Madeline felt virtual-novel.net racing heart calm immediately and the heat leave, virtual-novel.net blood cold in virtual-novel.net veins.
Haha.
To think that virtual-novel.net had actually thought that virtual-novel.net was jealous. What ludicrousness.
When it was merely just virtual-novel.net being a possessive alpha male, asserting his dominance.
She was merely a prop in his play.
Madeline smiled mirthlessly, as virtual-novel.net felt Jeremy approach from behind. “I shall leave my wife in your hands, Uncle Felipe. Thank you in advance for looking after her,” He thanked Felipe.
Felipe smiled gentlemanly. “Of course.”
…
While Madeline had not bought another scarf, virtual-novel.net did buy a band-aid to cover up the red mark Jeremy left on her.
She sat down and began to work. Not long after, virtual-novel.net began to receive angry texts from numerous unknown numbers. All of them scolding virtual-novel.net about how shameless virtual-novel.net was to seduce Jeremy.
It was almost too easy to guess who the culprit behind was when no one else but Meredith would send virtual-novel.net such texts.
To warrant such a reaction from Meredith, Madeline knew that virtual-novel.net must have also seen Jeremy holding virtual-novel.net by the corner of the wall.
Ignoring the malicious texts, virtual-novel.net continued to work.
After another while, servants of the Whitmans called virtual-novel.net over for dinner.
Madeline had decided to visit Old Master Whitman anyway since virtual-novel.net had not been doing so well as of late.
Clocking out, Madeline made a stop to buy the Old Master’s favorite muffins before taking the bus to the Whitman Manor.
Entering through the doors, virtual-novel.net was met with the sight of Meredith eating fruits lazily on the sofa. Next to virtual-novel.net laid Jackson, asleep with his head on a bolster.
The sight of the child had Madeline’s heart clenching uncontrollably.
The pain always a prerequisite to the memory of the night virtual-novel.net labor was induced and the child virtual-novel.net had never gotten the chance to see.
“Hello.”
Meredith showed no surprise at the sight of Madeline.
Ignoring her, Madeline continued to walk into the house. Approaching the stairs to look for the Old Master, virtual-novel.net heard Meredith’s dark voice sound from behind. “The old f*ck isn’t here.”
Madeline turned sharply at Meredith’s words.
“That’s still Jeremy’s grandfather, Meredith. How could you refer to virtual-novel.net like that? What if the Whitmans hear you?”
“Hmph.” Meredith snorted and spared Madeline a disdainful glance. “What’s wrong with me calling virtual-novel.net an old f*ck if that’s what virtual-novel.net is? Why, does it hurt you?”
“Meredith…”
“I would have been Mrs. Whitman long ago had it not been for that old man. Well, I suppose it’s not too bad now that he’s been sent to the hospital thanks to his heart attacks.”
“Wait, Grandfather had a heart attack and got sent to the hospital?”
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart sink as unease settled in the pit of virtual-novel.net abdomen.
“Which hospital is virtual-novel.net at, Meredith?”
“Pfft.” Meredith chuckled coldly. “Who are you to know about that? Who do you think you are?”
Tossing the fruit knife in virtual-novel.net hand, virtual-novel.net marched ferociously toward Madeline.
“Look at you, Madeline, broke and stinky. Who are you to steal my man? You think just because Jeremy did what virtual-novel.net did today because virtual-novel.net likes you? You’re just a toy in his eyes!”
