Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1057

Chapter 1057

Jeremy was surprised. He did not know when Madeline came up from behind him.

Madeline was also taken aback because Jeremy’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

The two looked at each other and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Jeremy struggled to suppress the intense smell of blood and the dry itch in his throat. He turned his face away to avoid Madeline’s sight, coughing lightly.

Jeremy’s heart was very flustered at this moment. He was afraid that Madeline would discover that something was wrong with him and she would see through everything.

“Maddie, why are you standing there? It’s time for a photo.” Ava’s reminder came from a distance.

Madeline looked at the man who was facing her from the side and handed over the ID card.

“I’m giving it back to you,” she said coldly as she stretched out her hand to him.

Jeremy clenched his fists, knowing he could not reach out to Madeline.

The palms of his two hands were stained with blood.

Seeing Jeremy being indifferent, Madeline frowned. “If seeing me makes you bored, why come here to obstruct your view?”

“Maddie.” Ava’s voice came again.

Madeline saw that Jeremy was completely ignoring her—even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were cold. She raised her hand all of a sudden and threw the ID card at him.

“Since you’re so disgusted, you can pick it up yourself.”

As her voice fell, Madeline lifted her skirt and walked away without any hesitation.

Jeremy’s fingers that were covering his lips gradually tightened as he crouched down. With his long, blood-stained fingers that were gently trembling, he picked up the ID card that Madeline had thrown at his feet.

Madeline changed into a simple dress, and together with Ryan, they gave a toast to a few relatives and friends.

Ava was not behaving aloof at all and had already drunk several glasses in succession as she held onto a wine bottle.

Daniel was sitting next to Ava and had advised her not to drink so much, but Ava instead courteously filled Daniel’s glass with wine while drunkenly patting him on the shoulder. “Dan, today is a good day for Maddie. Drink more and be happy for her.”

Daniel recalled how Ava had behaved the last time she got drunk. He could not help but think of the accidental kiss between him and Ava back then.

As matters stood, only he knew about that time while Ava knew nothing.

“Dan, what are you thinking about?” Ava scrunched her drunken eyes and asked Daniel, “Come, have a drink.”

Seeing her face up-close, Daniel felt hot and somewhat hurriedly took the wine glass before drinking the contents in one gulp.

However, Daniel rarely drank alcohol, so after downing a full glass, he felt his entire body going warm. His head was a little dizzy now too.
