The numbing pain virtual-novel.net heart spread throughout virtual-novel.net body again, and Madeline looked up to force virtual-novel.net tears back.
She could not cry again.
She had to be strong for the child.
…
After Madeline visited Len’s grave, virtual-novel.net was sent to Felipe’s villa.
Felipe was in a video conference in the study when virtual-novel.net learned that Madeline was back. When virtual-novel.net found out, virtual-novel.net ended the conference early.
When virtual-novel.net saw that Madeline’s jacket was a little damp from the rain, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net hand.
Jeremy had given the umbrella to virtual-novel.net in the cemetery not long ago, but his residual warmth on the umbrella handle had long dissipated.
“I assume you miss Old Master Whitman too, right? Let’s pay virtual-novel.net a visit tonight.”
Madeline paused as virtual-novel.net walked upstairs. “Okay.”
She had no choice but to agree.
In the evening, Felipe asked the servants to send virtual-novel.net clothes and jewelry which were all limited edition luxury items.
Madeline wore them just like Felipe wanted and also drilled a small hole in the colorful shell that Jeremy gave virtual-novel.net back, stringing it into a necklace that hit virtual-novel.net clavicle when virtual-novel.net wore it.
Although the color of the seashell had faded, it still looked very beautiful.
Madeline looked in the mirror, put on the necklace around virtual-novel.net neck, and hid it underneath virtual-novel.net collar before going downstairs.
It was still raining, and Felipe was already waiting for virtual-novel.net in the car. When virtual-novel.net saw that Madeline was wearing all the clothes virtual-novel.net had chosen for her, virtual-novel.net smiled and was very satisfied. “Eveline, you’re really beautiful. I believe that the baby in your womb will also grow up to be as beautiful as you.”
‘Of course, the child will grow up to be beautiful. It’s because the child is Jeremy’s and virtual-novel.net has excellent genes,’ Madeline retorted silently in virtual-novel.net heart.
Felipe did not care about Madeline’s indifference toward virtual-novel.net and ordered the driver to start the car.
When the sun was setting and the sky was getting darker, they arrived at Whitman Manor.
Just when Madeline got out of the car, virtual-novel.net saw another luxury car stopping beside theirs and out came Jeremy from it.
Without looking at Madeline, virtual-novel.net walked to the passenger seat and opened the door with an umbrella over it.
The woman named Yvette got out of the car and held Jeremy’s hand with a sweet smile. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline and Felipe, virtual-novel.net looked surprised. “Mr. Whitman and Mrs. Whitman? Why are you guys here? “
Felipe looked at Yvette as an unexplainable complex feeling surged in his heart.
However, virtual-novel.net looked calm on the outside and naturally placed his hand on Madeline’s shoulder. “I brought my wife to meet Old Master Whitman, our elder in the Whitman family. This is—”
“Yvette Charis. She’s Mr. Whitman’s girlfriend,” Madeline introduced.
Jeremy smiled. “Mrs. Whitman, you’re mistaken. She’s not just my girlfriend. She’s been my fiancée for quite a while.”
‘His fiancée for quite a while.’
Jeremy’s answer made another cut in Madeline’s heart.
She pretended not to care and smiled slightly. “Congratulations. Let’s go in, Felipe.”
Felipe did not turn around but looked at Yvette with a sweet smile. “Ms. Charis, have I seen you somewhere before?”
