The man’s voice slipped into her ears, sounding husky and cool as usual.However, Madeline’s heart sank.Mrs. Whitman.He called her that.What did his ‘Mrs. Whitman’ mean though?Madeline calmly looked at the exquisite and stunning face, quietly heaving a sigh of relief.Judging by his outfit, he had also come to participate in the bidding tonight. Since he could appear here so dashingly, it seemed that his body was fine.“Mrs. Whitman, are you alright?” Jeremy asked with a faint smile.Madeline shook her head. “I’m fine.”“If you’re alright, then I’ll let go of you.” As soon as his voice fell, he quickly retracted his arms from her waist as though he felt no nostalgia at all.Madeline then saw Jeremy turning around and leaving. Her heart suddenly froze.She knew that Jeremy probably believed in her lack of feelings and indifference toward him three months ago.Madeline impulsively wanted to tell Jeremy the truth. She stepped forward toward him. “Jeremy—”“Eveline.”Feli

This word cut across Madeline’s heart like an invisible sharp blade.She watched Jeremy turn around unhesitantly, not even sparing a glance from the corner of his eyes.‘Jeremy, you really believed my cold, hard lie back then.’“It seems that he’s not as affectionate to you as I imagined he would be,” Felipe said with a soft smile, “There’s an important customer who wants to talk to me. You can eat something here first. I’ll come look for you later.”Felipe turned around and left, leaving Madeline to stand there in a daze.She walked to the long table, picked up a glass of red wine, and drank again.However, she could no longer taste the sweet and delicate fragrance of the red wine—only the bitter taste reached her heart.“Isn’t this Eveline Montgomery?”“Whose woman do you think she is? Didn’t she just marry Jeremy a few months ago? Why is she with Jeremy’s uncle, Felipe, now?”“Wealthy families are messy. I also heard that Jeremy and Felipe broke their relationship as uncle

It was Jeremy.She would not have mistaken the sound of his footsteps.Madeline hurriedly tidied up her state. She gently stroked her belly and pretended to stand beside the railing to get some air.She heard Jeremy approaching her step by step. Her heartbeat, accompanied by his pace, became more and more disordered.“It seems that you’re really living a better life after leaving a scumbag like me, Mrs. Whitman.”His sarcastic words came from behind, making Madeline distressed.Jeremy walked to her back. The moonlight was shining on her cold, fair skin. Her gown was swaying in the evening breeze while her beautiful back figure was reflected in his eyes.Madeline held up her elegant mask before turning around to meet his deep eyes with a chuckle.“I could say the same to you, Mr. Whitman. You also seem to be having a good life. You’ve found a new love so soon.”“It can’t be helped. After being driven away by Mrs. Whitman in F Country that day, I was really saddened. When I came

Not long after entering the bidding venue and sitting down, Madeline saw Jeremy coming in with Yvette.Madeline still thought that the woman looked familiar, but perhaps it was only because she had a typical influencer look that made her seem so.She did not want Jeremy and Yvette to sit behind them. Jeremy was one seat away from the back of Madeline. When she looked to the side, she would be able to catch a glimpse of his delicate and handsome face.Felipe also noticed Jeremy sitting behind them, so he deliberately reached out to hold Madeline's hand as he approached her cheek more intimately and whispered into her ear."Ms. Montgomery and her husband have a very good relationship," Yvette said with admiration when she sat next to Jeremy. "Jeremy, should we switch seats? Since you used to like Ms. Montgomery a lot, will it be uncomfortable for you to have her in your line of sight?”"Of course not. My uncle and my aunt have such a good relationship, so I’m also happy for them. Wh

Madeline was uncomfortable when she felt Jeremy approach her. When he was near, he said, "I heard that Uncle Felipe originally wanted to use this piece of land to build a resort for Mrs. Whitman? Really sorry about that. I want to use this piece of land to build a castle for my most beloved woman too."He looked at Madeline on purpose even though she was not looking at him."I hope that one day, my beloved woman can live in that castle and be a carefree princess. I’m willing to unconditionally protect her, guard her, and be her knight for life."After he said that, Yvette approached Jeremy and said sweetly, "Jeremy, you’re so kind to me."Madeline turned her face away as she was torn with grief. She smiled at Felipe as she held back her heartache. "I'm hungry, Felipe. Can we get something to eat?”"Okay." Felipe smiled and stood up, looking at Jeremy with a calm expression. "It seems that I’ve underestimated my nephew's ability. When Whitman Corporation had the handover, it seems

"Grandpa, tell me what I should do.”She furrowed her eyebrows with annoyance when her phone suddenly vibrated.A stranger had sent her a friend request via her phone number.Madeline took a look at the profile. The information showed that it was a girl and she had remarked: [I’m heartbroken and simply entered a number. I just want to talk to a stranger.]Madeline felt very tired and was not in the mood to comfort the brokenhearted person. Soon after, she fell asleep.Early the next morning, Madeline's stomach began to turn as soon as she got up. She ran into the bathroom and tried to vomit, but nothing came out.When she recalled being pregnant with Jackson, she had the same symptoms.When she was pregnant with Lilian, she was completely emotionless and there were not many uncomfortable symptoms.She touched her belly and remembered the night with Jeremy three months ago.At that time, he had said softly in her ear, “Linnie, let’s have another baby.”That was why they did no

His sudden voice startled Madeline and made her heart skip a beat. Her hand shook as the ball of paper that was supposed to be thrown into the trash can fell to the ground.She hurriedly reached for it, but Jeremy got to it faster.He stooped closer, and his delicate profile lightly brushed across her cheek.Their breaths intertwined for a moment.Jeremy picked up the ball of paper and was about to throw it away when he saw how weird Madeline was acting. When Madeline saw that Jeremy was about to open the ball of paper, she quickly reached out to grab it but was a second too slow.When Jeremy saw the contents of the examination report, his eyes darkened sharply. His delicate and handsome face instantly turned cold. Madeline noticed the change in Jeremy's facial expression, so she reached out again, grabbed the examination report, and stuffed it into the trash can.She was upset. She did not know if Jeremy understood the contents of the report. When she contemplated whether

She frowned and hurried away.After getting into the car, Madeline felt her abdomen and thought about the look in Jeremy's eyes.‘Was it anger, jealousy, or heartache?’Madeline could not tell.What Madeline did not want Felipe to know, he soon learned from his men.He seemed very happy. "Eveline, are you really pregnant with my baby?"Madeline did not deny it. If she denied it, she was afraid that Felipe would use any method he could to get rid of the child.She did not want to talk to Felipe about the child, so she changed the subject. "Tomorrow’s my grandfather's death anniversary. I'm going to the cemetery to pay him a visit.”Felipe immediately agreed to it. "Since the bidding for that piece of land has failed, I have something to deal with. I’ll get someone to send you there tomorrow." He smiled softly. "Eveline, this is our first child. Don't worry, even after we have this child, I’ll still treat Lilian as my own daughter.""If you really treat Lilian as your daughter,

Madeline watched the man walking toward her and her heart started racing.She was pregnant and was worried that Jeremy would behave irrationally, so she took a step back out of vigilance.When Jeremy saw Madeline's evasive behavior, he curled the corner of his lips and said sarcastically, "Mrs. Whitman, are you worried that I’ll do something to you? Are you afraid that I’ll hurt Felipe's child?""..."She was indeed worried that the child inside of her would get hurt, even though the child was Jeremy’s.Madeline swallowed the secret down and said indifferently, "You’re right. The child inside of me is very important to me. So, Mr. Whitman, please act appropriately.”As soon as she said that, Madeline saw Jeremy's eyes sink as they instantly looked colder."Since you’re so worried, take this umbrella so that you won't catch a cold."As he said that, he handed the umbrella in his palm to Madeline and took something out of his pocket.Madeline looked intently at it. Amidst the dr

The numbing pain her heart spread throughout her body again, and Madeline looked up to force her tears back.She could not cry again.She had to be strong for the child....After Madeline visited Len’s grave, she was sent to Felipe's villa.Felipe was in a video conference in the study when he learned that Madeline was back. When he found out, he ended the conference early.When he saw that Madeline's jacket was a little damp from the rain, he was a little concerned. "Didn’t you use the umbrella? Why have you gotten yourself all wet?”"It was just a tiny drizzle. It won't hurt me." She was cold and walked past Felipe as she went upstairs.Felipe had gotten used to Madeline's attitude. "You’re pregnant now. Getting wet in the rain will make you sick.”‘Getting wet in the rain.’Madeline looked down at the umbrella in her hand.Jeremy had given the umbrella to her in the cemetery not long ago, but his residual warmth on the umbrella handle had long dissipated."I assume you
