Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 84

When he saw Felipe standing with Madeline, a cold chill immediately appeared in Jeremy’s eyes.

He lifted his head to look over and Madeline could feel her heart skip a beat.

Even though he was not the man she cared about, her body was still hinting to her that she still could

not get away from his shadow.

“Jeremy?” Felipe walked out of the elevator in surprise. “Are you here to pick Maddie up?”

“It’s none of your business.” Jeremy’s tone was cold. His eyes landed on Meredith’s face. “Why did you

hang up on me?”

“So you’re the one who called Maddie just now?” Felipe said with a laugh. “Maddie joked that it was a

scam caller and hung up. Did you two fight?”

After he said that, Madeline saw Jeremy’s face darkened.

He stared at her. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”

Jeremy said and grabbed Madeline’s hand.

It was already winter so it was very cold. However, Madeline could feel that Jeremy’s hand was

burning.

She fantasized about him holding her hand to cross the road considerately so many times before.

However, this searing heat was not what she longed for.

“I’ll just go with uncle.” Madeline got out of Jeremy’s grip and walked toward Felipe.

Jeremy felt his hand slipping from hers and then he was stunned.

“Uncle, please, let’s go.”

Felipe frowned slightly. Two seconds later, he nodded and looked at Jeremy. “So, we’ll get going now,

Jeremy. Maddie, let’s go.”

“Okay,” Madeline replied and turned around following Felipe.

She was scared that she would hesitate if she delayed this. She was scared that she would follow the

other man absent-mindedly.

“Madeline, are you sure you’re not coming with me?”

Before she could leave, she heard Jeremy’s questioning voice.

Madeline grabbed her bag tighter with both hands. Her nails dug into her palm.

She stopped and turned around. He saw Jeremy standing there alone. His tall and slender body looked

lonesome for some reason.

However, the unhealed wounds on her body started hurting dully. She felt as if a million bugs were

gnawing on her skin.

It was this pain that made her reply, “I’m sure.”

Madeline said without hesitation. After she said that, she quickly caught up to Felipe.

…

The moment Madeline and Felipe arrived at Whitman Manor, Jeremy arrived as well.

The moment his car stopped, he walked quickly to Madeline and wrapped his long arms around

Madeline’s tiny and thin body. He was holding her so tightly and she could not get out of his hold.

Madeline’s heart started beating frantically. “Jeremy, what are you doing?”

“What do you think I’m doing?” Jeremy questioned. His deep eyes were staring straight at Madeline.

“Grandpa longed to see us being all lovey-dovey. Don’t you want to make him happy?’

“…” Madeline had no words. In order to make grandpa happy, she was more than willing to improve her NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

relationship with Jeremy. However… “You don’t have to hold me so tightly.”

When Felipe saw this, he said, “Jeremy, even though you’re in a fight with Maddie, you don’t have to do

this. Didn’t you notice that Maddie was very uncomfortable?”

Jeremy chuckled lowly. “How do you know whether my wife is uncomfortable or not? You two have

such an extraordinary relationship.”

There was double entendre to his words. He lowered his head and saw that Madeline was feeling

reluctant to be held by him. He felt anger rising in his chest. “This is between us. Don’t try to meddle in

our business.”

Jeremy said that and went in while holding Madeline.

Madeline looked at Felipe awkwardly. She could only let Jeremy have his way with her.

It was a family dinner but Meredith was also in the dining room while making no secret to her presence.

On the other hand, the old master was in his room and did not come downstairs as he did not feel well.
