Chapter 20
Inside the Madren family’s house, it was still warm as spring and not affected by the cold weather outside.
Ethan had just changed his clothes and pushed open the door of the room, only to see his wife just sitting up from the bed, rubbing her eyes and sleepily asking him where he had just been.
Ethan paused for a moment, his eyes darkening as he remembered the scene just now. Then, he casually walked up to her, embraced her, and kissed her.
“I didn’t go anywhere, I bought you some food.”
Upon hearing these words, Leanna’s eyes widened, and she looked outside.
“With such heavy rain, what will you do if you catch a cold?”
“Don’t worry, I’m feeling fine. Besides, our child wants to eat, so as a father, I must satisfy them.”
He then raised his hand and gently touched Leanna’s abdomen, his eyes filled with tenderness.
When it came to children, Leanna also raised her hand to cover his large hand, looking tenderly at her own belly.
She never imagined that she would become a mother one day.
She had hurt her body because of the bad news about Brenton at first, and then so many things happened afterwards that the doctors said it

would be very difficult for her to conceive a child.
But she happened to encounter this one in a million chance.
Faced with this hard–won child, Leanna cherished him especially, so she rarely paid attention to things outside. Whatever Ethan said was what it was, and she didn’t want to ask further.
Ethan also saw this in Leanna, which is why he kept Brenton’s arrival
on the island a secret.
He didn’t want his wife to be hurt by such a person again.
After dinner, Ethan stayed by Leanna’s side until she fell asleep, and then he went downstairs.
Due to Leanna’s pregnancy, the Madren family and the Dalton family specifically hired many people to take care of them.
Seeing him coming down, the nanny who was originally standing by the window walked over to greet him.
“Sir.”
Ethan nodded, “Still there?”
The nanny hurriedly replied, “I’ve been standing for another night.”
Hmph, Ethan sneered, “We don’t need to worry about him anymore, whatever he does has nothing to do with us.”
After saying that, he reminded the nanny, “Leanna has been experiencing some morning sickness recently, so please make the dishes lighter and less greasy.”
“Just roast the lamb chops and asparagus that the Dalton family sent

last time.”
“Okay, sir.”
After the servant left, Ethan made a phone call.
Although Ethan no longer paid attention to Brenton, Leanna couldn’t stay cooped up at home forever. She would always need to go out and work, so in order to prevent Brenton from bothering her again, he made a call to the Anderson family to come and take Brenton away.
“At most one month, otherwise I will have to ask someone to ‘invite‘
Brenton back.”
When he said this, a flash of ruthlessness passed through Ethan’s eyes.
It was another rainy night, and Brenton couldn’t remember how many days he had been standing outside the Madren family’s house.
He clearly felt that his body was about to give out, but he still hadn’t seen Leanna.
Soon the rain was pouring down harder and harder, and the lights in the Madren family went out one by one.

As the last light went out, the brightness in Brenton’s eyes also dimmed completely.
He knew that today would be another day of waiting in vain.
His heart suddenly felt as if it had been hollowed out, leaving only endless despair and coldness.
Ethan’s words echoed in his ears at that moment.
But he just couldn’t accept it.

They used to love each other so much, Leanna even wanted to die with him when he passed away.
But now she doesn’t even want to see him once.
“Hmm…”
A bitter smile crept onto Brenton’s lips as he looked up at the dark sky. The rain pelted his face, as if even the heavens were mocking him.
“With a loud thud, he couldn’t hold on any longer and blacked out, crashing to the ground.”
The heavy rain continued to fall mercilessly, as if it wanted to completely engulf him and her in this cold world.
In a daze, he seemed to hear someone urgently calling out to him.
“Brenton…”
