Looking at those expectant and confused eyes, Madeline wanted so badly to pounce into the man’s arms to seek comfort and release virtual-novel.net grievances.
However, when virtual-novel.net thought about Carter and his mysteriousness, Madeline had to control herself.
She wanted to laugh, but a single tear escaped from the corner of virtual-novel.net eye.
She removed virtual-novel.net hand from Jeremy’s hand and wiped virtual-novel.net tears away.
Madeline tried virtual-novel.net best to force a smile. However, virtual-novel.net knew the more good-looking and pleasant virtual-novel.net used to look back then when virtual-novel.net smiled, then the more hideous and unbearable virtual-novel.net was to look at now.
“I’m sorry. Did I scare you, Mr. Whitman?” Madeline lowered virtual-novel.net eyes and said softly.
Jeremy knew that Madeline was talking about virtual-novel.net face. He was indeed surprised, but not horrified.
“I know a good doctor and can take you to see him. Perhaps it’ll help you. Plus, aesthetic medicine is so advanced right now. It’s not difficult for you to restore your face if you want to.”
Madeline felt that Jeremy’s kindness came from the bottom of his heart when virtual-novel.net heard that.
However, aside from declining virtual-novel.net politely, Madeline did not know what else virtual-novel.net could say. “Thank you, Mr. Whitman. However, I don’t think I need it for the time being.”
When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline rejecting him, Jeremy felt as if virtual-novel.net was at a loss for some reason.
He wanted to look into Madeline’s eyes when virtual-novel.net spoke to her, but Madeline never lifted virtual-novel.net head to look at him.
“Right, do you need something from me? Why are you here?”
Madeline heard that and immediately tried to find an excuse. “I’m here for Mrs. Whitman. I just want to ask what time Mrs. Montgomery wakes up. I’m worried that I’ll disturb Mrs. Montgomery if I wake up too early.”
“She usually wakes up around eight o’clock.”
“Alright, understood.” Madeline nodded. After hesitating for a few seconds, virtual-novel.net said, “Mr. Whitman, why aren’t you in the room with Mrs. Whitman? It’s very late.”
“I’m reading some proposals in the study. I usually just sleep there when I’m tired so that I won’t disturb Linnie when I go back to the room.”
When virtual-novel.net heard Jeremy’s answer, Madeline did not know whether to feel joy or to be worried.
If virtual-novel.net was resting in the study, then it would mean that virtual-novel.net was not spending time with that woman.
However, the reason virtual-novel.net slept in the study was to not disturb that imposter.
Madeline had mixed feelings in virtual-novel.net heart. However, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to comfort herself.
The person virtual-novel.net cared about was not the imposter, but his Linnie.
“Quinny, can you make a cup of coffee for me? I’m a little tired,” Jeremy suddenly requested.
Madeline wanted to tell virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net wanted to rest early because virtual-novel.net was tired. However, after thinking about it, virtual-novel.net changed virtual-novel.net mind.
“Of course,” Madeline replied, “You should go back to the study now, Mr. Whitman. I’ll be right over.”
“Okay.” Jeremy nodded lightly. When virtual-novel.net lifted his head to see Madeline quickly going back to virtual-novel.net room, virtual-novel.net stood where virtual-novel.net was motionless while deep in thought. A moment later, virtual-novel.net looked at the closed door in front of virtual-novel.net before turning to the study.
Madeline went back to the guest room to change and put on a mask. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at virtual-novel.net current self.
She still had two light scars on virtual-novel.net forehead even though they did not look as obvious anymore.
The mask covered the wretched scars on virtual-novel.net face. Now, only virtual-novel.net eyes and eyebrows were showing. She did not look much different from how virtual-novel.net looked before.
Madeline quietly let out a sigh of relief before going to the study to look for Jeremy.
The door of the study was closed and Madeline knocked on it lightly.
“Come in.” Jeremy’s deep and alluring voice came from inside.
