No Way Back

Chapter 335

“What happened?”

Madelyn, who was still immersed in her sweet dream in the living room, was confused.

Footsteps could be heard.

Jack went downstairs and clenched his fists as he watched his sons leave.

An indescribable heartache spread throughout his body, and he could not help himself.

“This is all my fault as a father… It’s all my fault…” He thought to himself.

“Jack? What’s wrong?”

Jack turned around to look at Anna, who was at a loss. Then he looked at Madelyn, who was leaning against Anna.

Disgust flashed across his eyes.

“I think Peter has something important to do. He didn’t say anything. Since the children have followed him,

I don’t think we have to worry about anything. Anna, come here. I have something to tell you.”

“… Okay.”

They had been married for so long and had always been a loving couple. Anna could acutely sense that Jack was hiding something.

No, it wasn’t just now. In fact, for a period of time recently, Anna could feel it.

After all, in this world, the person who knew Jack the best was none other than his wife Anna.

However, Anna knew Jack’s personality. The things that Jack hid must be for the sake of this family and Anna’s good.

Since Jack didn’t want to tell her, he naturally had his reasons for that, so Anna wouldn’t ask.

When the day came, she would find out. It was enough for Anna to believe that ***the man did, his starting point was for the good of the family and her.

Seeing that Anna was about to leave, Madelyn immediately stood up and pretended to be worried. “Daddy, ***, what’s wrong with my brothers? Shall I follow them and take a look?”

“It’s all men’s business. As a girl, you’d better not go with them. Just wait here for them to come back.”

Jack said calmly and left with Anna.

Madelyn was left sitting on the sofa in the living room, dumbfounded.

Well…

This wasn’t right, was it?.

Where was the promised gift?

Last year, everyone in the family was all about Madelyn..

All the “gifts”, “flowers”, and “parties” made Madelyn a true fairy tale “princess”, a “****swan” that no one could touch.

Why did it become Madelyn sitting alone in the living room when everyone left this year?

At the same time.

Madelyn’s heart was still shaking wildly.

It wasn’t an illusion…

Recently, Madelyn also felt that her family’s attitude toward her had changed.

However, they did not say it explicitly, so Madelyn deliberately suppressed this feeling.

After all, too many things had happened to the Fowler family.

Could it be…

Had something about Madelyn been revealed?

If that were the case, would the Fowler family still have a place for Madelyn in the future?

It started to rain.

It was already late at night.

The people who came to work in Stormton City returned home for Christmas.

It became much quieter in Stormton City.

Not to mention that it was such a drizzling night.

The rain was not heavy, but in such cold weather, it was very easy to catch a cold and have a fever if one was wet by the rain.

This was no laughing matter in the run-up to Christmas.

Until…

A figure appeared not far from the entrance of Jane’s apartment.

This person was Peter.

Peter did not have an umbrella. He just raised his head and looked at the 32nd floor where Jane was.

There was a faint light there.

Jane should be greeting Christmas with the people she thought were important.

In Jane’s life, these important people were her friends.

There would no longer be the Fowlers and her brothers there.

The six brothers were standing at the back.

Following Peter’s gaze, they saw the room Jane was in.

They could not help but sigh heavily.

Still holding an umbrella, Henry came to Peter’s side and endured the heart-wrenching pain. “Peter, go back. Don’t get wet here in case you hurt your body.”

Peter was silent. He still looked up. “Don’t worry about me, Henry. I’m in a mess right now. I don’t want to go back to face Madelyn for a while. Only by standing here… can I find a shred of peace.”

“Wake up, Peter. Everyone feels guilty about Jane, but what’s the point of torturing yourself like this?

“The past has become the truth. Jane will never forgive us!

“If you think that showing such a weak attitude in front of Jane can make Jane’s heart waver a little, you’re gravely mistaken!”

Henry gritted his teeth and pressed Peter’s shoulder, trying to wake him up.

As Queen’s former apprentice on the Darknet, Henry knew Jane’s personality best.

Jane would never forgive a traitor.

According to Janer’s personality, betrayers were equivalent to being sentenced to death.

Jane had been exceptionally merciful in not ***Henry.

If they wanted to use this method to express their remorse and make Jane forgive them, it was simply a *****dream!

“…Henry, you can say that because you weren’t there when this happened..

“But I was there. I said a lot of irreparable things to Jane for Madelyn.

“In the end, I was the one who was wrong. I said that if Jane was innocent, I would get down on It knees to

her.

“I’ve been wrong again and again. I’ve never fulfilled my promise. I don’t look like a man at all. This time…

let me fulfill it!”

After Peter finished speaking, with a plop, he knelt on the ground in front of Henry and the others.

“Peter!”

Seeing Peter like this, the other six brothers were heartbroken.

“You really don’t have to do this…”

“I have to. How else am I going to sleep and face a new day? When I think about how I have to live with this feeling like today in the future, I might as well do something to make up for my guilt, even if it’s just a little!”

Peter could not ***. There were still many things that Peter cared about in this world. Like his family, dreams…

He could only use this kind of self-deception to comfort his heart.

Peter knew that he was extremely timid and could not be considered a man.

Peter lowered his head and knelt with determination.

The rain pattered on Peter’s body.

He was wet to the skin.

Henry’s eyes revealed a trace of pain.

He took another look at the floor where Jane was.

He simply threw the umbrella away.

He also got down on his knees on the ground.

“Henry?”

“Peter, you said that you owe Jane. Isn’t it the same for everyone here? I’m just the big brother. I have to be strong. I can’t be a bad example for you. However, my debt to Jane is no less than yours. It was like a sword that threatened to cut through and destroy my soul. I want a shred of redemption, too!”

If Peter was down on his knees, Henry was going rogue for once.

He put aside his identity as the Fowler family’s eldest son and president of the Fowler Corporation.

Just like an apprentice who owed the Teacher and a brother owed his sister, he knelt down on the ground in the heavy rain like Peter and begged for forgiveness.
