She should have stopped caring about them a long time ago. However, she could feel tears rising in her eyes when she saw Eloise struggling to walk.After Jeremy left Madeline’s place, he locked himself in his room in Whitman Manor.During this time, Yvonne and Karen came and knocked on his door. However, he ignored them every time.He sat there from dawn till dusk, constantly watching the wedding video of him and Madeline.His grandfather was right. He had fallen in love with Madeline a very long time ago. The best evidence of him choosing her as his life partner was when he married Madeline using the old master’s name.However, Meredith had fooled him for six whole years because of that promise he made when he was a kid.In the end, Meredith was just a phony.The girl he loved was the girl he had made the promise to back then.Jeremy leaned against the chair quietly. Suddenly, he burst into laughter.‘The person I love, no matter back then or in the future, will always be you
After Jeremy said that, the air around them froze.The anger in Madeline’s eyes was shaken. “Jeremy, what did you say?”The man looked at her pressing gaze and felt a pang of pain in his heart.“Jeremy, repeat what you said just now! Have you already known that our child isn’t dead? Do you know where she is?” Madeline could not control her emotions any longer. She grabbed the man’s shoulders and asked, “Tell me! Tell me now! Where is the child?”Jeremy felt devastated, and he blamed himself when he saw the tears in Madeline’s reddening eyes. “Maddie, calm down...”“Calm down? Do you think I’m able to calm down now?” Madeline scoffed and asked. Her gaze was as sharp as an icepick. “Jeremy, you don’t care about the child but I do! Do you know how painful it is to have your child separated from you? You won’t because you’re heartless! You only have that witch Meredith in your cold-blooded and emotionless heart!”“Daddy, Mommy.”When Madeline was about to question Jeremy, Jackson ra
Eloise and Sean had been worried that Madeline would not show up. When they saw her entering the living room with Jackson, their eyes lit up with joy.“Eveline! Eveline, you’re really here!” Eloise walked over to Madeline in excitement.Madeline looked at the bandages on Eloise’s leg subconsciously. When she saw that Eloise was still limping, she said flatly, “Mrs. Montgomery, you should sit down and rest in case your wound breaks open. I don’t want to owe you anything.”When Eloise heard that, she looked at Madeline sadly. “All mothers would want their children to be safe and healthy. I’ll be happy as long as you’re fine. You don’t owe anything to any of us. We’re the ones who have wronged you.”Sean nodded on one side. He was looking at Madeline with the same love and pain in his eyes. “Eveline, we’ve wronged you so much. If you don’t want to acknowledge us, then we won’t force you. Your mother and I are happy as long as we get to see you.”After Madeline listened to that, she s
After Jeremy heard what Jackson said, he furrowed his brows together tightly.His eyes were filled with sadness for Jackson, but at the same time, there was more anger that stemmed from shock and horror.He had no idea that Meredith was treating Jackson like that when he was not around.No wonder Jackson would become so down and strange. It was all because of Meredith.He clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands protruding.“What? Meredith is so evil!” Eloise and Sean were seething. They were furious and heartbroken at the same time. “She’s not human!”Madeline felt sorry for Jackson in her heart. Her chest was also filled with anger.She clenched her fists and looked at the silent man with contempt in her eyes.“Mr. Whitman, the love of your life really is something else. However, do you think that’s the only thing she did to Jackson?”Her tone was sarcastic as she told them what happened back then.“Back then, she slashed Jack’s face with a fruit knife to fram
“Really.” Jeremy nodded. “Trust me.”His voice was deep but gentle. Madeline looked at him like she was at a loss. After a while, she came back to her senses and pushed Jeremy’s hands away in dissatisfaction.“Remember what you said. Don’t make me hate you more.” She turned around and walked away after saying that.Jeremy watched as Madeline walked away. All of a sudden, he felt an excruciating pain in his heart. His mind was occupied with Madeline’s love for him and the admiration she had for him in her eyes. However, all those were in the past. They had become faded memories now…That night, Madeline could not sleep.She could not wait to see her child who was induced and stolen from her.She imagined the child’s face. What would she look like?She had to be extremely adorable.Despite her hatred toward Jeremy, she could not deny that he had extremely good looks. She looked pretty decent as well. As such, their child would not look too bad with their genes combined.However,
After Jeremy finished saying that, the crowd drew a sharp, astonished breath.Back then during the press conference of Montgomery Enterprise, they finally knew that Madeline was the true Miss Montgomery. They were also shocked at first, but they were more surprised by what Jeremy had said now.Who did not know that the young master of the richest family in Glendale was in love with Meredith Crawford? Why did it suddenly become Madeline Crawford now?Madeline should be the woman he despised the most.“Mr. Whitman, you mean that you’ve always been in love with your ex-wife, Madeline Crawford, and not Meredith Crawford?” a journalist broke the silence and questioned.“You got half of it right,” Jeremy replied. He stared at Madeline with tenderness in his eyes. “I don’t have an ex-wife because this whole time, I’ve only had one wife.”The journalists were stumped for words. “But Mr. Whitman, you divorced Madeline Crawford three years ago…”“There were indeed some contradictions and
“Your words were so touching, Mr. Whitman. However, it’s too bad that I’m not Madeline Crawford.” She denied it. Then, she chuckled sarcastically. “Even if I was Madeline, I wouldn’t forgive you nor give you another chance.”The hope in Jeremy’s eyes was crushed. His heart also plummeted heavily.Actually, it was not surprising for him to get this answer. However, when he heard her denying it, the words felt like a knife was slicing his heart.Felipe rushed to the scene immediately after he saw the live broadcast online.He pushed the crowd away and walked next to Madeline, his gentle and refined face filled with anger.He grabbed Madeline’s hand in front of everyone. His gaze was overbearing and possessive as he looked at Jeremy.“Jeremy, don’t force your hypocritical apology and love on Vera. She’s not your ex-wife Madeline Crawford who you used to abandon and tarnish. She’s my fiancée, Vera Quinn.”Felipe sounded like he was warning Jeremy.On the other hand, this was the fi
Jeremy started the car instantly.After Madeline heard his words, an expectant smile appeared on her cold face.Through the mirror, Jeremy could see that Madeline was holding her hands tightly. There were endless emotions in her eyes along with a hint of nervousness.Jeremy curled the corners of his lips when he saw the look of genuine happiness on Madeline’s face.He was finally seeing a smile on his face.However, after driving on the busy roads, the car ended up in a place where Madeline was familiar with.She was puzzled as she reminisced about the scenery outside the window.‘Has my child been living in April Hill this entire time?‘Then who’s taking care of my child?’The car came to a stop slowly as she was thinking about these questions.Madeline did not wait for Jeremy to open the door for her and got out hurriedly.Everything in front was not foreign to her. They were at the beach of April Hill.It was the depths of winter and the sea breeze was bone-chillingly co
