Chapter 1070

The way she spoke was seductive, and she acted coquettishly to Jeremy.

Jeremy retracted his thoughts and saw Lana’s expectant look. He promised her, saying, “Lana, I promise that tomorrow will be the most memorable day of your life.”

After receiving that response, Lana felt as if she was on cloud nine. Her heart fluttered happily.

At that moment, Madeline was still at Whitman Manor.

Lillian and Jackson seemed to be in a bad mood. Madeline could guess why the siblings were sad. It was because they still could not get the cold-blooded indifference Jeremy displayed earlier out of their minds. The same went to her as well.

Not long after, Ryan came to Whitman Manor.

Madeline said that Jackson and Lillian were in a bad mood, so she asked if she could spend more time with them.

Ryan was very reasonable and told Madeline that she could stay with the children at the Whitmans’.

It was a good thing for him because he had been trying to come up with a good reason for Madeline to stay at the Whitmans’ for the next two days.

After Ryan left Whitman Manor, he sat in the car and made a phone call. “Arrange Team A to stay near Whitman Manor these next two days to ensure the safety of the family.”

The other party immediately followed the instructions after receiving them.

Since the children were in a bad mood, Madeline personally made dinner for them. She saw that they had finished the food and were playing together now. Later, she took the two children back to the room to take a bath. They soon fell asleep after washing up.

Even though Jackson was lying on the bed, he did not close his eyes even after a long time. The little guy looked at Madeline with a trace of worry in his innocent eyes. “Mommy, will Daddy ever come back? Does Daddy really not want us anymore?”

Madeline was taken aback, but she smiled and soothed him. “Jack, don’t you like Uncle Ryan?”

“He’s just an uncle, not my daddy. I want my own daddy.”

These words cut through Madeline’s heart, and she felt helpless. However, she continued smiling. “Silly boy, of course you’ll only have one daddy for the rest of your life. He’ll be back. Don’t let that little head of yours think too much. Come, let’s go to sleep now.”

“Really? Is Daddy really going to come back?”

“Yeah.” Madeline nodded. “Daddy will definitely be back.”

After getting the promise from Madeline, the little guy closed his eyes with peace of mind.

Madeline kissed Jackson on the cheek and turned to look at Lillian who was already fast asleep.

When she thought about the cheerful and innocent child ending up becoming a mute who did not speak, it felt as if invisible drops of blood that no one else could see were bleeding from her heart.

When Madeline closed the door and was about to have some quiet time by herself, she suddenly received a call from Ava.

When Madeline heard how sad Ava sounded, she did not hesitate and immediately went to look for her.

However, when she drove there, she felt as if a car was following her.

After she parked the car, she wanted to look around to make sure, but when she looked up, she saw Ava standing on the shore next to Glendale Bridge with a sorrowful look.

Worried that something was going on with Ava, Madeline hurried over.

As soon as she saw Madeline, Ava hugged her tightly. Her voice trembled as she said, “Maddie, the reason I asked you to come is for me to say goodbye to you.”

“Goodbye?” Madeline quickly let go of her. She saw how red Ava’s eyes looked, as if she was holding back her tears. “Ava, why do you want to say goodbye to me? Where are you going?”

“I’m moving to Y Country,” Ava answered simply.

“Moving to Y Country? Why? Is it for work?” Madeline squeezed Ava’s hand and was reluctant to let go of her.

Ava shook her head and did not explain. She just looked at Madeline with tears and red eyes. “Maddie, you’re my bestest friend in Glendale. I wish I never had to leave you, but my flight is tomorrow.

Everything happened too fast, so I didn’t have time to get you anything. But I have this.”
