Chapter 1036

Madeline glanced at Lana. “I said, I have something to tell you.”

A faint smile appeared on Jeremy’s handsome face. “There are no outsiders here. My business is also my girlfriend’s business. If Miss Montgomery has something to say, just say it.”

Jeremy’s contemptuous attitude made Madeline’s heart go completely dead.

Just as she was about to speak, Lana walked over leisurely and leaned close into Jeremy’s side. Her tone was coquettish when she said, ”Jeremy, as your rightful girlfriend, I won’t bother your talk with this Miss Montgomery. I’ll go to the dessert shop downstairs to make a reservation. I’ll wait for you to come down and have afternoon tea with me later.”

Jeremy smiled at Lana softly. “Alright, you go ahead first. I’ll come down and accompany you soon.”

“Alright.” Lana curled her red lips and walked past Madeline with a complacent smile. “Miss Montgomery, I heard that you’re to be married to Ryan Jones soon. Since you can find a man to marry you just after your divorce, your methods sure aren’t simple.”

Lana provoked her arrogantly.

Madeline opened her mouth without urgency, saying, “Speaking of methods, how can I be compared to you, a little mistress who has an audacity that’s thicker than the city walls?”

“…” Lana’s expression suddenly collapsed. “Eveline, you—”

“Lana, you know in your heart what you are. If you want to continue handing me opportunities to shoot you down, then you can just continue to do so.”

“…”

Lana pressed her red lips tightly, her face pale with anger.

Thinking she had set up a trap to deal with Madeline before this only to be completely devastated by Madeline, Lana gritted her teeth and turned her head to smile softly at Jeremy.

“Jeremy, your ex-wife is really like a hedgehog. No wonder you didn’t want her. I’ll wait for you downstairs, so come quickly.”

Lana turned her body, stared at Madeline, and finally left.

Jeremy felt his body was much cleaner then. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard Madeline say to him in a cold voice, “Jeremy, I won’t stop you from seeing the children, but don’t you speak nonsense to Jack.”

Hearing this, the man quickly thought of his conversation with Jackson last night.

At that time, the feeling of reluctance that surged in his heart for the child made him blurt out those words.

Madeline looked at the man with a calm face and asked him in a deep tone, “What do you mean by looking for Jack’s grandfather and grandmother? Are you trying to tell me that my parents are still alive, or are you wanting to tell me that you want to atone for what happened to my mom and dad with death?”

Her emotions were gradually and involuntarily skimming the edge of collapse as she looked at the man with sharp furrowed brows.

“Jeremy, let me tell you this, even if you die, you can’t ever atone for my parents! Even if you really die, I won’t forgive you!”

Jeremy seemed to be listening to Madeline’s words calmly, but his right hand that was under the table was clenched till his fingertips turned white.

Madeline’s fists were also clenched as she looked at the expressionless man.

“Stop talking nonsense to my children, or I won’t let you see them again,” she solemnly warned. Seeing that he was still silent, Madeline walked up to him impatiently.

“Do you hear me, Jeremy? I won’t allow you to speak about these things with the children anymore!

You’re not allowed to use any negative and decisive means to atone for my dead parents.”

With these last words, Madeline could only choke on her sobs.

Jeremy let go of his clenched hands and stood up unhurriedly. He faced Madeline with a heavy expression, saying in an extremely cold tone, “What I want to do or say is not up to you. If you have time, you should go take care of your fiancé. I’m no longer your husband and no longer your man, so don’t come to me again.”
