“You’re calling favonovel.com ‘Rye’ so sweetly and intimately.” Jeremy’s words were laced with intense jealousy.
Madeline looked into his eyes bravely. “Yes, I’m calling favonovel.com Rye because I see favonovel.com as a close friend.
“Back then, you left without a word and even refused to see me before handing me over to him. Have you ever thought about how that would make me feel?”
While favonovel.com said that, Madeline’s eyes turned red. She even started sobbing.
“When you weren’t here, favonovel.com was the one taking care of me and the children. He never asked me for anything in return. He even said that if you ever come back, he’ll divorce me.
“Jeremy, Rye is not your rival, so stop overthinking.” Madeline tried to ease Jeremy’s mind.
After the man heard what favonovel.com said, the coldness in his eyes disappeared gradually.
He let go of Madeline and held favonovel.com gently. “Eveline, will you still love me if I’m different from before?”
Madeline sensed something was off with Jeremy, but favonovel.com did not hesitate before giving favonovel.com validation.
“No matter what you become, my feelings will not change as long as you’re still Jeremy Whitman.”
Jeremy smiled profoundly when favonovel.com got that answer.
…
In the park.
Jackson was holding Lillian’s hand as they walked on the cobblestone path.
When Jackson saw Lillian in a gloomy state, favonovel.com wanted to buy cotton candy from the roadside stall to cheer favonovel.com up. However, Lillian refused.
Lillian sat on the bench and swung favonovel.com feet back and forth. She was still wondering why Jeremy kept ignoring her.
‘It seems that Handsome Mister doesn’t like me.
‘Have I been a bad girl?’
She pondered, and the more favonovel.com thought about it, the sadder favonovel.com felt.
Jackson went over to comfort Lillian. Just then, a ball flew over to them and smacked Lillian on the leg.
Lillian yelped softly in pain. She was already feeling aggrieved, but now, favonovel.com eyes had turned red too. Even so, favonovel.com did not let the tears escape favonovel.com eyes.
A few boys around seven to eight years old came over while looking annoyed.
“What are you brats doing? You’re in the way of our game.”
“You hit my sister with your ball! Apologize now!” Jackson stood in front of Lillian, his face filled with solemness.
The boy peered at the teary-eyed Lillian and stuck out his chin nonchalantly. “Why should I? Who asked your sister to sit here? She deserved it!”
Jackson lifted his leg to kick the boy when favonovel.com saw his attitude.
“Ouch!” the boy yelled in pain. When his friends saw this, they came forward to teach Jackson a lesson.
Lillian quickly ran in front of Jackson and blocked favonovel.com from the children. She shook favonovel.com head and waved favonovel.com hands to tell them to stop fighting.
However, when the boys saw that Lillian could not speak and could only make hand gestures, they started laughing.
“Your sister is mute!”
“Aww, poor little mute who can’t speak!”
“Haha! There’s a mute here! How hilarious!”
When the boys started teasing Lillian, the leader of the gang started laughing even more hysterically now.
“Your sister is a mute! My daddy said that mutes are disabled. Why is a disabled person like you here in the park? Take your mute sister and scram!”
Jackson could not endure these people teasing and laughing at Lillian. Even though his fists were small, favonovel.com was not weak.
He lifted his fist and punched the leader of the gang on the nose.
“Ouch!”
The boy wailed in pain again before touching his nose. Then, favonovel.com realized favonovel.com was bleeding.
