The little guy turned around as he probably heard the sound of footsteps approaching. His cute and blank face was facing Madeline now. His bright and clear eyes were like glazed tiles as they blinked and stared at Madeline.The spark of hatred in Madeline's heart seemed to be extinguished in an instant. Then, it was replaced by unspeakable love and kindness.Tears stung the corner of her eyes and she suddenly had an urge to cry.âIf my babyâs still here, she would be as cute as him too.âAfter all, Jeremy was so outstanding. His offspring who inherited his genes would surely be as good-looking.Madeline bent over and stroked his delicate, cute face. âWhat's your name, honey?âThe little guy blinked and said adorably, âMy mommy and daddy call me Jack.ââMommy and daddyâ.Those words hurt Madeline.Her baby should have her mommy and daddy as well, but now...âMaddie, what are you trying to do again? You can do anything to me but please don't hurt my and Jeremyâs son!âMeredith
Should she go back with him?Madeline lifted the corner of her lips into a smile and answered sweetly, âOkay.âAfter she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Meredith. At this moment, Meredith's face was as black as charcoal and her lips were tightly pressed together. She was so pissed that she almost crushed her teeth.However, it was her contradictory appearance that made Madeline feel pleased the most. She was on the brink of explosion, yet she did not want to spoil her image of a gentle and loving woman.Madeline saw Jeremy walking toward Meredith. He was definitely going to comfort this two-faced b*tch.From a distance, Madeline saw Meredith holding her child while getting close to Jeremy with a pitiful look.âJeremy, I'm so afraid that Maddie will harm me and my child again. She has been in jail for three years, and she seems even more unhinged now.â Meredith complained to Jeremy.âJeremy, you didnât forget what you promised me when we were kids, right? You
Jeremyâs grip on her was strong, and despite Madeline struggling to escape, she was still forced into the car.Madeline did not know when he stopped thinking that she would dirty his car. He was even letting her sit in the passenger seat now.The sky suddenly became gloomy. Soon, it was accompanied by strong wind and heavy rain.Madeline's mood started to take a hit. Whenever it rained heavily, she would think of the night when she was inducted to give birth.In the narrow carriage, the fear in her heart was infinitely magnified. She did not want to look back on that dark night, that bloody night that separated her and her daughter.âJeremy, where are you taking me? Are you planning to kill me as well because I refuse to divorce you? I won't let you succeed again!â Madeline lost control of her emotions and she even tried to open the car door.She could not die. She had not avenged her daughter yet!Jeremy quickly locked the door and slammed the brakes.âMadeline, are you insane
âDo you see them? Mr. Whitman, thank you for your concern. You allowed me to live such a fulfilling life every day during my thousand over days in prison.âMadeline smiled bitterly, her hot tears falling on the back of Jeremy's hand. His slender fingers trembled lightly. He never knew that tears could be so hot.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Madeline heard the sound of the wiper wiping against the windshield.The air around her body seemed to quiet down suddenly. Madeline wiped away her tears, the look in her eyes becoming calmer all of a sudden.âJeremy, if I could do it all over again, I would rather that I never met you.âAfter hearing Madeline's words, Jeremy seemed to come back to his senses. He stared at her with his bottomless eyes.âMadeline, you have no choice. Youâve become my wife, and youâll never be able to change this fact in this lifetime.âMadeline sneered sarcastically, âOh? Really? Mr. Whitman, youâre saying that youâll never divorce me in this
Meredith pointed at Madeline and yelled at her. She abandoned her usual hypocritical and gentle image.Mrs. Hughes was not surprised by Meredith's fierceness and viciousness. It was obvious that she had seen Meredith's true face a long time ago.Madeline originally wanted to leave, but seeing Meredith being all flustered and exasperated at this moment, she simply sat on the sofa and parted her lips unhurriedly. âIâm the matriarch of this house, so is it strange that Iâm here? Whatâs weird is why an outsider like you is inside my house?ââYouâre the matriarch of this house?â It was as if Meredith had heard a huge joke. âMadeline, did you become stupid while you were in prison? Iâm the real matriarch of this house! And youâre just a dog whoâs chasing after Jeremy!âHer words were extremely insulting and slanderous. She looked malicious with her snarling teeth, and she did not have the demeanor of a young lady from a rich family at all.Madeline chuckled lightly. "If I were a dog, so
To be honest, Madeline was still extremely disturbed and uneasy. With her current ability, she could not fight Meredith at all.Furthermore, she could not read Jeremy's attitude toward her today.When she was thinking about it, there was a movement from the hallway.Madeline raised her head just as Jeremy's noble and elegant body came into her vision.The rain had not stopped yet, and his usual frigid temperament seemed a little colder because of the rain.He happened to look over, his eyes meeting Madeline's. His eyes were too deep. It was as if she would sink deep into his eyes with one more look.Madeline's heart jumped inexplicably. When she was about to avoid this gaze, she felt a gust of wind blowing by her side.Meredith clutched one side of her face and ran to Jeremy while sobbing. Then, she buried herself in his chest.âJeremyâŠâ Her voice trembled as if she had been greatly wronged.Alright.This two-faced bitch was about to start acting again.Madeline lifted the c
Meredith blinked innocently and harmlessly, her tone soft and weak.However, men seemed to be blind to the most obvious performances. A performance like this was especially effective on men.Madeline knew Jeremy would agree without even thinking about it. Soon, she saw him nodding. âStay, then.âSure enough.Madeline found it ridiculous, and she could feel Meredith looking at her provocatively from the corner of her eyes.However, Meredith could only feel proud for a few seconds as she soon saw Jeremy glancing at Mrs. Hughes. He ordered, âGo and prepare a guest room for Miss Crawford.âMadeline was drinking her soup and almost choked when she heard this.The triumphant color on Meredith's face almost completely disappeared in an instant.What the hell?Meredith felt that this was too unbelievable. âAm I the Miss Crawford he mentioned?âWhen she thought about it, Madeline felt that it was not right.How could Jeremy neglect the love of his life?However, the fact was that he
She had to stay alive until the day Meredith got her retribution!Madeline did not successfully leave Glendale. Jeremy would bring her back to Whitman Manor occasionally.Old Master Whitman was weirdly fond of Madeline and was oddly kind to her. He even patted her shoulder and said, âThis child looks so familiar. Do you think we were grandfather and granddaughter in our previous lives?âTo be honest, it was not only the old master who had this feeling, but Madeline also felt the same.The moment she met the old master, she felt like she had seen him before.Whenever Madeline went to Whitman Manor, aside from pretending to be gentle and kind to Jeremy, everyone was treating her as if she was an eyesoreâespecially Meredith.Initially, she was able to kick her away and get the position of Mrs. Whitman successfully, but now, they could not get past Old Master Whitman. Getting the position of Mrs. Whitman now was as difficult as flying.Monday afternoon, Madeline was looking for a jo
