chance to avoid him.A smudge of anger tinted Felipe’s gentle features. “Let go, Jeremy. Stop bothering her. Vera’s my fianceé.” “You’re very well aware who exactly I’m holding in my arms, Felipe, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that Madeline and I are still legally married. Don’t become a homewrecker.” Felipe’s expression darkened. Jeremy tugged lightly on Madeline’s waist with a faint smile. “Let’s go, darling.” “...” Madeline had half the mind to struggle only to realize that several parents were watching her and Jeremy. Remembering how happy and proud Jackson was as he introduced her and Jeremy moments ago, Madeline relented. Sparing Felipe and his cold eyes a glance, Madeline followed Jeremy into his car. It was only after they had left the kindergarten perimeters that Madeline requested Jeremy to stop his car. He listened and stopped by the road

She was still his wife! Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the office door. Looking up, Madeline was met Felipe who wore a warm and small smile on his lips. After clearing her table, she opened the door for Felipe to enter and made him a cup of black tea. Felipe took a light sip before going straight to the point. “Why did you turn your phone off the past two days? Did Jeremy say something that day in front of Whitman Corporation?” At the mention of this topic, Madeline beamed with a beautiful smile. Her eyes were filled with joy. “I found my child.” Felipe trembled. “Yours and Jeremy’s first child?” “Yeah. Who would’ve thought that he has always been by my side?” Madeline smiled sweetly, revealing her dimples. “Jackson’s my son.” “Jackson is your son?” Felipe was stunned. Madeline nodded. “It explains why I always felt a special connection and intimacy when it came to Jack.”Felipe’s eyes softened as he stared at the sweet and carefree smile Madeline had ne

The document was formatted as if it was a diary. Clicking into it, the first thing Madeline saw was the date above. It was dated three years ago, the day after she had ‘died’. Its content left Madeline tongue-tied. [I never thought you would leave me like this. You wouldn’t, right? This must be a prank, right? Don’t joke about things like this, Madeline. It’s not funny. [You said you loved me, that you’d bother me forever. Why is your forever so short? It can’t be. I refuse to believe that it is… [You must be doing this on purpose, Madeline. You’re doing this so that I would never forget you and miss you forever. You’re sly, but I won’t fall for it. [Madeline… [Madeline…]“...” Everything afterward was just her name typed again and again. Her hand that was on the mouse trembled lightly. While she could clearly read the words typed in the document on her screen, Madeline found herself unable to imagine how Jeremy must have felt while he wrote it back then.Nor d
