Madeline complained and questioned as Jeremy recalled what happened that day.He remembered everything clearly. That day, it had been very windy and snowy. Madeline was shaking violently as she held the urn in her arms, her teeth stained with blood. She had looked as wretched as a defeated puppet. However, her eyes were protesting what he was doing in determination.She had said, “Jeremy, kill me. I don’t want to see you again.”She also said, “Jeremy, you’ll regret this!”However, back then, he had replied arrogantly, “The word ‘regret’ doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”Madeline mocked when she saw Jeremy deep in thought.“What’s wrong? Are you remembering everything that you’ve done? Do you remember how you were so sure that our child was a b*stard child who you couldn’t wait to crush her bones into dust?”Jeremy came back to his senses after Madeline said those words sarcastically.He recalled his cold-blooded behavior. He felt as if his evil doings were going to devour him.

Jeremy never loved her. Not even a little bit.When she was exposed for pretending to be the little girl back then, she was nothing to Jeremy. She was not even a stranger anymore despite them having a son together.“You look like you know something’s about to happen,” Jeremy said coldly. His tall body approached her as his overbearing aura terrified her.Meredith shook her head innocently. “Jeremy, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”She forced tears to well in her eyes so that she would look extremely aggrieved.“Jeremy, for the sake of our relationship and for the sake of Jack, can you get me out of here? I was really falsely accused—”“Heh.”Before Meredith could finish, she was interrupted by Jeremy’s scoff.“Do you know why you’re still alive?” he asked all of a sudden.Meredith looked dumbly at the man who was getting more and more terrifying as each second passed.“Because I’ve been waiting for Maddie’s answer.”“...” Meredith widened her eyes in shock as her hea

The killing intent behind Jeremy’s gaze disappeared.He gripped Meredith’s collar and dragged her in front of him. “Repeat what you said again.”Meredith inhaled Jeremy’s scent hungrily as she started crying pitifully.Despite the man looking at her frigidly, his eyes and handsome face were still the things she longed for even though he was in an angry state right now.“Jeremy, even though I’ve done a lot of bad things, my feelings for you are genuine. I really love—”“If you don’t want to suffer, answer my question. Is my child with Maddie really alive?” Jeremy interrupted impatiently. His malicious eyes caused Meredith’s body to go cold.She trembled as she looked into Jeremy’s eyes. She nodded. “He’s not dead yet. H-He’s still alive…”The frost in Jeremy’s eyes melted. “Where is he? Where’s the child?”Meredith bit her dry lip. “Jeremy, I want to get out of here.”“Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me? You’d better tell me before I find out for myself. If no

It had been five years and this was the first time Jeremy felt that Jackson’s voice sounded so nice when he was calling him daddy.He walked over to Jackson and squatted. He looked at this small face with a gentle gaze. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but at this moment, he felt that this child in front of him looked more and more like Madeline.“Jack,” he suppressed the emotions in his heart and called out his name gently.Jackson nodded. “Daddy, when can I go home? I miss Mommy. Not my mommy but Vera.”Jackson emphasized.Jeremy felt a tightness in his heart. “Jack, Vera is your mommy. You only have one mommy. Remember that.”“I remember.” Jackson nodded. He waved the item in his hand. “I’m going to finish this bunny soon. After I’m done, I’ll give it to Mommy to protect her.”The little guy started introducing his gadget.Jeremy finally understood that it was a mini self-defense device.He was surprised that the five-year-old kid would have such a talent. However, wh

Smash!The teacup in Eloise’s hand slipped and smashed on the floor.Her limp hands were frozen in midair and could not move.“W-What did you say… Vera is Maddie…” Eloise muttered as tears quickly filled her eyes and blurred her vision. The only thing she could see right now was Madeline’s stunning face.Eloise did not suspect anything. It was natural that she would wish her daughter was still alive and well in this world. Plus, during this period of time, she had started to grow fond of Vera.She knew she should be happy, but for some reason, her heart was in such debilitating pain.Sean came out when he heard the noise. When he saw Eloise standing there looking dull and sluggish as she sobbed, he walked over feeling worried and curious.“Ellie, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Sean was concerned. He looked at Jeremy in confusion. “Mr. Whitman, when did you get here? Why is Ellie so sad? Are you going to take Jack home?”Jeremy caressed Jackson’s hair. “I’m not taking him ba

“She left? Where did she go? Do you know?” Eloise asked frantically.The receptionist guessed and said, “I think she might be going home at this time.”“Home…” Eloise rolled the word in her mouth as she was stuck in a daze.Home…Montgomery Manor should be her house. However, Eloise and Sean did not dare to hope if she wanted to go back with them.Perhaps, she would be unwilling to do so.Eloise remembered what Madeline said when she came to Montgomery Manor for Jackson two days ago.She said that would be the last time she went over.Back then, Eloise did not understand, but now, she understood what she meant.When she thought about it, Eloise started bawling. She felt extremely remorseful.Sean held her. “Ellie, don’t cry. Don’t worry. We’ll surely be able to see Eveline again.”“She won’t want to see us. She must’ve hated us…” Eloise’s eyes were red from crying as she recalled the day at the hospital. She recalled how she had blamed herself so much till she wanted to end

Daniel turned around and looked over as well. In the next second, he furrowed his brows together as his expression became grimmer.Madeline did not know who was behind her, but from Ava and Daniel’s reactions, she could guess who it was.At this moment, she heard a lot of people whispering among themselves. A few girls were even blushing when they saw Jeremy.“That man is so handsome!”“He looks like the president of Whitman Corporation!”“I saw him online before! He’s Jeremy Whitman!”Madeline placed her chopsticks down without batting an eyelid. She did not even turn around. “Ava, Dan, let’s just ignore those irrelevant people. Let’s change to another restaurant.”Ava scowled at Jeremy who was walking over while clenching her fists. “Alright, I’ll listen to you, Maddie! Dan, let’s go!”“Okay.” Daniel got up as well. Then, he peered at Jeremy in dissatisfaction with anger in his eyes.Madeline grabbed her bag. When she turned around, she saw that Jeremy was already standing i

Jeremy stood in the cold wind while looking longingly at Madeline’s back. His tall and slender body casted a lonely shadow under the streetlight.He curled the corners of his lips as a trace of bitterness started to spread from his heart.His eyes started to feel wet, causing the beautiful figure in front of him to become blurry.How could he blame her for being heartless and cold now? He only had himself to blame.…After eating with Ava and Daniel, Madeline went back to her previous apartment alone.She sat in front of the french window as Jeremy’s words lingered in her ear involuntarily.‘The person I love is you.’“Heh.”Madeline chuckled coldly.‘No one would be willing to hurt the person they love to this degree.‘Jeremy, don’t tell me that you love me. Don’t tell me that you didn’t mean all those harsh words you said after my heart died from all the torture you gave me.’Buzz, buzz.Her phone on the nightstand started vibrating.Madeline gathered her thoughts and p

Even though the car window was closed, Madeline could clearly hear that Eloise’s voice was shaking.Eloise was obviously trying to suppress some kind of emotions, and Madeline already knew what emotion that was.Knock, knock, knock.Eloise knocked on the window again lightly.She did not dare to use too much force. She was scared that Madeline would be upset, but at the same time, she was scared that Madeline would ignore her.“Miss Vera, Vera…”Eloise called out to her. Suddenly, with a click, Madeline unbuckled her seatbelt.When they saw that Madeline was finally getting out of the car, Eloise and Sean’s faces lit up with joy.Madeline opened the door and finally got out.Looking at their wet and longing eyes, Madeline looked at them calmly. “Is Jack in his room?” she asked flatly.Eloise and Sean looked at her intensely and nodded. “He’s in his room!”“Got it,” Madeline said and turned around without saying another word more.When they saw Madeline walking in through th

Eloise and Sean saw this scene when they were outside the room and their hearts were in excruciating pain.They did not dare to go disturb them. At the same time, they did not dare to tell Madeline that Jackson was actually her biological son without careful consideration.Eloise covered her mouth when she saw this. She swallowed her sobs and ran away quickly.“Ellie!”Sean called out to Eloise in a low voice. Then, he looked at Madeline longingly before chasing after his wife.Eloise went back to her room and collapsed on her bed. She covered her face as she started bawling.Even though Sean was also in debilitating sadness, as a husband and a man, he had to be stronger and more composed than Eloise at this moment.“Ellie, stop crying. Don’t be like this.” Sean patted Eloise’s shoulder and comforted her. “No matter what, our daughter is still alive and she’s living her best life. We should be happy and proud of her.”Eloise cried even harder after she heard that.Of course, s
