Madeline noticed a dark outline in her peripheral vision. She realized that the outline turned out to be a man, and she quickly hid.However, while she was trying to hide, she noticed that the man was Jeremy.Jeremy locked the door behind him and sauntered to the bedside where Madeline was breastfeeding the baby.His elegant face was calm while his deep-seated eyes looked lifeless as he stared coldly at Madeline.Madeline no longer tried to avoid him and faced the man who was walking toward her, her ears suddenly getting warm.“What brings you here, Mr. Zimmerman?” Despite greeting him as such, Madeline knew it well that he was Jeremy Whitman.Jeremy looked at Madeline’s lips. “You’ve made my woman unhappy. So, I’m going to make you feel miserable as well.”Madeline was holding on dearly to the baby, gently squeezing the baby’s little finger. However, given the current situation, she could not take action rashly.The baby in her arms widened his eyes, earnestly drinking milk wi
Madeline was not bothered about the attitude Jeremy had while dealing with her but was bothered that from the beginning to the end, he had never looked at the baby at all.‘That’s his biological kid, yet he didn’t even bother glancing at him.‘People used to say one will have a sense for their biological kid, but to him, it seemed like he didn’t sense anything at all.“Jeremy, perhaps your heart now only contains that lady, Lana, right?”Madeline let out a smile helplessly and went back to the incubator. Staring at the baby who was sound asleep, she felt rather bitter yet comforted in her heart.On the next day, Madeline did not obey Jeremy’s order to head over to the villa.She would not believe Jeremy would lose all his humanity and harm her kid. However, when afternoon arrived, she left the ward for a moment and when she was back, a nurse approached her anxiously. “Earlier when I came in, I saw a man coming out from here. When I headed over to look at the young master, I notic
Jeremy was about to exert more strength, but after hearing Madeline’s comment, his grip loosened.He stared at her cloudy eyes, and he was eventually lost in his thoughtsRight then, Madeline’s tears fell on the back of his palm. The temperature of her tears seeped through his skin, traveling all the way to the bottom of his heart. The warm sensation made him snap out of it and return to reality.“Stop treating me as your dead husband,” said Jeremy coldly as he released his grip.“Cough, cough.” Madeline choked and gasped after she was released.His grip on her neck earlier was indeed painful, but it was nothing compared to the disappointment she felt from his cold and heartless orbs.Despite what she was going through, Madeline remained fearless. “The person who you care most about right now is Lana, am I right? If anything were to happen to my kid, I’ll make sure she pays the same price too!”Jeremy looked at Madeline’s sharp gaze with a look of disapproval on him and chuckled
He grabbed Madeline’s chin and kissed her without giving her a chance to fight back. With his right hand, he violently tore her clothes apart before biting down on her shoulder, leaving a row of teeth marks.“Hiss.” Madeline frowned in pain.Jeremy stopped and looked at Madeline’s tenacious gaze.“Is this the weakness you’re talking about?” There was sarcasm in his voice. “Eveline, I’m not your husband, so I won’t accommodate you nor do I have the time to coax you patiently. It’ll be best if you listen to me. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who suffers the most.”He left her with a threatening statement before removing himself from her.After Madeline heard the door closing, she remembered that Lana and Jeremy might have slept on this bed together before. Immediately, she felt disgusted and leaped out of the bed.She wanted to leave but could not open the door.Did Jeremy lock her up to slowly torment her?However, she just got the news that her child had been hurt by someone. As
He stood behind her while holding her hands in place, successfully trapping her.Madeline was slightly stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses to fight back, she found that the man was restricting her movements.She could not win against his strength.She did not understand Jeremy’s behavior. Was he not with Lana?Why was he still doing all these to her?If Lana was also the one behind Jeremy’s odd behavior, then everything would make sense.However, when Madeline thought about this, she felt more repulsed.She bit Jeremy on his lips, making the man more aggressive. Suddenly, he picked her up and threw her on the bed.“Don’t try to run away. Before you do what I want you to do, you can only stay here. Do you hear me?”Madeline clenched her fists, and in the end, she could only unclench them without a choice. “I need to make a call. I want to know how my son is.”“I can give you a chance to know how your son is doing, but you have to listen to me.”There was a
Jeremy indeed did not believe Madeline now. As such, he went to Whitman Corporation with her to watch her.The employees in the company were shocked when they saw Jeremy.“I-Isn’t that Mr. Whitman?”“How is that possible? Didn’t he die in that accident three months ago?”“Ghosts can’t appear in the morning, right?” A few timid employees ran away when they saw Jeremy.Jeremy noticed the employees’ reaction but was already used to it.He followed Madeline to her lab and saw all kinds of tools and spices arranged neatly. Then, he started admiring them.For some reason, he felt like he had been here before.Madeline put on her white coat and mask before mixing the fragrances. However, she could not finish this in just a few hours. In the process, Madeline heard Jeremy taking a call. It sounded like it was from Lana. His tone was so gentle. Before this, he would only use this tone with her and not with any other woman.After Madeline was done with the mixing, she wanted to drink
He kissed her hair like he was greedy to have her. Then, he pushed her away coldly all of a sudden. “Continue with your business.”This contradicting attitude seemed strange to Madeline.Then, he walked to one side to smoke. The brand of the cigarette he smoked was the one Lana smoked.Madeline knew she would be lying if she said she did not mind this, but she knew Jeremy would not listen to anything she said right now.The aromatherapy kit was done, but it still needed to sit overnight.Judging from Jeremy’s reaction, it seemed that he still wanted to take Madeline back to his place with Lana. She declined. “My son is only one month old and needs my breast milk to grow up healthily. I have to go to the hospital now!”She walked into the elevator with a firm attitude. When she saw Jeremy following her, she wanted to get into another elevator but the man pulled her back.She fought back but failed when he pressed her tightly against the wall of the elevator.The man looked strai
The coffee did not spill on Madeline, but on the other hand, Jeremy’s shirt became the victim.Naomi looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in shock. “You… Hans? Why are you here?”Jeremy looked at her coldly. “Do I need to report to you every time I’m with someone?”“...” Naomi was unconvinced, so she started targeting Madeline. “Eveline, now that your husband is dead, you’ve started seducing Rye because you can’t stand the loneliness, huh? I won’t forgive you so easily for what happened back then. Just you wait!”Naomi pointed at Madeline and left after she yelled at her.“Stop,” Madeline called out to Naomi sternly.Naomi stopped in her tracks and saw Madeline walking toward her.“Naomi, do you know that you’ll face legal action if I decide to look into you trying to harm me? Who gave you the courage to tell me that you’ll not forgive me? Was it Lana?”“...” Naomi did not expect Madeline to be so tough. How could she show her weakness? She shrieked brashly, “That’s righ
