<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After a long search, Cecilia finally learned from the driver that Madeline had headed to the neighboring city.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Unsure of what had happened, she instructed the driver to head there as well.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Charlotte followed and got into the car. “Boss, I’ll apany you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Okay.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">It was good to have someone with her. Lucille stayed at home waiting for their return</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Outside, the rain was pouring down heavily, beating against the car windows. Cecilia and Lucille were both very anxions</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Meanwhile, Madeline clearly wasn’t well–prepared She had only a little money, and that was given to her by Cer paying for the taxi fare and the room, she had very little left.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The baby in her arms cried incessantly, and Madeline couldn’t just leave the child behind, so she had to take the baby with her to buy various necessities.</font></font>N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Baby, don’t cry, please don’t cry…”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Madeline had never taken care of anyone before, let alone a child. No one had taught her how to care for a baby or manage a household.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Her money ran out quickly. She had to stay in the hotel room, trying to soothe the baby.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She was aware that this couldn’t go on. She had to find a job by tomorrow.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">How could a woman with a baby not even a month old find work?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Madeline felt a headacheing on. She questioned why she hadn’t learned anything before.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Boom! A p of thunder sounded.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Madeline jumped, her face turning pale. She instinctively clutched the baby tighter.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When Cecilia found Madeline, it was already nine in the evening.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She knocked on the door. Unprepared, Madeline opened it. Upon seeing Cecilia at the door, she tried to shut it again.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Charlotte quickly blocked the door. “Madeline, what’s wrong with you? You ran away without a word. Do you know how worried we were?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She hadn’t expected to find such an ungrateful person</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia and Charlotte thought something had happened to her and the baby, searching everywhere for her. What about</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Madeline?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Charlotte looked at her and felt that she seemed to be doing well. She even knew to stay in a five–star hotel.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Madeline’s expression turned cold. “Were you worried about me? Or worried about not being able to report back to Darren? Faust</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Darren Faust?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was a bit puzzled. “What do you mean by not being able to report back to Darren? What’s your rtionship with.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Darren?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Madeline’s eyes were filled with confusion. “You don’t know?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia obviously didn’t know. She had met Darren through Nathaniel but didn’t know much about him.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I definitely don’t know,” Cecilia replied slowly, emphasizing each word.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Her eyes turned red. “I’m sorry, Ceci. 1-1 misunderstood you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia didn’t understand what was going on.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What misunderstanding?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Madeline felt that if she continued to hide her identity, she would be utterly heartless.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Actually, my husband isn’t dead. He is Darren Faust.”</font></font>
Charlotte didn’t know who Darren was.
Yet Cecilia knew very well, and now it was her turn to be shocked.
“You and Darren’s wife?”
She had heard that Darren was married, but no one knew who his wife was,
Madeline nodded. “Yes.”
As soon as she said that, Cecilia was even more confused. “Then why did you say your husband was dead? And why did you bring the baby with you!”
Madeline was about to exin, but Charlotte couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“Excuse me,dies, can we go inside to talk?”
1er reasons
Although Charlotte didn’t know who Darren was, she could tell from the situation that Madeline for leaving.
“Okay, let’s go in.” Madeline immediately op
