Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1148

Chapter 1148

“He’s going back on his word, isn’t he, Linnie?”

Madeline nodded but did not reply. In her mind echoed the words Ryan told Jeremy, “Not to mention that Eveline and I have already copulated as well.”

Her head throbbed, and she suddenly opened the door to walk over to the trash can by the road where she threw the cake away.

She turned around only to find Jeremy already standing in front of her.

The man did not say anything. Instead, he placed a hand on the back of Madeline’s hand to pull her into his arms. He tightly hugged her.

“No matter what he says, it won’t change what I feel for you.” He comforted her, understanding what Madeline was worried about. “Let me deal with it, okay? I’ll make him sign the papers.”

Madeline immediately looked up, her eyes filled with worry. “Don’t go overboard, Jeremy. I don’t want anything to happen to you anymore.”

Jeremy could understand why Madeline was worried. “I want to be with you for a very long time, silly. I won’t go overboard again, I promise.”

“But do you know how scary you looked just now?”

“Did I scare you?” Jeremy asked with a gentle smile.

Madeline nodded, her passionate eyes holding a serious look. “You didn’t even look that scary when you hated me back then.”

Jeremy felt his heart clench as he chuckled. “I scared my Linnie, huh? Well, that’s not good. I’m sorry. Shh, it’s okay. Let me comfort you, hmm?”

He leaned down to seal her lips with his, bringing her into a deep yet chaste kiss.

“Let’s go home, Linnie.”

“Yeah, home. Our home.”

Looking at Jeremy, Madeline felt her mood substantially lifting as she got into the car.

It was still early when Madeline had Jeremy drive them to Whitman Manor.

In her small hands was a piece of paper. The little girl’s round eyes were looking at him with careful hesitation and hope.

Seeing the fear in the child’s eyes, Jeremy felt his heart clench.

He was the cause behind Lily’s fear and distance.

However, he did not have another choice.

It was better to never have had at all than to have and lost.

Even so, Lillian was choosing to approach him again. She had made her way to stand in front of him.

Blinking her round and clear eyes, the little girl stood before Jeremy and slowly raised her adorable arms. She wanted to hand Jeremy a piece of paper.

Jeremy tried to ignore her, but his eyes fell onto the word that was written clearly on the paper.

He gulped as tears began to well in his eyes, blurring his sight.
