The rumors about Jeremy’s debt and fall from grace started increasing as well.
A lot of people were waiting for Jeremy’s response. However, after a long while, his Twitter was never updated.
Felipe was also predicting what Jeremy would do. However, even after one day, Jeremy never appeared.
It was as if virtual-novel.net had gone missing. He even switched off his phone.
On the other hand, Madeline knew Jeremy was in virtual-novel.net apartment. However, it had been a day. Was virtual-novel.net still unconscious?
It would be impossible for virtual-novel.net to not react after seeing today’s press conference. Did virtual-novel.net get even sicker?
Madeline was contemplating about this in silence. Then, virtual-novel.net followed Felipe to the most luxurious restaurant in Glendale. To celebrate, Felipe opened a bottle of the most expensive wine.
“Congratulations on finally achieving your goal. Now, Whitman Corporation is yours.” Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net wine glass in celebration.
Felipe was smiling from his eyes. “Before I met you, my biggest wish and goal was to avenge my parents. However, now you’re the one wish that I want to grant the most,” virtual-novel.net said, taking out a wedding ring that virtual-novel.net had prepared beforehand. The pea-size diamond reflected dazzling rays under the bright lights.
Looking at the ring, Madeline suddenly recalled the day virtual-novel.net married Jeremy.
Even though virtual-novel.net was frigid, virtual-novel.net still held virtual-novel.net hand and put on the ring for her.
“Vera, I truly want to take care of you forever. Will you marry me?”
Madeline knew virtual-novel.net did not have a reason to reject Felipe’s sincere and gentle proposal.
However, virtual-novel.net had spent all of virtual-novel.net love and passion on Jeremy. She did not know how it would feel like to love someone again.
Then again, if virtual-novel.net could marry a man who would sincerely take care of her, then it would be another kind of blessing.
Madeline thought about this and smiled. Then, virtual-novel.net reached out virtual-novel.net hand to Felipe.
Felipe smiled softly and took Madeline’s hand to put the ring on virtual-novel.net ring finger.
“Mommy.”
Suddenly, the silence was broken by a childish voice.
Madeline retracted virtual-novel.net hand abruptly before lifting virtual-novel.net gaze to see Jackson running toward her. She got up quickly. “Jack?”
The atmosphere of the proposal was ruined. Felipe looked at the diamond ring in his hand as an ominous glint flashed across his eyes.
“Jack, why are you here? How do you know I’d be here?” Madeline squatted down and asked while holding Jackson in virtual-novel.net arms.
Jackson nuzzled Madeline while simpering to her. “Mommy is my goddess, so that’s why I’ll always follow you closely.”
Madeline smiled and caressed the little guy’s head. “Silly.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net phone rang.
When virtual-novel.net looked at the caller ID, virtual-novel.net saw that it was from Eloise.
She pondered before answering virtual-novel.net phone. Then, virtual-novel.net heard Eloise saying cautiously, “Eveline, it… It’s your mother. Jack is missing. He said that virtual-novel.net missed you and ran out all of a sudden. Your father and I can’t find virtual-novel.net anywhere.”
“He’s with me, so don’t worry. I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else.”
“Eveline, wait!”
Eloise stopped her. However, after virtual-novel.net calmed down, virtual-novel.net started sobbing.
“Eveline, I miss you too…”
“If you don’t have anything better to say, Mrs. Montgomery, then I’m hanging up.” Madeline hung up the phone without hesitation.
On the other side, when Eloise heard the dial tone of the phone, virtual-novel.net started bawling in remorse once more.
Felipe initially wanted to enjoy some time with Madeline, but because of Jackson’s appearance, their candlelight dinner could only be cut short.
Jackson said virtual-novel.net was hungry and virtual-novel.net had never said that in such a simpering tone. He said virtual-novel.net wanted to eat mommy’s food, so Madeline could only turn Felipe down and bring virtual-novel.net back to the apartment. Madeline also wanted to know if Jeremy was still there.
“Mommy, do you know what day it is tomorrow?” Jackson asked all of a sudden when they were at the door to their apartment.
“What day is it tomorrow?” Madeline asked with a smile. However, virtual-novel.net stopped opening the door when virtual-novel.net remembered something.
‘Tomorrow is a special day indeed.’
