Chapter 655

An unfamiliar heat rushed past every cell in Daniel’s body. Even his heartbeat and breathing had lost their normal regularity.

“Mm…”

Ava did not know that she had kissed Daniel’s lips and murmured uncomfortably. She looked for a comfortable posture, turned her face, and lay on Daniel’s body before continuing to sleep.

“Maddie, listen to me, don’t ever be stupid again.

“You were… really such an idiot. You only had that scumbag Jeremy in your eyes. You couldn’t even see the handsome, gentle, kind, and outstanding Dan…

“Do you know how much I envy you, Maddie? Aren’t you curious why I haven’t found a boyfriend? It’s because… Because all this while, I’ve liked Dan, but Dan only has you in his heart…”

Hearing the drunk Ava spitting out the truth at the moment, Daniel looked down at the sleeping girl lying on his chest in shock.

She was very drunk and her cheeks were abnormally rosy. Beneath her delicate and willowy eyebrows, the woman’s thick eyelashes fluttered from time to time. Her tiny mouth was still muttering drunken words. She kept on repeating what she had told Madeline and that she liked him.

Daniel listened motionlessly, his thoughts a mess.

He really never realized that Ava had a crush on him.

He did not even think that a girl with a cheerful personality and who loved to laugh like Ava would like a dull and boring man like him.

However, her words had turned him into a handsome, gentle, kind, and outstanding man.

Daniel did not know how long he maintained his posture before he cautiously helped Ava, who had already fallen asleep, up.

He carried her to the bed and lay her down, then gently covered her with a blanket.

Looking at the girl who was still muttering in her sleep, Daniel smiled faintly with a soft gaze.

“Goodnight and sweet dreams.”

…

Madeline was walking around Glendale University but still could not recall the memories she had made here.

She went back to Montgomery Manor, and Eloise told her that her children were already asleep.

Madeline called Felipe and told him she would be staying over with her two children at Montgomery Manor, then she went to take a shower.

She wore her pajamas and went to her children’s room afterward.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and her entering the room, Jackson lifted his blanket and got out of the bed.

“Jack? Why aren’t you asleep yet? What about your sister?”

“Lily’s already asleep, but I wanted to wait for Mommy to come back.” Jackson walked toward her, his big eyes filled with distressed tears.

Madeline knelt down and hugged Jackson. The little guy leaned into her embrace. “Mommy, Jackson hasn’t seen you for almost a hundred days.

“Does Mommy not want me anymore now that you have Lily?”

Hearing the little guy’s words, Madeline’s heart suddenly became sour while the corners of her eyes started to get wet.

“Silly, how could I not want Jack? You and Lily are both my treasures.”

“But why is Lily’s dad not my dad? Didn’t Granny say we’re real siblings?”

Madeline did not know how to answer for a moment.

Jackson looked a lot like Jeremy, so there was no doubt he was Jeremy’s and hers.

On the other hand, Lily looked like her and she only remembered Felipe telling her that Lily was their daughter.

“Mommy, Mommy.”

Madeline returned to her senses upon hearing Jack’s cries.

“Jack, I promise you that I’ll be with you forever. I’ll never leave you alone.” Madeline promised solemnly.

Jackson blinked his clear, big eyes and nodded. “Mom, you have to keep your promise. You can’t leave me alone.”

“Okay.”

Madeline stretched out her finger and hooked it with Jackson’s.

Only then did the little guy go to sleep at ease.

Madeline immediately lay down beside the two little babies, but she could not get rid of the words she saw in the notebook from her mind even after a long time.
