Chapter 1077
Karen suddenly heard Jeremy’s voice. The moment she turned to look at him, he was already like a gusty wind that passed by her at lightning speed. He arrived next to Lillian.
Lillian had tripped and was about to land on the big marble floor. However, Lillian fell into the arms of Jeremy instead.
The little girl was dumbfounded. While still in a daze, she spun around and looked at the man who had caught hold of her.
Jeremy’s eyes were glistening with warmth. He was heartbroken. “Are you alright, Lillian?”
He asked, feeling concerned while touching the little girl’s head.
He was in excruciating pain thinking back to the moment when he ignored his child who had fallen before him.
Lillian looked at Jeremy, but no words came out from her. There was no change in her expression and she just blinked her eyes.
Jeremy knew this was because of the incident that occurred previously, which made Lillian have a bad impression of him.
In the eyes of the little girl, the handsome mister before her was no longer handsome. The impression of him deep in her innocent soul had changed as well.
Feeling heartbroken, Jeremy looked at the doll-like face that looked like Madeline’s and was ready to let go of her.
Just when he was about to release his grip and place the child down, Lillian suddenly opened up her arms and hugged him around his neck tightly.
Jeremy was stunned and surprised. Feeling the warmth of the little kid gluing herself to him made his eyes wet with tears.
“Lillian.”
He raised his hand that was trembling slightly to touch the cute little girl’s head, having the urge to hug his little princess dearly. He wanted to spoil her with love and protect her till she was a grown-up.
However, he had not much time left.
Jeremy wanted to indulge in the warmth of the little kid for a little while longer, but Lillian tapped on his shoulder.
He agreed, and the smile on Jackson’s face grew wider.
However, Karen, who was watching the entire scene from the side, was not as enthusiastic as she used to be. She looked at Jeremy and said coldly, “You still remember to come back and have a look at your kids, huh? Yesterday, for the sake of that evil woman who destroyed your family, you even pushed Eveline in front of your kids. Have you forgotten that the woman who you pushed is the woman you cried and pleaded with to return to your side?”
This was the first time Jeremy heard Karen lecturing him.
However, this was good as it at least proved that Eveline, as a daughter-in-law, occupied some space within Karen’s heart.
Karen was infuriated when she saw Jeremy chuckling away after being lectured by her.
“Jeremy, what’s going with you? With the way you treat Eveline, don’t tell me you really don’t care about her anymore? Your grandpa said that at the very beginning, you acted all unbothered about Eveline but had begged him to arrange a marriage ceremony between you and Eveline. You love her so much, yet why do you still want to be with Lana? And you even got her pregnant with your kid?”
Facing Karen’s pestering, Jeremy remained silent.
He just stood there, staring at the infant who was moving his limbs. He then got up and said, “Can I carry him?”
