?Chapter 843:


    Once free of her burden, Norah smiled. The forest seemed like an ideal ce to hide bodies.


    When Marlin was thrown into the cave, his head collided with a rock. He lost consciousness immediately.


    At the mour Club…


    “Jaxson, it’s been ages. How long are you nning to stay?” Amabel, with delicate makeup and a sweet smile, spoke to a man in an overly sweet tone.


    The attractive man sitting on the couch smiled in return. “I’ll be around for a while.”


    His strong nose bridge and amber eyes, catching the colorful reflections of the room, highlighted his sharp features. A distinctive mole under his right eye added a peculiar charm to his appearance. Dressed in a white shirt, he sat with his long legs crossed on the small table, exuding an air of elegance and danger.


    The private room was filled with young adults from wealthy families. There were Bryson and Joanna from the Andrews family, Amabel, and Spencer from the Morris family, Kaiden from the Hayes family, and Brigid and Luka from the Alvarado family. Even Madeline was present.


    Joanna nced at Madeline and, with a tone of arrogance, asked, “What are you doing here? You’re not wee.”


    Madeline’s eyes welled up, and in a soft voice, she replied, “I haven’t seen Jaxson in so long. I heard he was throwing a party, so I came to see him.”


    She was dressed in a long white dress and an off-white sweater that loosely draped over her pregnant belly.


    gα?ησν????s takes you on a journey


    Jaxson, surprised, looked her way. “Madeline, are you pregnant?” Having just returned to Glophia, he was unaware of recent events.


    In his memory, Madeline and Derek had been a perfect match. After they broke up, Derek moved on and married someone else. Although Jaxson rarely visited Glophia, he had been updated on these matters.


    He straightened up and asked, “Did this happen while you were abroad?”


    The room fell silent. Everyone’s gaze turned to Madeline, their smiles tinged with mockery. They were all too familiar with her story.


    Madeline bit her lip, a shy smile forming on her face. “I’m pregnant with Derek’s child. We got married two months ago. You were still away, so we didn’t send you an invite.” Madeline omitted the specifics, such as the reasons she had returned from overseas and why she remarried Derek.


    “What a pity to miss your wedding,” Jaxson remarked, though his tonecked emotion.


    Feeling awkward, Madeline looked down and managed a smile. “You’re invited to the Sip and See party. We’d love to have you there.”
