“She went to sleep,” Janice replied quickly.
In the past, every time Hunter asked about Leia, Janice would immediately give him an answer. He should have suspected something earlier.
“Mom, are you going to lie to me forever?”
Janice straightened herself. She didn’t have to pretend anymore. “You knew?”
Hunter had a dark look on his face. “Do you remember your promise to me?”
“Hunter, she’s my daughter.”
He closed his eyes. “I’m your son, and Madie is your daughter-in-law. Mom, how could you?”
Hunter tasted something sour in his throat. In the past, he had forced Madison on the path of no return because of his sister. After so many years, he had finally reaped the bitter fruit he sowed.
“Do you know how long I had to take to win Madie’s trust again? Do you know how much effort I spent on it? What will she think of me? Why are you forcing your misfortune on us?”
Janice sighed. “Hunter, my greatest wish right now is for you and Leia to be happy. You’re both dear to me. But I already owe her so much. I…”
“So you’re selling off my happiness just to make up for your regrets?”
After the call ended, Hunter leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette.
The sky had completely turned dark by then. He had no idea what Madison would think of him.
He let out a misty breath, which floated in the cold air.
He had painstakingly obtained this shard of happiness. Was it going to be ruined by someone else again?
“It’s so cold outside. Why didn’t you come in?”
Madison’s gentle voice sounded. At a glance, she spotted the man who was leaning against the wall and smoking.
There was a layer of snow covering him, and his face was surrounded by smoke. He looked extra sad and sullen.
Hunter hastily put out the cigarette. “I—“
But Madison simply took a step forward and embraced him. “I know what you’re thinking. I trust you.”
Hunter had always been clear with his feelings.
Back then, when he hated Madison, he was extremely cold to her.
Now, he had sincerely repented, so he couldn’t have done something so hypocritical.
At least, Madison didn’t blame him for this matter.
“Madie…”
Madison took his hand and raised it.
Then, she gently wiped away the blood on his hand and placed a band-aid on the wound.
“Come on, the children are still waiting for your food.”
Hunter lowered his head, meeting Madison’s gentle gaze.
His heart ached terribly, and he felt extremely remorseful toward her.
He had treated Madison cruelly back then, but she was still willing to stay by his side and let bygones be bygones.
The two interlaced their fingers in the snow as they walked back into the house.
Hunter made the meal while the twins ran around outside.
Willow was herb-imbued since birth, so she had an excellent physique.
However, at that moment, she quietly stayed by Madison’s side.
Madison played chess with Willow.
The room was so quiet that only the sounds of the chess pieces being placed on the board could be heard.
Willow was thoughtful and smart, but she just couldn’t speak.
In the past few years, Madison had asked the best doctors to treat Willow.
She had used every trick in the book.
But in the end, she still couldn’t cure Willow.
Madison was always extra patient when spending time with Willow.
She would play with the child and laugh along with her.
Willow was the youngest child, but she had the steadiest and most mature personality.
Pointing at Hunter in the kitchen, Willow signed, “Mommy, have you made peace with him?”
She remembered that back in the village, Madison was still very cold to Hunter.
But this time, after coming back, the two seemed to be on much better terms with each other.
Madison returned the question, “Do you hope that I can make peace with him?”
Willow placed her last piece.
Even though she had lost, Madison didn’t gain any advantage.
She pointed at the board.
“Life is like chess.”
Losing was winning, and winning meant losing as well.
Madison knew what Willow meant.
Even if she won, she would still suffer huge losses.
Willow changed the placement of one chess piece.
The losing situation turned into a draw.
It was good news for both parties.
“Mommy, I hope that you can make peace with him,”
Willow signed.
Madison looked at Hunter, who had his back to them as he bustled about.
A gentle look appeared in her eyes.
“I’ll think about it.”
But this was on the premise that the conflicts between her and Hunter would be resolved.
If they got married again now, the situation would be the same as before.
Hunter wouldn’t hesitate to choose his family over her, and he would hurt her.
History would repeat itself.
If the conflict between them couldn’t be resolved, it would forever be a thorn in Madison’s flesh.
Sometimes, it didn’t matter how nice his words sounded.
It was only at critical moments that his true self was revealed.
Madison was indeed traumatized by the hurt.
Every time she closed her eyes, she would think of her dark past.
It was so painful that she didn’t dare to bet on anything anymore.
“Darling, it doesn’t matter whether I get married to him again or not.The bonds between us as a family will never change.Just enjoy the moment and don’t think about the future.”
Willow blinked with her large eyes.
She seemed to have understood.
While they were talking, Hunter came out with a serving of fruit salad.
It was made of Willow’s favorite fruits.
Then, he placed the fried chicken and fries on the table.
He stood at the entrance and called out to the twins, “Zack, Alicia, that’s enough.Wash your hands and get ready for dinner.”
“Alright, Daddy.”
It was night, and it was snowing heavily outside.
Still, the atmosphere in the house was extremely warm.
Unlike his sternness when dealing with Connor, Hunter was like a loving father now.
He pampered the children very much.
Under the dim yellow lights, Hunter’s cold and handsome face looked extra gentle as well.
Madison had never seen Hunter like this before.
It was the scene she had fantasized about when she had just gotten married.
She didn’t expect Hunter to be this gentle when he was playing the role of a father.
He made meals for the children and played with them.
He would even tell Willow stories as he put the children to sleep.
By the time Hunter returned to the master bedroom, Madison had already finished washing up.
She was wiping her face at the dressing table.
Hunter hugged her from behind, saying intimately in her ear, “Give me a moment.I’ll go shower.”
Madison turned around, her fair arms wrapping around his neck as she moved her lips closer.
“It’s okay.”
Hunter held her waist with one hand as he placed his other hand on the dressing table.
His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing the contours of his firm forearms.
Two buttons on his shirt collar were undone, so his tempting collarbone could be spotted right away.
His hair wasn’t brushed back.
Instead, strands of his hair were drooping a little, and he looked extremely gentle.
“Madie, I just cooked.I have an odor on me—“
He had always been particular about cleanliness, but Madison kissed him deeply.
