When virtual-novel.net saw Felipe standing with Madeline, a cold chill immediately appeared in Jeremy’s eyes.
He lifted his head to look over and Madeline could feel virtual-novel.net heart skip a beat.
Even though virtual-novel.net was not the man virtual-novel.net cared about, virtual-novel.net body was still hinting to virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net still could not get away from his shadow.
“Jeremy?” Felipe walked out of the elevator in surprise. “Are you here to pick Maddie up?”
“It’s none of your business.” Jeremy’s tone was cold. His eyes landed on Meredith’s face. “Why did you hang up on me?”
“So you’re the one who called Maddie just now?” Felipe said with a laugh. “Maddie joked that it was a scam caller and hung up. Did you two fight?”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Madeline saw Jeremy’s face darkened.
He stared at her. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”
Jeremy said and grabbed Madeline’s hand.
It was already winter so it was very cold. However, Madeline could feel that Jeremy’s hand was burning.
She fantasized about virtual-novel.net holding virtual-novel.net hand to cross the road considerately so many times before. However, this searing heat was not what virtual-novel.net longed for.
“I’ll just go with uncle.” Madeline got out of Jeremy’s grip and walked toward Felipe.
Jeremy felt his hand slipping from hers and then virtual-novel.net was stunned.
“Uncle, please, let’s go.”
Felipe frowned slightly. Two seconds later, virtual-novel.net nodded and looked at Jeremy. “So, we’ll get going now, Jeremy. Maddie, let’s go.”
“Okay,” Madeline replied and turned around following Felipe.
She was scared that virtual-novel.net would hesitate if virtual-novel.net delayed this. She was scared that virtual-novel.net would follow the other man absent-mindedly.
“Madeline, are you sure you’re not coming with me?”
Before virtual-novel.net could leave, virtual-novel.net heard Jeremy’s questioning voice.
Madeline grabbed virtual-novel.net bag tighter with both hands. Her nails dug into virtual-novel.net palm.
She stopped and turned around. He saw Jeremy standing there alone. His tall and slender body looked lonesome for some reason.
However, the unhealed wounds on virtual-novel.net body started hurting dully. She felt as if a million bugs were gnawing on virtual-novel.net skin.
It was this pain that made virtual-novel.net reply, “I’m sure.”
Madeline said without hesitation. After virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net quickly caught up to Felipe.
…
The moment Madeline and Felipe arrived at Whitman Manor, Jeremy arrived as well.
The moment his car stopped, virtual-novel.net walked quickly to Madeline and wrapped his long arms around Madeline’s tiny and thin body. He was holding virtual-novel.net so tightly and virtual-novel.net could not get out of his hold.
Madeline’s heart started beating frantically. “Jeremy, what are you doing?”
“What do you think I’m doing?” Jeremy questioned. His deep eyes were staring straight at Madeline. “Grandpa longed to see us being all lovey-dovey. Don’t you want to make virtual-novel.net happy?’
“…” Madeline had no words. In order to make grandpa happy, virtual-novel.net was more than willing to improve virtual-novel.net relationship with Jeremy. However… “You don’t have to hold me so tightly.”
When Felipe saw this, virtual-novel.net said, “Jeremy, even though you’re in a fight with Maddie, you don’t have to do this. Didn’t you notice that Maddie was very uncomfortable?”
Jeremy chuckled lowly. “How do you know whether my wife is uncomfortable or not? You two have such an extraordinary relationship.”
There was double entendre to his words. He lowered his head and saw that Madeline was feeling reluctant to be held by him. He felt anger rising in his chest. “This is between us. Don’t try to meddle in our business.”
Jeremy said that and went in while holding Madeline.
Madeline looked at Felipe awkwardly. She could only let Jeremy have his way with her.
It was a family dinner but Meredith was also in the dining room while making no secret to virtual-novel.net presence. On the other hand, the old master was in his room and did not come downstairs as virtual-novel.net did not feel well.
