Madeline was stunned when she saw Jeremy rushing over without hesitation.Yvonne heard footsteps behind her and turned her head abruptly. When she saw Jeremy, her expression changed. Then, she took her dagger and walked to Meredith before pointing it at her neck.“Jeremy, don’t force me. If not, I’ll kill Madeline!” Yvonne threatened.Jeremy only wanted to save Lillian when he suddenly heard Yvonne saying that she wanted to kill Madeline.He turned around and saw Yvonne holding the woman covered in blood who was tied to the tree.He looked closely and realized that the woman was Felicity.Since she looked similar to Madeline, Yvonne had mistaken her to be Madeline.She thought Felicity was Madeline, so she was releasing all of her resentments on Felicity.When he saw the wounds on Felicity’s face and head, Jeremy felt relieved.He did not turn around and ran straight to the car.“Handsome Mister!” Inside the car, Lillian screamed for help when she saw him. “Mommy! My mommy! P
She felt all kinds of emotions in her heart. Suddenly, she heard the crackling sound before an explosion coming from the car.When Yvonne saw that Madeline was unharmed, she almost exploded in anger.“Madeline, I’ll kill you! I’ll—”Boom!“Ah!” Jeremy kicked Yvonne away and pulled Madeline into his arms. Then, he ran forward with a serious look on his face.“Linnie, hurry! The car’s going to explode!”‘What?‘The car is going to explode?’Meredith was petrified when she heard this as she was still tied to the tree.Then, in an instant, sparks flew as a loud explosion filled the air.Boom!The airflow from the explosion was so strong that the flora around the place were all pulled from the ground.Jeremy carried Lillian with one hand and held Madeline with the other, protecting the mother and daughter in his arms.After a while, everything plunged into silence.Madeline lifted her head and the first thing she saw was the wound on Jeremy’s back. The dagger was still stabb
Felipe had never kissed a woman before.He did not kiss Cathy even when they were intimate that night.He also did not expect this woman to come up to kiss him so boldly.Damn it.Felipe frowned and pushed Cathy away without hesitation.His onyx-like eyes shone, but they were looking at the petrified woman maliciously.“I warned you to stay away from me.”Cathy sat up and looked straight at him. She blinked, her eyelashes wet with tears. “As long as I can be with you, I’ll willingly get close to you even if you’re a fire.”She looked at his bloody hands and held them gently in her own. Then, she leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss on the back of his hand.Felipe looked at the woman who was kneeling in front of him before pulling her toward him suddenly.Cathy lost all control when Felipe’s breathtaking face was magnified in front of her.However, before she could register what was going on, Felipe pressed her down on the desk. “Don’t regret this since you like me so much.”
“Really?” Jackson looked like he was in disbelief. “Daddy, let me look at your wound so that I can feel reassured.”Jeremy did not want to scare the little guy with his bloody wound, but he was extremely stubborn.He brought the little guy to the room without a choice. Madeline also followed behind them while Karen moved out Madeline’s way like she was avoiding her. She was also looking at Madeline like she had something to say to her.Madeline did not think that Karen was acting weird and only smiled.Jeremy took off his sweater in the room, revealing his fair torso. There was blood seeping out from his bandaged wound.Jackson blew on it while feeling heartbroken. “Daddy, you’re bleeding. Daddy, you must be hurting a lot, right?”“Maybe I pressed on it when I was sleeping.” Jeremy had not noticed the bleeding. Then, he caressed the little guy’s head. “I’m not in pain, so don’t worry about me, Jack.”After he said that, he saw Madeline walking over with a first aid kit and was s
Madeline was shocked. She did not expect Jeremy to kiss her.She wanted to push him away, but he held her even tighter.Jeremy’s faint cedarwood cologne invaded her nostrils and into her heart. It was as if his cologne had some bewitching properties.Madeline looked at the man who was kissing her deeply with his eyes closed. She blinked, her long eyelashes fanning slightly. Then, her hands reached up to grab his arm.Jeremy was ecstatic when he saw Madeline slowly giving in after initially rejecting him.He pecked her lips and detached himself from her. His narrow and deep eyes looked into hers as he said softly, “Linnie, let’s start over for the sake of the two children, okay?”“Mommy, Daddy, what are you guys doing?”Jeremy was anxiously waiting for Madeline’s answer when a curious voice came from the door.Madeline pushed Jeremy away and bolted upright. Her heart was beating loudly in her chest as a blush started creeping up her cheeks.“Jack, I have something to take care
Karen knew Madeline would bring Jeremy back home for dinner, so she was preparing the meal with the maid in the kitchen.She knew she had been unkind and unfair to Madeline these few years. Back then, she also despised Madeline when she was her daughter-in-law.However, a human heart was made from flesh after all. No matter how unbridled she was, she could not ignore the fact that Madeline had saved her that day.Even though she refused to admit it, she felt remorseful.Meredith walked over slowly and was curious when she saw this scene. Then, she heard the maid asking Karen, “Madam, why are there so many dishes? Are there guests coming tonight?”Karen was in a good mood today. “The young madam is coming back.”“The young madam?” The maid thought about Madeline. “Do you mean Miss Montgomery? Aren’t she and Mr. Whitman divorced now? Plus, you never seemed to like her as well, Madam.”Karen looked embarrassed. Then, she said, “You can get remarried after you get a divorce, so what
“What?” Karen leaped up abruptly. “Are you telling the truth?”“Why would I lie to you, Mrs. Whitman?” Meredith frowned, looking aggrieved. “Just look at my face and the wound on my forehead, then you’ll know that I’m telling the truth.”Karen lifted her head to look at Meredith. A second later, her expression darkened.“That b*tch! I knew she wouldn’t be so kind!” Karen was already biased toward Madeline, so she was easily swayed.Meredith felt pleased with herself but kept an innocent look on her face. “Actually, Mrs. Whitman, just think about it. Madeline hates you so much, so why would she save you? If you were Madeline, would you save a person who’s always going against you?”Karen stood in Madeline’s shoes, her face darkening even more. She blurted out before thinking, “If I were Madeline, I wouldn’t save such a horrible mother-in-law!”“...”Meredith almost burst out laughing when she saw Karen scolding herself.Karen felt awkward for a few seconds. Then, she started scr
His tone was frigid, and his eyes were even colder than his voice. “Linnie risked her life to save you when you were kidnapped last time. It’s fine that you didn’t thank her, but now you even want to target her! I’m really doubting whether you’re my birth mother.”“...” Karen was furious and frantic. “You even want me to thank her? Do you know that she slapped me and yelled at me that day? I would’ve been fooled by her if I didn’t have a brain!”Jeremy felt that he did not have anything in him to argue with Karen anymore.He grabbed Jackson’s hand. “Jack, I’ll bring you for a nice dinner outside.”“Will Mommy come with us?” Jackson looked expectant.Jeremy frowned. He had told Jackson to convince Madeline to come over for dinner tonight. However, it was all ruined now.He tried to call Madeline, but she rejected all of his calls.“Jack, Mommy has something to take care of, so I’ll accompany you today.” He smiled gently. “Right, where’s your sister?”“She’s with the other granny
