When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1635

Chapter 1635 A Downright Cruel Reality
Madeline sat alone on the chair, watching as the door swung open before slamming shut and Darren completely disappearing from her line of sight.

Her head throbbed slightly, and the phone in her hand felt as heavy as lead.

Within it was a detailed account of how the Foster family was framed and sabotaged by their rivals back then. Yet, there was no mention of the Faust family.

“Dad, could you have made a mistake?” Madeline muttered to herself. Unfortunately, there was no response forthcoming in the empty room.

She was so exhausted that she didn't know what to do anymore.

All these years, she had hated Darren to the core, only to suddenly learn that she had misunderstood him all along one day. That was a downright cruel reality.

Meanwhile, Darren made a call and ordered an investigation into who exactly the person Haider had met with all those years ago.

Regrettably, too much time had passed, so many things could no longer be unearthed.

Darren lit one cigarette after another, but his mood remained incredibly gloomy.

At some point in time, Amelia tottered out of the room. “Daddy.”

Upon hearing his daughter's voice, Darren quickly stubbed out his cigarette and opened the window. Then, he called for the nanny, hollering, “Aliyah!”

The nanny, Aliyah, promptly came out of the room.

“Boss.”

“Why is my child out here?” Darren's face was a mask of irritation.

Aliyah wore an expression of guilt. “I'm sorry. Amy cried non-stop for her mommy and daddy just now, so I accompanied her out.”

Worried that his daughter might be exposed to the cigarette smoke on him, Darren instructed, “Take her to play with Madeline. Just make sure that Madeline doesn't take her away.”

“Okay.” Aliyah led Amelia away to look for Madeline with a smile.

After the two of them had left, Darren took a shower. Once he had changed into fresh clothes, he went to Madeline's room but stopped outside.

Through the door, he heard Madeline and Amelia's joyful laughter.
