Madelyn brushed off the dust from her body and comforted her, "Let me see your hand. Does it hurt?" "Not at all." Madelyn pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "You're such a good girl. Where's your mother? Why are you here alone?" The little girl giggled. "She went to the restroom, but she realized there was no toilet paper inside, so | came to bring her some.
Madelyn's voice sounded very warm and kind. Also, it was evident that the little girl liked her very much too.
"I see. It's dangerous for a little child like you to be here alone. Let's wait for your mom inside, okay?" "Oh, sure thing." Madelyn thought of her baby girl who had left this world before being born. 'If she were still alive, would she be as cute as this little girl, calling me Mom?" she wondered.
What happened to her baby was going to haunt her for the rest of her life.
But... she would never have another baby again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter some time, Zach came outside. Madelyn stood up and met his gaze before getting into his car.
Kevin came over with the leftovers and placed them into the trunk.
Both of them kept quiet during the ride and what happened to their baby was a pain that they could never overcome.
Zach had done a lot of wicked things in his life. If anyone ever found out about his heinous actions, he would almost certainly receive a death sentence.
However, he regretted none of them.
If there was one thing he regretted, it would be what he had done to Madelyn Jent.
Time changed, and so did everything else, including the feelings Zach had for Madelyn.
He had simply overestimated himself and his own capabilities.
Perhaps something could be mended, but...
There was also something that he could never fix.
Finally, they arrived at the Southern Haven Villas. The car journey lasted for more than an hour, but none of them had said a word.
Madelyn got out of the car without looking back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZach watched her slender figure as she walked toward the villa. He only told Kevin to drive away when she completely disappeared from his sight.
Zach did not appear in front of Madelyn for the next two days. Finally, Madelyn got to spend two days without any disturbance.
However, an unexpected guest then disrupted her peace.
Madelyn stood on the third floor and saw Yvonne on the road while holding her phone. She stood beside her red Ferrari that was parked in front of her door. "I have something to talk to you about, but I'm not coming in. Could you meet me downstairs?" "Let's just talk on the phone," Madelyn said.
"Madelyn, | want to speak to you in person. | won't leave until you come down." ‘Yvonne ended the call after saying that. She had dared to disobey the warnings Zach had given her, so that was the only thing she could do.
There were bodyguards standing at the door, but Madelyn went downstairs anyway and let Yvonne enter the villa.
They sat on the sofa, and there was an indescribable look on the maid's face. The maid was about to address Yvonne as "Mrs.
Jardin" but managed to correct herself in time. "Ms. Young, please have some tea." She could not imagine what would happen if she were to address Yvonne as Mrs. Jardin in front of Madelyn.
The maid thought the confrontation between the two women would be chaotic, but they just seemed like two old friends chatting peacefully after not seeing each other for many years.
