The woman walking next to Jeremy stopped walking as well. Her face was filled with a grin that she could not hide. She then asked in a sweet voice, “Jeremy, what’s wrong? What are you looking at?”Madeline could not believe this. This woman’s voice was almost the same as hers back then too. However, she never had that tone that was full of pretense.Jeremy ignored the woman next to him at this moment. He was staring at Madeline absent-mindedly.For some reason, Jeremy felt as if his heartbeat and breathing were under the control of the pair of eyes that were not far away from him.‘Could there be another woman with the same eyes as Linnie in this world?’Jeremy had this question in his heart. He could not help but take a step forward and walk toward Madeline who was quietly standing alone in the rain.Immediately, the happy woman who was holding the roses had an annoyed expression on her face when she saw Jeremy suddenly walking to a woman who had her face covered while holding a
“Jeremy, Jeremy?” The woman was confused at Jeremy’s reaction.Even Jeremy himself did not understand why those eyes were able to make him feel so disconcerted. Plus, the view of that woman’s back caused him to feel a sharp pain in his heart for some reason.This was so strange.However, he did not have time to look into this before he was urged away by the woman by his side.The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Madeline held the umbrella, and after she walked for a while, she slowly stopped walking.She did not know when the sky turned black. When Jeremy walked past her earlier, she felt as if her vision had turned black.Her heart was in immense pain, but right now, the wounds on her face started to burn painfully.Madeline placed the umbrella down while feeling unwell. However, the moment she removed her scarf and mask, a passerby suddenly exclaimed, “Damn, what a scary face!”The passerby’s unintentional words sounded so piercing as they penetrated Madeline’s eardrums.
After Madeline was asked this question, she started to feel unsure.She did not know if the man had seen through something or perhaps found out something. In short, the way he was looking at her right now was pretty sharp.Madeline lifted her confused and innocent eyes. Then, she asked in puzzlement, “Can you explain to me? I’m not sure what you mean?”A hidden smile flashed vaguely across the man’s icy face. “Jeremy Whitman has always been a frigid man who’s not amenable to reason with everyone in Glendale. However, he gave his umbrella to you and willingly stood in the rain with the woman he loves most.”He said before pausing. His gaze became deeper as he looked at Madeline. “Why is he so considerate toward you?”Madeline was puzzled by this question as well.He was right. Jeremy was indeed someone like that, but he was not completely cold-blooded. Sometimes, he would also help people in need. However, what happened just now would indeed confuse some people.“I don’t know why
She also noticed that the man was not looking at her with as much suspicion and inquiries anymore. On the other hand, he seemed to understand the entire situation now. “So is this why you only praised Jeremy and said Eveline is so-so when you saw their photos last time?”“Yes,” Madeline replied cooperatively. Then, she praised, “You’re so smart, Mr. Carter. You’ve seen through everything.”The man gave her a fake smile when he heard that. Then, he looked at Madeline with a sneer on the corners of his lips. Madeline felt a little guilty when looking at him.“The number one socialite in Glendale, Eveline Montgomery, is only so-so to you. I guess you really despise Jeremy. At the same time, you must also despise that Eveline Montgomery who has the same name as you, right?”“...” Madeline hesitated for a few seconds. Then, she answered with a deeper meaning, “That’s right, I hate the woman next to Jeremy even more. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have become like this.”‘That’s right
She heard the man’s cold and displeased voice in her ears. The hand the woman was reaching over to grab her mask was also halted.Madeline lifted her head and saw the side profile with amazing features.She quickly got out of the man’s arms and walked to one side.The man looked at Madeline. Then, his cold gaze landed on the unruly and headstrong woman.“Who allowed you to come here? And who gave you the courage to mess with her?” he asked in dissatisfaction.The woman bit her plump red lips. Her beautiful face was filled with grievances. “Carter Gray, how dare you speak to me this way for that woman?!”‘Carter Gray.‘So this man’s name is Carter Gray.’Finally, Madeline knew.However, she was confused about the relationship between this woman and the man.They did not look like husband and wife. However, this woman did say she was the matriarch of this house.“Who do you think you’re talking to right now?”When Madeline was contemplating, she heard the man asking the woman
“I’m warning you, don’t touch my person.”“...”His person?When did she become his person?Madeline knew clearly in her heart that this man was only using her to get rid of the woman.However, he did not give her any chance to explain before he grabbed her wrist suddenly and walked upstairs.“Carter! Carter!” The woman yelled angrily behind them in dissatisfaction, but the man did not have the desire to stop at all.As they were going upstairs, Madeline tried to remove herself from the man’s grip several times. However, he only grabbed her even tighter.“She can’t see us anymore, so can you let go now, Mr. Carter?” Madeline asked in displeasure.Carter stopped walking and turned back to look at Madeline. When he saw the resistance and dissatisfaction in Madeline’s eyes, he let go immediately.“Come in.” He walked into the study first.Madeline followed after him. She remembered his identity that the woman had just exposed and asked after pondering for a few seconds. “Your n
Madeline did not expect this.At that moment, she did not know what to do.The man in front of her was someone in her life whom she could depend on and trust without any worries. However, in this second, her heart was beating extremely erratically.Those young ladies who were obsessed with Jeremy’s looks were all staring at him without blinking. They were hoping that Jeremy would look at them.However, Jeremy was walking straight to Madeline.He looked into Madeline’s eyes for a few seconds before saying, “Are you here for the job too?”He asked. The late autumn wind was already chilly, but Jeremy’s words felt like the spring breeze as it glided past Madeline’s ears.Madeline clenched her fists and nodded. “Yeah.”“Have you done any kind of work like this before?” Jeremy continued asking.Madeline stared at the deep and charming eyes in front of her before nodding again. “I’ve taken care of sick people before so I’m confident that I can excel in this job.”“Okay, come with me
It was true. Those eyes were indeed clear and stunning.‘So, does Mr. Whitman adores everything related to the person he loves?‘Did he seriously hire that woman because her eyes look the same as his wife’s?’When everyone thought about this reason, they could only admit defeat.One was born with their looks and there were no ways to change that. Hence, they could only admit defeat and left in disappointment.In the living room of Whitman Manor.Madeline stood in front of the coffee table as she faced the people who were the closest to her in her life. However, at this moment, she could only pretend to be a stranger.The woman who was impersonating her was introducing her to the family one by one, “This is my mother-in-law and this is my mother. That’s my youngest son with Jeremy. Some of the people staying in this house aren’t here for the time being but it’s fine. The most important task for you right now is to take care of my mother.”After the woman finished introducing eve
