Chapter 736
Felipe was walking in. When he saw Madeline, he walked over to her with a soft smile. “Eveline.”
“Why are you back so soon?” Madeline asked with a grin. However, she was looking at Felipe differently now.
“I’m worried about you.” Felipe’s eyes were filled with love. “Lillian just left and you must be feeling sad, so I want to accompany you.”
“Sad? Yeah, I’m devastated.” Madeline smiled superficially. Then, she looked straight at Felipe. “Can you take a walk with me nearby?”
“Of course.” Felipe smiled and nodded. Then, he followed Madeline to the street that was filled with fallen ginkgo leaves.
There was a sudden gust of autumn wind and the yellow ginkgo leaves fluttered down like butterflies before falling to the ground soundlessly.
Felipe noticed that Madeline was not in a good mood, but he understood why.
Lillian was her child who she carried for ten months, and now, she was gone. Perhaps she would need a long time before this pain could heal.
However, since the wound was deep, he believed that Madeline would not give Jeremy any chances.
They stayed silent for some time before Felipe finally said something. “Eveline, you have to stay strong. If Lillian was here, she would want her beloved mommy to be happy and cheerful.”
Madeline chuckled sarcastically. “A lot of people have told me that. They hope I can be happy and cheerful, but the people who said those to me are also the ones causing me pain and misery.”
There was a strange look on Felipe’s face. When he turned to look at Madeline, she stopped walking.
Her clear and beautiful eyes met his ominous ones. “Felipe, do you remember how old Lily is?”
Felipe did not stop to think about it. “About four.”
“Three years, ten months, and twelve days,” Madeline told him an accurate number.
