That was Madelyn's first time talking back to Jasmine."Crack!" Suddenly, a resounding crack came from the kitchen. The maid, busy working in the kitchen, trembled and dropped a bowl to the ground upon hearing what Madelyn said.It was bizarre. One of them was someone with whom Zach had an ambiguous relationship; the other was his current wife. Madelyn had become one of the many women in Zach's life.Madelyn's face was pale as she coughed a few times. She looked weak and drained. She had just returned from the hospital, so Zach did not force her. Instead, he lovingly served her a bowl of creamy potato soup and had the maid bring it to her."Your body is still recovering. It's better for you to eat something light for now.""Thank you."Madelyn took a bite of the grilled zucchini but did not notice the chili flakes on top. As soon as she chewed it, she began coughing violently, causing her wound to hurt.Zach stared at her, furrowing his brows, an expression he would always put o

To protect the baby, the safety rails were wrapped in cushions. And if he fell, a soft carpet was on the floor too...One would not notice these details without looking closely.Zach was the one who bought all these from a baby furniture store. He seemed to care even more about Dalton than Madelyn had initially thought.She could not figure out why Zach had changed so much. He clearly hated her to the core in her past life.'Did he hate me in the past life because of Jadie? My father was the one who caused her death, after all...'In the past life, Hayson returned home from a banquet where he got drunk. Madelyn was in her room that night when she heard Hayson breaking into Jadie's room before she screamed desperately for help.Madelyn was jealous of Zach's feelings for Jadie, so she chose to ignore everything happening upstairs. Coincidentally, Zach went on a business trip that day. If she pretended that she did not hear anything, she could leave herself entirely out of it.The

"And..." Yvonne pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "Mom had used your name to send Mrs. Arnold Sr. to the crematory, and we'll be having a funeral for her in seven days. Do you know what's the significance of that day?"Zach raised an eyebrow and asked, "What?""That day is not meant for burial. If a funeral takes place on that day, the deceased will turn into a vengeful spirit..."Zach interrupted her with a chuckle, "Hm? Do you think I killed her?" He put out his cigarette in the ashtray and stood up.Yvonne stood in front of him and felt somewhat disorganized as her heart raced. She panicked and could not even speak properly, "N-No, it-it's not like that! I'm your wife. How could I even accuse you of that? Zach, you're my husband, and I'll always be on your side.""That's enough. Stop with your ridiculous excuses. You can stay here, but I'm only doing this for Madelyn's sake."He then turned around and sat at the desk, "Get out if you're done.""Zach! I really want the best

Frida scoffed. Then, she told the undertaker to place the urn in the grave and fill it.After everything was done, Zach stood in the middle of everyone. Then, his bodyguard handed him a bouquet of white lilies.That was Evelyn's favorite flower.Zach bent down and placed the bouquet in front of the grave. Everyone was shocked by how thoughtful he was.However, Zach only did that because of her. Otherwise, he would not have bothered doing that at all.After all, it was not easy to hike up the mountain.Suddenly, it started drizzling.Zach came late and left early. Kevin stood beside him and held an umbrella for him."Zach..." Yvonne called out to him.As Yvonne tried to follow them, Kevin reached out to stop her, "I'm sorry, Ms. Young. Mr. Jardin has something to take care of in the office. We can't give you a ride."Yvonne's face immediately turned pale. It was not because Kevin had stopped her from getting closer to Zach but how Kevin had addressed her.Her expression turne

Margaret stepped back and gestured aimlessly, "Oh my gosh! Ms. Jent, I've got to say, this child really looks like you and Mr. Jardin. Look at his eyes, nose, and mouth. It's like a combination of both of you!"'A combination?'Madelyn lowered her gaze and forced a smile, pretending not to care, "I'm no longer able to conceive. If this child does happen to resemble me, it's probably just a coincidence."From the beginning, Madelyn was also skeptical. But as time passed, this child, who was initially malnourished and skinny, had become plump and healthy. When she watched him at night, there was a voice in her heart telling her, 'Look at how much this child looks like you. He's your child.'Madelyn knew very well that she could not get pregnant in this lifetime. Besides, she had never had a child. So, the fact that this child looked like she and Zach were nothing more than a coincidence. There was a chance for people to look similar, even without any blood relation. Perhaps this chil
