Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1684

As a father, Chandler refused to take out his frustration with Maddie on her children. Ultimately, he decided to check in on her.

"Mr. Newton, you're back," Maddie murmured, propped against the headboard. Her face was pale, and her voice was weak.

"I'm really sorry about today," she said. "I didn't mean for the driver to disturb you. I don't know why he went ahead—hopefully, it didn't disrupt your schedule."

"Where I go isn't up to a mere driver. What impact could it possibly have?" Chandler replied coldly. "Since it was his initiative, there would be no need for him to come in tomorrow."

Maddie opened her mouth to protest, but the resolute look on Chandler's face made her swallow her words. It seemed she would have to use her personal savings to compensate the driver after all.

"I've decided to throw a birthday party for the kids the day after tomorrow," Chandler announced abruptly.

"What?" Maddie was taken aback, struggling to comprehend.

"You know the reason well enough. The longer this drags on, the harder it will be for you. It's better to make a clean break than to prolong the suffering," Chandler said flatly.

"But their birthday isn't until the day after tomorrow! This will hurt their feelings," Maddie insisted.

"If you don't want to go through with it, that's fine. But the day after tomorrow, I'll still send you away and publicly announce the end of our engagement. It's your choice," Chandler declared, his dark eyes shimmering with resolve.

His commanding presence enveloped the room, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

In the end, Maddie relented. "Fine, we'll do it your way."

"Good," Chandler replied before walking out.

As soon as the door slammed shut, Maddie clenched the bed sheets tightly.

Helen kept her smile but went straight to the point. "Ms. Maddie, I assume you didn't invite me here to discuss coffee. We're both smart enough to skip the pleasantries, so let's get to the matter at hand."

"In that case, I'll be direct," Maddie replied, adopting a calm and composed demeanor. "Ms. Terzian, as a fellow mother, I hope you can understand my situation.

"For the sake of my children, I'm asking if you could delay accepting Chandler's proposal for another two months. I want my kids to have a peaceful and joyful birthday with him."

"I don't recall demanding that Chandler make our relationship public right away. What exactly are you implying, Ms. Maddie?" Helen asked, unaware of Chandler's intentions.

"I know you've already been very kind, Ms. Terzian. But here's the situation—Chandler now wants to send the three of us away because of you. I can only imagine the disappointment my kids will feel.

"They've been looking forward to celebrating their birthday with him. I'm asking you to consider stepping back for a couple of months. I want to give my children the chance to enjoy a happy, uninterrupted childhood."

Being a mother herself, Maddie knew that mentioning her children would be a compelling way to appeal to "Kaylee's" heart.
