Chapter 661

Looking at the confusion on Madeline’s face, Eloise held her hand preciously. “Silly daughter, the reason is simple. It’s because he loves you.”

‘It’s because he loves you.’

The words that reached her ears fell onto her heart like strange needles.

“Three months ago, on the day before you were prepared to leave Glendale, I actually went to look for Jeremy.” Eloise recalled the situation back then. “I told him that you were leaving for F Country with Felipe the next day and hoped that he would stop you. But he just told me indifferently that not bothering and not pestering you was the last thing he could do for you.”

Not bothering and not pestering her…

Madeline chewed on those six words as if she was gradually understanding Jeremy’s distant behavior toward her now.

He had done it on purpose?

Purposely alienating her, treating her coldly, and drawing a clear line with her just to not let her know that he was seriously injured because of her so that he would not bother her anymore?

“I don’t know how much one person has to love another to do this, but I think Jeremy did it.” Eloise sighed silently, raising her eyes to observe the changes in Madeline’s expression.

In fact, she noticed that Madeline also cared for Jeremy.

Now that Madeline could not even board the plane because of Jeremy, it was the best proof.

……

Madeline stayed in Glendale again, so naturally Felipe did not go back as well.

On the way back to the villa, Felipe received a call from Felicity. Felicity told him that she met Madeline in front of Jeremy’s house not long ago.

Although he knew that Jeremy was now consciously distancing himself from Madeline, he realized that Madeline cared about Jeremy.

Felipe looked at Lilian who was sitting beside him playing. The corner of his thin lips lifted.

“Lilian.”

“Dad.”

“Good girl.” Felipe smiled and caressed Lily’s head, a subtle smile appearing in his slender phoenix eyes.

It seemed that he needed to do something more.

Night fell.

Jeremy was alone in his room, thinking about what had happened this morning.

Madeline’s sudden appearance had caught him off guard.

He had smiled forcefully and pretended to be free and easy, but he did not have the courage to look back when he called her ‘Miss Montgomery’.

She was clearly standing in front of him at such a close distance, but it seemed that she was across mountains and rivers, extremely far away.

He stroked the wedding ring on his ring finger to comfort himself.

The phone beside him suddenly vibrated, and he picked up the Bluetooth headset to answer.

Felicity’s gentle voice sounded from the other end. “Mr. Whitman, 7 PM tomorrow is a good time for psychological intervention. I hope you can come over for psychological treatment on time.”

“Got it,” Jeremy replied coldly and hung up the phone.

He raised his dull eyes and looked ahead. Only Madeline’s appearance was clear and profound in the dark void.

He thought about it all night.

The next evening, Madeline drove to the villa.

She was walking in when she happened to see Karen walking out.

Karen’s face instantly fell upon seeing Madeline. Her tone was extremely unfriendly as she said, “Madeline, why are you here? Have you not hurt Jeremy enough? Do you want our whole family to have no peace before you’ll be happy?”

Madeline did not want to argue with Karen. She calmly opened her mouth and said, “I came looking for Jeremy to discuss something.”

“There’s nothing to discuss!” Karen refused. “Jeremy became blind because of you and you still don’t want to let him go? When will you be satisfied?”
