When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1830 Darren And Madeline

Everyone chatted for a bit, but out of fear of disturbing Cecilia and Queenie's rest, they each bid farewell to Cecilia and left.

When they left, they did so in pairs.

Sven and Charlotte were holding hands together.

Mason and Lucille were arm in arm as well. Mason even shared some great news with everyone, which was that Lucille was pregnant.

Only Madeline and Darren seemed quite distant among the three groups, maintaining a gap even as they walked away.

Darren observed everything, feeling quite displeased. However, he couldn't afford to show it in front of so many people.

When he was about to leave, Zachary held him back. “Darren, I'm going to have a baby soon, too."

Darren said, "Oh. Well, my little Amy is almost two years old now."

Zachary said nothing for a moment, then boasted, "So what? My daughter will definitely be more beautiful than yours in the future."

Darren rolled his eyes. "You're not even sure if your child is a girl yet."

Zachary was once again at a loss for words. Fair. It's not like I can will my unborn child into a daughter. Nathaniel wanted a daughter, but all four of his children are sons. These things are truly up to fate.

Seeing Madeline about to walk away, Darren couldn't be bothered to engage in idle chatter with Zachary anymore. "I'm done talking to you."

He quickly caught up with Madeline. "Why are you walking so fast?"

Pausing momentarily, Madeline continued walking as she replied, "You never asked me to wait for you."

Darren felt somewhat resigned.

He looked ahead at Sven and Charlotte, as well as Lucille and Mason.

Those pairs of couples seemed particularly harmonious and joyful.

Even though Darren and Madeline hadn't brought up the divorce again, their relationship still seemed pretty cold.

Darren realized that he had misunderstood the situation between Madeline and Calvin last time. As he was walking toward the car, he reached out and held Madeline's hand.

Madeline's hand stiffened. She halted, looking up at him with a hint of disbelief. "What are you doing?"

"Let's hold hands," Darren suggested as a matter of course.

Madeline attempted to pull her hand away, but he held it firmly in his grasp.

"Since we're not getting a divorce, can we stay together happily now on?" He lowered his voice,

fearing that Madeline woule Se

reject

him outright.

Upon hearing that, Madeline remained in silent for a long while.

She didn't respond, nor did she resist when Darren took her hand.

Sitting in the car, Darren gently rubbed the palm of her hand. "Do you know? Lately, I've been dreaming of our past."

Madeline turned her head to the side. "Mhm."

There were times when she would reminisce about the past, back when her parents were still alive and she was still young.

Back then, she was just a wild young girl, always found trailing behind Darren.noveldrama

Darren was four or five years older than her. He was strikingly handsome with a reserved demeanor, which made him quite popular among girls his age.

Madeline had a secret crush on him, too. To prevent him from being with someone else, she even involved her parents. She persuaded them to visit the Faust residence, securing an arranged marriage agreement.

She still remembered when she nearly drove her father mad from anger.

Then, she also ended up kneeling outside her house for a good part of the day.

She had always assumed that her feelings for Darren were unrequited,

a one-sided love affair. However, to her surprise, she discovered that Darren also had feelings for her.

After Madeline started university, Darren's parents discussed the marriage arrangement between their families with her parents.

That day, she felt like she was in a dream, and her parents were similarly in disbelief.

After all, Darren was an exceptional individual. By and large, the Faust family was significantly more powerful than the Foster family

Naturally, Madeline's parents were more than happy to agree to such a nice marriage.
