The waiter replied, "She just left. If you're fast, you might find her.""Thanks," Ethan replied, grabbing his jacket and running out.Outside, he looked around. There were cars, but no sign of Madelyn.He called her number on his phone."Sorry, the phone you're calling is off..."Ethan tried calling again, but no luck.Actually, if Ethan had just looked behind him, he would've seen Madelyn standing there.Ethan texted her: [Call me when you're home. I'll arrange your flight back to Paris. In a few days, someone will come to get you.]Without looking back, Ethan jumped into his car and sped off.Madelyn held her phone tight. Her fingers were pale, and she felt hurt inside.Actually, Madelyn had sneaked behind Ethan earlier and heard everything he said on the phone. Although she and Ethan were already engaged, she felt more like a homewrecker now. If it was only about Donna, Madelyn wouldn't have minded. 'But they have a kid?' thought Madelyn. 'Zach got rid of my engagement

Madelyn moved her body, continued to whimper.At this moment, Zach seemed like a restrained beast breaking free from its chains. He unzipped his pants, pulling his manhood out with one hand and lifted one of her legs with the other, then leaned in and kissed her.Madelyn felt something thrust into her, and suddenly, she became fully alert; her abdomen tensed. 'Zach? Why is he here?' Madelyn couldn't speak and could only emit a muted, "Mmm."There was a sharp pain the moment he filled her completely, but it faded quickly.Madelyn was kissed to the point of breathlessness, struggling to catch her breath. Alcohol had numbed her brain, and she felt herself in a daze, her entire being floating, as if she were suspended in the air.A wet, sticky sound filled the air, accompanied by vigorous movements that made the car sway."Mmm... Enough."Madelyn reached out to grab something but found nothing. She felt like she was floating on the cold water, neither sinking nor rising, on the brin

Madelyn spoke in her sleep, tears streaming down her face. "Please, give me back my baby..."Zach stared at her, anger flickering in his eyes, "What baby?" His voice demanding an answer."No! Cecilia, please... tell Zach to give me back my baby. You can have him, but I want to keep my baby..."'Cecilia?' Zach made a mental note of the name.While Zach handled business matters, he also took care of the unconscious Madelyn.When Jadie arrived, she looked worn out and tired.She wasn't sure how to face Zach. When she looked at Madelyn, there was coldness in her eyes."Is Zach planning to look after her forever?"Busy with his work, Zach didn't look up, but his voice sounded irritated, "Where were you last night? Kevin said you didn't come back to the apartment.""Do you even care about me anymore, Zach? Whether I live or die, it doesn't matter to you."Zach paused, his eyes cold, "It seems that therapy clinic isn't helping you."These days, apart from some part-time jobs, Jadie

"Even if you don't forgive me, I want to be by your side. I hope to see you get married to someone who's good for you, so even if I die, I die in peace... I'll go heat up your cream soup so it's ready when you wake up."The quiet room was interrupted by the sound of a closing door. Madelyn opened her eyes. She had been awake since Zach left. Madelyn stared blankly at the ceiling. This was the first time she heard about Hayson's wrongdoings from someone else.She always knew Hayson wasn't a good person, but no one ever told her exactly what he had done over the years.Even if she did nothing wrong, as a member of the Jent family, those victims would seek revenge on her.She had to bear all this just because she was Hayson's daughter. She didn't even have the right to blame others.But that doesn't mean she could forgive everything Rosario had done and act like it never happened.Rosario finished warming the cream soup and was about to bring it to the room. Seeing the light on, s

Evelyn quickly spoke up, "Madelyn, the child is indeed Ethan's. It was my idea for Ethan to accept him, not his own choice. I pleaded with him to keep the child... I know you can't have children, so I thought if he could get custody, the child could be with you, making up for you not being able to be a mom. After all, the child carries our family bloodline. I couldn't bear to see him suffer with Donna. Madelyn... you're a kind-hearted girl. Don't you want our family name to continue? You'll understand my choice, right?"Donna hid in a corner, secretly listening to their conversation.George chimed in, "Miss Jent, the child doesn't change your relationship with our young master. The position of Mrs. Arnold is a coveted one. If you're upset, you shouldn't let another woman win. You know what's best. You must understand."Madelyn stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Evelyn. I still want to end the engagement. If I've upset you, I apologize."She then took out a letter of engagement written
