Chapter 459
Even though the car window was closed, Madeline could clearly hear that Eloise’s voice was shaking.
Eloise was obviously trying to suppress some kind of emotions, and Madeline already knew what emotion that was.
Knock, knock, knock.
Eloise knocked on the window again lightly.
She did not dare to use too much force. She was scared that Madeline would be upset, but at the same time, she was scared that Madeline would ignore her.
“Miss Vera, Vera…”
Eloise called out to her. Suddenly, with a click, Madeline unbuckled her seatbelt.
When they saw that Madeline was finally getting out of the car, Eloise and Sean’s faces lit up with joy.
Madeline opened the door and finally got out.
Looking at their wet and longing eyes, Madeline looked at them calmly. “Is Jack in his room?” she asked flatly.
Eloise and Sean looked at her intensely and nodded. “He’s in his room!”
“Got it,” Madeline said and turned around without saying another word more.
When they saw Madeline walking in through the door, Eloise and Sean looked at her departing back while feeling dispirited. They started sobbing in devastation. “Eveline…”
Madeline could feel the heated eyes behind her back, but she walked away without turning back.
The physical and emotional pain from before resurfaced again in her mind.
She forced herself to not think about them, but she could not stop the pain that was slowly spreading all over her body.
