Chapter 1117

After Madeline hastily put on her clothes and cleaned up, she rushed downstairs.

When she was at the front door, she saw Jeremy standing cool in the courtyard.

He was wearing a coat, and his refreshing ash-colored short hair was fluttering in the wind. On the other hand, his smiling amber eyes were looking at the completely stunned Jackson.

“Daddy?”

Jackson had his backpack on while he ran toward Jeremy in surprise and joy.

Jeremy bent down and picked Jackson up.

“Daddy! It’s you! You’re finally home!” Jackson widened his beautiful eyes. Despite the changes in Jeremy’s appearance, Jackson was not suspicious of anything at all.

This was his daddy!

Jeremy looked at his son and smiled. “Did you miss me?”

“Of course!” Jackson answered without hesitating. Joy flooded his handsome face. “Lily missed you too,” Jackson said, pointing at Lillian who was walking toward them.

However, when Jeremy saw Lillian walking toward him, the smile and softness on his face disappeared.

He placed Jackson down but did not carry Lillian who was already in front of him.

Lillian could not speak, so she walked to him and held his leg. Then, she lifted her beautiful eyes to look at him while smiling, showing him her adorable dimples.

Even though Lillian did not say anything, her eyes had already expressed her fondness toward Jeremy.

Madeline watched this scene from afar, and her eyes started to water as she felt her heart melt.

She thought Jeremy would pick Lillian up as well. She thought he would pick this child up to give her the warmth and hugs that he did not have the opportunity to give before.

However, to Madeline’s surprise, she saw Jeremy pulling Lillian’s hands away and leaving coldly with Jackson.

‘Did he just leave?’

Madeline was shocked and confused when she saw that.

Even though Jackson was still young, he could sense Jeremy’s coldness toward Lillian.

Lillian stood where she was, dumbfounded. The light in her eyes started to dim.

“Daddy, why did you ignore my little sister?” Jackson stopped and asked.

“Your little sister?” Jeremy asked coldly, “Do you think she’s worthy to be your sister?”

“Huh?” Jackson opened his mouth in confusion. He did not understand what Jeremy was trying to say.

On the other hand, Madeline looked at the neglected Lillian and ran out of the house.

Jeremy saw Madeline running out. After their eyes met, Madeline zoomed past him and came to Lillian.

Lillian’s eyes were welling up with tears, and there was melancholy on her adorable face.

“Lily, Lily, don’t cry.” Madeline comforted in a gentle voice.

However, the little girl could not control her tears.

Madeline picked the child up and comforted her. She looked at Jeremy in confusion, but he only stood there and watched with a frigid expression.

When Karen heard Lily’s cries, she walked out of the house.

However, the moment she stepped out of the house, she saw Jeremy.

At first glance, she thought she was seeing things. After a few seconds, she finally confirmed that it was indeed Jeremy. “Jeremy, why do you look like that? When did you come back?”

Karen did not know that Jeremy had been infected with poison. She only thought he had been in F Country with Lana all this time.

Jeremy did not want to explain, so he only said, “This is my home. Should I report to you whenever I come home?”

“…” Karen was speechless. After spacing out for a while, she pointed at the house with a delighted look on her face. “Jeremy, you haven’t met Pudding, right? The child already knows how to walk and is so good-looking. Go take a look at him now.”
