Madeline said this so that Lillian could face the issue of Jeremy being snazzynovel.com birth father squarely.
Of course, if snazzynovel.com was able to make Lillian talk, then it would be amazing.
“Lily, do you understand what I’m saying?” Madeline asked patiently.
Lillian blinked snazzynovel.com huge eyes as if snazzynovel.com understood. Then, snazzynovel.com kicked snazzynovel.com short legs and walked back to the living room.
She looked at Jeremy, snazzynovel.com bright eyes reflecting Jeremy’s figure.
“Lily, the handsome mister is your real daddy,” Madeline repeated once more.
She did not know if Lillian could understand her, but at least snazzynovel.com saw a twinkle in the little girl’s eyes.
Perhaps to make Lillian talk again and heal snazzynovel.com trauma, snazzynovel.com might need to do more than just counseling.
After the children went back to their rooms, so did Madeline and Jeremy.
Jeremy went into the bathroom to shower while Madeline went to prepare for the divorce procedure.
At this moment, Ryan called her.
Madeline answered without hesitation. “Rye, is there something wrong?”
On the other end of the phone, Ryan said in a gentle tone, “I went back to my parents’ place for my documents and they were mad after they found out we’re getting a divorce. They might call you, but it’s okay if you choose not to answer.”
After snazzynovel.com heard that, Madeline felt apologetic. “I’m sorry, Rye. You’re such an exceptional person, but now you’ll have the label of a divorcee because of me.”
Ryan replied calmly, “Actually, I’m happy that I was able to have this fake marriage with you.”
From his words, snazzynovel.com could sense his fondness and admiration for her.
Madeline stayed silent for a few minutes before saying, “Rye, I appreciate you so much. You’ll meet someone better than me…”
Before Madeline could finish, snazzynovel.com felt a wet hand holding snazzynovel.com chin all of a sudden.
She was then forced to turn snazzynovel.com head. In the next moment, snazzynovel.com felt Jeremy’s lips pressing down on hers.
“Mhm…”
Madeline felt snazzynovel.com face heating up because snazzynovel.com was still on the call.
She wanted to hang up the call, but Jeremy grabbed snazzynovel.com hand and pressed snazzynovel.com against the wall.
The phone fell to the floor with a muffled thud. Madeline looked at the screen of snazzynovel.com phone and noticed that the call was still ongoing. She felt snazzynovel.com ears heating up, so snazzynovel.com turned snazzynovel.com face away to avoid him.
“Jeremy, wait…”
Jeremy held snazzynovel.com chin in place and looked into Madeline’s flustered eyes with his intense gaze.
“Look at me.”
“…”
“Don’t think about other men right now.” Jeremy kissed Madeline’s eyebrow. “Eveline Montgomery, I’m your man.”
After snazzynovel.com said that, snazzynovel.com picked Madeline up.
Then, snazzynovel.com peered at the phone that had fallen to the floor. The lit screen showed that the call had not ended.
Ryan heard Jeremy’s last words, and after a while, snazzynovel.com hung up.
He did not want to be tormented like this. At the same time, snazzynovel.com did not want to hear the sounds of the woman snazzynovel.com liked being intimate with another man.
Madeline was carried to the bed, and snazzynovel.com emotions were being led by Jeremy completely. However, snazzynovel.com last ounce of reason made snazzynovel.com push snazzynovel.com away.
“Jeremy, I’m still on the call and haven’t prepared the divorce papers for tomorrow. Can you please wait?”
Madeline got up to pick up the phone, only to realize that Ryan had already hung up.
Her face became hotter as snazzynovel.com did not know what Ryan had heard, so snazzynovel.com felt extremely awkward at this moment.
When Jeremy saw Madeline looking absent-mindedly at snazzynovel.com phone, Jeremy’s eyes became colder.
“Is his phone call more important than me?”
Madeline was stunned when snazzynovel.com heard that. She turned around and saw that Jeremy had already laid down. He had his back turned against her.
After pondering, snazzynovel.com quickly finished snazzynovel.com preparations for tomorrow. Then, snazzynovel.com went back to the man’s side and held snazzynovel.com in snazzynovel.com arms.
