Jeremy seemed to be interested in his son, so virtual-novel.net started walking into the house.
“Wait.” Madeline stopped him.
Jeremy stopped in his tracks and saw Madeline walking toward virtual-novel.net with a grim expression.
She handed Lillian to Karen. “Mom, can you please take Lily and Jack inside? I have something to say to Jeremy.”
Karen sensed the weird vibe in the air. She was worried that Madeline and Jeremy would start fighting, so virtual-novel.net reminded them. “You should communicate with each other. After all, you used to be husband and wife.”
‘Husband and wife.
‘Sure.
‘Husband and wife, but she’s now someone else’s wife.’
“Jeremy, why did you ignore Lily?” Madeline tried to ask in a calm voice. “You already ignored Lily last time when you were a spy and was trying to make Lana happy.
“Even though she’s young, virtual-novel.net still has feelings and will feel sad as well. However, despite all these, virtual-novel.net still likes you. Why are you hurting virtual-novel.net like this? She’s our daughter.”
Jeremy listened to what Madeline had to say silently. There were no changes in his expression. After a while, virtual-novel.net said coldly, “She has never called me ‘Daddy’. Perhaps I’m not virtual-novel.net real father.”
“…” Madeline was stunned after virtual-novel.net heard Jeremy’s answer. “Jeremy, what are you talking about? Are you saying that Lily isn’t your daughter?”
Jeremy smiled softly when virtual-novel.net sensed that Madeline was mad. “I’ve said the wrong things. Please don’t be mad. Do you want to go to the office? Let me drive you.”
He said before going to the garage to get his car.
Madeline felt that something was amiss with Jeremy since last night. He was even more suspicious now judging from his attitude toward Lillian.
She wanted to know what was wrong with this man, so virtual-novel.net got into the car.
When Madeline got to the office, Coco came to inform virtual-novel.net that Mr. Wells was here. He took a flight all the way here to talk about virtual-novel.net perfume business.
Madeline nodded in acknowledgment and told Coco to make the necessary preparations.
Coco nodded. Then, virtual-novel.net looked at Jeremy for a few seconds before turning around.
Madeline needed to go into the meeting room, so virtual-novel.net turned to Jeremy and asked, “Jeremy, I need to discuss some things. Why don’t you wait for me in my office?”
Jeremy smiled and held virtual-novel.net hand. “I’ll go with you.”
When virtual-novel.net felt the warmth of his hand, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart speeding up. “Okay.”
Since they had already agreed on the details of the contract, they only needed to sign the papers now.
Jeremy sat next to Madeline and watched virtual-novel.net sign virtual-novel.net name. He looked at virtual-novel.net with his narrow eyes, pushing virtual-novel.net hair back with his fingers.
Mr. Wells, who was sitting opposite them, was a traditional man. When virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy being so intimate with Madeline, virtual-novel.net blurted out, “Ms. Montgomery, isn’t your husband Mr. Ryan Jones? The one who was here when we discussed the contract last time? Who’s this?”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Madeline could feel the air around them getting colder.
Jeremy lifted his brow and looked at the man opposite virtual-novel.net with a superficial smile. “I’m Eveline Montgomery’s man not just in name only, but also in reality. Do you hear me?”
Mr. Wells had never seen such sharp eyes before. He shuddered in fear. After that, virtual-novel.net picked up the signed contract and left with Coco following behind him.
Now, Madeline and Jeremy were the only ones in the meeting room.
The air around them was quiet, but the vibe was off.
Madeline closed the contract and looked at the frigid man. “Jeremy, are you treating me like this because of Rye?”
“Rye?” Jeremy rolled this word around in his mouth. “Is that what you’ve been calling virtual-novel.net while I was gone?”
Madeline could sense his jealousy but did not know what to say.
He was the one who handed virtual-novel.net to Ryan when virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net was dying, but now, virtual-novel.net was jealous.
Madeline did not want to fight with the man after reuniting with him. She wanted to get up and leave, but Jeremy pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms and trapped virtual-novel.net there. There were obvious possessiveness and dominance in his eyes.
“Jeremy, don’t do this. There’s nothing between me and Rye.”
