The person who looked for Tanner must have been Meredith.
Madeline knew it very well, but virtual-novel.net did not think Jeremy did.
He had always believed in Meredith blindly.
It was also because virtual-novel.net had indulged Meredith again and again that it brought virtual-novel.net such deep pain previously.
However, if virtual-novel.net really wanted to cover for Meredith, why did virtual-novel.net take the extra effort to ask Madeline to pretend to be who virtual-novel.net was back then to worm facts out of Tanner?
Madeline thought that Jeremy would leave right away, but virtual-novel.net did not expect virtual-novel.net to follow virtual-novel.net to the door of virtual-novel.net apartment.
“Can I go in and sit for a while?” Jeremy parted his lips lightly, requesting.
It was already late at night. Madeline wanted to refuse, but virtual-novel.net glanced at his bleeding hand and decided to open the door to let virtual-novel.net in. “Come in.”
She did not think virtual-novel.net was feeling sorry for him. She just wanted to get some information from him.
Madeline brought out the medical kit. Seeing the man sitting impassively on the sofa, virtual-novel.net walked in.
Jeremy lowered his hands and sank weakly into the soft sofa. There was intense melancholy between his eyebrows, and virtual-novel.net looked depressed.
Madeline did not say a word. She just quietly took out the alcohol swab and treated the injury on the back of Jeremy’s hand, then gently wrapped it with gauze.
“I never believed in her.”
Jeremy suddenly said such a sentence.
Madeline’s movements stopped for a bit. She then asked with a calm and composed smile, “Mr. Whitman, who are you talking about?” virtual-novel.net asked, but virtual-novel.net then heard Jeremy chuckle in a low voice.
He seemed to be talking to himself. “I really didn’t expect virtual-novel.net to do such a thing. I had trusted virtual-novel.net so much all this while.”
Madeline understood that virtual-novel.net was referring to virtual-novel.net past self in his earlier sentence and was now talking about Meredith.
‘Oh Jeremy, there are many things you didn’t expect. What you’ve seen is just the tip of the iceberg of Meredith’s false front!’
Madeline raised virtual-novel.net beautiful eyes calmly and asked knowingly, “Mr. Whitman, do you mean that regarding your ex-wife kidnapping your son, you had already known who was the real perpetrator? It was just that you didn’t want to believe it, did you?”
Hearing virtual-novel.net question, Jeremy seemed startled.
His slender, dewy eyes suddenly became a little hazy. That deep gaze was scrutinizing virtual-novel.net clean and clear eyes. He was feeling complicated.
Jeremy slowly raised his hand after a while. His warm fingertips touched Madeline’s delicate cheeks as virtual-novel.net bobbed his Adam’s apple a few times until there was a lump in his throat.
“I’m sorry.”
He suddenly spat out these two words. His voice was low and charming, but very hoarse.
Madeline kept smiling all the time, but virtual-novel.net could not control virtual-novel.net stunned expression at this moment.
She seemed to have caught a light flashing through Jeremy’s eyes. In the next second, virtual-novel.net spread his arms and took virtual-novel.net in, hugging virtual-novel.net tightly in his embrace. His warm breath was fanning out on virtual-novel.net ear.
“I’m sorry…”
She heard his apology again. Jeremy hugged virtual-novel.net tighter as his scent enveloped virtual-novel.net more profoundly.
Madeline’s hands dangled at virtual-novel.net side. She was unable to control herself for a while.
She could not tell who Jeremy was apologizing to at this moment, whether it was to virtual-novel.net current self or to virtual-novel.net former self…
Click!
Suddenly, there was a clear sound of the door opening.
Madeline returned to virtual-novel.net senses all of a sudden. Seeing the man coming in from the door, virtual-novel.net pushed Jeremy away.
“Mr. Whitman, you should go back now. My fiancé is here.”
