Chapter 866

By the time the maids finished setting up the birthday celebration, Madelyn had dressed Dalton in a red cotton jacket and a cute little hat with two fluffy balls hanging from it.

One of the maids asked, “Mrs. Jardin, would you like us to call Mr. Jardin to come back?”

Madelyn said without even lifting her head, “There’s no need to disturb him. If you guys are done with the preparations, you can have a rest. I just need Margaret to stay with me.”

After the other maids left, Madelyn placed Dalton down on the carpet, where there were various gifts in front of him. She watched as Dalton crawled toward them, but even after a long while, he just would not take any of them. Instead, he crawled back to Madelyn and grabbed her hand, saying, “Mom…

Madelyn was taken aback.

Margaret then said with a smile, “Oh, look at how much this kid loves you.”

mommy…”

Madelyn’s heart immediately melted as she stroked Dalton’s nose, “Dalton, do you want to stay with Mommy?

“Ah,” Dalton drooled as he said.

Madelyn’s heart sank a little, feeling somewhat depressed.

She knew deep down that she would not stay here in the future, so she steeled herself, removed Dalton’s hand from her finger, and stood up, “Let’s go eat,” she said.

Margaret noticed Madelyn’s change of mood and could not figure out why she would suddenly treat Dalton coldly.

‘Sigh. It’s probably because he’s not her own child. I don’t think any mother would have the heart to do that to her own baby.

‘But then again, although Ms. Jent did not give birth to Dalton, she’s been treating him very well.

‘Not only does she take good care of him, but she also spends a lot of time with him.’ Margaret thought to herself.

As they were about to eat, Mya arrived.

The bodyguards at the door searched Mya, and only let her in after not finding anything unusual.

“Madelyn, what’s going on? Why did the bodyguards search me?”

“I’m sorry. Did they give you a hard time?” Madelyn asked.

Mya was holding a cute pink retro canvas bag on her shoulder as she waved her hand, “Don’t worry, none of them would dare to do that with you around.

“Wow, there’s so much food! I’m going to have a feast today.”

Ever since Mya had come over for dinner previously, the maids had started buying more ingredients just for her, as she would often drop by to have a meal.

After a while, the security came in with several bags and placed them on the table.

“Did you bring something?” Madelyn asked.

Mya nodded. “My dad asked me to bring these to you. There are some supplements like…”

Meanwhile, in the Jardin Corporation, Zach received photos of Madelyn taken in the Jent residence recently.

He had not returned for many days, but she remained just the same, listening to him and staying in the villa.

It was good that she was obeying him, but he still felt a little uneasy somehow.
