Chapter 461

When Madeline heard voices, she turned around slowly. Eloise and Sean were looking at her with smiles on their faces.

Despite their smiles, they still could not hide the emotions and uneasiness in their eyes.

It had already come to this, so Madeline did not want to beat around the bush anymore.

“I’m guessing that you already know about it, right?” Madeline asked calmly.

Sean and Eloise were stumped for words. They looked at Madeline in shock after she asked that question.

After a few moments of silence, Eloise said cautiously, “Miss Vera—”

“Miss Vera,” Madeline repeated this name, interrupting Eloise with a smile. “Shouldn’t you be calling me Eveline Montgomery now?”

“…”

“…”

Eloise and Sean’s breaths hitched when they heard that.

They stared blankly at the cute smiling face in front of them. At that moment, tears started pouring out from their eyes.

“Eveline!”

Eloise was crying heavily as she ran over to Madeline emotionally. Her remorseful and apologetic eyes were filled with love and benevolence, enveloping Madeline warmly.

After a while, Eloise reached out a trembling finger and placed it on Madeline’s face gently.

She caressed Madeline’s flawless face gladly as she felt the warm touch on her fingertips. Eloise bit her lip and held her daughter while feeling distressed.

“My child! My baby daughter!” Eloise called out uncontrollably while holding Madeline tightly.

“Eveline, I’ve finally found you. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry!”

She was crying as she apologized, her voice sounding extremely shaky.

Sean’s eyes were red as he walked toward Madeline. He said with a sob, “Child, I’m sorry too. I’m so sorry.”

He apologized sincerely with a sorry gaze.

Sean lifted his hand, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he placed it on top of Madeline’s head before caressing her lovingly.

Madeline was motionless and unperturbed while she was showered by Eloise and Sean’s apology and love. There was no emotion on her face, and it was only her eyelashes that fluttered.

She did not fight them nor did she welcome their hugs. She merely allowed Eloise to hold her and Sean to caress her hair motionlessly. She allowed them to express the love and remorse they felt for Eveline Montgomery that had piled up after so many years.

After a while, Eloise finally released Madeline from her embrace reluctantly after Madeline’s phone started ringing.

She quickly wiped away her tears, her eyes focused on Madeline’s face.

Madeline looked at the caller ID and switched her phone into silent mode.

Eloise then ordered the maids, “Brew some black tea of the highest quality and fetch us some snacks.”

“Yes, Madam.” The maid quickly carried out her orders.

“Eveline, sit down. Let me take a good look at you.” Eloise approached her with tears in her eyes, reaching out her hand to hold Madeline’s. She wanted to pull Madeline to the sofa. However, before she could warm up her daughter’s hands, Madeline pulled away.

Eloise was stunned as she looked at Madeline with a disappointed gaze. “Eveline…”

“I’m leaving soon. Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, you don’t have to entertain me so courteously.”
