It had been five years and this was the first time Jeremy felt that Jackson’s voice sounded so nice when virtual-novel.net was calling virtual-novel.net daddy.
He walked over to Jackson and squatted. He looked at this small face with a gentle gaze. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but at this moment, virtual-novel.net felt that this child in front of virtual-novel.net looked more and more like Madeline.
“Jack,” virtual-novel.net suppressed the emotions in his heart and called out his name gently.
Jackson nodded. “Daddy, when can I go home? I miss Mommy. Not my mommy but Vera.”
Jackson emphasized.
Jeremy felt a tightness in his heart. “Jack, Vera is your mommy. You only have one mommy. Remember that.”
“I remember.” Jackson nodded. He waved the item in his hand. “I’m going to finish this bunny soon. After I’m done, I’ll give it to Mommy to protect her.”
The little guy started introducing his gadget.
Jeremy finally understood that it was a mini self-defense device.
He was surprised that the five-year-old kid would have such a talent. However, when virtual-novel.net thought about the microchipped bracelet virtual-novel.net gave to Madeline, virtual-novel.net felt that this child might have a gift.
Eloise walked out of the house with some tea and snacks. When virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy, virtual-novel.net was surprised.
“Mr. Whitman, when did you get here? Are you here to take Jack home?”
Jeremy looked at Eloise who was walking toward virtual-novel.net and got up slowly.
“Granny,” Jackson greeted Eloise cheerfully. His childish voice had a hint of joy that virtual-novel.net never had before.
Jeremy knew that it was all thanks to Madeline that Jackson had this transformation.
This child was brought into the dark by Meredith. Fortunately, his birth mother Madeline brought virtual-novel.net back to the sun.
“You’re such a good boy, Jack.” Eloise reached out a hand to caress Jackson’s hair. Then, virtual-novel.net sighed in reluctance.
“Even though Meredith’s behavior was extremely despicable and Sean and I hate virtual-novel.net to the bone, Jack is innocent. Plus, Jack is obedient and sensible. We truly love this child and we genuinely treat virtual-novel.net like he’s our biological grandson.”
Eloise pleaded in embarrassment.
“Mr. Whitman, if you don’t have time to take care of Jack, Sean and I are more than happy to take care of him. Also, I hope that you’ll let us continue taking care of him.”
Jeremy smiled in high spirits. “You don’t have to treat virtual-novel.net like he’s your biological grandson.”
“What?” Eloise was taken aback as virtual-novel.net face darkened slightly. “Mr. Whitman, are you saying that you don’t want us to see Jack anymore? Why? Sean and I genuinely love Jack, plus…”
“You don’t have to be so emotional. That’s not what I meant.” Jeremy interrupted in a gentle tone.
Eloise was shocked. Now, virtual-novel.net was even more puzzled. “Then, what are you saying, Mr. Whitman?”
“I’m saying that Jack is truly your biological grandson.”
“…” Eloise was utterly stunned. “W-What? Jack is my biological grandson? H-How is that possible?”
Jeremy nodded, and there was a self-mocking smile on his face. “Jack isn’t Meredith’s child. He’s Maddie’s son.”
“What?” Eloise was surprised and elated. She did not know whether to laugh or cry.
When virtual-novel.net knew that Madeline was virtual-novel.net daughter, virtual-novel.net was already heartbroken. Since Madeline was dead, as virtual-novel.net mother, virtual-novel.net did not have anything to hope for anymore.
However, if virtual-novel.net still had a living grandson, virtual-novel.net broken heart would be slightly healed.
“Also, I think you might not know this,” Jeremy said with gentle eyes, “Maddie is still alive.”
“…”
“Vera is Maddie.”
