Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 384

Reading this warmed Lucius's heart.

Even after the boy had treated her so poorly and nearly left her paralyzed for life, she was still willing to reserve a portion of her premarital assets for him.

In the end, she had forgiven the child. Her heart was pure, and she held no grudges.

"No objections."

Tessa felt half her tension evaporate. She had expected a brutal battle, but on the most critical financial front, Lucius was willing to shoulder everything, leaving the child with only Madeline's premarital assets.

Lucius surprisingly had no complaints.

Tessa slid the final sheet of paper forward.

"Article 3: Regarding visitation rights for the minor, Leo Whitman, the mother retains legal visitation rights. Both parties agree to the following schedule: provided it does not interfere with the child's daily life and education, the mother shall visit the child twice a month. The father must not be present during these visits; instead, the father shall arrange a driver to coordinate with the mother."

Lucius read it and fell into deep thought.

He knew Madeline was already with Quentin, and judging by the asset division, they were likely already married.

They just hadn't announced it yet.

Quentin probably wanted to give her a grand wedding, which was why he hadn't publicly declared her as his wife, instead opting for the title of fiancée.

Although it brought him immense pain, Lucius knew it was the reality.

The reason he wasn't allowed to be present was simply because Quentin wouldn't allow it.

Of course, he wanted to be there, to see Madeline, perhaps even speak to her, but he knew she would never accept it.

After a long silence, Lucius picked up a pen and added a single line: "The child is still young. Until he reaches the age of 10, each visitation must last no less than two days."

Tessa picked up the paper and looked at it.

She was slightly surprised.

Most custodial parents wanted to monopolize the child and avoid any contact with the non-custodial parent.

But Lucius was insisting that while he didn't need to be present, it couldn't just be a fleeting visit—she had to spend adequate one-on-one time with the child.

She had to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother.

Madeline read the addition and nodded.

She would set aside two days, twice a month, to spend with the boy.

After all, he was her child.

She just hadn't discussed this specific detail with Quentin beforehand, though she wasn't particularly worried. She would tell him tonight.

Tessa and the opposing counsel verified and amended the details before finalizing the agreement.

Madeline signed her name with elegant strokes.

Then, Lucius signed as well.

The agreement was notarized, making it legally binding.

Madeline exchanged a few words with Leo, mostly asking about his meals. Leo had previously suffered from pica, but it seemed he hadn't had an episode recently.

After wrapping up, she prepared to leave. Leo asked, "Mommy, where are you going?"

"Mommy has to go work on her business," Madeline replied.

Leo understood. "Like Daddy? Managing a lot of people?"
