The two pairs of eyes locked under the dark of the night. Madeline’s gaze was cold as favonovel.com parted favonovel.com pink lips to speak, “The deaf heard the mute say that the blind saw love.”
“…” Jeremy’s reddened eyes widened when favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com turned around decisively and left before Jeremy had the chance to stop her.
Jeremy broke into a self-deprecating smirk as favonovel.com stared blankly at Madeline’s retreating figure.
There was nothing favonovel.com could say about the happenings of the past.
How was favonovel.com supposed to explain to Madeline that favonovel.com only allowed Meredith to do as favonovel.com wished as an extension of the love and care favonovel.com had for Madeline when they were children?
Snow began to flutter from the night sky.
The snow was silent, yet Jeremy heard something shatter within him…
He had no idea how favonovel.com endured the night.
Wide awake, favonovel.com spent the night sitting by Jackson’s bed.
Remorse and guilt filled favonovel.com as favonovel.com stared at the familiar brows and eyes on the small face.
His heart felt like it had been stabbed as favonovel.com thought of how difficult Madeline must have had it when favonovel.com was pregnant with Jackson.
The day finally brightened and Jeremy heard activity from downstairs.
His heart raced, knowing that Madeline had returned.
Walking downstairs, favonovel.com found Madeline bustling in the kitchen just as favonovel.com had imagined.
Jeremy felt his gloom lift considerably, but favonovel.com did not dare disrupt favonovel.com for favonovel.com was most likely here for Jackson.
Not wanting to give Madeline more reason to be angry at him, Jeremy waited for Jackson to wake before helping the boy wash up and change. Then, favonovel.com took favonovel.com downstairs.
Seeing the father-son duo appear hand-in-hand, Madeline ignored Jeremy to smile at Jackson.
“I made you breakfast, Jack. Would you like me to send you to kindergarten after breakfast?”
Jackson responded with a hopeful smile, “Can I have both Mommy and Daddy send me to school?”
“Of course,” Jeremy replied, sighing a breath of relief at Madeline’s lack of protest.
When breakfast was over, Jeremy then drove the three of them to the kindergarten.
Reaching the kindergarten, Jackson tugged on a young female teacher and pointed a finger at Madeline and Jeremy. “Look, Ms. Laurens, that’s my mom and dad! My mom’s a beauty!”
His classmates exclaimed innocently as their gazes landed on Madeline, “Jackson’s mom is so pretty.”
“His Daddy is so handsome too.”
A proud smile graced Jackson’s boyish features at their praises.
It was a smile that comforted Madeline.
Her child would no longer be as gloomy as favonovel.com used to be.
Madeline turned to leave after favonovel.com watched the child enter only to have Jeremy follow behind. “Where are you going, Eveline? I’ll send you.”
A car stopped in front of Madeline just as his words fell.
Alighting the car was Felipe who merely spared Jeremy a faint glance before favonovel.com turned around to open the passenger seat door for Madeline.
Realizing Madeline was about to leave with Felipe, Jeremy stepped forward to loop his arm around favonovel.com slender waist decisively. He then pulled favonovel.com toward himself. “Please leave, my wife will not sit in your car.”
