Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 186

Madeline could not help but halt her steps. She looked at Meredith who said these words as a layer of

doubt gradually appeared in her heart.

Why was Meredith and Jeremy’s past so similar to her own experience with Jeremy back then?

Moreover, was April Hill the place where they first met as well?

“Jeremy, I don’t need anything, but I really can’t lose you. Please don’t leave me, okay?”

Meredith’s soft voice pulled Madeline’s thoughts back.

She saw Meredith’s eyes that were filled with tears while she looked at Jeremy with an expectant gaze.

Although Jeremy had not responded, he took out a handkerchief to bandage Meredith’s wound. He still

cared for Meredith so much.

“Jeremy…”

“Stop talking. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Meredith looked at Jeremy affectionately “Jeremy, with you accompanying me, I won’t be in as much

pain. I know that you’ll protect me forever.”

Madeline could hear these words from where she was standing.

While watching Jeremy help Meredith up, Meredith had then turned her head to cast a triumphant and

provoking look at her as she was getting into the car. It was as if she was saying, ‘Vera Quinn, you’re

not qualified to steal my man!’

Madeline looked at this scene indifferently and smiled softly.

‘Jeremy, it’s such a shame that a smart person like you with extremely high emotional and intelligence

quotients who’s also able to expertly maneuver through the business world is still incapable of clearly

seeing Meredith’s true character even after so many years.

‘Or perhaps, that’s what you like about this scheming b*tch.’

Madeline returned to the store, and not long after picking up the paintbrush, the phone rang.

She glanced sideways and saw that it was actually Jeremy who was calling.

However, she did not answer. Jeremy then called a second time.

Madeline picked up the phone and looked at the name on the screen with indifferent eyes as if she had

seen herself from before.

How many times had she called Jeremy back then only to never receive a response? Her outgoing Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

calls were either ended or blocked.

She knew that he had hated her so much, but still, she hoped that she could change her mind again

and again.

Thinking about it now, Madeline felt that she was both ridiculous and sad.

How could she have so desperately fallen in love with such a cold and ruthless man?

Madeline did not answer the first two calls. Seeing that Jeremy was making a third call, Madeline then

simply silenced the phone and threw it aside.

The rhythm of her heartbeat would never be moved for this man again.

Madeline was busy in the office the entire day. Finally, she was getting ready to bring Lily back to the

apartment, but the moment she left, she saw a familiar car parked in front of the shop.

Jeremy got out of the car, and the afterglow of the setting sun was quietly scattered along his jade-like

body. His natural and powerful aura shrouded him with every step he took. His charm was always

bright and radiant.

Madeline looked at him and raised her knitted eyebrows. She was about to speak, but Jeremy beat her

to it.

“Do me a favor of having a meal with me. After all, I saved your daughter today,” he said. He walked up

to Lily with a rare smile on his handsome face. “Cutiepie, are you willing to have a meal together with

Big Brother?”

Lily thought for a few seconds, then stretched out her pale and tender little arm to hug Madeline’s thigh.

She raised her vivid eyes to look at Madeline.

“Mommy, are we having dinner with Big Brother?”

Madeline smiled and stooped down low to hug Lily. “Lily, we won’t be eating with Big Brother. Mommy

will be taking you home.”

Of course, she could not give Jeremy and Lily the opportunity to make contact.

If Jeremy still suspected that she was Madeline, then Lily would become his breakthrough point. She

would never let Jeremy discover the secret about Lily.
