Chapter 687: Now We’re Even, Okay?

Robert knew this secret when Cecelia was four years old?

Madison froze, staring at him.

He had known about it early, but he kept silent. He even treated Cecelia as his own daughter.

Why?

"I betrayed you once, so you wanted to get even with me. If it made you feel better, I can pretend to know nothing for the rest of my life," whispered Robert.

Madison was dumbstruck.

She never knew that the man in front of her had been compensated for his guilt in this way.

Robert took her hand and said softly, "Madison, now we're even, okay?"

Madison threw herself into her husband's arms, tears brimming her eyes.

"Cecelia is our daughter, and you're my only wife. It will never change. We are family since then," Robert whispered as he patted her on the back.

In that clear instant of consciousness, Cecelia opened her eyes to see her parents looking at her nervously.

"She woke up!" Robert cried out.
