Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342 

Arthur was quite brazen. He didn’t even care if someone would report him for engaging in shady dealings. 

Arthur was visiting, so I couldn’t go in there. But I didn’t want to go to Ellie’s ward either, so I wandered into the hospital’s little garden. 

“Miss, can you play ball with me?” I hadn’t been sitting on the bench for long when a little girl of about three or four years old ran over, looking at me with eager eyes. 

Honestly, I didn’t want to play, but faced with those eyes, I couldn’t refuse. “Alright.” 

I thought I’d humor her for a bit and then be done with it. But as we played, I started thinking about the times when I was little and how my parents used to play ball with me. 

“Madeline, you’re a bit clumsy.” 

“Madeline, you got hit again.” 

“Madeline…” 

I was the young girl’s playmate, yet I was still being criticized. How ridiculous! But, honestly, was having a great time. 

“Tiffany!” 

With that call, the girl stopped in her tracks. 

I saw a beautiful woman dressed in a tube top and long pants. 

“Mommy, I’m playing with Madeline.” The girl brushed back her hair that had gotten messy from running around. 

“Tiffany, Daddy’s done with work. We need to go,” the woman called to her. 

Tiffany pouted. “No, I want to play a little longer, just a little longer.” 

“No, if we’re late, Daddy won’t wait for us.” The woman walked over, swaying on her seven–inch stilettos. 

Watching her walk like that, I was a bit worried. The grass was so soft, and if she lost her balance, she could fall. 

But she was confident enough to wear them, making her way steadily to where Tiffany and I were. 

She ignored me and went straight to her daughter, saying, “Come on. Let’s go! You’re getting more and more difficult to deal with as you get older.”
