Madeline raised her eyes with a little dissatisfaction, but she did not think Jeremy would be so close. His breath was warm, fanning her face. His beautiful and delicate facial features were softly reflected in her eyes.Her heartbeat abruptly quickened by a beat. Seeing Jeremy's face pale and weak, she turned her slightly hot cheeks away coldly but did not push him away.She took Jackson's hand and said gently, "Jack, come home with Mom.""Yeah, let’s go home. Jack will go home together with Mom and Dad!" Jackson blinked his big, lively eyes and nodded obediently.Next to Madeline, Jeremy felt the heat from her body and the corners of his pale lips pulled up into a satisfied smile.Once they returned to the villa, Madeline helped Jeremy into the room.After letting go of him, she turned around decisively."Linnie." Jeremy's low voice slipped into her ears like the cool night breeze outside the window. "Can you not leave?"Madeline turned to look back at the man's hopeful eyes.
Seeing Jeremy who was just looking at her like that while refusing to let go, Madeline raised her hand and pushed him hard.As soon as she touched his arm, Jeremy suddenly groaned in pain and his two swordlike eyebrows rose.Madeline then remembered that his arm was injured.As she was in a stalemate and did not know what to do, Jackson came.The little guy flashed his big eyes. Looking at the two individuals in front of him, he raised his cute brows in confusion."Mom and Dad, what are you doing?""..." Madeline glanced at Jeremy speechlessly, then smiled. "Jack, how about I go to bed with you first?"She thought Jackson would agree, but the little guy shook his head, "Dad is the one who needs Mommy's company the most today. Jack can sleep by himself.""..." Madeline was speechless.Jeremy bent over and touched the little baby's head, "Jack is really considerate. Don't worry, your mother will stay with me and never leave."Madeline gave him a dissatisfied look. "Jeremy."Je
After listening to Jeremy's words calmly, Madeline moved his arms away coldly and turned to face him."If you’re going to make an excuse, at least find a reasonable one." She looked at him contemptuously. "You said you love me? Your love for me allowed you to let Meredith trample on and hurt me?”Jeremy frowned and tried to pull Madeline's hand. "Linnie, listen to me first."Ding dong, ding dong!Just then, the doorbell rang.Jeremy's swordlike eyebrows were even more tightly locked as he turned to open the door, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.However, the moment the door opened, Jeremy's face instantly fell cold. "What are you doing here?"Felipe stood at the door. He glanced at Jeremy who had bandages on his hand, raised his eyes, and looked into the room. "Vera, it's me. Are you there?"Jeremy’s eyes became even colder as he kept Felipe outside. "Felipe, there’s no such person as Vera here. Leave immediately."However, as soon as his voice fell, Madeline had already walked
In her most helpless moment, he had watched indifferently.It was at that moment that she awoke. Her self-conceited infatuation was but an illusory dream.True love should not be so dark and cold.The air was quiet for a long time, then Madeline spoke again, "Jeremy, if you really want to apologize to me, then sign our divorce papers as soon as possible."Hearing the word divorce again, Jeremy felt as if he had fallen into the abyss once more.He saw the determination in Madeline's eyes. She would never look at him with that kind of loving and admiring look anymore.She would never call him ‘Jeremy’ softly again.This loss was caused by him.Seeing Jeremy silent, Madeline made her final decision. "I’ll wait for you to sign our divorce at the law firm tomorrow. If you still have any conscience at all, give me custody of Jackson. If you refuse, I will fight till the end."Hearing these words, the corners of Jeremy’s lips twitched as he sobbed quietly.He suppressed the painfu
Somehow, Madeline suddenly fell into a trance.Seeing Jeremy's signature on the divorce agreement, not only did she not have any emotions of being relaxed or free. In fact, she felt a small prickling sensation.Those fond memories from her youth, the throbbing secret love of childhood, and the failed marriage had all come to an end at this moment.Walking out of the door of the law firm, Jeremy looked at Madeline with nostalgia. "Linnie, can I hold you one last time?"Madeline should have refused, but she nodded her head as if possessed.Jeremy smiled slightly, then spread his arms to embrace her.He closed his eyes and greedily enjoyed this last moment of warmth. When he opened his eyes again, his vision was already blurred.Things could have been very happy.However, he had personally destroyed this happiness.He had hurt her deeply yet still tried to gain her forgiveness. He really was despicable. "Can I be with Jack for a few more days?"Madeline nodded gently. "Yes.""T
"There’s no need to thank me. It’s all because of you that I’m able to regain the things that originally belonged to my parents."When the words reached her ears, Madeline suddenly felt as if she had profoundly sinned.Being able to come back to life, her purpose was to seek revenge.She was delighted to see Jeremy in such misery, ending up with nothing left. However, she would not want to see the flames of her revenge affect Old Master Whitman.After Felipe left the scene, Madeline gave Jeremy a call.Jeremy was surprised when he received her call, but he still appeared at the place where Madeline wanted to meet him.After they met, he drove the car and finally arrived at a nursing home."Is this where Grandpa is currently staying?" Madeline felt it to be rather unacceptable."The environment and facilities here are very good." Jeremy then led the way forward.Madeline knew that for an old man, it would not matter how well his living environment was or how well he ate. It woul
Old Master Whitman’s gaze was serious.Madeline's heart thumped as she asked in confusion, "The truth of that incident? Grandpa, which incident are you talking about?"Old Master Whitman smiled kindly and gently. "Silly girl, the truth is, it was not I who decided the marriage between you and Jeremy."..." Madeline was dumbfounded. "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Weren’t you the main reason why Jeremy and I got married back then...""No." Old Master Whitman interrupted Madeline's doubts. "It was someone else. It was this person who had taken the initiative to look for me and ask me to host the marriage between you and Jeremy."Upon hearing this, Madeline felt even more lost. "Who is it? Grandpa, who is this person?""It was Jeremy.""..." Madeline’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Jeremy? How could that be possible? How could he be the one to initiate marrying me?""Because that b*stard liked you, but he was prideful and refused to admit it.""..."Madeline felt her heart i
‘He likes me?’Madeline still thought this reason was absurd.Even if he did say he loved her every now and then, the torture that had engulfed her in darkness in the past was still vivid.“I’ll send you back.” Jeremy’s voice suddenly rang in her ears and Madeline returned to her senses.She looked at the man beside her, her gaze full of questions.‘No, Eveline Montgomery. Don’t believe this man.‘If he had had any trace of affection for you, you wouldn’t be harboring such deep hatred today.’Jeremy noticed that Madeline was looking at him a little strangely. He delusionally wished that she still had some attachment toward him.It was a pity that a fantasy was just fantasy after all.Madeline called a cab by the roadside and went back alone. Jeremy only left after desolately watching Madeline who drifted away.Not long after he left, a figure entered stealthily into the nursing home.That person went straight to the front desk and announced, “I’m Old Mr. Whitman’s granddaugh
