She had not expected that to happen. She did not think that Madeline would do something like that, and it completely shocked her.
After a while, Madeline pushed the man away when virtual-novel.net was feeling less emotional. There was disdain in virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net said, “Don’t touch me again.”
Jeremy’s heart was in excruciating pain. When virtual-novel.net was faced with emptiness, virtual-novel.net felt as if his heart was cracked open.
“Linnie.”
“I’ll give you five minutes. I’ll come to pick Lily and Jack up in five minutes.”
Madeline turned around to leave after virtual-novel.net said that. At this moment, the two kids poked their heads out from the room. Jackson asked worriedly, “Mommy, Daddy, are you fighting?”
Jeremy smiled warmly at virtual-novel.net and grabbed Madeline’s shoulder. “Of course not. Mommy and Daddy will never fight. Stop thinking nonsense.”
Madeline looked at Jeremy in repulsion. However, in order to stop virtual-novel.net son who was too emotionally mature from worrying, virtual-novel.net smiled.
“There’s so much red there, Handsome Mister,” Lillian pointed to Jeremy’s left calf and said.
Madeline lowered virtual-novel.net head to see that Jeremy’s wound had split open and bright red blood was staining the gauze.
She wanted to ignore it, but eventually, virtual-novel.net called a doctor over to take care of his wound.
It was around dusk and five minutes had already passed. However, the little kids were still reluctant to leave Jeremy.
“Daddy, when are you coming home? I miss you so much.” Jackson looked longingly at Jeremy.
Perhaps it was because virtual-novel.net grew up around Jeremy, so virtual-novel.net felt a strong attachment to him.
Jeremy caressed his head apologetically. “I’ll follow you guys home later, okay?”
“Really?” Jackson asked in surprise.
Jeremy looked at Madeline as virtual-novel.net stood there with ice on virtual-novel.net face before nodding.
Madeline thought virtual-novel.net was just joking. She never expected virtual-novel.net to want to be discharged.
Ken drove over to pick virtual-novel.net up.
Jeremy ignored the wound on his leg and insisted on being discharged.
The two kids followed virtual-novel.net into the car and they went back to Whitman Manor together.
Madeline drove virtual-novel.net car alone, and on the way, virtual-novel.net received a call from Ryan. Then, virtual-novel.net remembered that virtual-novel.net had promised to have dinner with virtual-novel.net at his place.
However, Madeline still went back to Whitman Manor first.
Karen was delighted when virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy. However, when virtual-novel.net saw his injuries, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart shattering.
“Jeremy, did you come back to stay with Eveline again?”
“I can’t stay for long.” Jeremy’s words were profound. “I need to be responsible for what I’ve done.”
Immediately, a look of concern appeared on Karen’s face. “Jeremy, were you really the one who set the fire?”
Jeremy could not deny it even though what happened that night was blurry in his head.
He looked at Madeline. She had not spoken a word the entire time. Then, virtual-novel.net said softly, “I think so.”
“It’s all because of that witch Lana!” Karen yelled angrily, “That woman is so diabolical! She used you to hurt Eveline and now, you and Eveline…”
As Karen was saying that, the maid came over and reported, “Madam, there’s a Mr. Jones outside for you.”
Mr. Jones?
Ryan Jones?
Jeremy guessed before seeing Madeline taking virtual-novel.net purse to go out.
“Mom, I’m not having dinner tonight and might be home late. Please take care of Pudding for me.”
Karen grabbed Madeline after virtual-novel.net heard that. “Is that Ryan? Are you eating with him?”
Madeline nodded. “I’m going to his place for dinner.”
“What? You’re having dinner at his place? Um… Are you and Ryan really…” Karen wanted to say it but stopped herself a second later. However, Jeremy could guess what virtual-novel.net wanted to say even if virtual-novel.net did not finish virtual-novel.net sentence.
Not only had virtual-novel.net seen the rumors about Madeline and Ryan’s relationship, but virtual-novel.net also heard about it.
Madeline smiled. “Mr. Jones is polite and refined. Plus, he’s also a one in a million nobleman. However, considering his qualifications, I don’t think he’ll be interested in a divorced woman who already has three children. Although if he’s really interested in me, I’ll consider it,” virtual-novel.net said and looked at Jeremy coldly.
Even though virtual-novel.net heart was bleeding, virtual-novel.net face showed no emotions. “Please sign the papers so that we can divorce as soon as possible. I don’t want to be Mrs. Whitman anymore. I want to be myself and start a new life. And the same goes for my marriage.”
