Chapter 1369
“I don’t think you’re seeing things.” Jeremy gave an affirmative answer. His gaze once again fell on the back of the man not far away.
This figure used to be so familiar to him, so he would not see it wrongly.
However…
Jeremy took Madeline’s hand and walked in. Old Master Whitman suddenly got up from the other side of the sofa. He looked at Jeremy and said with surprise, “Jeremy, look who’s back!”
After the old master said that, the man who was sitting with his back to them slowly stood up, tall and straight.
Then, he turned around. His once gentlemanly and elegant face looked more mature and calmer now.
He and Madeline looked at each other. Then, he smiled slightly before turning his gaze to Jeremy’s body.
Seeing Jeremy’s short, flax-colored hair and his pupils that were close to the color of amber, the man seemed surprised.
“I knew you wouldn’t die a long time ago. It’s just that I haven’t seen you for so long and you even changed your image.” Felipe’s tone was very calm and there was mischief between his words.
“It has been so long, so a lot of things have happened and there were a lot of changes around here, including you.” Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s shoulder intimately and walked in front of Felipe. Then, he showed a friendly smile. “Welcome home.”
Then, Felipe gave a warm smile. “Thanks.”
After he said that, his eyes landed on Madeline’s face.
Even though he knew Felipe did not feel that way about Madeline anymore, Jeremy still could not help but say in jealousy, “Do you not know my wife anymore, uncle?”
Felipe could sense Jeremy’s jealousy from his words. He smiled lightly, his eyes still on Madeline’s flawless and stunning face.
“An old man like me can finally have one less thing to worry about.” A joyous smile appeared on Old Master Whitman’s aged face. He walked over to hold Felipe’s hand. “Felipe, this family is only complete with you in it. Don’t leave now that you’re back.”
Old Master Whitman’s eyes were filled with expectations and his grip on Felipe’s hand tightened.
Felipe could feel that the old master was truly sincere in wanting to keep him around and he was genuinely concerned about him. However, he only smiled for lack of a better reaction.
“Uncle, I’m afraid I’m going to have to disappoint you.”
Old Master Whitman’s eyes became duller. “Felipe, you’re still going to leave? Why don’t you want to stay?”
“I came back this time to take care of something very important. After I finish this, I have to go somewhere that I should go.”
Felipe said before looking at Jeremy. There was a flash of victory in his eyes.
