Meredith was ringing the doorbell.
This really surprised Madeline.
Three years had passed. Did Meredith not even have the key to the door here?
She was puzzled. She saw Jeremy frowning slightly with a deep gaze as if virtual-novel.net was thinking about something.
“Mr. Whitman, aren’t you going to open the door? Miss Crawford is here. She’s your child’s mother, after all.” Madeline smiled slightly.
Jeremy slowly raised his dark eyes when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net words. “I’ll only be gone for a bit. Wait for me.”
“Alright.” Madeline smiled and nodded. Looking at Jeremy’s turned back, a satirical smile appeared in virtual-novel.net bewitching and beautiful eyes.
‘Hmph, seems like you’re still not willing to be apart from her, right?’
The rain outside was heavy. When the door opened, the late summer breeze poured in. It was quite cooling.
“Jeremy, you’re finally willing to see me.” Meredith rushed to Jeremy with a sense of urgency.
She was not holding an umbrella, so virtual-novel.net was all soggy as if virtual-novel.net had run over in the rain.
As soon as virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy, virtual-novel.net tears came streaming down as if virtual-novel.net had suffered great grievances. Her voice was choked as virtual-novel.net spoke, “Jeremy, I hope you can understand my ignorance at the beginning. Think about our first child. If Madeline had not been so vicious, I wouldn’t have been forced to do something like that back then…
“I never thought about kidnapping or hurting Jack. I warned Tanner to take good care of Jack. I did this just to give myself and our first child a breather, Jeremy…”
Meredith said this as virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net hand to pull gently at the corner of Jeremy’s clothes. She faced Jeremy’s deep but cold eyes tearfully.
“Jeremy, shall we start over again? We should let the things of the past go. In the future, our family of three will have a good time, okay? Jeremy…”
Madeline could clearly hear Meredith’s hypocritical voice, and once again, virtual-novel.net was slandering virtual-novel.net and pushing all the fault on her.
Madeline glanced at the wine glass virtual-novel.net was holding in virtual-novel.net hand and curled virtual-novel.net lips unhurriedly. She let it go in the next second and the wine glass fell suddenly to the floor, breaking as it hit the ground with a crash. The red liquid eventually dyed the silver-white marble red.
Meredith, who was waiting for Jeremy’s answer, heard movement coming from the room all of a sudden. She raised virtual-novel.net gaze in surprise.
“Jeremy, who’s inside? Are there guests?” virtual-novel.net asked softly.
Jeremy glanced at virtual-novel.net lightly. “Why don’t you go back?”
Meredith’s face became stiff. She did not expect Jeremy to send virtual-novel.net back like this, but of course, virtual-novel.net was not willing to leave. She immediately pretended to be cold and hugged his arms. “Jeremy, I’m a little cold. I… Ah-choo!”
“Oh dear.”
“…”
Meredith had just deliberately sneezed to make Jeremy worry about her, but suddenly, she
heard the voice of a woman whispering from the room.
What made virtual-novel.net even more unable to accept the situation was that after hearing this voice, Jeremy turned around and headed back in nervously.
Meredith’s expression changed suddenly. “Jeremy!”
She wanted to stop him, but virtual-novel.net went on without hesitation.
Meredith hurried to follow. She saw Jeremy stepping into the kitchen quickly before crouching down.
At the same time, virtual-novel.net also saw Madeline crouching by the dining table as well as the shards of glass and the pool of red wine by Madeline’s feet.
“Vera Quinn?”
