Freezing My Love for You のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The Snow and Chance families went back a long way. Madeline and Isaac had grown up together, and their bond was strengthened by their promise to marry. At one point, they'd been the model couple of Shorestone City.While growing up, they had never expressed their feelings for each other. However, Isaac had always been there for her whenever she'd turned to look for him. He'd protected and supported her like a guardian angel. It seemed natural that they would get married once they were of age.Things had changed when Madeline had turned 16. Her parents had died in an accident, and her shameless uncle and aunt had seized the Snow family's fortune. They'd barged into her parents' villa and treated her like a maid, even going as far as abusing her.Isaac had protected her when her life had been at its darkest. He'd taken her back to the Chance residence and cared for her, which was how she'd completed her education and even become a doctor.After graduating college, Madeline had though

Isaac's words stabbed Madeline's heart like knives. She swayed on her feet.An outsider? Was that all he considered her after all these years?It was laughable!Rachel was delighted to hear this but feigned concern and said, "We can talk about the sleeping arrangements later. Queenie's injury is too serious. Can you accompany me to the hospital so we can get it tended to, Isaac?"He immediately lifted Queenie into his arms and turned to leave. Rachel followed him.Madeline stopped him and said plainly, "Let's call off the engagement, Isaac."He didn't believe she was being serious and thought this was another one of her tricks. He didn't even turn back as he said, "I've had it up to here with your dumb tricks. Stay here and reflect on your mistakes!"With that, he hurried off with Rachel and Queenie.As soon as the door was shut, Madeline felt her strength leave her. She slowly crouched on the floor with the painting in her arms. It was almost as if she were holding her whole w

Madeline looked Rachel in the eye and asked coldly, "Did you keep part of Queenie's medical history from us?"Rachel's eyes flickered. Then, she cried, "What are you talking about? I'm her mother! Why would I hurt her?"Madeline thought about how Rachel had shoved Queenie aside a few days ago. The latter had knocked her head against the bedside table and even bled. It only made her believe that her guess was likely to be right.Anyway, there was no point arguing with Rachel. Everything would be clear once the results of the blood test were out. She turned to the nurse and said, "Take her blood sample."Rachel gnashed her teeth and tried to stop them. "You can't! I'm Queenie's guardian, and I won't let you touch her!"Madeline kept Rachel from stopping the nurse, so the latter was soon done taking Queenie's blood. The, she ran off to have it submitted for analysis.Once the nurse was gone, Madeline wanted to release Rachel. However, the latter suddenly backed away and fell to the

Isaac met with a business partner after dealing with Queenie."The bid went quite smoothly this time, Mr. Chance. It's all thanks to you! Let's drink to that!" the business partner said."You're being too polite, Mr. Lawrence."Isaac clinked glasses with him and downed his drink. Then, he tugged his tie loose, feeling a little irritated. He glanced at his phone and saw that it was already 3:30 pm.Madeline should've already arrived at Lemuria. Why hadn't she texted him to let him know she'd landed safely? Could it be she was still mad at him?The thought of that annoyed him. Suddenly, his phone pinged. He'd received a text, but it wasn't from Madeline. It was from Rachel."Remember not to drink too much, Isaac. Take care of yourself."The corners of his lips had lifted because he thought Madeline had texted him, but they dropped now that he knew he was wrong. For the first time ever, he didn't reply to Rachel.He excused himself to head to the restroom. When he was in the corri

"Maddie!" Isaac sounded pleased to finally hear Madeline's voice. Then, he snarled, "Where have you gone? What took you so long to answer the phone? And who was that man? Didn't you see my messages? Why didn't you reply to any of them? What's your tantrum about this time?"He was practically shouting toward the end. Even over the phone, Madeline could imagine how impatient he looked. He was probably mad at her for wasting his precious time and keeping him from his life again.A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, but it was almost imperceptible. He couldn't affect her emotions anymore. She said calmly, "I'm married, Isaac. My husband answered the phone earlier."Isaac didn't believe her for a second and thought she was still kicking up a fuss. He softened his tone and said, "Enough is enough, Maddie. I know you're mad about me leaving you at the airport, but there's really nothing between Rachel and me."I only think of her as my savior. You are the one who will be my wife in
