I Thought You Loved My Son Madeline couldn’t believe it.

In her understanding, Darren was rather indifferent toward her. He wasn’t particularly fond of her, but it also couldn’t be said that he disliked her.

Especially at the beginning, Darren barely whispered any sweet nothings to her. He didn’t confess his feelings, let alone showered her with gifts or tokens of affection like others did when they were in love.

As such, Madeline was skeptical of what Monica said, which the latter could tell.

Monica sighed and explained, “Maddie, there’s no reason for me to lie about something like this. Just think about it, your family went bankrupt, and your parents passed away. Technically, my family could have easily called off the engagement. Or rather, we could have backed out of it.”

Madeline tightened her hand.

Monica continued, “If we proceeded this way, though it would be a blow to our reputation, it would be more beneficial for the Faust family. However, Darren wouldn’t allow it. He was adamant about marrying you. Your father and I really couldn’t control him, so we had no choice but to let him marry you. However, during that period, he was truly under immense pressure, even resorting to prolonged kneeling.”
