Ariana has always been a thorn in Madeline's heart. After all, this woman met Patrick earlier than herself, not to mention a childhood sweetheart story that she could not break into.

The key is that Ariana comes from a superior family background, looks gentle and elegant, and has returned from studying abroad with dual master's degrees.

In contrast, Madeline has faced the bankruptcy of the family since she was young, struggling in society alone until now. She has dying all kinds of jobs to repay debts, without much education, graduating at best from a third-rate university.

She didn't think much of it before, but now compared to Ariana, Madeline just feels ashamed.

The other party excels in Everyone, while she can't compare in any aspect except for giving birth to Patrick's child.

Thinking of this, Madeline feels deeply frustrated and melancholic.

Seeing this, Freya raised her hand and patted her shoulder, saying, "Don't stress yourself out so much. Ariana's excellence is all in the past. What you need to do now is to keep Patrick's heart and not add more troubles to yourself."

Madeline sighed deeply, "I'm afraid that the pain of giving birth in October cannot compare to their childhood love."

Although Patrick claims that he has nothing with Ariana, whenever she calls him, he will appear no matter where he is or who he is with.

"It's not a matter of minutes to go to the key place, sometimes she doesn't come back even late at night, how can she feel good? Madeline really feels tired, she hasn't even settled with her future mother-in-law, and now there is a rival appearing, making her feel really tense recently, her nerves are stretched too tight, sometimes she can't even breathe.

"I still believe in Patrick's character. It's possible that Ariana really has something going on, there may be a reason for Patrick to see her, but if you don't like them meeting, I believe as long as you speak up, Patrick should cut off all contact with her!"

Patrick may not have been very reliable in the past, but since being with Madeline, Patrick's change can be seen clearly, and it's understandable.

In addition, Bradley also said that Patrick is not the type to change his mind easily, so she is more willing to believe that the reason Patrick meets with Ariana is because he has no other choice.

"Cutting off contact is impossible. I only found out a few days ago that Ariana and Lina are very close, they often go to the beauty salon together, their relationship seems to be like real mother-in-law and Yara-in-law."

"I suspect the reason why Patrick can't break free from Ariana is largely because of Lina scheming behind the scenes. This old woman has never liked me, tried every way to break me and Patrick apart, deliberately let Ariana come and ruin our relationship."

Whenever Madeline mentions Lina, hatred flashes in her eyes.

Even though this woman has left the villa she shared with Patrick, she still comes back from time to time. Whenever she sees her approaching the children, Madeline feels a chill down her spine.

This is because this woman once held the children with a fierce look, an expression of wanting to strangle the two children, a look that Madeline can't forget until now.

Freya frowned slightly and said, "If that's the case, then you should believe in Patrick even more. I believe he must be also troubled by this matter and is trying his best to clear things up. So, Madeline, give Patrick some time. Perhaps your relationship can have a new breakthrough." Having experienced the tactics of women like Juliet and ying, Freya had some understanding of their tricks. Juliet was like that back then, using the Jane family's favor towards the Nan family to repeatedly entangle Bradley, even sneakily injecting him with a bestial venom in a crazy attempt to win his heart. But did she succeed in the end? No, she always believed that evil cannot prevail over good. Just like Madeline now, she was impatient and even doubted Bradley's feelings for her. If it wasn't for her doubts, Juliet wouldn't have had an opportunity to nearly turn Bradley into a heartless devil. Therefore, Freya believed that Patrick must be in a difficult situation now, trying to handle Ariana's matter, but he needs time. And at this moment, what he needs most is Madeline's support. Freya held Madeline's hand tightly, silently encouraging her.

"Listen to me, relax and trust Patrick. Your biggest responsibility towards him is to take care of the two children. As for whether Patrick chooses to return to you or to betray you in the future, that is something we cannot predict."

"A man who truly loves you will overcome all obstacles for you. But if he chooses to cheat, there is no need to be too weak. Decisions must be made to let go or hold on. But let me tell you, Madeline, when it comes to cheating, there are only zero times and countless times. Never believe in the nonsense that a playboy will come back. How many playboys have you seen actually turn around instead of walking further away?"

In matters of love, Freya has walked ahead and explored the path first, so she sees things more clearly. What she is saying now is just a summary of her experiences on this path.

Patrick is Bradley's life and death brother, and Freya believes he is not the type to be indecisive.

As for the current setbacks, they are just tests given by God to every couple. Once overcome, the clouds will clear and the moon will shine.

Just like myself and Bradley, Madeline and Xavier, they all endured a period of setbacks before achieving the current peace.

The relationship between Madeline and Patrick started off smoothly and passionately, expressing their love rapidly. They got on the train without even buying tickets.

But life is not always smooth sailing. Some people experience bitterness before sweetness, while others experience sweetness before bitterness.

Madeline listened quietly, about to speak when suddenly a message came to her phone.

She picked it up and took a look, her just-calmed face suddenly turned extremely ugly, even dropping her phone without a steady grip.

"What's wrong?" Freya asked with concern.

Madeline's face looked very bad, quietly clenched her fists, with anger in her eyes, "Patrick, that scumbag, said today is his mother's fiftieth birthday, and he plans to hold a birthday banquet at home, Ariana will also attend.

Why didn't his mother mention the birthday earlier, and why choose to come to our house instead of holding it at a hotel outside?"

Madeline's emotions are now very agitated and she cannot accept this arrangement.

She stood up and grabbed her bag, urgently saying, "No, no, I have to hurry home to check."

"It's not Madeline, you need to calm down first..."

Freya wanted to remind her a few words, but Madeline had already disappeared in a few steps.

Worried that Madeline might cause trouble, Freya was extremely anxious and could only go downstairs to the study to have Bradley contact Patrick to find out the situation.
