Chapter 10
Author: Max Charming
Madelyn washed her jujubes and put them on the coffee table. She turned on the TV, sat down and enjoyed her favorite treat.

After finishing cleaning the kitchen, Rosario saw Madelyn on the couch in dirty clothes. She frowned and playfully scolded, "You little scamp! I just changed the couch cover today, and now it's dirty again. Go to your room, change your clothes, and then come back."

Barefoot on the cool floor, Madelyn giggled and dodged Rosario's playful swat, hiding behind the couch. "Can I get changed later, Rosario? I'm so tired. I just want to lie down for a while."

"Naughty girl, if Mr. Jardin sees you misbehaving, you'll get punished again. Go to your room," scolded Rosario.

"Please, just let me finish this episode. It's only ten more minutes," Madelyn pleaded sweetly.

"No way. You have exams coming up, and you're still watching TV. I'm turning it off. Go upstairs and study."

At that moment, Zach's voice echoed from behind Madelyn. "Madelyn, Rosario has a weak heart. Stop making her angry all the time."

Madelyn froze briefly, her eyebrows showing a slight frown. 'Why did Zach and Jadie come back so early? Without my meddling, Zach could have taken Jadie out to live as he wished. Then I could have lived happily by myself in this house.'

Rosario asked, "Mr. Jardin, you're back so soon?"

Zach put his keys on the table, nodding. "There's an emergency meeting at the office, so I came back to pick up some documents. I'll take Jadie over later. For now, she can stay here for a bit."

Madelyn pretended to be engrossed in the television, ignoring their conversation. But to her surprise, Zach walked over to her and tousled her hair.

"Spend less time watching TV, focus more on your studies. Exams are coming up. I'll check your progress when I come back tonight."

Madelyn knew Zach was busy and didn't have much time for her. His attention was mostly on Jadie.

"I finished my homework," Madelyn said casually. "If I need help, I'll ask Jadie. You should get back to work!"

Listening to her indifferent voice, Zach's gaze narrowed when she said she'd ask Jadie for homework help. Even Jadie seemed surprised and stood frozen. Rosario also found Madelyn's behavior strange. Madelyn had never really liked Jadie, and she usually found ways to bully her. Now, she was saying she'd go to Jadie for help, which was unexpected.

Rosario could not help but ask, "M-Madelyn... Are you okay?"

Madelyn popped a jujube into her mouth and stared at the TV screen without really paying attention to it. "I'm fine! Jadie always got better grades than me, so I can learn from her."

The TV show ended as she spoke.

Zach's presence made Madelyn feel a bit suffocated. Putting her legs down from the elevated position, Madelyn said, "Okay, the show's over. I'll go to my room now, Brother."

She knew Zach didn't like her being around, so leaving would give him more space.

Zach glanced at her, attempting to read her face. Madelyn flicked her hair over her shoulder and hurried toward the stairway. Watching her leave, Zach frowned. He remembered how Madelyn used to get jealous whenever he spent time with Jadie, and she would try to harm her in any way she could.

He wondered, 'Has she really moved on, or is she up to something? What does she want to do?'

    Liam was standing in the rain, and though it hadn't been long, he was thoroughly drenched.Blake quickly pulled him close, her voice laced with concern. "Are you crazy? It's pouring rain! What if you catch a cold?"Liam's look was subdued, his face showing signs of fatigue. "I'm okay. This is for you; I didn't want you to have to come out in this weather."As Blake took in his forlorn appearance, her heart softened suddenly. 'Am I losing my mind?' she thought."Now you'll have to pay more attention to me, Blake... I was just so scared of losing you. I've put everything I have into getting you to agree to marry me; the idea of you walking away is unbearable."Overwhelmed with emotion, Blake locked eyes with him. "Did she teach you to say that too?" she asked, her hand moving on its own to brush away the raindrops from his hair.A maid nearby, observing the scene, rushed over with a blanket and an umbrella. However, Grace, fully grasping the gravity of the moment, halted her. Ackno

    Cecilia said, "It's fine. Let's give them a week. Rearrange the flight and all the plans for the trip. This is Blake's first time getting married and going abroad for honeymoon. I want to make sure she has a good time."Susan nodded. "Okay, Ms. Samford."Not long after Cecilia left, three editors who used to work for Olivia's company entered her office. All of them spoke in panic, "Ms. Blue, what should we do? Ms. Samford already knows everything. If the legal department finds out about it, will we go to jail?"Olivia remained calm as she said, "Don't panic. Just focus on your work.""But we got into this company through you. What if they say we got into this company through the back door and then fired us?"Olivia sat at her desk, supporting her forehead with her hands. She was obviously panicking. "Don't worry, I'll handle this."You guys can leave now."Olivia did not expect this matter to be exposed so soon. She wondered how Cecilia found out about it. 'Could it be that she'

    StartReading Literary was the last place Cecilia wanted to be. But she made an exception this time.Olivia had just finalized a cooperative copyright deal with another website company. Several editors from her own company were there at StartReading Literary. As she entered the office, she saw all the editors from StartReading Literary sitting upright, not daring to make a sound.She also saw her office door was wide open. She frowned as she walked into her office and was surprised to see an unexpected gust.Olivia put down the documents in her hand. "Ms. Samford, what brings you here?"With her legs crossed and Susan standing behind her, Cecilia stared at Olivia, who was in front of her.Cecilia sneered and stood up. She ran her fingers along the desk. "StartReading is actually the last place I want to be. I came here because I found out that you enjoy meddling in other people's affairs. Otherwise, you wouldn't even qualify to see me."Olivia instantly looked wary. She remained s

    Liam stood up. He watched as Blake, who looked weary, walked away. "Blake, what do you want me to do so you'll like me?"Blake did not stop walking. Instead, she took even bigger steps and left.She went to the Harper residence, which surprised everyone.Grace asked, "Blake? Why did you come back here? Where's Liam? Why didn't he come back with you?"Blake stuttered, unable to find the words. She just made up an excuse, saying, "It's nothing. I just wanted to come back."After Hannah and Yael left the wedding last night, they went back to the research institute.As for Simon, he went to the farm to manage the business.After Blake went to her room, Grace became worried. She followed her and saw her sitting with a blank expression in the room, not knowing what to do.When Blake saw Grace, she quickly adjusted her mood. "Grace, why are you here?""I came to check on you. Blake, what's wrong? Did you have a fight with Liam? You just had your wedding yesterday, and you're already

    The pregnancy test report came out fifteen minutes after Blake did the test. She was indeed pregnant. She was even seven weeks pregnant.Blake had indeed been involved with Kevin while in Northern Myanmar over a month ago.She held the medical report while standing bewildered in the cold hospital corridor. Lights shone through the floor-to-ceiling window onto her body, but all Blake felt was the cold, which made her hands and feet numb.She was lost in her thoughts. 'I'm really pregnant. What should I do with this baby? I want it to be born more than anyone else. But now, everything has changed. This child shouldn't come into this world.'She wandered in the corridor. Suddenly, she saw someone coming out of another gynecological room.She thought, 'Some things are just destined by fate. When I long to see him, even catching a glimpse of him in a dream feels like a luxury, an unattainable wish. But now, when I don't want to see him, it seems he appears everywhere I go.'Kevin supp

    Blake wondered, 'I'm now pregnant with Kevin's child. What should I do?'She woke up groggily when she felt someone carry her. She opened her heavy eyelids and asked, "What time is it now?"Liam responded, "It's four-thirty in the morning. It's still early; go back to sleep for a while more."Blake said in a hoarse voice, "I've made an appointment for an abortion at eight o'clock. Regardless of whether I'm really pregnant or not, I don't want to keep this child."She had thought about it all night and believed this was the best decision.Kevin was going to get engaged. Blake believed he would get married and Audrey would give birth to his children. There was simply no need for her to complicate things further.She thought, 'If I choose to be selfish and decide to keep this baby, and if people find out about it, my child will be treated as an illegitimate child. I don't even dare to imagine how badly the child will be treated.'If giving birth to the baby will bring it a lifetime
