“Jeremy, what’s wrong? What are you looking at?”
When Jeremy heard Madeline’s curious voice, Jeremy seemed to come back to his senses suddenly.
His long and thin fingers slid across the screen as though virtual-novel.net did not want Madeline to see something. He immediately locked his phone and placed it into his pocket. He got up and walked toward Madeline with a gentle smile. Then, virtual-novel.net grabbed virtual-novel.net shoulder softly.
“Linnie, what did Mrs. Gray say to you?”
When virtual-novel.net mentioned this, Madeline smiled. Her sweet dimples blossomed next to virtual-novel.net lips as well.
“Guess.” She decided to keep virtual-novel.net on tenterhooks.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s smile without blinking. He unconsciously lifted his hand to stroke virtual-novel.net cheek. His charming and deep narrow eyes were filled with heartbreak.
“It’s been a while since I saw you smile like this.” He sighed with sorrow. That statement carried a lot of complicated emotions.
Madeline immediately understood how Jeremy was feeling right now. She placed virtual-novel.net palm over the back of his hand lightly.
“I’ll keep smiling like this in the future. I know you’ll make me happy and blessed forever.”
When Jeremy heard that, virtual-novel.net felt his heart turning sweet and bitter at the same time. She was so amazing and yet virtual-novel.net only knew how to cherish virtual-novel.net after so long.
After knowing how to cherish her, virtual-novel.net was not able to protect virtual-novel.net fully.
“Linnie.” Jeremy kissed Madeline’s lips and pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms. However, this warm hug right now was not able to make virtual-novel.net feel at ease.
They had gone through so many arguments and conflicts. At the same time, virtual-novel.net also felt that a calm and peaceful life was hard to obtain.
“Jeremy, Carter agreed to cancel the marriage agreement with me. I won’t need to be restricted here soon.”
Jeremy’s wandering thoughts were brought back. “Did Mrs. Gray call you to say this?”
“Yeah, virtual-novel.net asked me to meet virtual-novel.net tonight in the restaurant on the seventh floor.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“Okay.” Madeline nodded. She leaned against Jeremy’s shoulder while feeling at ease. She closed virtual-novel.net eyes in anticipation, saying, “I’m dying to go home with you soon. I want to see the children and our parents.”
Madeline suddenly felt concerned and lifted virtual-novel.net head.
“Right, how’s my mother? Can virtual-novel.net talk now?”
Jeremy smiled gently and pinched the tip of Madeline’s nose. “You’ll know when you get home.”
Madeline felt a sweetness in virtual-novel.net heart.
The words ‘get home’ was the best phrase Madeline could hope to hear in a foreign country.
For their safety, Madeline and Jeremy did not go anywhere at all and only waited for the meeting tonight so they could cancel Madeline’s marriage agreement with Carter.
For them, all places were the same as long as they were together.
However, when Madeline was leaning against Jeremy’s arms for a nap in the afternoon, Jeremy took out his phone in annoyance and opened a conversation chat once again.
Looking at the contents of the message, virtual-novel.net could not help but frown.
At the end of the day, virtual-novel.net still had to take care of what virtual-novel.net should.
Jeremy thought about it and gently carried Madeline to lie down on the bed before considerately covering virtual-novel.net with the blanket.
He stood next to the bed and looked at Madeline who was sleeping soundly for a short while before turning around to leave.
After walking out of the door, virtual-novel.net decisively called the number that had messaged virtual-novel.net earlier. The moment the call got through, a familiar ringtone sounded behind him.
Jeremy stopped in his tracks and hung up the phone. A second later, a woman’s soft voice could be heard from behind him.
“I knew you’d contact me eventually.”
