Chapter 1483

Looking at those expectant and confused eyes, Madeline wanted so badly to pounce into the man’s arms to seek comfort and release her grievances.

However, when she thought about Carter and his mysteriousness, Madeline had to control herself.

She wanted to laugh, but a single tear escaped from the corner of her eye.

She removed her hand from Jeremy’s hand and wiped her tears away.

Madeline tried her best to force a smile. However, she knew the more good-looking and pleasant she used to look back then when she smiled, then the more hideous and unbearable she was to look at now.

“I’m sorry. Did I scare you, Mr. Whitman?” Madeline lowered her eyes and said softly.

Jeremy knew that Madeline was talking about her face. He was indeed surprised, but not horrified.

“I know a good doctor and can take you to see him. Perhaps it’ll help you. Plus, aesthetic medicine is so advanced right now. It’s not difficult for you to restore your face if you want to.”

Madeline felt that Jeremy’s kindness came from the bottom of his heart when she heard that.

However, aside from declining him politely, Madeline did not know what else she could say. “Thank you, Mr. Whitman. However, I don’t think I need it for the time being.”

When he saw Madeline rejecting him, Jeremy felt as if he was at a loss for some reason.

He wanted to look into Madeline’s eyes when he spoke to her, but Madeline never lifted her head to look at him.

“Right, do you need something from me? Why are you here?”

Madeline heard that and immediately tried to find an excuse. “I’m here for Mrs. Whitman. I just want to ask what time Mrs. Montgomery wakes up. I’m worried that I’ll disturb Mrs. Montgomery if I wake up too early.”

“She usually wakes up around eight o’clock.”

“Alright, understood.” Madeline nodded. After hesitating for a few seconds, she said, “Mr. Whitman, why aren’t you in the room with Mrs. Whitman? It’s very late.”

“I’m reading some proposals in the study. I usually just sleep there when I’m tired so that I won’t disturb Linnie when I go back to the room.”

When she heard Jeremy’s answer, Madeline did not know whether to feel joy or to be worried.

If he was resting in the study, then it would mean that he was not spending time with that woman.

However, the reason he slept in the study was to not disturb that imposter.

Madeline had mixed feelings in her heart. However, she had no choice but to comfort herself.

The person he cared about was not the imposter, but his Linnie.

“Quinny, can you make a cup of coffee for me? I’m a little tired,” Jeremy suddenly requested.

Madeline wanted to tell him that she wanted to rest early because she was tired. However, after thinking about it, she changed her mind.

“Of course,” Madeline replied, “You should go back to the study now, Mr. Whitman. I’ll be right over.”

“Okay.” Jeremy nodded lightly. When he lifted his head to see Madeline quickly going back to her room, he stood where he was motionless while deep in thought. A moment later, he looked at the closed door in front of him before turning to the study.

Madeline went back to the guest room to change and put on a mask. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at her current self.

She still had two light scars on her forehead even though they did not look as obvious anymore.

The mask covered the wretched scars on her face. Now, only her eyes and eyebrows were showing.

She did not look much different from how she looked before.

Madeline quietly let out a sigh of relief before going to the study to look for Jeremy.

The door of the study was closed and Madeline knocked on it lightly.

“Come in.” Jeremy’s deep and alluring voice came from inside.
