Ryan suddenly reached out to hold onto her. Madeline flung virtual-novel.net away instinctively and freed virtual-novel.net hand from his grip.
Noticing Ryan’s bewildered gaze at her, Madeline realized that virtual-novel.net response was slightly overblown. “Sorry, Ryan,” virtual-novel.net said.
“It’s alright. I acted rashly,” Ryan said as virtual-novel.net supported the weight of his body with his arm. He stood up effortfully.
“I know that it’s difficult for you to accept that this has happened between you and me. I know that the only man you love is Jeremy Whitman. This shall remain a secret between the both of us. I won’t mention it to anyone,” virtual-novel.net told her.
Madeline understood what virtual-novel.net meant and knew that virtual-novel.net was being nice. However, what had happened truly happened. It was no use telling themselves otherwise.
Other people did not have to know about this, but there was no way virtual-novel.net could get past virtual-novel.net conscience.
She did not say anything, only simply nodding before leaving.
Madeline returned to Whitman Manor as soon as possible. Jeremy was not there, so virtual-novel.net took a shower in the bathroom.
She knew that this incident was not that simple.
Someone must have wanted to plot against Ryan and her.
Otherwise, how could virtual-novel.net lose virtual-novel.net consciousness all of a sudden?
Did something really happen between Ryan and virtual-novel.net while they were unconscious?
Madeline cracked virtual-novel.net head but still could not recall anything.
After showering for half an hour, Madeline came out of the bathroom. Jeremy had already returned home. He sat by the side of the bed and appeared to be flipping through a file of documents.
Madeline dried virtual-novel.net hair with a towel. She felt rather guilty at this moment to the point that virtual-novel.net did not dare to look virtual-novel.net in the eye.
“Why are you showering here?” Jeremy asked. He put down the documents in his hand and grabbed a hairdryer upon seeing virtual-novel.net coming out of the bathroom.
“I sweated a little. I didn’t feel comfortable, so I decided to shower,” virtual-novel.net replied by coming up with an excuse. After telling virtual-novel.net that, virtual-novel.net regretted it immediately.
She did not want to lie to Jeremy, but virtual-novel.net could not bring herself to tell virtual-novel.net the truth.
Jeremy did not suspect virtual-novel.net at all. He held virtual-novel.net hand and sat down on virtual-novel.net side of the bed. He then held up the hairdryer and started helping virtual-novel.net dry virtual-novel.net hair.
His actions were light and gentle. Madeline felt even worse when virtual-novel.net felt how much virtual-novel.net cherished her.
Who in the world wanted to scheme against Ryan and her?
Madeline could not guess who this person was, but virtual-novel.net was afraid that Ryan and virtual-novel.net were not the only ones who knew about this incident. The person scheming against them knew about it as well.
This person’s goal still remained unknown.
The next few days, Madeline did not visit Ryan anymore. She only contacted virtual-novel.net through the phone twice.
After that day’s incident, virtual-novel.net still did not know how to face Ryan.
On the other hand, Jeremy bought another luxurious villa. He even brought virtual-novel.net over to look at the property.
“Linnie, do you like this place?” virtual-novel.net asked her, his eyes glimmering softly. “The first step I want to take to start all over with you is to purchase a new home for the both of us,” virtual-novel.net announced.
Madeline did not have many thoughts about the new house. She stared intently at the man before her. “Anywhere is home as long as I’m with you,” virtual-novel.net said.
This reply alone caused sweetness to erupt in his heart.
He hugged and kissed virtual-novel.net passionately.
His current happiness healed the broken wounds at the bottom of his heart.
After the issue about the new house was settled, Madeline did not feel as burdened as virtual-novel.net did before.
On Monday morning, Madeline sent both of virtual-novel.net kids to kindergarten as the chauffeur was preoccupied with something. She had an urge to meet Jeremy as virtual-novel.net drove past the office of Whitman Corporation.
Although their relationship seemed rather awkward to outsiders, virtual-novel.net still wanted to see him.
Madeline took the elevator from the basement on purpose. As virtual-novel.net walked out of the elevator, virtual-novel.net saw the receptionists busily tidying document files. She noticed a parcel right next to her. After picking it up, virtual-novel.net saw that it belonged to Jeremy.
“I’m here to look for Mr. Whitman. I’ll bring it in for him. You can continue working,” virtual-novel.net said.
Upon seeing that it was Madeline, the receptionist was struck into a daze. She responded to virtual-novel.net after a while, “Thank… Thank you, Miss Montgomery,” virtual-novel.net said.
Madeline smiled and walked into Jeremy’s office.
He was on the phone. A faint smile appeared on his face when virtual-novel.net noticed her.
She did not disturb his call. She went to pour a cup of water for herself after putting the package on his table.
After returning from the pantry, virtual-novel.net noticed Jeremy standing before his table. He was holding a stack of photos and going through them one by one. The expression on his face turned colder with every photograph virtual-novel.net looked at.
“Jeremy, what are you looking at? Why is your expression like that?” virtual-novel.net asked.
