Jeremy paused when virtual-novel.net heard Madeline’s queries.
He raised his long, almond-shaped eyes slowly. A cold, hard glint was reflected in his amber eyes.
The look in his eyes did not seem right.
Madeline felt extremely curious. She walked over to virtual-novel.net to take a glance at what virtual-novel.net was looking at.
However, Jeremy quickly kept the photos and put them inside an envelope. He then raised his eyes and smiled faintly at her.
“They’re just some photos from our collaborator. There’s nothing much to see,” virtual-novel.net said. He threw the file into his drawer and locked it. “Why did you come over all of a sudden? Did you miss me?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Madeline’s eyes crinkled in a smile. “I was passing by after sending the kids to kindergarten,” virtual-novel.net replied.
“So you’re here just because you were nearby?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“Yeah, just because I was nearby.” She chuckled coquettishly. The truth was, virtual-novel.net did not come over just because virtual-novel.net was nearby. She missed him.
Raising virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net noticed that the button at Jeremy’s collar was unbuttoned. Madeline raised virtual-novel.net hand to button it up. However, just as virtual-novel.net touched his collar, virtual-novel.net moved back and turned to take some documents from the table.
Madeline’s hand remained suspended in mid-air.
“Jeremy?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“I need to get ready for the meeting,” virtual-novel.net replied. However, it seemed like virtual-novel.net was intentionally explaining himself to her. “You haven’t been visiting Ryan these few days?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Madeline was still in the midst of wondering why virtual-novel.net was avoiding her. Upon hearing virtual-novel.net bringing up Ryan, virtual-novel.net gaze shone.
“I’ll just be causing more distress to virtual-novel.net if I go there. That’s why I’d rather not go,” virtual-novel.net explained.
“You’re so considerate toward him.”
Madeline detected a sense of jealousy from the way virtual-novel.net worded this sentence.
However, it seemed like virtual-novel.net was afraid that virtual-novel.net would get the wrong idea. Jeremy smiled faintly at her. “If you’re worried about his condition, you can go visit him. I trust you,” virtual-novel.net said.
Madeline looked at virtual-novel.net in disbelief. “Jeremy, you really don’t mind me visiting Ryan?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“I mind it,” virtual-novel.net replied curtly, “But if that’s something you want to do, I won’t stop you from doing so.”
His words touched Madeline’s heart. Nevertheless, the image of the incident that occurred that day in the hotel floated into virtual-novel.net mind.
Although it was part of someone’s scheme, virtual-novel.net could not help but feel that virtual-novel.net had done something to betray Jeremy.
Since Jeremy would be attending a meeting, virtual-novel.net did not stay for long either.
The moment virtual-novel.net stepped out of the office, Jeremy took out the envelope virtual-novel.net had thrown into the drawer just now.
He picked one of the photos and took a glance at it. A cloud of darkness seeped into his eyes.
He did not attend any meetings. Instead, virtual-novel.net drove over to Ryan’s house.
The servants, who were cleaning up the courtyard, could not stop virtual-novel.net in time. Jeremy rushed into the house like a whirlwind.
Ryan had just come back from the hospital after changing the dressings on his wound. Before virtual-novel.net could take a seat, Jeremy appeared before him.
Mrs. Jones recognized Jeremy at first sight. She had not forgotten how virtual-novel.net almost snapped virtual-novel.net wrist in half just to protect Eveline Montgomery that day.
“It’s you? Why are you here? How dare you enter our house?”
Braving herself against him, Mrs. Jones questioned virtual-novel.net cynically.
“I know you’re from the Whitman family. You’ve been given the title of the prince of the wealthiest family in Glendale. Hmph! A person like you going around snatching someone else’s wife, don’t you have any shame?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Once virtual-novel.net stopped talking, virtual-novel.net sensed a gust of chilly air blowing against her.
Jeremy stared at Mrs. Jones coldly. His gaze then fell on Ryan. “If you don’t want your family to get involved, stay as far from virtual-novel.net as possible.”
