Felipe grabbed Madeline's hand, then gently kissed the back of it while holding her slender waist tightly."Eveline, as long as you promise me that you will no longer have any contact with Jeremy and follow me wholeheartedly, I will give you and Lilian the best life."As he was saying these words, his eyes became hazier and dimmer.His slender fingers tore off the belt of Madeline's bathrobe and after the bathrobe was loosened, he could smell a more alluring fragrance.Facing Madeline who did not resist him, he curled his lips and smiled with satisfaction. His thin lips fell onto the side of her lips as he carried her up to the bed...The snowfall was getting heavier, and Madeline was wrapped in a bathrobe, sitting calmly by the window.She glanced sideways at Felipe who had fallen asleep on the bed and gave a sigh of relief in silence.It was a successful escape this time.‘Lilian, Mommy will be able to see you soon.’She said secretly in her heart. Then, as she raised her ey
Madeline felt that the person Felipe was referring to was Jeremy.Right at the moment when she had this thought in her mind, the car suddenly made a sharp turn, driving into a secluded alley before abruptly stopping."You have two choices now. One, have him give up on you completely and I will take you to see Lilian right away. Two, tell him the truth and don't even think to see Lilian in this lifetime anymore." Felipe's voice was like a nightmare ringing in her ears.Madeline pressed her pink lips together and replied, "I know what to do. I don't need you to tell me about it."After saying these words closely, she then opened the car door."If you can't make him leave here obediently, then I will use my way to make him disappear,” Felipe said as Madeline got out of the car.Madeline paused before proceeding to get out of the car. Her feet stepped onto the snow and made soft creaking noises.She walked toward the car that was parked not far away from them and clearly saw the out
He got up suddenly, his sharp and thorny eyes shooting toward Felipe. "You dared touch her?!"He was furious. His white palms pulled Felipe's collar up as he yelled, "Linnie is mine! How dare you touch her?! Felipe, I will kill you!"Madeline saw Jeremy turning furious all of a sudden. He even raised his hand and was about to hit Felipe.At this moment, the bodyguard behind her took out a pistol and shot a bullet directly at Jeremy.When Madeline came back to her senses and wanted to stop it from happening, the bullet had already flown out and directly hit Jeremy's hand.Crimson blood dripped onto the pure white snowy ground. With the red and white together, it created such a demonic color.Madeline felt her eyes tingling with pain. Her heart was terribly uncomfortable. She stepped forward, wanting to help Jeremy but was immediately stopped by the bodyguard. "Madam, do you still want to see Miss Lilian? If you decide to help Jeremy now, I’m afraid Miss Lilian will leave this world for
A sharp pain stemmed from the wound and started to spread.Jeremy glanced at the bleeding wound, unmoving. His head was filled with Madeline’s cold and resolute eyes and words. His gaze gradually changed.‘Linnie, you really don’t love me anymore.‘You don’t love me anymore.‘You hate me now.‘You even hate me so much that you don’t want to see me in this world again.’Jeremy gripped the steering wheel tightly, blue veins popping on the back of his fair hands.Seeing the men rushing toward him, Jeremy raised his murderous and sinister eyes before slamming his foot on the accelerator.The bodyguards in front of him were knocked into the air. After getting up shakily, they immediately drove to chase after Jeremy.Jeremy was not familiar with the roads in F Country and unknowingly drove into the secluded suburbs.The loss of blood made his face pale gradually. His body had also become colder and even his vision began to blur.“Linnie…” he muttered Madeline’s name as if he could
This elegant and delicate little face had become even more tender and exquisite.Her pretty little nose and tiny cherry-blossom pink mouth all had the shadows of Jeremy’s features.Lillian was all smiles, blinking her eyes as she walked toward Felipe. “Dad!”Felipe reached out and stroked Lillian’s small head. “Good girl.”Madeline frowned a little, wanting to take Lillian away and tell her that he was not her father.However, she was afraid of scaring Lillian.After all, Lillian was only four years old.Unlike her brother, she had grown up in a sheltered environment ever since she was a child—just like an innocent, oblivious little princess. At this age, she was not able to understand the adult world.Madeline really wanted to take Lillian away, but the security measures here were too tight.Felipe would take Madeline to see Lillian every day, and sometimes, he would reluctantly agree to let Madeline stay. There was always someone on guard outside the room, however.A few da
The man’s voice slipped into her ears, sounding husky and cool as usual.However, Madeline’s heart sank.Mrs. Whitman.He called her that.What did his ‘Mrs. Whitman’ mean though?Madeline calmly looked at the exquisite and stunning face, quietly heaving a sigh of relief.Judging by his outfit, he had also come to participate in the bidding tonight. Since he could appear here so dashingly, it seemed that his body was fine.“Mrs. Whitman, are you alright?” Jeremy asked with a faint smile.Madeline shook her head. “I’m fine.”“If you’re alright, then I’ll let go of you.” As soon as his voice fell, he quickly retracted his arms from her waist as though he felt no nostalgia at all.Madeline then saw Jeremy turning around and leaving. Her heart suddenly froze.She knew that Jeremy probably believed in her lack of feelings and indifference toward him three months ago.Madeline impulsively wanted to tell Jeremy the truth. She stepped forward toward him. “Jeremy—”“Eveline.”Feli
This word cut across Madeline’s heart like an invisible sharp blade.She watched Jeremy turn around unhesitantly, not even sparing a glance from the corner of his eyes.‘Jeremy, you really believed my cold, hard lie back then.’“It seems that he’s not as affectionate to you as I imagined he would be,” Felipe said with a soft smile, “There’s an important customer who wants to talk to me. You can eat something here first. I’ll come look for you later.”Felipe turned around and left, leaving Madeline to stand there in a daze.She walked to the long table, picked up a glass of red wine, and drank again.However, she could no longer taste the sweet and delicate fragrance of the red wine—only the bitter taste reached her heart.“Isn’t this Eveline Montgomery?”“Whose woman do you think she is? Didn’t she just marry Jeremy a few months ago? Why is she with Jeremy’s uncle, Felipe, now?”“Wealthy families are messy. I also heard that Jeremy and Felipe broke their relationship as uncle
It was Jeremy.She would not have mistaken the sound of his footsteps.Madeline hurriedly tidied up her state. She gently stroked her belly and pretended to stand beside the railing to get some air.She heard Jeremy approaching her step by step. Her heartbeat, accompanied by his pace, became more and more disordered.“It seems that you’re really living a better life after leaving a scumbag like me, Mrs. Whitman.”His sarcastic words came from behind, making Madeline distressed.Jeremy walked to her back. The moonlight was shining on her cold, fair skin. Her gown was swaying in the evening breeze while her beautiful back figure was reflected in his eyes.Madeline held up her elegant mask before turning around to meet his deep eyes with a chuckle.“I could say the same to you, Mr. Whitman. You also seem to be having a good life. You’ve found a new love so soon.”“It can’t be helped. After being driven away by Mrs. Whitman in F Country that day, I was really saddened. When I came
