Chapter 1624

He strode to the balcony and saw that Jeremy’s figure had passed through the guests. He was walking toward the door unharmed.

Carter did not expect Jeremy to have such jumping ability. However, he could not do anything right now.

He turned back to the room and saw Madeline who was still sleeping. He glanced at the crystal ball in his hand and walked slowly to the bed to wake Madeline.

After Madeline opened her eyes, she looked dumb for a brief moment. She was confused and ignorant about everything around her like she was a child.

After a while, she regained her senses.

“I saw Jeremy coming here,” Madeline voiced out the doubt in her heart.

Carter nodded. “He was here. He tried to take you away, but I’ve already driven him away.”

Madeline frowned upon hearing this. “He’s so annoying.”

“I won’t let him bother you again,” Carter promised. “After our wedding ceremony is completed, I’ll take you back to Glendale to settle down.”

“Back to Glendale?” Madeline looked puzzled. “Why are we going back to Glendale? Isn’t it good to live here?”

“Of course, it’s good to live here,” Carter said, turning slowly to face the French window. “However, going back to Glendale is something I must do.”

Madeline looked at Carter’s tall and strong back, her eyes flickering. “Why do you say that?”

Carter was silent for a while. Then, he looked back and met Madeline’s curious and beautiful eyes with a superficial smile.

“Let’s not talk about this. Get ready and I’ll take you to see the guests in a while.”

Carter deliberately changed the subject, and Madeline did not ask anything anymore. Rather, she obediently nodded and smiled at Carter. She raised her eyes and glanced outside the balcony.

After Carter left, he looked into Jeremy’s whereabouts immediately.

However, he could only see Jeremy leaving Gray Manor from the surveillance footage. After Jeremy exited the gate, Carter did not know where Jeremy had gone for the time being.

An extremely unpleasant look appeared on his face that rarely beamed with joy. Just as he was thinking of calling someone to follow after Jeremy, Camille pushed the door open and walked into the study.

“Carter, it’s almost time. You and Eveline should get ready to meet the guests,” Camille urged, her graceful and refined face full of joy. It could be seen that she was quite satisfied with Madeline now.

The most important thing was that what had happened last time had changed her view of Madeline.

Carter could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart now and give a slight smile.

“I’ll call Eveline now.”

“Okay, I’ll go down first and wait for you two to come down.”

“Okay.” Carter kept the small smile on his face. After walking Camille out, he went back to the original room to find Madeline.

When he saw Madeline standing by the balcony, watching the guests walking in the garden, Carter pondered before putting a smile on his face.

“Eveline, we should go down now.”

Madeline turned around when she heard his voice and looked at the man walking toward her. She headed to the bed, and her lips parted slightly in apprehension.

“There are so many guests, Cart. What if they don’t like me?”

“Their opinions are not important, you are,” Carter said, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment.

However, in the end, he still reached out his hand toward Madeline.

Madeline glanced at the palm of Carter’s hand, smiled, and placed her hand on it. However, when she was about to touch Carter’s fingertips, Madeline suddenly closed her eyes and lost her balance. She fell on the bed.
