Chapter 1592
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Carter sat leisurely at the desk and watched Madeline who was lying on the bed silently. His long fingers were fiddling with the recording pen.
After he turned the switch on, the recording pen repeated these sentences, âJeremy, Iâm home now. My phone is running out of battery. Iâll see you later.â
After listening to it a few times, Carter tossed the recording pen to one side.
Then, he took out a book about psychology on the table. When he was about to read it, he noticed signs of Madeline, who was on the bed, waking up from the corners of his eyes.
He closed the book, and his round fingertips glided across the book about hypnosis. He walked to the side of the bed.
âEveline.â
He called Madelineâs name softly.
Madeline furrowed her brows. She wanted to open her eyes, but it seemed as if she was stuck in a deep dream.
âEveline, imagine a gigantic crystal ball in front of you. Now, the crystal ball will bring you to the world that initially belonged to you. Now, open your eyes.â
Madeline was in a deep slumber, but after hearing what Carter said, she slowly opened her eyes.
Madeline blinked while looking at her surroundings. When she was about to sit up, she heard the manâs warm voice next to her.
âAre you awake?â
Madeline looked over after she heard the voice. While looking at the man who was looking at her with a smile, she stared at him for a while before sitting up slowly.
Carter reached out to help her up and Madeline did not reject him.
âCart, how did I fall asleep? What time is it now?â
When Carter heard Madeline addressing him this way, he curled the corners of his lips in secret and then replied, âYeah, you were tired, so you took a nap.â
Madeline knitted her eyebrows together. âI think I had a very long dream. I dreamt of a man who kept calling my nameâ¦â
Carter lifted his hand to stroke Madelineâs hair gently. âDonât think too much. Itâs just a dream. Get up and wash your face. My mom wants to see you later.â
âOkay,â Madeline replied. She got out of the bed and followed Carter into the living room. âIâll go back to my room now.â
âOkay.â Carter nodded. While looking at Madelineâs back as she walked upstairs, he curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
His hypnosis skills had not gotten worse at all compared to before.
However, he had to take out the crystal ball that he had not used in a very long time to hypnotize people with very strong willpower like Madeline.
Carter sat down leisurely on the sofa. However, the moment he picked up a book, Camille walked in hurriedly.
âCarter, I saw the news just now. Whatâs going on?â Camilleâs mind was full of question marks. âWhoâs this Eveline Montgomery? Is the Eveline you got engaged to the same one whoâs married to Jeremy Whitman?â
âYes, sheâs actually Jeremyâs wife, Eveline. Sheâs the daughter of the Montgomeries and theyâre one of the four richest families in Glendale,â Carter stated Madelineâs real identity with certainty.
âShe didnât get plastic surgery and thatâs her real face. However, she was involved in an accident that caused her face to be badly burnt, but it has recovered now.â
Camille finally understood. âI was wondering how it was possible for a plastic face to look so natural and so delicate.â She sighed ruefully. Immediately after, she remembered something. âThen why did she hide her identity to stay with you? What did she want? Do you still want to keep her around now?â
