Chapter 759

The driver turned on the heater in the car, and the cold air immediately disappeared.

“You don’t need to know about that.”

“So, you admit you have something to do with it, huh?”

Zach remained silent.

Madelyn lifted her head and finally looked at him, “Why are you being quiet? Are you admitting it?”

Her tone made Zach feel like she was standing on the Arnold family’s side.

He extended his arm, intending to touch her hair, but she moved away.

He put down his hand.

“Knowing anything about this is not going to do you any good. Just stay out of it.” Zach shifted the subject, “We’ll get the paperwork done for this kid in a few days.”

Madelyn became more certain of her assumptions upon seeing how dismissive he was, “Why won’t you admit that you killed Mrs. Arnold Sr.? Zach, murdering is illegal; you could be put in jail or even punished by the death penalty!”

“Are you worried about me?” Zach asked.

Madelyn looked helpless, “This is not the point! Murdering someone…’

“Madelyn!” Zach cut her off.

Madelyn stopped speaking.

Zach stared at her with his piercing eyes, “You’ve spent more than twenty years living in the Jent family, but how well do you think you know know your father?

“I’m not telling you certain things for your own good, so stop asking so many questions. If anything happens to me, I’ll still protect you.’

Madelyn’s pupils contracted as her heart raced.

She had not expected that something Zach casually said would affect her this much.

Because…

Zach would never say anything like this in her past life.

Anyone related to the Jent family was guilty of something. Except for her…

Madelyn was a sheltered flower, away from the wicked world. And Zach did all those things to make sure she stayed that way.

She did not have to do anything, just be with him.

The sky was already dark when they returned to the Southern Haven Villas. Rain poured down during their journey back home. So, Zach exited the car first, held an umbrella over Madelyn, who was holding the baby, and walked them into the house.

Then, the rain got even heavier.

After getting inside, Madelyn took some medicine and fed them to the baby. The reason why Dalton vomited was that Margaret had fed him too much breast milk.

Zach would have someone send some fresh breast milk over every day. And Margaret was the one who took care of Dalton most of the time.

Whenever Zach had some free time, he would force Madelyn to engage in some “couples’ workout”

with him.

He even purposely brought her to a fancy hotel once, and they spent the night there together.

After over half a month, Dalton was no longer as skinny as he had been when he first got adopted. He even gained some weight, nourishing his fair and smooth skin. He now had chubby cheeks that made him look extremely adorable. Also, his huge, sparkling eyes looked just like the stars shining in the night sky.

Madelyn crouched beside the sofa and carefully fed him the medicine with a spoon.

Dalton was very obedient and had never cried or thrown a tantrum in front of Madelyn.

As time passed, he became even more attached to her.

Margaret came out of the kitchen with a plate of food and placed it on the table, “Ms. Jent, you should eat now. I’ll feed the child. Here, the food’s ready.”

“It’s okay. I’ll do it.”

“Dalton,” Madelyn called the baby’s name.

“Ah… ah… du-du-du…”
