Chapter 730
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Time passed and the sky started to turn grey. Then, it started drizzling.
Jeremy could not wait. He got out of the car and was about to barge in when he saw Cathy walking toward him with an umbrella.
Jeremy remembered Cathy because she was the one who had shown him directions the last time.
His instinct told him that Cathy was someone he could trust.
Cathy walked in front of him and advised him, saying, âMr. Whitman, you should go. Evie doesnât want to see you.â
âI have to see her. I have something important to tell her.â Jeremy insisted, his gaze unflinching. âTell her that Iâll wait for her here until she wants to see me.â
Cathy frowned as she found this difficult to manage. When she saw the resolution in Jeremyâs eyes, she felt so envious and heartbroken at the same time.
âMr. Whitman, Evie really doesnât want to see you. She wonât want to see you even if you wait here until nightfall.â
âThen I shall wait until nightfall.â Jeremy insisted. He lifted his head to look at the luxurious building. âI will wait here until Linnie wants to see me.â
Cathy felt that it would be useless even if she were to continue advising him, so she could only go back to the house while feeling helpless.
After a long while, Cathy went to look at Jeremy again. She saw him standing in the rain, staring straight at the building.
âIf Felipe would do this for me, I wouldnât have any regrets even if I were to die today.â She smiled and lowered her head to look at her stomach. Then, she walked into the living room on the second floor and saw Madeline sitting there drawing.
Felipe was in an online meeting in the study right now. Cathy felt that this was a rare chance for her to be alone with Madeline.
She was wondering what Madeline had that made her so charming that two near-perfect men like Jeremy and Felipe so deeply in love with her.
After walking into the room, Cathy saw that Madeline had completed a draft.
There was an angel on the paper. Cathy was taken aback when she saw the angelâs face. At the same time, she felt her heart aching.
That was Lillianâs face.
Cathy took a deep breath and walked over with a smile on her face. âEvie, this angel is so beautiful.â
Madelineâs pen stopped when she heard that. Then, she smiled softly and did a finishing touch.
âI think sheâs beautiful as well.â Madeline picked up the paper, her eyes softening. âIn my heart, sheâs the most beautiful and most adorable little angel.â
Cathy saw that despite Madeline having a smile on her face, her eyes were wet.
She could imagine how painful Madelineâs heart must be feeling right now.
Something was stuck in her throat. She wanted to tell Madeline but did not know how.
âIs he gone?â
Suddenly, she heard Madeline ask. Cathy immediately thought of Jeremy, so she shook her head. âMr.
Whitman said he has to wait for you. It seems that he has something important to tell you.â
Madeline blinked and lifted her head to look at the rain that was getting heavier outside the window.
âDo you want to listen to him?â Cathy asked. âMaybe he really has something important to say.â
Madeline lowered her head to look at the angel on the paper and fell into deep thought. Then, she heard Cathy say, âI think heâll keep waiting for you. He said heâll even wait for you until nightfallâ¦
Blegh!â
Before Cathy could finish talking, she covered her face and dry-heaved.
âWhatâs wrong?â Madeline looked at her curiously and asked in concern. Then, she realized that Cathyâs dry heaving looked familiar.
âEveline.â
Felipeâs voice sounded and Cathy lifted her head. Then, she saw Felipe walking over. Immediately, her expression changed.
Cathy placed her hands down and pretended that nothing happened. She stood up and smiled. âAre you done, Felipe? Then, I wonât disturb you and Evie. Iâll just⦠Blegh!â
Cathy started to speak when suddenly, she had an acid reflux and could not control herself. Hence, she dry-heaved in front of Felipe.
