When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1832

Chapter 1832 I Thought You Loved My Son
Madeline couldn't believe it.

In her understanding, Darren was rather indifferent toward her. He wasn't particularly fond of her, but it also couldn't be said that he disliked her.

Especially at the beginning, Darren barely whispered any sweet nothings to her. He didn't confess his feelings, let alone showered her with gifts or tokens of affection like others did when they were in love.

As such, Madeline was skeptical of what Monica said, which the latter could tell.

Monica sighed and explained, “Maddie, there's no reason for me to lie about something like this. Just think about it, your family went bankrupt, and your parents passed away. Technically, my family could have easily called off the engagement. Or rather, we could have backed out of it.”

Madeline tightened her hand.

Monica continued, “If we proceeded this way, though it would be a blow to our reputation, it would be more beneficial for the Faust family. However, Darren wouldn't allow it. He was adamant about marrying you. Your father and I really couldn't control him, so we had no choice but to let him marry you. However, during that period, he was truly under immense pressure, even resorting to prolonged kneeling.”

Madeline had never imagined that Darren would actually kneel to marry her.

She lowered her gaze, unable to lift it for a long time. “I...”

Monica held her hand. “To be honest, up until now, I've not been entirely satisfied with you as my daughter-in-law. However, my son is very fond of you. As his mother, I must love what he loves.”

Even though Monica's hand was clearly cold, Madeline felt it was scorching.

She was somewhat unable to bear the words said by Monica. “Why didn't you mention these matters to me before?”

Monica would have preferred if her son was hurt by Madeline all at once and then slowly healed rather than enduring long-term pain.

Madeline didn't remain silent anymore. She nodded heavily. “I've made up my mind. I will start over with him again.”

The weight on Monica's heart finally lifted at that moment.

A smile graced her face as she said, “Thank you.”

As a mother, Madeline could empathize with Monica's actions for her son.
