Jeremy looked into Madeline’s curious gaze with a smile in his eyes. “Miss Quinn, what do you think is the most important thing in a relationship or a marriage?”
It was this question. Madeline was a little dazed, but virtual-novel.net was not absent-minded for long.
“I think it should be honesty and loyalty. Why are you asking this, Mr. Whitman?”
“If that’s the case, do you think I’m considered loyal to my marriage, Miss Quinn?” Jeremy asked following that.
Madeline was stumped for words once again. Immediately, virtual-novel.net recalled what happened between virtual-novel.net and Jeremy in the study a few days ago and also how virtual-novel.net had brazenly hinted at virtual-novel.net to be his personal secretary.
Was that loyalty?
He said virtual-novel.net wanted to get close to virtual-novel.net because of a feeling.
In addition, this feeling stemmed from the fact that virtual-novel.net was Eveline.
As such, mentally, virtual-novel.net had not let virtual-novel.net down. Meanwhile, physically… It seemed that virtual-novel.net had not let virtual-novel.net down from that perspective as well.
Suddenly, Madeline felt like virtual-novel.net was getting dizzy from virtual-novel.net own logic.
Jeremy curled the corners of his lips into a smirk when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline spacing out and staying silent.
“Why are you not talking, Miss Quinn?”
“…”
“Did you miss me the two days I was on a business trip, Miss Quinn?”
“…” Madeline could sense that something was amiss when Jeremy said such things to her.
However, virtual-novel.net could not help but feel the heat rising to virtual-novel.net cheeks. In order to prevent the man from saying something weird again, virtual-novel.net pretended to sneeze. After all, it was cold from the chilly wind.
Jeremy frowned and walked to Madeline.
He grabbed virtual-novel.net shoulder when Madeline was least expecting it and pulled virtual-novel.net into his broad warm embrace. He did not let a single raindrop fall on her.
However, Madeline was stunned. They were in the courtyard of Whitman Manor.
Was virtual-novel.net seriously holding virtual-novel.net so brazenly?
Was virtual-novel.net seriously going to hug a maid who was working for his family?
Madeline was feeling more and more conflicted. She escaped from Jeremy’s embrace.
“Mr. Whitman, did you have too much to drink? You’re being disrespectful toward Mrs. Whitman by doing this.”
Madeline could not help but roast Jeremy unhappily. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net legs and ran into the rain, going into the house.
Jeremy frowned when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline suddenly running into the rain.
He followed after virtual-novel.net closely and grumbled about his inappropriate behavior just now in his heart.
He had to bear the blame if virtual-novel.net got a cold because of this.
After Madeline ran back into the house, virtual-novel.net body was soaked and even the mask on virtual-novel.net face was half-drenched.
It was still early, but there was no one in the living room.
She knew that the children needed to go to school and Karen was usually the one taking care of virtual-novel.net youngest son. However, Karen and Eloise were not here now.
She looked upstairs subconsciously, and it seemed that Naomi was not here as well.
This large house was extremely quiet and everything seemed peaceful.
When Madeline was pondering about what was going on, virtual-novel.net heard Jeremy’s warm words behind her.
“Go back to your room to take a hot shower and change your clothes. Don’t catch a cold.”
Madeline looked at Jeremy from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes. She did not say anything to virtual-novel.net before going straight upstairs.
After showering and changing virtual-novel.net clothes, Madeline put on virtual-novel.net mask to walk out of the room again. She noticed that the entire place was still silent.
‘Weird. Where did everyone go?’
The more Madeline thought about this, the stranger virtual-novel.net found it. She walked forward, and when virtual-novel.net was about to go downstairs, virtual-novel.net suddenly heard a loud crash from the bedroom in front of her.
Judging from the direction of the noise, virtual-novel.net was sure that it had come from virtual-novel.net bedroom with Jeremy.
