NovelEnglishMadelyn asked, "Did you hear what | said?" Zach casually glanced at her, "No need." Madelyn responded, "What do you mean by 'no need'? | have no experience in raising a child. If something happens, we won't be able to handle it." Zach sat and looked at her, "I believe you'll do well. You can always learn from books if there's anything you don't know." Madelyn was displeased, "I don't have the time to take care of a child." Zach suddenly raised his hand to stroke Madelyn's long hair as if he were rewarding her, "You wanted to live an ordinary life, right? So, why not consider this our family? With me around, no one will dare say anything. You can do whatever you want. And this child will always be with us... Our first child." Madelyn looked at Zach as if he were insane, "Is this another one of your games? "You can fool yourself, but | can't. And | don't want to play this kind of game with you. Don't forget, you're already married. We aren't allowed to do this.
"If you want a child, many people are willing to bear your child.
"You wanted me to raise this child, and | only accepted it because | couldn't refuse. You forced me to do it." Madelyn thought, "What's wrong with him? All of this is fake. And yet, he said this is our family. He's already married to Yvonne.

An indescribable, chilling expression was shown on his face, "Even if you don't accept it, you will." He got up and said in a cold voice, "I'm going to take a shower now. Before | come out, make sure the baby is soothed.” Zach then went to the bathroom outside the living room.
Madelyn gloomily looked at the child. The baby was already very sleepy, yet he kept staring at her with big eyes. When their eyes met, he squinted and let out a laugh.
She thought, 'In my past life, did he do this with Cecilia too? Did they have a family behind my back?" Before Madelyn passed away in her previous life, she never knew about the child that Cecilia was holding.
She felt like her current situation was the same as the situation she was in during her previous life.
The oppression of being unable to escape and being forced to accept this situation made Madelyn feel suffocated.
"Sleep." Madelyn gently patted the baby's chest, saying, "It'll be better tomorrow." This sentence seemed like she was comforting him and herself at the same time.
Half an hour later, Zach came out of the bathroom. He carried Madelyn to the adjacent visitor's room.
Madelyn closed her eyes while he performed the sexual act, waiting for him to finish...

She did not dare to go out. It sounded like they were having a meeting outside. Cecilia's voice was powerful and articulate.
Zach's sentences were confident as he agreed with what she said.
These voices deeply affected Madelyn emotionally. She did not understand what they were discussing; she was only good at painting.
She could imagine how Cecilia shone in front of everyone without going outside. Madelyn had to admit that Cecilia was indeed outstanding. Even when they looked at each other, Cecilia's confidence made Madelyn feel ashamed. The way Cecilia looked at others seemed to imply that everyone else was inferior.
Madelyn did not know when the meeting would end.
The meeting went on for about an hour. During that whole time, Madelyn was sitting on the couch in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought.
Zach closed the file in his hand when the meeting was almost over. He then raised his wrist to check the time and said, "That's it for today. The meeting ends now." Other than Cecilia, there was also a group of advisers comprising five people.
