Carter’s cold gaze swept across Ada’s face. “You can go back too.”
“…”
Ada pressed virtual-novel.net lips together. Although virtual-novel.net was very reluctant, virtual-novel.net did not have another choice. As such, virtual-novel.net could only pretend to be sensible and said to Camille in concern.
“Aunty Cammy, I’ll be heading back first. You’ve been busy the whole day today. Please rest early.”
Camille waved virtual-novel.net hand. “Go back first, then.”
Ada did not dare to say much and left soon after.
“Is virtual-novel.net still unconscious?” Camille’s tone was slightly dissatisfied.
Carter nodded. “Maybe virtual-novel.net has been too tense these days, so that’s why she’s like this.”
“Does virtual-novel.net already have three children with that Jeremy guy?”
Camille suddenly changed the subject, but Carter looked calm.
“I don’t care how many children virtual-novel.net had before this.”
“…Y-You don’t you care?” Camille was surprised and stood up. “Carter, do you like Eveline to such an extent?”
“I do.” Carter listened to the words virtual-novel.net said and smiled vaguely. “Rest early. We still have a lot to do tomorrow.”
“…” Camille still wanted to say something, but seeing Carter bluntly turning his back toward her, virtual-novel.net felt that it was useless to say anything more.
Late at night.
Everyone in Gray Manor had fallen asleep.
A tall and slender figure quietly entered one of the bedrooms.
Madeline, who was lying on the bed, heard the sound and suddenly opened virtual-novel.net eyes.
In the darkness, virtual-novel.net saw a familiar silhouette quickly approaching her.
“Linnie.”
Jeremy’s deep and alluring voice blossomed in Madeline’s ears.
Madeline sat up quickly. “Why are you here again?”
“Linnie, I’m here to take you home.” Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s wrist. Although virtual-novel.net was anxious, virtual-novel.net still knew the strength of his grip.
Seeing that Madeline was looking at virtual-novel.net without speaking, Jeremy decisively pulled Madeline to the door of the room.
However, after only two steps, Madeline suddenly stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks and escaped from Jeremy’s grip.
“Jeremy, leave now.” Madeline’s voice sounded very decisive.
In the darkness, Jeremy caught Madeline’s steadfast gaze under the moonlight.
“Leave.” Madeline insisted, saying, “Jeremy, if you continue to stay here, you’ll only place yourself in a more dangerous situation. I’m not scaring you. You saw the situation yourself earlier today.”
“As long as I can take Linnie home, I don’t care what danger I encounter.”
“But I do,” Madeline talked back indifferently, “I don’t want to see you, do you know that? Leave now. If you don’t leave, I’ll call for someone.”
Jeremy’s clenched hand loosened slightly, but virtual-novel.net still could not bear to let go.
Madeline furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows and shook off Jeremy’s palm suddenly. “Get lost!”
It was unknown whether Madeline’s movement was too abrupt and shocking, but Jeremy was thrown to the side and ended up slamming into the wall.
He let out a muffled sound of pain, and his body doubled over reflexively.
Madeline saw Jeremy touching his ankle subconsciously. Even though the moonlight was not so bright, virtual-novel.net still saw that Jeremy’s face was gradually turning pale. She felt virtual-novel.net heartstrings tightening. “Jeremy, what happened to you?”
