“Get out! Go! I don’t want to see you again!”
Madeline pushed the man out while in a daze and closed the door behind him.
Leaning against the door, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath and looked downward, realizing that virtual-novel.net shirt had been unbuttoned.
Who knew what would have happened between them if virtual-novel.net had not slapped him.
Her rationality seemed to have been devoured by his kisses and quiet apologies.
Madeline gripped virtual-novel.net open collar in relief that virtual-novel.net had not given in to the man again.
…
Madeline brought Jack to the outskirts to play over the weekend and found herself calmed by the fact that Jeremy had not appeared before virtual-novel.net again.
The day may have been chilly, but virtual-novel.net heart was warm.
Jackson’s innocent smile gave virtual-novel.net comfort while it also made virtual-novel.net heart clench.
There was hardly anything happy in virtual-novel.net memories.
The only memory virtual-novel.net had was of the day virtual-novel.net married Jeremy. For a moment, virtual-novel.net had been truly looking forward to the future and felt truly happy.
“Look at my little kite, Mommy. It’s flying so high up,” the child chirped in an elated tone.
Madeline smiled warmly. “Good job, Jack.”
“Can we fly a big kite when Daddy comes back from work, Mommy?” Jackson asked hopefully, “Why aren’t you saying anything, Mommy?”
Madeline immediately replied, “Anything you want, Jack.”
“Yay!” Jack clapped his hands joyfully.
Madeline smiled, then virtual-novel.net mind came up with memories of Jeremy’s crazed kisses the other night.
Her phone rang. Seeing that it was from Eloise, Madeline picked up.
“What is it?” virtual-novel.net asked straightforwardly.
“Brittany’s case will be reviewed tomorrow, Eveline… Are you coming?”
There was no way Madeline would forget about Meredith’s arraignment tomorrow.
“I’m not implying anything. Mom just wants to see you,” Eloise added as Madeline did not reply. “Eveline? Are you there, Eveline?”
“Come quickly, Mommy. The kite’s going to fall,” Jackson’s clear voice echoed through the microphone.
“Jack’s calling me. I’ll talk to you next time.” Madeline changed the subject and hung up.
Clutching virtual-novel.net phone, Eloise turned to look at Sean sorrowfully. They had never felt more hopeless than now.
…
Madeline arrived on time in the auditorium the next morning.
Eloise and Sean had already arrived. Seeing Madeline, the two quickly changed their seats to sit by her.
Madeline was shocked to see Diana also in court and with the court police watching over her.
Court began soon enough and Meredith was brought out. While virtual-novel.net had washed up, there was no covering up the hollowness and spots on virtual-novel.net face.
All that was once arrogant and bright about virtual-novel.net face was now downcasted and ashen.
Meredith’s eyes immediately fell on Madeline who had Eloise and Sean sitting by virtual-novel.net sides to defend virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was called up. She balled virtual-novel.net fists and glared enviously at Madeline.
Looking around the auditorium and realizing that Jeremy was not present, Meredith began to scream and shout, “I’m innocent! I didn’t kill Brittany Montgomery! She’s the one who killed Brittany! This woman!”
She pointed at Madeline.
“Your honor, this is the woman who killed Brittany Montgomery. Brittany was my best friend, so how could I have killed her? I’ve been framed! I have proof that virtual-novel.net was the one who killed Brittany! I have proof!”
Meredith yelled, which caused Diana to join in.
“So it was you who killed my Brittany, Madeline Crawford! How could you be living a life of impunity, you murderer?! I can’t believe my father even took care of you like you were his own granddaughter, you damned b*tch! Give me my Brittany back!”
