“He’s going back on his word, isn’t he, Linnie?”
Madeline nodded but did not reply. In virtual-novel.net mind echoed the words Ryan told Jeremy, “Not to mention that Eveline and I have already copulated as well.”
Her head throbbed, and virtual-novel.net suddenly opened the door to walk over to the trash can by the road where virtual-novel.net threw the cake away.
She turned around only to find Jeremy already standing in front of her.
The man did not say anything. Instead, virtual-novel.net placed a hand on the back of Madeline’s hand to pull virtual-novel.net into his arms. He tightly hugged her.
“No matter what virtual-novel.net says, it won’t change what I feel for you.” He comforted her, understanding what Madeline was worried about. “Let me deal with it, okay? I’ll make virtual-novel.net sign the papers.”
Madeline immediately looked up, virtual-novel.net eyes filled with worry. “Don’t go overboard, Jeremy. I don’t want anything to happen to you anymore.”
Jeremy could understand why Madeline was worried. “I want to be with you for a very long time, silly. I won’t go overboard again, I promise.”
“But do you know how scary you looked just now?”
“Did I scare you?” Jeremy asked with a gentle smile.
Madeline nodded, virtual-novel.net passionate eyes holding a serious look. “You didn’t even look that scary when you hated me back then.”
Jeremy felt his heart clench as virtual-novel.net chuckled. “I scared my Linnie, huh? Well, that’s not good. I’m sorry. Shh, it’s okay. Let me comfort you, hmm?”
He leaned down to seal virtual-novel.net lips with his, bringing virtual-novel.net into a deep yet chaste kiss.
“Let’s go home, Linnie.”
“Yeah, home. Our home.”
Looking at Jeremy, Madeline felt virtual-novel.net mood substantially lifting as virtual-novel.net got into the car.
It was still early when Madeline had Jeremy drive them to Whitman Manor.
It had been an entire day since they saw the kids and Madeline missed them a lot.
Entering the doors, Madeline was met with the sight of Lillian and Jackson quietly doing their homework at the coffee table.
Reminded of Jeremy’s cold attitude toward Lillian, Madeline said to virtual-novel.net again, “Be nicer to Lillian, Jeremy. She has never felt what it’s like to be loved by a dad before.”
Jeremy swallowed his words as virtual-novel.net turned to look at Lillian who was working hard on virtual-novel.net homework.
It had been half a year since they last met and the child seemed to have lost a bit of virtual-novel.net baby fat.
Her delicate features and virtual-novel.net fair skin made virtual-novel.net look like a doll.
She was his only princess.
However, Jeremy’s mind was ringing with a woman’s voice. “It’s impossible to completely rid your body of the poison anymore. This is the only way I can push your deadline, but you have to be prepared.”
The words echoed in his mind.
Jeremy reined his thoughts back and saw that Lillian was currently walking toward him.
In virtual-novel.net small hands was a piece of paper. The little girl’s round eyes were looking at virtual-novel.net with careful hesitation and hope.
Seeing the fear in the child’s eyes, Jeremy felt his heart clench.
He was the cause behind Lily’s fear and distance.
However, virtual-novel.net did not have another choice.
It was better to never have had at all than to have and lost.
Even so, Lillian was choosing to approach virtual-novel.net again. She had made virtual-novel.net way to stand in front of him.
Blinking virtual-novel.net round and clear eyes, the little girl stood before Jeremy and slowly raised virtual-novel.net adorable arms. She wanted to hand Jeremy a piece of paper.
Jeremy tried to ignore her, but his eyes fell onto the word that was written clearly on the paper.
He gulped as tears began to well in his eyes, blurring his sight.
