Madeline and Jeremy followed Fabian to the door of Lillian’s room. Before they walked in, the couple heard Fabian’s gentle and coaxing voice coming from the room.
“What’s wrong, Lily? You can’t sleep?“
Fabian asked very gently, and Madeline and Jeremy saw their baby princess nodding slightly.
Fabian was very patient, and he took a storybook from the shelf on the side. “Well then, Lily, be a good girl and close your eyes. I will tell you a story.“
Lillian liked Fabian’s suggestion.
The little girl obediently nodded her head and closed her eyes.
Fabian then sat down on the side of the bed and softly read from the storybook and patiently…
As they watched this scene, Madeline and Jeremy felt warmth in their hearts.
They did not continue to peek, and the two turned back to the guest room.
After returning to the bedroom, Madeline lay down on the bed tiredly. She had been exhausted for the past few days, but now, she was finally relieved.
The entanglement with Carter could finally come to a n end. The person she was worried about the most at the present was Lillian.
This child was still a baby, yet she had already experienced and endured too much pain and torture for her age.
Jeremy, who had already sensed Madeline’s emotions, approached Madeline, lay down, and stretched out his broad arms to hold Madeline.
Inhaling the scent coming from Jeremy’s body, Madeline closed her eyes with peace of mind, indulging in the steadfast warmth.
“Linnie, our little princess will definitely grow up healthily. Don’t worry too much. Blessed are the good men.“
“Jeremy.“ Madeline embraced Jeremy with yearning. She closed her eyes and leaned on him while feeling a t ease. “Don’t take any more risks. Promise me.“
Knowing that Madeline was worried about him, Jeremy promised without hesitation, “I promise. “
After getting this answer, Madeline was obviously relieved.
A while later, she fell asleep peacefully in Jeremy’s arms.
Jeremy looked at Madeline tenderly for a long time before he bowed his head and kissed her between her brows. He then carefully withdrew his hand and let Madeline lie down comfortably.
Jeremy then got up and walked toward the door. At the same time, Fabian came out of Lillian’s room.
After seeing Jeremy, Fabian walked toward him very calmly and magnanimously.
