Chapter 780
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
She smiled slightly when she saw the old man looking at her with distress.
âGrandpa, Iâm glad to be a family with you again.â
Old Master Whitman raised his hand strenuously to hold Madelineâs own. âMy child, Iâm also very happy. Thank you for giving Jeremy a second chance.â
âJeremy won this opportunity for himself. You donât have to thank me.â
She recalled what had happened during this period of time, how the man had repeatedly dashed on bravely with no thought of personal safety. His sincerity and his regret⦠She had seen it all.
Madeline realized then that Jeremy seemed to be missing.
Where could he have gone this early in the morning?
Madeline walked to the side and called Jeremy. After her call was answered, she immediately asked, âJeremy, where are you?â
She threw out her question and was still waiting for Jeremyâs answer when she heard Meredithâs voice coming from the other end. âJeremy, Iâm so afraid to live in a hotel alone. Iâll die without you. Can you not leave me?â
Madelineâs fingers tightened. Did Jeremy go out this early just to look for Meredith?
Before Jeremy could speak, Madeline hung up and drove to the hotel where Meredith was staying at.
She immediately found the manager from before and asked them for the room card to Meredithâs room.
When she arrived at the room, Madeline swiped the card decisively.
The room door opened with a beep and Madeline walked in to see Meredith hugging Jeremy tightly.
She was crying aggrievedly in his arms, just like a pitiful little white flower.
Madeline could not be more familiar with this scheming behavior.
Jeremyâs expression was indifferent and even a little impatient.
Meredith saw Madeline coming in, so she quietly lifted her red lips and smiled smugly.
However, Madeline was not at all courteous to her. She stepped forward and grabbed Meredithâs hand that was hugging onto Jeremy tightly, pushing her away.
Meredith faked being frightened. âEveline, what are you doingââ
Slap!
âWhat?!â
Madeline immediately slapped Meredithâs face while Meredith exclaimed as she was beaten until she was dazed.
âFelicity, this plastic face is truly something else. Itâs so thick that itâs enough to seduce my husband.
Listen here, it wonât be a simple slap the next time!â
ââ¦â
After Madeline gave a sharp warning, she looked at Jeremy fixedly. âI said that I didnât want to see you interacting with this woman again. Do you remember what you promised me at the time?â
âI remember.â Jeremy opened his mouth without thinking. âBut thereâs always a voice in my mind telling me that Felicity is my beloved woman, so when she called me this morning, I decided to come and look for her.â
What? Madeline frowned upon hearing this answer as a layer of disappointment gradually appeared in her eyes.
Meredith, on the other hand, instantly had a triumphant smile on her face when she heard this. She then ran to Jeremyâs side. âJeremy, youâre right. The person you love the most is me! Donât be fooled by Eveline!â
âShut up, Iâm not done talking yet.â Jeremy interrupted Meredith coldly. âAlthough thereâs a voice telling me that the person I love the most is you, my feelings tell me that sheâs the one I love.â Jeremy looked at Madeline firmly.
âWh-What?â Meredith could not accept such a reversal, but then she saw Jeremy walking over to Madeline and holding her hand. âI believe every word you said to me, so you have to believe me too. I only have feelings for you.â
Madeline did not expect Jeremyâs words. The disappointment in her eyes faded and was replaced with trust and joy.
She raised her beautiful eyes to Meredith whose expression was defeated and opened her mouth leisurely. âA fake will always be a fake. You should have understood this lesson a few years ago, Felicity Walker. I advise you to keep your tail in between your legs. Otherwise, I will have you know the consequences of being a vixen.â
ââ¦â
Madeline looked at Jeremy after delivering the meaningful warning. âHusband, letâs go home.â
Without looking at Meredith, Jeremy followed Madeline obediently.
He followed Madeline all the way into the elevator and only then did he open his mouth to ask, âAre you angry?â
Madeline looked at him. She was just about to speak when the phone rang.
The call came from Cathy and Madeline answered it without thinking. âCathy, are you looking for me?â
she asked, and Cathyâs weak reply came from the other end, âEvie, I did a very bad thing to you and Jeremy. Before I leave, I want to make up for my mistakes. Can you bring Jeremy to me now?â
