Chapter 1636
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
She immediately realized who had arrived. This special voice remained freshly engraved in her memory.
Ada turned her head abruptly, and her eyes, filled with guilt, fell on Jeremyâs figure, silhouetted against the light outside.
She panicked and looked at Carter, but Carterâs expression remained unchanged, as if he had already expected Jeremyâs appearance.
Meanwhile, Madeline was much more certain that her man would appear.
She met Jeremyâs gaze, full of affection and longing, which filled her heart suddenly with a boundless sense of security.
She no longer cared what would happen next.
He was her most stalwart source of strength and support.
At this moment, murmurs rippled across the surrounding area, all were equally stunned by his appearance and curious at his stroll towards Madeline.
âWhoâs that?â
âI think Iâve seen him somewhere before. He looks very familiar.â
âI know who he is! I saw him on the Internet. He is the young master of Glendaleâs number one family, Jeremy Whitman!â
âWhat? So thatâs Jeremy Whitman!â
âWhy is he here in St. Piaf, and at Carterâs wedding, no less?â
As everyone voiced their disbelief, Jeremy walked over to Madeline and gently took her hand.
âIâm here to bring my wife home.â
âWhat?â
âW-What!? Jeremyâs wife is this Eveline lady?â
âCarterâs fiancée is actually Jeremyâs wife?â
âMy gosh!â
The exclamations came pouring one after another.
However, both Jeremy and Madeline remained extraordinarily calm and unperturbed. He held her hand, and this time, she did not break free.
âLinnie, I knew you remembered me.â Jeremyâs eyes were full of warmth, brimming with light once more.
âIf you had truly known, you wouldnât have been so persistent yesterday,â Madeline rebuked, but she saw that Jeremyâs eyes were twinkling with affection. Concerned, Madeline shifted her gaze to Jeremyâs injured ankle. âHowâs your foot? Is it still hurting?â
âNot after you treated it.â
âHow is it not hurting? You were bleeding so much.â
ââ¦â Carter watched as this scene unfolded next to him, an inexplicable feeling of unhappiness welling inside him.
Just as he was about to speak, Jeremy glared at him sharply.
âCarter, did you truly think that Linnie and I would yield to you and your manipulations?â
ââ¦â
âI dare you to use your status and power in St. Piaf to illegally imprison me and my wife. Otherwise, no one can stop me from bringing my wife home.â
As Jeremy finished raging at Carter, he clasped Madelineâs fingers and turned away with her.
Madeline briskly took off her wedding veil and got out of her dress, revealing the plain clothing she had prepared earlier in the morning.
Only then did Carter realize that Madeline had been preparing for this. He neglected to consider this.
However, at this moment, a few uniformed police officers rushed in, blocking Madelineâs and Jeremyâs path.
âWhich one of you is Eveline Montgomery?â
