He stood there in a daze for a few seconds before remembering to introduce himself to her.
“Carle, this is Madilyn. She had a little issue recently, so she came to stay at our house for a few days. ”
Madilyn glanced at him imperceptibly, sitting across from him.
Softly and weakly, she spoke, “You must be Warren’s girlfriend, right? He has mentioned you before. We will be relying on you during this time. By the way, Warren made grilled shrimp, which I love. Why don’t you sit down and have some with us?”
With that, she stood up and gave up the seat opposite, sitting next to Warren, assuming the air of a hostess.
Carissa originally thought it was just Warren’s wishful thinking.
Now it seems that the two of them were equally matched
“You guys go ahead and eat, I’m tired. I’ll go back to the bedroom and rest first.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the bedroom. However, when she saw the scene behind the door, her whole body froze in place.
Chapter 4
A large wedding photo hung on the wall.
Madilyn, wearing a strapless wedding gown, stood closely in front of Warren.
ched, they gazed deeply into each other’s eyes, as if they were a couple deeply in love for many years.
Their noses touched,
At this moment, Warren chased after Carle from the living room and said, “Carie, go rest in the guest bedroom. Madilyn isn’t feeling well, and this room faces the sun, so I decided to let her stay in this room…..”
Halfway through his words, he caught sight of the wedding photo on the wall, and the paused for a moment, before continuing to speak.
“This photo was taken just to appease her family’s pressure for marriage.”
Getting married is helping out, taking wedding photos is just going through the motions.
Warren felt a sudden panic welling up inside him as he saw Carissa’s cold gaze, and he instinctively wanted to reach out and grab her arm.
“Carie, don’t overthink it, I just wanted to…”
The next second, Carissa evaded his touch and said, “Don’t touch me.”
This was the first time in their six years together that Carissa showed such a resistant attitude towards him.
Warren’s heart suddenly skipped a beat
He was about to explain, but Madalyn suddenly burst in, sounding upset and tearful.
“Ms. Solomon, don’t argue with Warren. It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have moved in and bothered you all. I’ll leave right away…
Warren immediately stopped her upon seeing the situation.
“It has nothing to do with you”
Upon hearing this, tears rolled down Madilyn’s checks like broken beads.
“Warren, you have already helped me a lot, I can’t let you get in trouble with Ms. Solomon because of me anymore. Maybe those were destined for me to endure, it’s like the heavens punishing me for any past mistakes and reckless behavior. I have resigned myself to it.”
Her red and tearful eyes, along with her longing gaze, deeply pierced. Warren’s heart.
He comforted her in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one can force you to get married. Carie won’t be angry because of this. You don’t have to go anywhere, just stay here and be at ease.”
Carissa rugged at the corner of her mouth as she looked at the scene in front of her.
“Yeah, why should I be angry? After all, this will be your home in the future.”
She left these words behind and turned around, walking out of the bedroom
Madilyn whimpered in distress, “Is Ms. Solomon still
But this time, Warren did not comfort her.
angry…”
His heart was stirred up by those words, and he disregarded everything to chase after Carissa and grab her wrist.
“What did you
mean by what you just said! What do you mean this is her home? Madilyn was forced into a quarriage by her family and is being harassed by a stranger. 1 just wanted to help her, and you’re also a woman, can’t you understand and sympathize with her? Do you have to be jealous and throw a tantrum at a time like this?”
No sooner had the words been spoken than the sound of glass ! breaking suddenly came from the bedroom
Warren’s face changed, and he abruptly pushed her away and rushed inside.
“Madilyn What were you doing?”
The man’s voice was filled with panic and confusion.
Madilyn knelt on the ground, a bloodstain winding on her wrist, crying her heart out
You don’t have to bother about me anymore, anyway no one in this world cares about me. If I die and it can make Ms. Solomon no longer angry, then I will be content.”
