When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1831

Chapter 1831 Take It Slow
Originally, everything was wonderful.

After the two became engaged, Madeline spent most of her time visiting Darren at Faust Group in addition to attending university.

During that period, Darren wasn't exactly warm toward her, and his demeanor was rather indifferent.

To outsiders, Madeline appeared to be having a one-sided crush on him.

After she graduated, both sets of parents discussed their marriage. Everything seemed to fall into place naturally.

However, not long before their wedding, the Foster family suddenly went bankrupt with no warning signs, and tragically, both her parents passed away soon after.

Madeline suffered an unprecedented blow to the extent that she was left speechless.

Darren had brought her into the Faust residence after marriage. However, on their wedding night, he had said some things that left her heartbroken.

Ever since that incident, Madeline completely ignored Darren.

The two individuals bore a resemblance to a married couple, yet they did not at the same time.

The moment Madeline thought of those incidents, she withdrew her hand again.

Darren's hand was left empty. He looked at her, somewhat puzzled, “What's wrong?”

Madeline clenched her hand. “It's nothing.”

She continued to turn her back, not wanting to lay her eyes on Darren.

For some reason, perhaps because she had been alone for too long, she was finding it difficult to adjust to Darren's kindness.

Darren's gaze dimmed when he saw that.

Then, Madeline said, “Let's take it slow.”

After hearing that, Darren smiled. “All right. Take your time.”

The fact that Madeline was willing to say that was already a significant compromise on her part.

When they returned home, they saw Monica and Richard playing with Amelia.

Madeline nodded.

“Normally, it's not our place as elders to interfere in the matters between you and Darren. However, I believe there are some things I need to discuss with you.”

“Go ahead.” Madeline always treated Monica with the utmost respect.

After a moment of hesitation, Monica continued, “Darren is our only son, so Amy can't be your only child. Your father and I would like you two to consider having a second child.”

Madeline blinked, stunned.

She had never considered having another child.

Seeing her reluctance, Monica continued, “I know there have been some disagreements between you and Darren, but what I need to tell you is that Darren truly loves you. Did you think you could join the Faust family simply because of your family background?”

Madeline didn't understand what Monica was saying and looked at her with confusion. It wasn't a marriage alliance?

Monica continued, “Back then, Darren insisted on marrying you, practically forcing us to come to your home to propose.”
