"Newlywed couples are indeed so loving."His words were like a sharp sword that pierced through Madeline's heart.She suppressed herself while her stomach was writhing with acidic juices. Staring at Jeremy and Yvette who were holding hands, she let out a smile. "Same goes to you, Mr. Whitman. You and your fiancée are also so loving to each other.""That's a given." Jeremy chuckled. He placed his gaze on Yvette's soothing and smiling face before saying, "Vetty was the ray of light during the darkest time of my life. I'll always appreciate her after being lucky enough to meet such a good lady like Vetty in my life.""Jeremy, I'm not as good as you say." Yvette put on a bashful look, leaning against Jeremy's shoulder. "Oh yeah, hurry and give them our invitation card."'Invitation card?'Madeline was puzzled. The next moment, she saw Jeremy handing over an invitation card that had been meticulously prepared to her."Jeremy and I will be having our engagement ceremony this coming Sa

'But how could you know about it, Jeremy? That time, I chased you away just to save you.'Now, you think that I’ve changed my mind and I’m making fun of you.’She touched the name on the card, smiling with her eye reddened."Jeremy, you'll surely be happy if you know that Lilian is still alive."After having these painful thoughts, Madeline picked up her pencil once again and drew all her thoughts into the design.On the next day, she submitted the design to Jeremy.A long time had passed, but he still did not reply. This felt just like those days back then when he used to ignore her.When it was almost evening, Madeline finally received Jeremy's reply. In his reply, he mentioned his dissatisfaction and requested her to create a new design.Following Jeremy's idea, Madeline constructed a new design. However, even after editing it a few times, Jeremy was still not satisfied. He emphasized to her he was extremely busy and did not wish for her to submit such low-quality designs to

Staring at her frowning face, Jeremy curled his lips. "How could I be so daring to make fun of my aunt?"He walked to her front. "I was done with my meeting a long time ago. It's just that I saw you sleeping, so it would’ve been rather inconvenient to wake you up.""..." After hearing what he had to say, Madeline felt that she was the one at fault.Seeing Madeline daydreaming, Jeremy stared at the blanket which Madeline was holding onto."Aunty, please don't go making wild guesses that I'm the one who covered you with this blanket. It's the lady from the front desk who did it. It's none of my business."He denied that the incident had anything to do with him. His eyes did not show any sign of concern toward her nor could traces of missing her be found.Madeline grasped the blanket tightly and smiled. "It looks like I've really misunderstood. If that's the case, then can you please book an appointment, Mr. Whitman? I don't want to waste too much time on just your case alone.""Ar

"Were you expecting my kiss, Mrs. Whitman?""...""How very unfortunate. Now, I only kiss the woman I love."A sense of tease could be seen in his smile while his eyes glittered scornfully.Madeline felt heartbroken, but she replied in a composed manner, "Did you really think that I was anticipating your kiss? I was just going along with your act. Jeremy, all you want is to hear me saying that I love you and am missing you, right? Unfortunately, how much I used to love you has now become how much I hate you. Got it?"She put on a smile, avoided his gaze, and left the scene.Stunned, Jeremy left his hand hovering in mid-air. The sparkle in his smile and eyes gradually faded away.…Time had passed, and it was already Saturday.Madeline put on a neat gown. Holding onto Felipe's arm, they both arrived at Jeremy and Yvette’s engagement ceremony.She thought there would be a huge crowd at Jeremy's engagement ceremony, yet only a few showed up.Aside from her and Felipe, there wer

"Does sleeping together count as being very close to each other?" Felipe counter-questioned.Yvette shook her head with a smile. "You can't prove how close two people are just because they’ve slept with each other before. After all, there are way too many people having one-night stands these days.""We weren't just having a one-night stand. I've spent many nights with her." Felipe lowered his voice as he inched closer to Yvette. His eyes were sparkling with suspicion. Just when he attempted to examine her face meticulously, his phone rang.He glanced at the incoming call and immediately wore a soothing smile. "Miss Charis, I have a call to answer. We'll talk about it when we get the chance.""Sure, Mr. Whitman." Yvette stared at Felipe as he spun around. Her smile gradually faded.At the garden of the hall.Madeline supported herself against the wall, unable to control herself from retching.She could no longer differentiate whether it was because of her body feeling unwell, or

“He has gained some power and wealth all those years he was in F Country. I’m afraid there’s some sort of illegal trade behind this.”Yvette’s expression changed. “How is that possible? He wouldn’t do anything illegal.”“You still have this much faith in him even when it comes to this? He has done so many illegal trades already.” Jeremy’s question stumped Yvette.She stood there in a daze as tears started welling in her eyes.“You should leave your brightest smile to the person who hurt you the most,” Jeremy said before frowning. Then, he continued, “Just like Eveline Montgomery’s relentless revenge on me.”…After Felipe received the phone call from F Country, he had already booked a flight ticket back.Of course, he would not let Madeline stay in Glendale, so he decided to take her back to F Country with him that night.He arranged for someone to take Madeline to see Lillian while he left hurriedly.Madeline saw the scar on the little girl’s head and felt her heart break.“

Madeline carried Lillian into the house, but since she had another child in her stomach, she did not carry her for too long. Then, she kissed her on the cheek. “Lily, I’ll make some muffins for you now. Can you come and help me?”“Okay!”The little girl blinked her crystal-like eyes and followed Madeline into the kitchen.Jeremy watched from inside his car that was a distance away, looking at Madeline holding a child before walking into the house.He also saw the sincere smile on Madeline’s face.When had she ever smiled at him like that?Jeremy clenched his fingers around the steering wheel as the fire in his eyes burned brightly.“I guess I was just overthinking. I had believed myself as infallible when reality has proven to me otherwise. The man you love right now is really him.”Buzz, buzz.When Jeremy’s phone rang, he answered it without hesitating.His assistant, Ken, could be heard talking from the other end. “Mr. Whitman, I just got the news that Felipe’s at the wareh

He looked at his phone and saw that Madeline had called him.After knowing that Madeline wanted to stay in the outer courtyard with Lillian, he agreed.On the way back, he received information about Yvette.Everything checked out.However, there were still doubts in Felipe’s dark eyes.Back then, he was able to get a brand new identity for Madeline, so it would not be strange if Jeremy had gotten one for Cathy.However, the only thing he could not understand was the relationship between Jeremy and Cathy.Also, why would Jeremy help Cathy?However, if this was indeed true, he would be happy.It meant that she was still alive.Felipe pulled the hairband on his wrist and put it on his finger. There was a deep smile on his face.‘Cathy, we’ll see each other soon.’Outer courtyard.Madeline was just done baking muffins. When Lillian came over to taste them happily, Felipe came home.Lillian called out sweetly when she saw him, “Daddy!”Felipe smiled softly and walked over to
