Jeremy raised his eyes and looked over. His deep peach blossom eyes reflected the image of that bright smile and the little face that looked as pretty as an artwork.
“Didn’t you say that there’s a lot of stuff at work waiting for you to settle and you’ll be back home late? Why are you home already?” Madeline held the shopping bag that was filled with food. She changed virtual-novel.net shoes and walked to him. “If I knew you’d be back early, I wouldn’t have gone to the mall. I might as well have asked you to go fetch the items for me.”
Jeremy saw the lady before virtual-novel.net slowly approaching virtual-novel.net and was absent-minded for a moment before putting on a gentle smile.
“You could always send the servants out to buy these things. You’re the madam of the Whitman family. You don’t have to personally do all this trivial stuff.”
“How could I? I want to personally put in the effort for the kids,” said Madeline as virtual-novel.net smiled and looked at Eloise and Karen. “Mom, I’ll be heading to the kitchen. In a while, everyone will have cake to eat.”
“Alright.” Karen nodded. These days, virtual-novel.net was always delighted when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline. Before this, virtual-novel.net used to be dissatisfied with Madeline and would also reject her. Currently, virtual-novel.net was very satisfied.
Eloise seemed calm when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline’s smiling face.
“Sweethearts, I’m going to bake a cake for you all to eat.” Madeline bent down and touched Jackson’s head. Then, virtual-novel.net spun around, but before virtual-novel.net could take a step, virtual-novel.net turned back again. “Jeremy, why don’t we make it together?”
“I had the same thought as well.” Jeremy turned to look at Jackson and stretched his hand out to Lillian. “Lillian, come follow us.”
Lillian extended virtual-novel.net fair, little arm and placed it in Jeremy’s palm. However, virtual-novel.net big eyes were gleaming with curiosity as virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline.
Madeline smiled gently and offered virtual-novel.net hand to Jackson. “Come on, Jack. Follow me.”
Jackson saw Madeline who was smiling in front of virtual-novel.net and stretched out his hand hesitantly. “Where’s the purple crystal necklace, Mommy? Mommy, you weren’t wearing this skirt either when you went out.”
When Jeremy heard his son’s comment, his pair of deep eyes looked at the lady before him.
“Purple crystal necklace?”
“It’s a necklace that me, Lillian, and Pudding made together for Mommy,” Jackson explained, “Just now, Lillian even personally put it on for Mommy.”
Madeline touched virtual-novel.net neck after hearing it, then let out an astonished expression. “Oh my, the purple crystal necklace really is gone. I must’ve accidentally lost it when I was at the parking lot.”
“Linnie, did you fall?” Jeremy frowned. He was suddenly not concerned about anything else but whether Madeline had injured herself.
“It’s nothing, Jeremy. I’m fine. It’s just that my clothes were soiled, so I went to the nearest mall to buy a new skirt to change into,” said Madeline as virtual-novel.net looked at Jackson, “Jack really has great observation skills. I’m really sorry, I really didn’t mean to lose the gift you guys gave me.”
She put on an aggrieved look. Her delicate facial features on that perfect face just made anyone touched whenever they saw virtual-novel.net like this.
However, Jeremy could not help but feel that something was off when virtual-novel.net saw the smiling face before him.
The five of them entered the kitchen, then Madeline started baking like virtual-novel.net really knew the steps.
While preparing for the ingredients, Jeremy glanced at Madeline’s left hand and noticed virtual-novel.net empty ring finger.
He went over and subconsciously, virtual-novel.net grabbed Madeline’s left wrist.
Perhaps virtual-novel.net did not expect Jeremy’s sudden action. Madeline got a shock and trembled. She raised virtual-novel.net big, innocent eyes and questioned, “What’s wrong, Jeremy?”
“Where’s the ring? The wedding ring that I personally put on for you. Why did you take it off?”
Hearing Jeremy’s comment made Madeline flabbergasted as virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net ring finger. “Where’s my ring?! Damn it, did I lose it as well?!”
Madeline looked anxious and quickly bent down to search for it.
Jeremy released his hand and stared at his palm that was hovering in mid-air, frowning his pretty brows.
“Damn it, the ring is really gone!” Madeline was so anxious that virtual-novel.net eyes reddened. “What should I do, Jeremy? I lost our wedding ring.”
