After she heard that, Madeline did not feel aggrieved or sad anymore.All of the hurt she felt had been healed by this man at this moment.When she was about to cry, Jeremy spread his arms and pulled her into his embrace.“Linnie, stop overthinking. I only have you in my life and you’re the only woman I love.” His warm promise sounded next to her ear.Madeline nodded with tears in her eyes. Her voice shook as she said, “I know.”She knew. She always knew that he loved her, from the start all the way till now.After the hug, Jeremy leaned down and pressed a soft kiss on Madeline’s lips.However, after this kiss, Madeline felt as if she was Cinderella after the clock struck 12. It was time to leave.Coincidentally, Jeremy’s phone rang.He picked up the phone and said after listening for a while, “Tell Lily I’m coming home now. Tell her to stop crying.”‘Is Lily crying?’Madeline started to feel worried. She did not know why her child was crying.Jeremy hung up the phone and M
Naomi clutched her face. When she saw the sharp and piercing cold glint in Madeline’s eyes, she was shocked.After Madeline warned her, she pushed Naomi away to go downstairs.Naomi was bitter about the unbearable grievances. When Madeline was not paying attention, she suddenly stuck her foot out to trip Madeline.However, it was as if Madeline was prepared. When Naomi stuck her foot out, she retracted her foot and at the same time, she grabbed Naomi.Naomi did not expect Madeline’s reflexes to be so quick. She was caught off guard after she was pulled and missed her footing before falling down the stairs. With a loud and muffled thud, she rolled down the stairs.“Ah!”Naomi then rolled all the way to the first floor while accompanied by her pained screams.When Jeremy saw this after he walked through the door, he stood motionless in surprise. However, he did not go over to help Naomi up even after a long while.Karen was in the living room, completely stunned when she saw this
The little princess called Madeline her mommy again.Madeline could not express the excitement she was feeling right now with words. However, the overflowing joy in her eyes was evident.Jeremy looked at Madeline’s twinkling eyes and approached Madeline with Lillian in his arms.“I think my daughter likes you a lot. Can you help me hold this child to comfort her?”Madeline did not expect Jeremy to say that. Of course, Madeline would be more than happy to.She nodded quickly and reached out her hands to hold Lillian.When Naomi saw this from the living room, she felt agitated and nervous.Was this because blood was thicker than water and Lillian was her flesh and blood?Was that why the little thing could sense the woman holding her right now was her birth mother?Naomi clenched her fists in silence when she saw Madeline carrying Lillian upstairs. Plus, she also gritted her teeth.She could not let this continue. If the little girl had this feeling, it meant that Jeremy would
“Jack, be a good boy and watch your sister.”She smiled and urged before striding to the door.Naomi was eating some fruits alone in the living room. She was planning how to get back at Madeline when she saw Madeline bustling downstairs.She was taken aback, and as she was wondering what Madeline was going to do, Madeline had already charged in front of her like a gust of wind.Madeline grabbed Naomi’s collar and did not hesitate before slapping her hard across the face.Slap!“Ah!”Naomi wailed in pain. At the same time, her voice alarmed Karen and Jeremy who just went upstairs.They came out of their rooms at the same time to go downstairs. Then, they saw Madeline holding Naomi’s collar.Karen’s face turned pale from shock. She had no idea what was going on, so she quickly rushed over.Naomi was startled by the sudden slap as well. When she came back to her senses, she glared at Madeline and warned in a low voice.“Eveline, you psychopath! Would you cut it out? How dare yo
Madeline was infuriated and could not endure Naomi’s behavior anymore. She lifted her hand to get ready to pull down her mask to fight head-on with Naomi.When Naomi saw Madeline wanting to remove her mask, she was shocked.Yet, she was not worried at all. She knew Madeline’s face was so horrible it was unbearable for one to look straight at it. As such, no one would believe that a person with that face would be the real Madeline.At this moment, Jeremy appeared behind Madeline.“Quinny,” he called out to Madeline softly.Madeline stopped abruptly after removing one of the straps of her mask.“Quinny, you don’t have to leave. Go back to your room first.” Jeremy walked to Madeline’s side and looked into her eyes with his deep eyes. His gaze was extremely gentle.“How can we do that, Jeremy? She slapped Eveline! She slapped your wife!” Karen emphasized.In Naomi’s heart, she wanted to use Karen to kick Madeline out, but on the surface, she had to pretend to be generous and magnan
Naomi clutched her cheeks that were still hurting from the slaps. She felt that she could not continue this anymore.Madeline was almost fighting head-on with her. What made her uncomfortable and feel strange the most was Jeremy’s attitude.It was obvious that he favored Madeline more now.‘Did he sense something?’Naomi started to panic.…Madeline went back to the children’s room. After she got rid of all her displeasure, she smiled and accompanied Lillian and Jackson with benevolence and gentleness in her eyes. Finally, she left their rooms after she put them to bed.She went to look for Eloise. After seeing that Eloise was sleeping soundly, she went back to her room feeling relieved.After she took a shower, Madeline removed the makeup on her face. The red marks appeared once again in the mirror.Indeed, it was just like Adam said. The red marks would not fade away so easily.The effects of the gel were just like a mask with quick results. The effects after it was absorbe
Madeline thought she was being very gentle, but she still woke Jeremy unexpectedly.She did not want to disturb his rest, but Jeremy was indeed awake now.Madeline was at a loss, so she tried to look for an excuse. “Mr. Whit—”“Linnie.”“...”Jeremy suddenly called out to Madeline with this name.Madeline was stunned and lowered her eyes to look into Jeremy’s eyes. Under the pale moonlight, his bottomless eyes that looked like the night sky appeared a little dazed.“Linnie, it’s great to have you here,” Jeremy lamented. His thin and alluring lips were curled into a happy smile.As he was smiling, he spread his arms to hold Madeline’s waist. Then, he placed his head gently on her body.Madeline was stunned. Was he dreaming? Was he groggy with sleep?She could not understand this. However, she did not want to find out for herself at this moment.Madeline held Jeremy’s head gently, and her fingers glided across his cheek.“I’ll always stay with you and I won’t leave you.”“Li
Immediately, Madeline had a lot of questions in her head. However, she did not have answers to any of them.After sitting on the bed silently for some time, she finally went to change and wash up.When she was washing up, she saw her true face in the mirror. The light in her eyes became slightly duller.She put back her mask and left her room to look for Eloise.Coincidentally when she walked past the corridor, she saw Jeremy walking out of the study.The man’s tall and slender figure was walking over elegantly. His extraordinary aura and temperament touched Madeline’s heart. At this moment, Madeline’s eyes met Jeremy’s.Madeline’s heart started racing for some reason after recalling what happened in the study last night. However, after looking into Jeremy’s eyes, Madeline did not know how to avert her gaze any more.Her heart was beating frantically, but the man seemed unmoved. His lively eyes were looking into hers calmly.Madeline started to feel even more confused about
