“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
Chapter 458
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

When Madeline heard voices, she turned around slowly. Eloise and Sean were looking at her with smiles on their faces.Despite their smiles, they still could not hide the emotions and uneasiness in their eyes.It had already come to this, so Madeline did not want to beat around the bush anymore.“I’m guessing that you already know about it, right?” Madeline asked calmly.Sean and Eloise were stumped for words. They looked at Madeline in shock after she asked that question.After a few moments of silence, Eloise said cautiously, “Miss Vera—”“Miss Vera,” Madeline repeated this name, interrupting Eloise with a smile. “Shouldn’t you be calling me Eveline Montgomery now?”“...”“...”Eloise and Sean’s breaths hitched when they heard that.They stared blankly at the cute smiling face in front of them. At that moment, tears started pouring out from their eyes.“Eveline!”Eloise was crying heavily as she ran over to Madeline emotionally. Her remorseful and apologetic eyes were fill
Chapter 462
When Eloise and Sean heard how Madeline addressed them, they looked at her worriedly and were at a loss. Eloise called out with a broken heart, “Eveline…”Madeline smiled lightly, lifting her beautiful eyes to look around. She walked to the European-styled sofa and ran her fingers across the surface.“That time, you guys invited me for dinner for Meredith’s sake and were willing to be courteous just to entertain an enemy like me. You guys must feel extremely uncomfortable now that the tables have turned, right?”Eloise and Sean felt even more distressed when they heard that.Madeline smiled calmly, saying, “Mrs. Montgomery, you asked me whether I found my parents after so many years.”As she looked into Eloise’s apologetic gaze, she continued, “Mrs. Montgomery, do you remember what my answer was?”“Eveline…”“I said I found them, but we can’t reunite because even though I was standing right in front of them, they wouldn’t want to acknowledge me.”Eloise’s eyes were bright red
Chapter 463
After Madeline said that, Eloise was already crying hysterically. On the other hand, Sean could not control his tears anymore.They remembered when they went to see Madeline in the conjugal room the time Brittany was murdered.Madeline’s face had appeared white and haggardly. That image kept on appearing in their heads, as well as their brutal and cruel treatment toward her.They had cursed and slapped Madeline all to defend Meredith. Sean even slapped Madeline who was already weak so hard that she collapsed to the floor. Their hearts were hurting now as they thought back to it.They could not endure the pain in their hearts that was caused by remorse.Eloise and Sean could not imagine how strong Madeline had to be to not cry in that situation.At this moment, Madeline was as tough and strong as she used to be. She smiled lightly when she recalled her miserable past.“It’s all in the past. I don’t want to look into anything anymore.”She smiled lightly as a disappointed glint
