Upon hearing this, Lana’s eyes lit up immediately.
She hurriedly got up and walked into the room.
The man sitting on the bed was looking at the wounds on his body. When virtual-novel.net suddenly heard someone barging in, virtual-novel.net raised his eyebrows and looked toward the direction coldly.
Lana looked at those charming eyes, and the corners of virtual-novel.net lips curled up ambiguously.
“You’ve finally woken up.”
…
Glendale.
A month later, Madeline was still numbing virtual-novel.net thoughts by working daily. She would force herself to stop thinking about sorrowful things.
For the sake of the child in virtual-novel.net belly and virtual-novel.net lovely pair of children, virtual-novel.net lived every day positively and optimistically.
As virtual-novel.net was still unable to accept the fact that Jeremy was no longer alive, virtual-novel.net still had to face insomnia during the lonely nights.
Madeline came to Whitman Corporation early Monday morning and sat in the seat that once belonged to Jeremy. She then proceeded to handle all kinds of complicated documents skillfully and swiftly.
When it was time for the morning meeting, virtual-novel.net went ahead and attended it.
Although virtual-novel.net was already the new CEO of Whitman Corporation and was recognized by Old Master Whitman, Madeline still asked virtual-novel.net employees to call virtual-novel.net Madam.
This address gave virtual-novel.net the illusion that Jeremy was still alive, and this illusion had the ability to heal virtual-novel.net broken heart.
It was almost noon, and just when Madeline was about to have a meal, virtual-novel.net secretary came to inform her, “Madam, the head of Riverdawn Corporation mentioned that they want to change the shipment date and design of the perfume. Mr. Jones has come over to discuss it with you. He’s currently waiting for you in the restaurant next door.”
Customers came first, so Madeline headed over to the restaurant immediately.
Since it happened to be lunchtime, it was a common thing in the business field to talk about work over lunch.
Madeline went to the restaurant, but virtual-novel.net did not expect the meet-up place to be the restaurant with many memories.
Although those memories were not beautiful, as long as there was virtual-novel.net in the picture, they were all memorable to Madeline.
It was the same table by the window. The only difference was that the person in front of virtual-novel.net was no longer Jeremy.
Madeline ordered the dishes virtual-novel.net had ordered before, but when virtual-novel.net ate the food, virtual-novel.net felt that even the taste was not as good as before.
She knew that it was all because of Jeremy who had left.
Seeing Madeline’s light appetite, Ryan asked with a polite smile, “Are the dishes here not suited to Mrs. Whitman’s appetite?”
Only then did Madeline pull virtual-novel.net thoughts back together after hearing his words. She smiled lightly, saying, “My appetite might have changed a lot because of my pregnancy. I used to like the food here.”
“It’s because you were with Mr. Whitman all the times before that’s why the food here was delicious, yes?” Ryan’s words made Madeline dwell deeply in virtual-novel.net thoughts again.
Seeing that Madeline had been struck dumb, Ryan apologized to her. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Whitman. I’ve reminded you of something unhappy.”
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head as virtual-novel.net came back to virtual-novel.net senses. “It’s okay. Mr. Jones, you can go ahead and tell me about the request regarding the wedding ring design. I’ll change it later when I get back.”
She smiled and looked at the man in front of her.
Ryan was the only child of the Jones family, one of the four giants in Glendale.
This man had a blessed and superior appearance. He was tall and had good looks as well.
Coupled with his munificent family background, virtual-novel.net was the dream lover of many ladies.
However, virtual-novel.net got engaged a month ago. It was said that his partner was a rich lady from Advent City, a lady with both beauty and wisdom.
Madeline had been in contact with Ryan several times before. This man was indeed the same as what virtual-novel.net had heard from others. He was gentle, polite, gentlemanly, and very fond of his fiancée.
That was why virtual-novel.net invited Madeline to talk about the design of the wedding ring today.
Madeline noted down Ryan’s request one by one, then proceeded to pay the bill and was prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the moment virtual-novel.net stood up, virtual-novel.net stepped on a small puddle by virtual-novel.net feet and suddenly lost balance of virtual-novel.net body.
Madeline instinctively protected virtual-novel.net more than six months pregnant belly and held onto the table with virtual-novel.net other hand. Yet, before virtual-novel.net could grab onto the edge of the table, a palm held virtual-novel.net hand tightly. Her body was then stabilized by a strong arm.
“You scared me there, Mrs. Whitman. Are you alright?”
