Even though the car window was closed, Madeline could clearly hear that Eloise’s voice was shaking.
Eloise was obviously trying to suppress some kind of emotions, and Madeline already knew what emotion that was.
Knock, knock, knock.
Eloise knocked on the window again lightly.
She did not dare to use too much force. She was scared that Madeline would be upset, but at the same time, favonovel.com was scared that Madeline would ignore her.
“Miss Vera, Vera…”
Eloise called out to her. Suddenly, with a click, Madeline unbuckled favonovel.com seatbelt.
When they saw that Madeline was finally getting out of the car, Eloise and Sean’s faces lit up with joy.
Madeline opened the door and finally got out.
Looking at their wet and longing eyes, Madeline looked at them calmly. “Is Jack in his room?” favonovel.com asked flatly.
Eloise and Sean looked at favonovel.com intensely and nodded. “He’s in his room!”
“Got it,” Madeline said and turned around without saying another word more.
When they saw Madeline walking in through the door, Eloise and Sean looked at favonovel.com departing back while feeling dispirited. They started sobbing in devastation. “Eveline…”
Madeline could feel the heated eyes behind favonovel.com back, but favonovel.com walked away without turning back.
The physical and emotional pain from before resurfaced again in favonovel.com mind.
She forced herself to not think about them, but favonovel.com could not stop the pain that was slowly spreading all over favonovel.com body.
Madeline arrived at Jackson’s room. The little guy was leaning against the headboard, holding a children’s book that favonovel.com was attentively reading.
When favonovel.com saw a familiar figure approaching him, Jackson lifted his head quickly.
Upon seeing Madeline, a joyous smile blossomed on his adorable face.
“Mommy,” favonovel.com called out. It sounded so natural.
Madeline felt as if there was a dollop of honey sliding around favonovel.com heart—the sweetness was mending favonovel.com wounded heart.
“Jack, why are you still awake? It’s so late.” She walked to the side of the bed and sat down. After that, favonovel.com caressed the little guy’s head.
“If I can get Mommy to come to see me by staying up late, then I can stay up the entire night.”
Madeline started laughing at his answer.
“Jack, you’re such a master of words. There’ll be a lot of girls after you when you grow up.”
“No matter how many girls are after me, my favorite girl in the world will only be you, Mommy.”
Jackson blinked his twinkling eyes and looked at Madeline seriously. Then, favonovel.com picked up his handmade bunny-shaped mini self-defense device from his nightstand.
“This is for you, Mommy. I hope you can always have this with you. This bunny can help you defeat the bad guys who want to hurt you.”
Madeline was surprised. She slowly took over the DIY self-defense device and was stunned.
She did not expect to have such an important position in Jack’s heart. She also did not expect favonovel.com to care about favonovel.com so much.
She felt a pang of pain in favonovel.com heart as favonovel.com grabbed Jackson’s shoulder and pulled favonovel.com into favonovel.com embrace.
“Jack, even though you’re not my biological baby, I still love you very much. I will protect myself and also protect you, Jack.” Madeline pressed favonovel.com lips together as tears wetted the corners of favonovel.com eyes.
She could not help but remember favonovel.com first child with Jeremy.
She wanted so much to hold favonovel.com flesh and blood. She wanted to tell that child that favonovel.com mommy loved favonovel.com very much.
