After hearing what Camille said, Carter continued to flip through the book in his hand slowly.
He understood Camille’s concerns, but virtual-novel.net had his own plans.
“I know what’s virtual-novel.net purpose, so don’t worry. Everything’s in my control.” Carter’s tone was irreverent. However, the assurance in his voice sounded pretty confident.
After Madeline went back to virtual-novel.net room to wash up, virtual-novel.net went downstairs.
When virtual-novel.net saw Carter and Camille in the living room, virtual-novel.net walked toward Carter naturally and smiled before greeting Camille.
“Hello, Aunty Cammy.”
“…” Camille did not expect Madeline to greet virtual-novel.net like this.
After that night, virtual-novel.net had a pretty good impression of Madeline. However, when virtual-novel.net remembered Madeline and Jeremy’s relationship, virtual-novel.net felt a headache coming again.
She did not ask too much. Instead, virtual-novel.net smiled and walked away.
Carter placed the book in his hand down and walked over to Madeline. A warm smile appeared on his handsome face. “Do you feel better after the nap? Do you want me to take a walk with you?”
Madeline looked at Carter, and a sweet glint appeared in virtual-novel.net eyes. “Okay.”
“Okay.” Carter nodded and reached out to hold Madeline’s hand. However, halfway there, virtual-novel.net retracted his hand.
When they got to the car, virtual-novel.net gentlemanly opened the door for Madeline before getting in himself…
Jeremy was waiting for Madeline to come home. However, after a long while and after calling virtual-novel.net until his phone ran out of battery, Madeline had yet to come back. This entire time, virtual-novel.net phone was shut off.
While watching the time pass, Jeremy started to feel more and more anxious.
“Linnie, where are you?”
Jeremy could not sit here and wait. As such, virtual-novel.net decided to go to Carter’s place again.
However, when virtual-novel.net got there, virtual-novel.net was told that Carter had gone out.
Jeremy knew virtual-novel.net could not know more about Madeline’s situation since Carter was not home. As such, virtual-novel.net could only leave.
He tried to find some clues about Madeline along the road going back to Whitman Manor, but virtual-novel.net got nothing.
Madeline still had not appeared in his vision even when the sky was dark.
Everyone in the family including Jackson and Lillian started to worry.
They had waited until their mother finally came home after a very long time, but after less than a day together, their mother had disappeared again. This disappointment overwhelmed their little hearts.
Karen and Sean felt the same way. “Did anything happen to Eveline? How is it possible for virtual-novel.net to not come home after so long?”
“Did Carter really ask someone to send virtual-novel.net home?”
“I’ll go to his place again,” Jeremy said while getting up. He drove his car to the gates of Carter’s manor.
Carter was having dinner in the dining room at this hour. When virtual-novel.net heard the butler telling virtual-novel.net that Jeremy was here, virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline who was eating next to virtual-novel.net before dispatching the butler to make Jeremy leave. “Tell virtual-novel.net I’m busy and don’t have time to entertain him.”
The butler received Carter’s orders and went to tell Jeremy, “Mr. Whitman, Mr. Carter is busy. Please come again on another day.”
Jeremy kept his last ounce of cool. “I have some urgent business, so I have to see Mr. Gray now.”
“However, Mr. Carter is—”
“I’m sorry.” Jeremy ignored the butler’s perfunctory words and barged inside.
“Mr. Whitman! Mr. Whitman…” The butler went up to stop virtual-novel.net but Jeremy had already barged through the front door.
Carter heard the voices from outside and could guess what was going on.
However, virtual-novel.net was not frenetic or worried. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net continued his meal calmly.
After Jeremy barged in, virtual-novel.net saw the people in the dining room and walked straight over. “Mr. Gray, you said you asked someone to send my wife home, but… Linnie?”
Jeremy’s words stopped as abruptly as his footsteps near the dining table.
He looked at Madeline who was having dinner with Carter at the dining table and strode over to her.
“Linnie, you’re still here.”
