Jeremy was surprised. He did not know when Madeline came up from behind him.Madeline was also taken aback because Jeremy's face was as pale as a sheet of paper.The two looked at each other and time seemed to stand still at this moment.Jeremy struggled to suppress the intense smell of blood and the dry itch in his throat. He turned his face away to avoid Madeline's sight, coughing lightly.Jeremy's heart was very flustered at this moment. He was afraid that Madeline would discover that something was wrong with him and she would see through everything."Maddie, why are you standing there? It’s time for a photo." Ava's reminder came from a distance.Madeline looked at the man who was facing her from the side and handed over the ID card."I'm giving it back to you,” she said coldly as she stretched out her hand to him.Jeremy clenched his fists, knowing he could not reach out to Madeline.The palms of his two hands were stained with blood.Seeing Jeremy being indifferent, Made
After Madeline and Ryan returned from chatting with the guests from the Jones family, Ava was found flushed and drunk. She was muttering non-stop, "Maddie, this time, you must have a happy marriage. You must..."Madeline was moved. Ava was one of the few people in this world who truly cared and was concerned for her.At this moment, Madeline had no choice but to ask Daniel to send Ava back home.However, Daniel was also slightly drunk. After helping Ava into the taxi, he leaned against Ava drowsily.He wanted to bring Ava home at first, but the driver unexpectedly stopped the taxi at the entrance of a hotel. With a look of understanding, he opened the car door for Daniel.Daniel was lazy to clarify the truth and helped Ava out of the car.Ava was drunk till the point she almost could not stand still. It was as if her limbs had turned into jelly as she leaned weakly on Daniel."Ava, are you okay?" Daniel was quite worried."Okay?" Ava raised her blurry eyes. "Okay… Maddie needs
Jeremy knew that coming here was only going to hurt him.He just could not let go. He could not let go of the woman who was embedded deeply into his bones.Through the thin and dense drizzle, Jeremy saw Ryan approaching Madeline through the curtains. He got closer to her, and when he lowered his head, it was obvious that he was kissing her.Jeremy held the steering wheel tightly and felt the raindrops outside the car window pounding into his heart. It felt cold and icy.He could not continue being like this anymore. The only thing he could do was leave and go to Whitman Manor, where he could quietly visit the two children who had fallen asleep.In the bedroom.Ryan gave Madeline a light hug before letting go of her."I know you haven't completely let go of Jeremy in your heart. It doesn't matter. I can wait."Ryan's words made Madeline feel guilty.She was already his legal wife, but she still could not fulfill the responsibilities of a wife.Ryan was very empathetic toward h
Lana heard him but seemed to be hesitating.It was the first time Jeremy saw a serious look on the dishonest woman.He did not want to give Lana too much time to think about it.He stood up and pretended to be displeased. "Since you don't trust me, then forget it."Lana hurried over to stop Jeremy when she heard what he said. "Baby, don't be angry. Why would I not trust you?"Lana coquettishly tugged on Jeremy's sleeve. She looked a little worried. When she saw that Jeremy's handsome face was not turned toward her and he was acting coldly as well, Lana changed her mind."Baby, you’re offering such a big sacrifice to let a multinational company like Whitman Corporation help the Stygian Johnson Gang launder money. I’d be dumb to disagree!"Lana gave in.Jeremy continued pretending to be displeased to egg her on. "You don't have to agree so reluctantly. It was just a suggestion. You don't need to agree just to please me.""I’m not! Jeremy, I’d love to!" Lana smiled and tried to p
When Ava heard his voice, it was as if she was electrocuted and got stunned still.Knock, knock. He knocked on the door again. "Ava, are you there?" Daniel's voice softly penetrated into her ears.Ava's heart felt sour, and she felt even more uncomfortable.The man she loved was standing outside the door, but she…"Ava, last night...""Dan, I-I drank too much last night. I’m still a little tired and feel like going to bed,” Ava suppressed her emotions and interrupted Daniel as she pretended to be calm.Outside the door, it took a long time for Daniel to answer. His tone sounded a little lonely. "Have a good rest, then.""Thanks, Dan," Ava replied. Dressed in her pajamas, she hugged her body tightly as she stared at the door blankly.After standing for a while, Ava slowly walked to the door. She wanted to take a look at Daniel's back, but she did not expect that she would see him the second she opened the door.Ava was stunned and did not move. She seemed to have been paralyzed
Her heart started to race, and she called Madeline immediately. It was only then when she found out that Madeline had asked Daniel to take her home last night.Instead of waking up at home, she woke up in the hotel instead.She could not remember anything that happened in between those times. The only thing she remembered was waking up next to a man lying next to her. She did not even see what the man looked like.‘Was it possible that Dan saw what happened?‘Did he see the man and me…’Ava felt as if her head was about to explode when suddenly, her doorbell rang again.She thought it was Daniel who had turned back, but when she opened the door, she saw the person she did not want to see…Madeline did not sleep a wink last night. She got up very early, fed the baby, and prepared breakfast for Ryan.After Ryan left, she took the children to Whitman Manor.Lillian still could not speak, so Jackson had been accompanying his little sister.After Madeline passed her youngest son a
Jeremy and the man who was sitting across from him heard the sound. They both looked up at the same time.When he saw Madeline squatting at the stairs, holding Lillian who was crying, Jeremy was very surprised. He quickly stepped forward and wanted to comfort the crying little girl but was held back by the man.The man shook his head at Jeremy, giving him a hint with his eyes. He then turned away, walking out through the other door."Don’t cry, Lillian. Bad balloon! See, it’s okay. Don’t cry, don’t cry." Madeline hugged the little girl sadly.However, Lillian would not stop crying. Apart from crying, Lillian did not make any other sounds.Jeremy looked at the little princess crying with tears streaming down her cheeks like the rain, his heart aching at the sight. However, he had no choice but to walk over to them coldly."Eveline, are you following me?"Madeline, who was comforting Lillian, raised her sharp gaze to look at the man looking down at her."Lillian got scared by the
She wanted to do a laboratory test on it.As soon as Jeremy left the cafe, he received a call from Lana asking him where he was.He casually said that he was buying a present for her and she was fooled.20 minutes later, Jeremy returned to Lana's villa with a box of chocolates he bought from the streets.As soon as he entered the room, he heard Yorick's dissatisfied questioning voice, "I told you to go back to F Country. Why are you still here?"Yorick Johnson, I’m your sister. How can you treat me this way because of Eveline?” Lana sneered unhappily as she sat on the sofa. She lit up a cigarette and took a big puff like a lady gangster boss. “Yorick Johnson, I'm just curious. Who’s the man stopping you from hurting Eveline?”Yorick did not care about how rudely Lana was speaking to him right now, even using his full name. He only solemnly reminded her, saying, "It’s better if you don’t know. If you knew, you wouldn't benefit much from it.”"Benefit? What are you talking about?
