His sudden voice startled Madeline and made her heart skip a beat. Her hand shook as the ball of paper that was supposed to be thrown into the trash can fell to the ground.She hurriedly reached for it, but Jeremy got to it faster.He stooped closer, and his delicate profile lightly brushed across her cheek.Their breaths intertwined for a moment.Jeremy picked up the ball of paper and was about to throw it away when he saw how weird Madeline was acting. When Madeline saw that Jeremy was about to open the ball of paper, she quickly reached out to grab it but was a second too slow.When Jeremy saw the contents of the examination report, his eyes darkened sharply. His delicate and handsome face instantly turned cold. Madeline noticed the change in Jeremy's facial expression, so she reached out again, grabbed the examination report, and stuffed it into the trash can.She was upset. She did not know if Jeremy understood the contents of the report. When she contemplated whether
She frowned and hurried away.After getting into the car, Madeline felt her abdomen and thought about the look in Jeremy's eyes.‘Was it anger, jealousy, or heartache?’Madeline could not tell.What Madeline did not want Felipe to know, he soon learned from his men.He seemed very happy. "Eveline, are you really pregnant with my baby?"Madeline did not deny it. If she denied it, she was afraid that Felipe would use any method he could to get rid of the child.She did not want to talk to Felipe about the child, so she changed the subject. "Tomorrow’s my grandfather's death anniversary. I'm going to the cemetery to pay him a visit.”Felipe immediately agreed to it. "Since the bidding for that piece of land has failed, I have something to deal with. I’ll get someone to send you there tomorrow." He smiled softly. "Eveline, this is our first child. Don't worry, even after we have this child, I’ll still treat Lilian as my own daughter.""If you really treat Lilian as your daughter,
Madeline watched the man walking toward her and her heart started racing.She was pregnant and was worried that Jeremy would behave irrationally, so she took a step back out of vigilance.When Jeremy saw Madeline's evasive behavior, he curled the corner of his lips and said sarcastically, "Mrs. Whitman, are you worried that I’ll do something to you? Are you afraid that I’ll hurt Felipe's child?""..."She was indeed worried that the child inside of her would get hurt, even though the child was Jeremy’s.Madeline swallowed the secret down and said indifferently, "You’re right. The child inside of me is very important to me. So, Mr. Whitman, please act appropriately.”As soon as she said that, Madeline saw Jeremy's eyes sink as they instantly looked colder."Since you’re so worried, take this umbrella so that you won't catch a cold."As he said that, he handed the umbrella in his palm to Madeline and took something out of his pocket.Madeline looked intently at it. Amidst the dr
The numbing pain her heart spread throughout her body again, and Madeline looked up to force her tears back.She could not cry again.She had to be strong for the child....After Madeline visited Len’s grave, she was sent to Felipe's villa.Felipe was in a video conference in the study when he learned that Madeline was back. When he found out, he ended the conference early.When he saw that Madeline's jacket was a little damp from the rain, he was a little concerned. "Didn’t you use the umbrella? Why have you gotten yourself all wet?”"It was just a tiny drizzle. It won't hurt me." She was cold and walked past Felipe as she went upstairs.Felipe had gotten used to Madeline's attitude. "You’re pregnant now. Getting wet in the rain will make you sick.”‘Getting wet in the rain.’Madeline looked down at the umbrella in her hand.Jeremy had given the umbrella to her in the cemetery not long ago, but his residual warmth on the umbrella handle had long dissipated."I assume you
Yvette looked into Felipe's eyes and smiled brightly. "Is this how you strike up a conversation with a girl? I don't think we’ve ever met each other because I’ve never been to Glendale before becoming Jeremy's girlfriend.”As she said, she moved closer to Jeremy's arm more intimately.Jeremy smiled and gently took Yvette's hand. The two of them looked very warm and sweet.Madeline turned around because she did not want to see the two of them getting lovey-dovey.Felipe glanced past Yvette and propped up the umbrella as he walked in with Madeline.When Karen heard footsteps, she thought that it was Jeremy bringing his girlfriend back, but when she looked up, she saw Madeline and Felipe walking side by side.The smile on her face disappeared in an instant. "Tsk, a rare visitor."Karen continued to mock, saying, "One is the uncle who wants to destroy Jeremy while the other is the fake ex-wife who wants to take her revenge on Jeremy! Pfft! Come on, tell me what the two of you are he
"What? You’re pregnant?" Karen looked at Madeline in amazement as her gaze gradually turned contemptuous. "Wow, Miss Montgomery, you really are amazing. After your baby is born, I wonder how I should call it.”"It doesn't matter what you call it. I’m the mother and I’ll teach it. It has nothing to do with you." Madeline was calm.Karen sneered and chuckled. "Eveline, you really are—""Eat your dinner," Jeremy interrupted in a cold voice and looked at Madeline. "Since you’re now pregnant, Aunty Eveline, please take care of your body,” he said and placed a piece of ribs on her plate. "I remember you used to like eating this.""Thank you, Mr. Whitman, but I don't like it anymore. You should give it to your fiancée. You don't need to worry about me."Madeline stayed indifferent toward him until the very end and did not touch the food that Jeremy took for her. She only turned to smile at Felipe.When Old Master Whitman watched that scene, his frown grew deeper.After the meal, Felipe
Madeline saw a touch of aggressive dominance and strength in Jeremy's eyes.She was worried that he would go out of control and do something to the child in her womb."Jeremy, you said that we’ve cleared everything up between the two of us. Since you don't love me anymore, stop pestering me." Madeline reminded him and struggled to break free from his grasp at the same time.However, the man curled his thin lips into a wide and handsome smile."Why are you so afraid of me? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?"The scent of wine that he carried on him blew toward her cheeks, making Madeline's ears become hot as she put her hand on her chest.She was a little flustered but tried very hard to calm her emotions to face him with a cold front."Jeremy, please remember who you are to me. I’m your uncle's wife, which makes me your aunt...""Shut your lips, Eveline Montgomery." He suddenly interrupted in a cold tone as he referred her to her full name."Eveline, what's the matter with y
Rain droplets were seen dropping from the sky outside the window, but to him, it was like a heavy downpour."I just got up here and saw her looking very down as she made her way out from here. Did something just happen?" Yvette set foot into the study room. Looking worried, she walked to Jeremy who was not speaking a single word. "Are you alright?""She said she hates me, to a point she wishes for me to be dead." Jeremy raised his pair of orbs that were reddened. His eyes were brewing with dissatisfaction and sorrow as he said, "She’s pregnant with Felipe's kid. It seems like she really doesn't love me anymore.""Perhaps she has her hardship that she can't speak off." Yvette comforted."What sort of hardship will make her willing to order so many people to kill me?" Jeremy smirked. He then turned around and added, "That day in F Country, if it hadn’t been for you, I might already be dead.""I was saving myself while rescuing you at the same time." Yvette let out a smile. "They mig
