Naomi clutched virtual-novel.net cheeks that were still hurting from the slaps. She felt that virtual-novel.net could not continue this anymore.
Madeline was almost fighting head-on with her. What made virtual-novel.net uncomfortable and feel strange the most was Jeremy’s attitude.
It was obvious that virtual-novel.net favored Madeline more now.
‘Did virtual-novel.net sense something?’
Naomi started to panic.
…
Madeline went back to the children’s room. After virtual-novel.net got rid of all virtual-novel.net displeasure, virtual-novel.net smiled and accompanied Lillian and Jackson with benevolence and gentleness in virtual-novel.net eyes. Finally, virtual-novel.net left their rooms after virtual-novel.net put them to bed.
She went to look for Eloise. After seeing that Eloise was sleeping soundly, virtual-novel.net went back to virtual-novel.net room feeling relieved.
After virtual-novel.net took a shower, Madeline removed the makeup on virtual-novel.net face. The red marks appeared once again in the mirror.
Indeed, it was just like Adam said. The red marks would not fade away so easily.
The effects of the gel were just like a mask with quick results. The effects after it was absorbed into the skin were just temporary.
Madeline sighed in disappointment and frustration. She put on virtual-novel.net mask to walk back to virtual-novel.net room and coincidentally, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy walking toward her.
“I have a lot of work to take care of today. You make a good cup of coffee, so can you make some coffee for me and rearrange my documents for me like last time?” Jeremy requested.
Madeline held virtual-novel.net worn clothes and hesitated before nodding.
“Of course.”
Jeremy smiled. “I’ll be waiting for your arrival.”
“Okay.”
Madeline replied and looked at Jeremy’s tall figure. She went back to virtual-novel.net room to tidy up virtual-novel.net clothes and hair before coming to Jeremy’s study.
At this moment, virtual-novel.net was sitting in front of his desk and his bony fingers were flipping the pages of the documents.
Madeline loved it when Jeremy was serious and focused. She did not disturb him. Instead, virtual-novel.net quietly went over to the coffee machine and started making coffee.
After virtual-novel.net was done, virtual-novel.net took a cup and placed it on the desk. After that, virtual-novel.net went to one side to help virtual-novel.net organize his documents.
While virtual-novel.net was doing that, Madeline’s eyes could not help but look over at Jeremy.
She stared at his handsome face and started to fiddle with the ring on virtual-novel.net ring finger absent-mindedly.
‘Jeremy, I know you have some feelings for me. That’s why you subconsciously choose to protect me and side with me.
‘I’m more than thrilled to be able to have this kind of treatment.
‘At least you’re not ignoring me like I’m a stranger. You’re even concerned about my emotions and protecting me from all angles.’
Madeline thought about this and showed a smile without virtual-novel.net realizing it.
Time slipped away silently, and it was already the middle of the night unbeknownst to them.
Madeline opened virtual-novel.net eyes to realize that virtual-novel.net had fallen asleep on the sofa without virtual-novel.net knowledge. There was even a blanket on her. She lifted virtual-novel.net head and saw Jeremy sleeping while leaning against the chair.
She got up hurriedly and took the blanket to tiptoe over to where Jeremy was. She placed the blanket on him.
She thought virtual-novel.net would be able to let virtual-novel.net sleep like this, but while looking at the faint melancholy and exhaustion in between his eyebrows, Madeline could not help herself and lifted virtual-novel.net finger to caress his eyebrows.
However, the man who was sleeping opened his eyes all of a sudden.
