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 favonovel.com table, favonovel.com opened the door for Felipe to enter and made favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com has always been by my side?” Madeline smiled sweetly, revealing favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com stared at the sweet and carefree smile Madeline had never worn in front of favonovel.com before.
“Congratulations on finally finding your child.”
He smiled faintly, but there was a crease between his brows.
“This morning, you followed Jeremy into his car because of Jackson, didn’t you?”
Madeline nodded as favonovel.com spoke favonovel.com mind. “While I never intended to be separated from Jack, I still owe it to favonovel.com as his mother. After all, Meredith only tortured and hurt favonovel.com that way because of me.”
“It’s not your fault.” Felipe gently held Madeline’s hand. “You’re not at fault. The ones to blame are Meredith and Jeremy. I can help you if you want to fight for custody over Jack when you’re divorcing Jeremy.”
Madeline frowned in frustration at the mention of divorce. “Felipe, the—”
“Just give me a little more time to deal with some old issues. Then I’ll bring you and Jack back to F Country to see Lily. We can get married then and live simple and happy lives as a family of four.”
Felipe’s obsidian-like eyes gleamed with tenderness.
Then, favonovel.com pulled Madeline into his arms lightly.
Madeline did not know whether favonovel.com should hug favonovel.com back or push favonovel.com away for a moment. Sure, that was favonovel.com plan too, to leave this land of rumors after favonovel.com completed favonovel.com revenge.
Yet, favonovel.com had no idea why favonovel.com determination wavered now.
Not too long after Felipe’s departure, Ava came to visit favonovel.com at the shop as well.
Madeline told Ava everything that had happened over the past two days, which ended in Ava being too shocked to hold the cup steadily in favonovel.com hands.
“What? How could that b*stard be so shameless as to tell you favonovel.com loves you? Love my foot!” Ava was furious. “You can’t fall for that, Maddie. He’s got to be lying to you! He might just be saying that so favonovel.com can reclaim Whitman Corporation’s stocks.”
Madeline nodded. “Relax. My feelings for favonovel.com died long ago.”
“Yeah!” Ava exclaimed satisfactorily before leaning over to hug Madeline’s shoulder affectionately. “As evil as the b*stard is, I’m so happy you got to find your son back, Maddie!
“After going through so much to give birth to favonovel.com and being tortured to death by that bstard and that btch, I’m glad he’s doing alright. Not to mention how cute he’s grown to look.”
“Jack’s a really quiet and understanding child. It hurts me a lot to know what he’s gone through.”
“I’m hurt for you.” Ava’s eyes reddened. “You can’t soften your heart because of the child, Maddie. Don’t go back to him, not after how favonovel.com left you battered and bruised.”
Madeline’s mind echoed with Ava’s remarks after favonovel.com left.
She would not go back to favonovel.com again.
Definitely not.
Madeline began to redraft favonovel.com divorce agreement, locking herself in the office for the entire day.
The sky was grim as the icy wind blew outside the windows.
Just as favonovel.com was about to finish typing it up, Madeline accidentally clicked the exit button before favonovel.com could save the document.
Despondent, favonovel.com ruffled through favonovel.com past resources and had accidentally clicked on one of the nameless files favonovel.com previously copied from Jeremy’s computer.
Madeline remembered how the file was filled with thousands of .txt documents. She simply clicked on one of them and it opened to reveal a single line—‘It’s nice to see you again. I mean it.’
Madeline realized that something was wrong as favonovel.com pondered over the phrase.
She immediately closed it only to open the first document saved in this file.
The words within it had Madeline in a daze…
