Madeline was shocked when virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy’s appearance. She did not know whether this was fate or just a coincidence.
Jeremy opened the door of the car, and after looking at Madeline, virtual-novel.net spotted Carter who was standing next to her.
The man’s gaze was deep. After virtual-novel.net examined Carter, virtual-novel.net asked, “Quinny, who is this?”
“Hello, Mr. Whitman. I’m Quinny’s fiancé,” Carter introduced himself. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net reached out his hand to hold Madeline’s left hand.
However, Madeline wanted to dodge reflexively the moment virtual-novel.net touched her. Even so, Carter held virtual-novel.net hand in a firm grip.
Jeremy could see Madeline furrowing virtual-novel.net eyebrows lightly. There was a contradicting feeling in his heart that virtual-novel.net could not put a finger on. However, in the end, virtual-novel.net did not show it.
“I specially drove my girlfriend here. From now on, my girlfriend will be working here, so please take good care of her, Mr. Whitman.” Carter smiled softly.
This was the first time Madeline saw a smile on his face.
Jeremy did not say anything and only nodded slightly.
Madeline used this opportunity to remove virtual-novel.net hand from Carter’s grip. She forced a calm tone to send Carter away. “I’m here now. You should go back.”
She felt anxious for some reason, especially when virtual-novel.net did not know what Carter was trying to do. Plus, virtual-novel.net had his suspicious bag.
However, when Madeline was about to turn around, Carter stopped her. “You forgot your bag.”
Madeline stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks. She did not expect that the bag was for her.
She could not display virtual-novel.net surprise. As such, virtual-novel.net quickly walked to Carter and took the bag. “I’ll go in now. Bye.”
After Madeline said that, virtual-novel.net took the bag and turned around quickly. She did not look at Carter anymore.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s back and took a look at Carter. He curled the corners of his lips in a subtle and faint smile before walking through the door.
Carter’s black eyes were examining Jeremy with a hidden meaning. He did not leave even after a very long time.
He watched as Jeremy chased after Madeline and even tried to help virtual-novel.net with virtual-novel.net bag considerately.
At the same time, virtual-novel.net noticed Madeline’s eyes and subtle gestures when virtual-novel.net was facing Jeremy.
Carter halted for a while. He only left when Jeremy and Madeline entered the house.
After they went inside, Madeline did not know whether this was a coincidence as there was no one in the living room.
She faced Jeremy and lowered virtual-novel.net head. “Thank you, Mr. Whitman. You can give me my bag now. I’ll go back to my room to tidy up.”
However, Jeremy did not have the intention of returning the bag to her. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net walked upstairs. “I’ll take this up for you. It’s a little heavy.”
“…” Madeline did not want to reject him, so virtual-novel.net followed virtual-novel.net upstairs. “Thank you, Mr. Whitman.”
“No worries.” Jeremy’s tone sounded casual. This was indeed making Madeline extremely confused.
Why was virtual-novel.net so friendly and gentle to her?
Madeline stared curiously at Jeremy’s back before following virtual-novel.net back to the guest room.
Jeremy placed the bag gently on the sofa. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around to look into Madeline’s clear wide eyes.
When their eyes met, Jeremy could feel his heartbeat getting erratic again. He even felt dryness in his throat.
“Cough.” He coughed softly. “If there’s anything, just tell me. The main reason you’re here is to take care of my mother-in-law.”
“Thank you, Mr. Whitman. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Mrs. Montgomery,” Madeline promised. Of course, virtual-novel.net was being sincere when virtual-novel.net said this.
Jeremy looked into Madeline’s eyes seriously. Then, virtual-novel.net parted his lips like virtual-novel.net wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Madeline could see Jeremy’s hesitation so virtual-novel.net said, “Mr. Whitman, do you have anything to tell me?”
Jeremy pressed his lips together. “Is the man just now really your fiancé?”
“…”
“Please don’t take offense. I just think that you don’t look like a couple from the way you interact and look at each other.” Jeremy was direct and continued, “Plus, I think your fiancé…”
