Chapter 17
Neville gave Ryan a cold glance, his eyes like a sharp knife.
Ryan was already used to it. “Neville, if you still like her, go after her. When a woman mentions divorce, it’s just to make a man focus on her.”
Anger surged in Neville’s chest. Madison used to be inseparable from him, but now she was with Ross.
He thought, ‘She wants me to like her? Is she worth it?”
He said coldly. “I would rather like dogs than Madison”
Dogs were more docile than her. Neville hated trouble, but Madison had repeatedly challenged his patience.
Madison, thinking she had forgotten the backup of the bid proposal in Ryan’s office, turned back. Unexpectedly, she heard Neville’s words just around the corner.
Even though she had given up on Neville, hearing his sarcastic remarks still stung.
It turned out that Madison, who had managed everything well in the family, was not as favorable as a dog in the family.
She suddenly lost the mood to get back the files and turned to leave.
Knowing that Madison was in a bad mood, Ross took her to a fancy restaurant
Once in the private room, he ordered all the dishes Madison liked.
Madison frowned and asked, “Ross, did you win the lottery!”
He usually spent money on flirting with girls, often noting that cash should be spent on the things that mattered.
Ross laughed. “I noticed you’ve lost weight lately, so I wanted to treat you well. By the way, do I still have a chance?”
Madison coldly replied, “Speak normally
Tm acting on someone’s behalf.
He wouldn’t dare to tease Madison, especially after she had once beaten him up.
Just as Madison was about to ask further, Ross clapped his hands, and a waiter entered with a colorful gift box.
Ross raised his chin toward Madison and said. This is a surprise for you. Open it
Madison walked over suspiciously. As soon as she untied the ribbons on the gift box, a little guy popped out.
Jeremy Guzman, with a face resembling Neville’s, looked at Ross coldly, as if accusing him of a foolish entrance.
Madison was surprised to see her son. It had been a while since they last met.
She laughed, pinching Jeremy’s tender cheeks. “Jeremy, you seem to have become more handsome. Have you missed me lately?”
Jeremy raised his eyes to look at her, “Madison, I told you to take care of yourself. Why did you lose weight again?”
Madison hugged her son and kissed him. “Because I missed you too much.”
Although Jeremy looked disdainful, he obediently sat in her lap
At this moment, Jeremy’s nanny, Ariel Cole, called and said, “Miss Guzman, I’m sorry, Jeremy has disappeared again.”

Madison immediately understood that Jeremy had run off by himself again. It wasn’t the first he had done this. He always managed to clude the nanny and butler and went to wherever he wanted.
“Ariel, Jeremy is with me.”
Ariel sighed in relief. “No wonder Jeremy has been talking to Mr. Castro lately. It turns out he was inquiring about your whereabouts.”
Undoubtedly. Jeremy’s successful escape was related to Ross.
Madison glared at Ross, planning to send Jeremy back tonight. However, when she met her son’s eyes, she changed her mind. Til send him back tomorrow.”
Jeremy knew that he could spend the whole night with Madison, and he felt happy and smiled.
After hanging up the phone, Madison said seriously, Jeremy, I warned you not to run around and report to Ariel whenever you want to go somewhere.”
She knew Jeremy was intelligent, but he was just a five–year–old child. No matter how capable he was at solving problems, she would worry.
Jeremy casually responded. I know”
Madison saw his indifferent look and knew that he probably hadn’t taken her words to heart. Just as she was about to teach him a lesson, Jeremy suddenly said, “If you stay with me, I’ll be very obedient. I won’t go anywhere…
In other words, all he wanted was just to see her.
Madison’s eyes felt a bit sour.
Years ago, she met Neville, who was drugged back then, and she had s** with him and was pregnant with Jeremy.
Although she loved Neville, she didn’t want to tell him about his son until she was sure of his intentions and the Preston family’s attitude towards her.
With Neville’s growing indifference, Madison became more determined to raise Jeremy alone abroad. At least until they separated. Neville wouldn’t have the opportunity to take custody of their son.
Jeremy, seeing her silent, thought she was angry. He reached out and tugged at Madison’s clothes. “Mommy, I’ll be more obedient from now on, okay?”
Madison hugged her son tightly and said, “Jeremy, hold on a little longer. I will be with you very soon.”
They embraced, unaware that at this moment, a pair of eyes were firmly locked onto them.
Neville didn’t expect to encounter Madison while going downstairs for a smoke and even witnessed her doting on a child.
The child was nestled in Madison’s arms, and Neville couldn’t see his face clearly.
But he vaguely heard the child call Madison “Mommy.
A trace of chill crept into his eyes. Neville even broke the cigarette in his hand.
Madison, thinking Jeremy was allergic to milk, planned to fetch some fresh juice from the lobby.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the door, she was forcibly dragged into the adjacent smoking room by a strong
forte.
The smoke in the room made her cough, and the person still tightly grasped her wrist
Madison was about to scold when she met Neville’s fierce eyes, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn’t know what

she wanted to say.
Neville narrowed his eyes. “Madison, how much are you hiding from me?”
Madison was suddenly flustered. If Neville found out about Jeremy, he would surely take the child away, and she might never get a chance to see Jeremy again..
She tried to make her voice sound calm as she said, “What are you talking about?”
Just now, she was smiling and chatting with Ross. But now she looked like she was facing a formidable enemy.
Madison looked like she hated Neville.
Neville impatiently tugged at his collar. “What about that child?”
