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
At this moment, Jeremy was truly hoping that his vision had not recovered.What he saw hurt him a lot.His brain went blank when he saw Madeline allowing Felipe to carry her without protesting as they got into the car and left.‘Linnie, at the end of the day, you still don’t want to give me a chance.‘In the end, you still chose Felipe, huh?’As he watched the car drive away, he stood in the cold autumn wind and felt as if his heart had plunged into an ice cave. It was so bone-chillingly cold.Felipe had planned this dinner tonight.At this moment, he lifted his hand and caressed her heated face as he looked at Madeline who was leaning against his shoulder. Her face was extremely red.“Eveline, I’ll treat you better than Jeremy.“I’ll give you everything he can’t give you,” he said before kissing Madeline’s hair. There was a devious smirk on his handsome face. “Eveline, you’re mine.”Madeline could hear someone talking to her vaguely. However, her mind was all over the place
Jeremy finally spotted Cathy. His gaze looked solemn as he asked, “Where’s Felipe? Where did he take Linnie?”Cathy let out a sigh of relief and pointed at Felipe’s room without hesitation.Jeremy sped over and kicked open Felipe’s door.When he saw Madeline lying on the bed half-naked, he clenched his fists and grabbed Felipe’s collar. He was glaring at Felipe with his eyes like knives.“Felipe, you b*stard! What are you trying to do to Linnie?”Felipe dodged Jeremy’s punch and lifted his sharp gaze calmly. Then, he replied in an icy tone, “The woman on the bed belongs to me. What do you think I’m about to do to her?”“Linnie doesn’t even love you, so you best get rid of that thought!” Jeremy pushed Felipe away and leaned down to button Madeline’s clothes. Then, he picked her up. “Felipe, you’re so despicable for trying to get a woman this way.”He mocked sarcastically before leaving with Madeline in his arms.Felipe pressed his lips together, his eyes engulfed by flames of an
