Madeline was shocked. She did not expect Jeremy to kiss her.
She wanted to push virtual-novel.net away, but virtual-novel.net held virtual-novel.net even tighter.
Jeremy’s faint cedarwood cologne invaded virtual-novel.net nostrils and into virtual-novel.net heart. It was as if his cologne had some bewitching properties.
Madeline looked at the man who was kissing virtual-novel.net deeply with his eyes closed. She blinked, virtual-novel.net long eyelashes fanning slightly. Then, virtual-novel.net hands reached up to grab his arm.
Jeremy was ecstatic when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline slowly giving in after initially rejecting him.
He pecked virtual-novel.net lips and detached himself from her. His narrow and deep eyes looked into hers as virtual-novel.net said softly, “Linnie, let’s start over for the sake of the two children, okay?”
“Mommy, Daddy, what are you guys doing?”
Jeremy was anxiously waiting for Madeline’s answer when a curious voice came from the door.
Madeline pushed Jeremy away and bolted upright. Her heart was beating loudly in virtual-novel.net chest as a blush started creeping up virtual-novel.net cheeks.
“Jack, I have something to take care of. If you want to stay here, then help yourself. I’ll come to pick you up later,” Madeline said and left the room hurriedly.
Jackson blinked his huge eyes and looked at Jeremy who was spacing out on the bed.
“Daddy, what’s wrong with you?”
Jeremy came back to his senses, feeling elated. He smiled and caressed Jackson’s head.
“Jack, I’m so happy.”
Jackson frowned. “Happy? You’re hurt but you’re happy?”
Jeremy looked in the direction where Madeline left, grinning profoundly. “Jack, do you want to live happily with Daddy, Mommy, and Lily?”
“Yeah!”
“Then can you do something for me?”
Jackson looked at Jeremy seriously, nodding without hesitation.
…
Even though Meredith managed to have a narrow escape from death, virtual-novel.net gained two scars on virtual-novel.net face.
She rested for a few days so that virtual-novel.net wounds could heal. However, it was not that easy for scars to fade away so quickly.
When virtual-novel.net recalled how Yvonne had hit and yelled at virtual-novel.net like a madwoman, as well as how virtual-novel.net even disfigured her, Meredith wanted so badly to strangle virtual-novel.net to death.
However, Yvonne was in jail now, so virtual-novel.net did not have a way to vent. Naturally, virtual-novel.net shifted all of virtual-novel.net anger onto Madeline.
If it was not for Madeline, Yvonne would not have sought revenge on her.
However, after Madeline and Jeremy exposed her, Meredith did not have any reason to get close to Jeremy. After virtual-novel.net thought about this, virtual-novel.net could only take action against that simpleton, Karen.
Meredith bought a lot of expensive skincare products and strutted into the house boldly after Jeremy left.
When virtual-novel.net saw the old master who was taking a breather in the garden, virtual-novel.net scowled at him.
If this old man had not tried to stop virtual-novel.net from marrying Jeremy back then, virtual-novel.net would already be Mrs. Whitman. She would not have lost everything.
Old Master Whitman sensed that someone was looking at him. Hence, virtual-novel.net turned his head slowly and captured the flash of grudge in Meredith’s eyes.
“Why does virtual-novel.net look so much like Maddie…” the old master muttered curiously as virtual-novel.net watched Meredith entering the house.
