Chapter 1633 You Cannot Leave
Responses quickly filled up the group chat.
Lucille: Wow, where is this place? The view is incredible.
Vivian: It's likely the spot where Ceci took Jon camping. It's quite pristine.
Charlotte: I don't feel like going to work anymore. Once the holiday starts, let's go out and have some fun. It's been a while since we last went out.
Madeline glanced at the messages and responded with a few emojis before quickly immersing herself back into her work.
Lately, she hadn't been resting well. Every moment of downtime she had, her thoughts would drift to her daughter, Amelia.
She wondered how the child was doing with Darren.
She had already initiated the divorce proceedings, and it was inevitable that a custody battle would ensue.
Observing her deep in thought, Calvin, who had appeared before her at some point, asked, "Did something happen at home recently?"
Madeline was stunned. "Is something wrong?"
Calvin placed a few documents in front of her.
"There are quite a few mistakes in these documents. Take a look."
Madeline realized that many of the numbers in the documents were filled in incorrectly.
She tapped her forehead and rose to her feet, eyes filled with guilt. "I'm sorry. I'll fix it right away."
"You don't have to. You should go home now and get some rest."
Madeline's face shifted immediately. Fearing she was about to be fired, she pleaded, "Mr. Reese, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Please give me a chance to make amends. I promise I won't make the same mistake again." She sounded as if she was on the brink of tears.
Calvin realized that she had misunderstood him.
"Maddie, that's not what I meant. I've noticed that you haven't been yourself these past few days. Why don't you take a couple of days off to rest at home before coming back to work?"
Upon hearing this, Madeline finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With a smile, Calvin added, "Besides,

"I truly need a break," Madeline admitted, realizing just how tense she had been lately.
"Go home now."
"Thank you." After tidying up her things, Madeline returned to her residence.
Nathaniel had secured a mansion for her to live in, conveniently located not far from Darren.
The moment she returned, she noticed that the gates of the neighboring mansion were wide open.
Madeline was unusually excited.
Since moving in a few days ago, she had been longing to see her child every moment. Unfortunately, the gates were always tightly shut, keeping her from entering.
Once she stepped out of the car, she nervously made her way toward the Faust residence.
Before she even reached the entrance, she could already see the nanny with Amelia from a distance.
"Amy..." she called out softly. Unable to contain herself any longer, she quickly moved toward the child.
The nanny recognized Madeline and

surprise and joy. "Mrs. Fausenoveldrama
back."
Madeline scooped up the child in her arms.
Amelia hadn't seen her mother in a long time. She pouted, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Mommy..."
"Amy, my darling, I've finally seen you." Madeline embraced her child, feeling as though she had gained the entire world.
Having reclaimed her child, Madeline was now preparing to leave.
The nanny stopped her. "Mrs. Faust, where are you going?"
"You don't need to worry about it. Step aside."
"You can't leave. Mr. Faust will hold me responsible," the nanny said anxiously.
As the two were caught up in their tug of war, a voice echoed from not too far away. "Madeline, where are you taking my daughter?"
