However, with each step she took, she felt her vision spinning even harder. She saw that there was a sink ahead. She thought of drenching herself with some water to make herself awake. Nevertheless, before reaching the sink, all her strength was drained from her body.Suddenly, Madeline just dropped to the ground. "Jeremy…"She muttered as her eyelids drooped down heavily. In the end, she just saw that face that looked similar to hers, revealing an evil smile…As soon as Jeremy was done with work, he immediately headed back to Whitman Manor. Once he entered the house, he saw the three kids gathering together and playing around. Karen was accompanying Eloise by her side and was looking for topics to talk to her about from time to time.Even though Eloise seemed like she did not understand, at least the atmosphere was not as depressing.However, what bothered him most was that he did not see Madeline around.Jeremy placed the dessert that he just bought in front of the three kids.
Jeremy raised his eyes and looked over. His deep peach blossom eyes reflected the image of that bright smile and the little face that looked as pretty as an artwork."Didn't you say that there's a lot of stuff at work waiting for you to settle and you'll be back home late? Why are you home already?" Madeline held the shopping bag that was filled with food. She changed her shoes and walked to him. "If I knew you'd be back early, I wouldn’t have gone to the mall. I might as well have asked you to go fetch the items for me."Jeremy saw the lady before him slowly approaching him and was absent-minded for a moment before putting on a gentle smile."You could always send the servants out to buy these things. You're the madam of the Whitman family. You don't have to personally do all this trivial stuff.""How could I? I want to personally put in the effort for the kids," said Madeline as she smiled and looked at Eloise and Karen. "Mom, I'll be heading to the kitchen. In a while, everyone
Her pretty eyes were teary and reddened, brewing with anxiety. "Jeremy, will you blame me?""How would I blame you, silly?" Jeremy comforted her, but looking at the tears that were about to spill out from those big eyes before him did not make him feel heartbroken.Previously, he would feel uncomfortable even if Madeline frowned.However, he did not feel any change in emotions even when Madeline was on the verge of crying now.Jeremy felt troubled, but without thinking further, he continued comforting her gently. "Don't be so upset, it's just a ring. Later, I'll buy you another one. Right now, let's bake a cake together."Madeline suddenly smiled. "You really treat me the best, Jeremy.""You're my wife. If I don't treat you well, who am I going to treat well?" Jeremy smiled. Just when he was about to bake the cake with Madeline, his phone rang. "Linnie, I'll go answer this call first.""Alright." Madeline nodded and stared at Jeremy's back. Gradually, there was a victorious sm
Astonished, Madeline looked at the man who was walking to her. A gleam of confusion was seen in her clear eyes. "How is this possible? Where is this place? How did you—""How did I manage to show up before you as I please?" the man asked with a slight smile as he sauntered to Madeline. "In this world, there's a gray area. Even though money can't do everything and it can't buy true love, but it's more than enough to purchase freedom.""..."Madeline suddenly had a terrible headache when she heard his comment. "Ryan, the lady who looks the same as me, is that your doing? Why did you do that?"Ryan placed one of his hands into his pocket with a carefree gesture."Eveline, you should know that changing one’s appearance to look exactly like yours isn’t a one or two days’ work.”"So, you're saying you had it all planned much earlier?""That day when I brought you over to Y Country, I had already planned to do this, but later I was arrested and admitted my defeat. I didn't plan to use
Ryan walked to Madeline. The halo of the sunset silently shone on his face, but his expression was obscure and uncertain."Eveline, I won't hurt you again, but I won't let you return to Jeremy's side.”Madeline heard his comment and calmly let out a smile. "Back then, you said to me that you'll never let me and Jeremy reunite, but things have proven themselves and I reunited with him. So what if you're trapping me here now? Soon, I'll be back by his side. And if you think that the lady you hired will be able to attain what she wants to achieve, then you can just forget about it!”She spat out those decisive and confident comments, then elegantly spun around to leave.Ryan was unhappy and frowned. Slowly, he clenched his hand that was hiding in his pocket into a fist.Looking at the vast sea made Ryan feel he was getting more narrow-minded.…Whitman Manor.After night arrived, the family had their dinner happily.The woman impersonating Madeline put on a fake smile on her face
It should be a voice that he liked and could make him touched, but somehow, Jeremy could not feel anything at that moment.Jeremy got up, sensing the silhouette that was slowly approaching him. He raised his eyes and saw her in a sleeping gown that he had never seen before. The sleeping gown was very thin and very sexy.Jeremy initially thought he would experience a surge of uncontrollable emotions within him, yet he evaded his gaze, finding it frustrating.He had no thoughts of being gentle with Madeline, let alone having thoughts of being intimate with her."Linnie, you go ahead and sleep first. I still have some work to do," Jeremy said and walked to the study desk.The lady was dumbfounded. She soon snapped out of it and saw the outline of Jeremy’s icy-cold back. Feeling curious, she lowered her head and glanced at her outfit.She even purposely looked at her left breast. She had put a mole there that was exactly like the one Madeline had.From her face till every part of he
Jeremy quickly got up. "Linnie, I'll go get it. Something might have happened to Mom.""Alright." Madeline nodded with a smile. She looked at the outline of Jeremy's back, the smile on her face gradually fading.She had nearly succeeded but something happened so suddenly.To Jeremy, Karen's appearance was just like the appearance of his savior.He never had this unusual feeling before, which he himself did not know the reason behind it. He found it unbelievable that being with Madeline would make him feel uncomfortable.Even back in those times, he had never felt that way before.Jeremy opened the door and saw Karen carrying Pudding in her hands. Her face was filled with anxiety. "What's wrong? Is Pudding not feeling well?""No." Karen shook her head. "It's about your father-in-law. He's still not back from working overtime. I have to put Pudding to sleep and Eloise is all by herself. If Eveline is not asleep yet, please ask her to keep Eloise accompany.""I'm not asleep yet.
Jeremy took big footsteps and headed to Eloise who was shouting loudly. His face wore a serious yet surprised expression. "Mom, you finally got the strength to talk?"However, it was as if Eloise did not hear Jeremy talking to her. She continued shrieking, "Eveline, I want Eveline!"The woman quickly comforted Eloise, afraid that Jeremy might get suspicious. There was a worried and anxious look on her face. "Mom, Eveline is right here. I’m your Eveline."Eloise raised her head and looked at the woman for some time, then suddenly shoved the woman’s hand away with a disgusted look. "You're not Eveline! You're not my Eveline!""..." The woman’s body trembled, her expression changing for the worse.She had just started launching the first step of her plan, but she did not expect it to end as a failure that fast.The woman wanted to seek an excuse saying that it was because of Eloise's illness, but from her peripheral vision, she saw Jeremy's outline inching closer to her."Mom, don'
