Hearing this gentle and sweet voice, Jeremy slowly raised his deep gaze. He looked at the woman who was walking in front of him, and what he found during his investigation in Y Country these two days flashed across in his mind.Naomi saw that Jeremy was looking at herself so intently. As such, she pretended to blink shyly and then spoke in a coquettish tone.“Jeremy, I really missed you during the two days you were away. We haven’t had the time for just the two of us to have a candlelight dinner. Our parents and children are not here tonight, so let us enjoy the time with only the two of us, okay?”Jeremy thought of that night not long ago.He had a candlelight dinner with her in the restaurant.After that, he walked hand in hand with her on the street. He had even kissed her on the street where fireworks bloomed.“Jeremy, what are you thinking about?” Naomi approached curiously, trying to take Jeremy's hand, but Jeremy merely took off his suit jacket. She did not get to hook her
“It's to wake you up.”“…”“Do you really think that you can fool me, Jeremy Whitman, so easily? Do you think I can't even tell who my wife is?”“…”Naomi's flushed face suddenly seemed to be drained of blood. Now, she looked as pale as a sheet of rice paper.He knows?‘Did he see through me a long time ago?’Naomi repeatedly asked herself in her heart while panicking. From Jeremy's cold eyes that were shining sternly at the moment, she felt that she had found the answer.He had indeed found out about it a long time ago!During this period, he did not even have the intention to approach her at all!However, Naomi did not compromise. She tried to argue for herself and showed an aggrieved look. “Jeremy, I don't know what you’re talking about. How could you...”“I can tell you that there’s no banquet at all tonight. I was the one who distracted everyone in order to put an end to your performance tonight.”"..." Naomi looked at Jeremy in disbelief after he said this. This was s
Naomi did not even know who the woman in the car was, but she knew that this person had now mistakenly identified her as Eveline and said that she needed to work with her.Hearing the sound of chasing footsteps behind her, Naomi opened the car door without hesitation and quickly got in.“Drive now!”Ada did not know why Naomi was so flustered, but she did not hesitate and stepped on the accelerator.The moment the car started, Ada saw Jeremy coming from one side from the corner of her eyes. Although the light from the streetlamp was not so bright, Jeremy's appearance and facial features stunned Ada for a moment.This man was Jeremy.He looked even more attractive in real life than in the pictures she had seen.Ada pondered quietly and glanced at Naomi who was sitting in the back seat.Sure enough, that plastic freak looked exactly like this Eveline!‘Hmph, the technology for plastic surgery nowadays is so advanced.’Ada thought while feeling unconvinced. Then, she realized th
She put on a cold attitude. “I don't care who the person you like is. I just want to know why you came to me so late?”As Naomi's voice fell, Ada suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road.She turned her head and stared at Naomi a little angrily.“Don't you want to teach this person who’s pretending to be you a lesson? You’re Jeremy's wife and a famous socialite in Glendale, am I right?”“…” Naomi was stunned, then she stated her position, “Of course, I’ll teach this person a lesson. How dare she pretend to be me? I’ll make her life a living hell.”“That's right.” Ada was very satisfied with Naomi's reaction. “I’m like you, I also want to teach this woman a lesson. So, let's work together.”Naomi originally wanted to deal with Madeline. Now that Jeremy had seen through her, someone suddenly appeared and told her she would cooperate with her to deal with Madeline. Of course, Naomi could not ask for anything better.She agreed, “Okay, I’ll work wit
“Ah!”Cathy exclaimed in surprise.Following the blood-stained palm, she saw a familiar face.Felipe lay unconscious on the rainy ground, and his bloody fingers were weakly holding onto Cathy's trousers.“Ca-Cathy…”“Cathy...”Cathy repeated the word with Felipe, and after the last syllable, Felipe's hand that was tightly holding her trousers also loosened.After seeing Felipe suddenly losing consciousness in front of her, Cathy did not know why her heart seemed to ache so severely.The rain of late autumn penetrated her skin with a bone-chilling coolness, but a scene appeared in her head vaguely.It seemed to be raining cats and dogs as well. It had been at night when such a person fell in a pool of blood too. She had walked toward the injured man with an umbrella. She did not remember what happened afterward because the scene ended here.“I saw him running here just now!”“He must be nearby! Find him now!”“Don't let him run away again this time!”Suddenly, she could hea
‘However, it’s right to save people, right?’Cathy seemed to have found a reasonable reason for herself, so she wanted to turn around and leave.However, as soon as she got up, her eyes suddenly paused on Felipe's right wrist.She stretched out her hand uncontrollably and slowly held Felipe's arm. She looked at the red rope around his wrist and suddenly, a wave surged beneath her clear pupils and she saw a handsome young man accompanied by the rustling sea breeze.“Amy.”Adam’s voice suddenly rang behind her ears, and Cathy abruptly withdrew her wandering thoughts.Adam saw Felipe sleeping on the recliner at a glance. When he saw the blood trail across the floor, he walked to Cathy in astonishment.“What's going on? How did he get so badly injured?”“I don't know what happened. It seemed that a few men were chasing him and he happened to collapse in front of our house, so I dragged him in,” Cathy explained. Seeing the frown on Adam’s face, she apologized in a soft voice. “Adam,
Jeremy looked into Madeline’s curious gaze with a smile in his eyes. “Miss Quinn, what do you think is the most important thing in a relationship or a marriage?” It was this question. Madeline was a little dazed, but she was not absent-minded for long. “I think it should be honesty and loyalty. Why are you asking this, Mr. Whitman?”“If that’s the case, do you think I’m considered loyal to my marriage, Miss Quinn?” Jeremy asked following that.Madeline was stumped for words once again. Immediately, she recalled what happened between her and Jeremy in the study a few days ago and also how he had brazenly hinted at her to be his personal secretary. Was that loyalty?He said he wanted to get close to her because of a feeling.In addition, this feeling stemmed from the fact that she was Eveline.As such, mentally, he had not let her down. Meanwhile, physically… It seemed that he had not let her down from that perspective as well.Suddenly, Madeline felt like she was getting diz
Madeline hurried over and saw that the door of the room was opened. She lifted her eyes to look into the room and suddenly displayed a shocked, worried look on her face.She did not hesitate before running inside. She charged to the end of the bed and picked up Pudding who was lying on his stomach while playing alone on the rug.“Pudding, why are you here alone?” Madeline picked up the child and felt that it had been a long time since she took care of this child.Pudding blinked his clear and innocent big eyes. Then, he smiled foolishly at Madeline while looking at her.“M-Mommy,” the little boy called out childishly.Madeline felt her heart warming up. She lifted her hand to caress the child’s hair.“Good boy, Pudding.” Madeline praised. When she wanted to lower her head to kiss the little guy, she remembered that she was wearing a mask, so she got rid of this idea. “Pudding, tell me, why are you here alone? Where are your grannies?”“G-Gran…” the little boy said the word ‘gran
