Chapter 1123
Madeline said this so that Lillian could face the issue of Jeremy being her birth father squarely.
Of course, if she was able to make Lillian talk, then it would be amazing.
“Lily, do you understand what I’m saying?” Madeline asked patiently.
Lillian blinked her huge eyes as if she understood. Then, she kicked her short legs and walked back to the living room.
She looked at Jeremy, her bright eyes reflecting Jeremy’s figure.
“Lily, the handsome mister is your real daddy,” Madeline repeated once more.
She did not know if Lillian could understand her, but at least she saw a twinkle in the little girl’s eyes.
Perhaps to make Lillian talk again and heal her trauma, she might need to do more than just counseling.
After the children went back to their rooms, so did Madeline and Jeremy.
Jeremy went into the bathroom to shower while Madeline went to prepare for the divorce procedure.
At this moment, Ryan called her.
Madeline answered without hesitation. “Rye, is there something wrong?”
On the other end of the phone, Ryan said in a gentle tone, “I went back to my parents’ place for my documents and they were mad after they found out we’re getting a divorce. They might call you, but it’s okay if you choose not to answer.”
After she heard that, Madeline felt apologetic. “I’m sorry, Rye. You’re such an exceptional person, but now you’ll have the label of a divorcee because of me.”
Ryan replied calmly, “Actually, I’m happy that I was able to have this fake marriage with you.”
From his words, she could sense his fondness and admiration for her.
Madeline stayed silent for a few minutes before saying, “Rye, I appreciate you so much. You’ll meet someone better than me…”
Before Madeline could finish, she felt a wet hand holding her chin all of a sudden.
She was then forced to turn her head. In the next moment, she felt Jeremy’s lips pressing down on hers.
