When he saw Felipe standing with Madeline, a cold chill immediately appeared in Jeremyâs eyes.He lifted his head to look over and Madeline could feel her heart skip a beat.Even though he was not the man she cared about, her body was still hinting to her that she still could not get away from his shadow.âJeremy?â Felipe walked out of the elevator in surprise. âAre you here to pick Maddie up?ââItâs none of your business.â Jeremyâs tone was cold. His eyes landed on Meredithâs face. âWhy did you hang up on me?ââSo youâre the one who called Maddie just now?â Felipe said with a laugh. âMaddie joked that it was a scam caller and hung up. Did you two fight?âAfter he said that, Madeline saw Jeremyâs face darkened.He stared at her. âWhat are you waiting for? Letâs go.âJeremy said and grabbed Madelineâs hand.It was already winter so it was very cold. However, Madeline could feel that Jeremyâs hand was burning.She fantasized about him holding her hand to cross the road consider
When Meredith saw Jeremy and Madeline walking in together, she was so mad her hands were already in fists. There was something sinister in her eyes but she could not do anything about it.However, when she saw Felipe, she was utterly shocked!That man was Jeremyâs uncle!She was feeling extremely uneasy. She did not expect that Jeremyâs uncle was the person who stood up for Madeline that day.Plus, this man even gave her a lawyerâs letter to sue her!She looked at Felipe nervously. She stood at one side and pretended nothing happened.Felipe saw Meredith as well. He averted his eyes calmly.Madeline was dragged by Jeremy to sit next to him. On the other hand, Meredith sat on Jeremyâs other side. The moment she sat down, she poured wine and took food for Jeremy like a perfect little wife.Madeline felt that she was being an eyesore. There were all kinds of food on the table but she did not have much of an appetite. Plus, because of her health, she could only eat bland things.â
Madeline was caught unprepared. She reached over to pull out some tissues to soak up the blood. She was frantic. She did not know why she vomited blood, however, she did not want to let Jeremy see this.âMadeline! I donât care if you donât want to eat, but why did you tarnish my food?âMrs. Whitman did not notice that there was blood in the curry Madeline vomited out. She pointed at Madeline and screeched angrily.âTell me before you come here next time so that I can get away from you! I donât want to see you ever again!ââDonât be mad, Mrs. Whitman.â Meredith ran over quickly to comfort her. However, she did not forget to look back at Madeline and smirked at her.She saw clearly that Madeline was throwing up blood.She knew very well that Madeline could not operate on her tumor anymore. Her lifespan would be shortened if she ate such triggering food now.If Madeline died, then her chance to be the legally wedded wife would be here.âAre you trying to gross me out?â Jeremy roar
It was freezing.It was so cold that Madelineâs heart froze instantly.However, she was hoping that it would get colder. It would be great if it was so cold that it numbed her entire body.That was she would not have to feel pain anymore, be it her body, or her heart.Jeremy saw that Madeline was not struggling at all. So, he stopped what he was doing and yanked Madeline up as she trembled.He saw that her face was as white as snow and there was no color on her face. She looked like a puppet that had its blood drained from its body. What was left was only its empty shell.Jeremy suddenly felt scared. âMadeline, MadelineâŚâHe was calling her name but she did not respond.âMadeline, donât play dead! Iâm asking you to talk!â Jeremyâs heart was beating so fast he felt as if it was in overload. A fear that he had never felt before started taking over him.When he saw that Madeline was still not reacting, he carried her and placed her on the bed.He hurried over to take some clean
After she said that, it felt as if the air around them had frozen over.Jeremy towered over the woman beneath him. âWhat did you say? Say it again.ââUs. Divorce.â Madeline repeated without hesitation. Those two words were firm and clear.The air became silent again. After a few seconds, Madeline heard Jeremy snorted. His eyes looked like they belonged to Satan. They were dark and they looked like they were about to devour her.âDivorce? Donât even think about it!âThose icy and bone-piercing words escaped from his seductive lips.âWerenât you so desperate to become my woman? Iâll fulfill your wish.âMadeline could feel herself breaking down while looking at his sinister smile.âI donât need you to fulfill my wish! Jeremy Whitman, I want to divorce you!ââIn your dreams.â Jeremy rejected her with no mercy. Then, he pinched Madelineâs jaw. âYou want to divorce me just because you have another man? Madeline, how shameless can you be?ââMadeline, how shameless can you be?âHis
âYou donât look too well.âWhen Madeline heard Felipe say that, she touched her face awkwardly.She was unwell. Her body was getting worse and worse so of course, she would not look too healthy.âAre you okay?â He asked considerately.âThank you for your consideration, Mr. Whitman. Iâm fine.âMadeline thanked him quickly before getting up.She remembered how she got Felipe involved because of Jeremy and she felt very apologetic.âYou can stop calling me Mr. Whitman when thereâs no one around.âMadeline hesitated and then she said, âIâll get going now, uncle.ââActually, Iâm only older than Jeremy by three years. I donât like being called uncle, so you can just call me by my name.âMadeline was taken aback. Then, she nodded. âThen Iâll get back to work, Mr. Whitman.âFelipe looked at Madeline and smiled. âGo on.ââŚMadeline focused on her work. She could only forget about the things and people that made her unhappy this way.Their one-month long project was already halfway
Jeremy said as he sat down. Meredith tugged at him pretentiously.âJeremy, I donât think this is a good idea. Maddie doesnât look too pleased.âMadeline wanted so badly to throw her glass of juice on Meredithâs face. She wanted to ask her which one of her f*cking eyes saw that she was not pleased about this?Amid the silence, Madeline heard Jeremy saying calmly, âWho is she to deny us?âHehe.Yeah, who is she?She had always been nothing to him.When Meredith saw that Madeline did not dare to say anything, she was extremely pleased.She put down her purse and sat down next to Madeline. However, she did not expect Jeremy to sit down next to Madeline.Meredith was taken aback, on the other hand, Madeline was surprised as well.However, based on their identities, there was nothing wrong with Jeremy sitting next to her.Despite feeling unhappy about this, Meredith did not dare to make a fuss. So, she could only sit next to Felipe.After she sat down, Meredith felt that this was
âIâll send you back.â â...â Madeline was shocked. While surprise was blown wide on Meredithâs features and she began to plead coquettishly. âBut you promised to go shopping with me, Jeremy.â âYou can wait for me here first.â Jeremy walked over to Madeline without even sparing Meredith a glance. âLetâs go.â âItâs alright. I can go back myself.â Madeline quickly rejected him. She had no idea what Jeremy was playing at, but she did not like the atmosphere it came with. âIs there someone else youâd prefer to send you back, if not this husband of yours? Perhaps another Mr. Whitman?â Jeremyâs gaze bored into her, the words left unsaid reaching her anyway. Not wanting to fight anymore, Madeline stopped protesting and let Jeremy send her back. Madeline could not help the joy then ran through her when she turned to find Meredithâs indignantly puffed cheeks about to explode. Jeremy took the guise of sending her back as an opportunity to warn Madeline. âDonât let me see you gett
