Immediately, Madeline had a lot of questions in virtual-novel.net head. However, virtual-novel.net did not have answers to any of them.
After sitting on the bed silently for some time, virtual-novel.net finally went to change and wash up.
When virtual-novel.net was washing up, virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net true face in the mirror. The light in virtual-novel.net eyes became slightly duller.
She put back virtual-novel.net mask and left virtual-novel.net room to look for Eloise.
Coincidentally when virtual-novel.net walked past the corridor, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy walking out of the study.
The man’s tall and slender figure was walking over elegantly. His extraordinary aura and temperament went straight to Madeline’s heart.
At this moment, Madeline’s eyes met Jeremy’s.
Madeline’s heart started racing for some reason after recalling what happened in the study last night.
However, after looking into Jeremy’s eyes, Madeline did not know how to avert virtual-novel.net gaze any more.
Her heart was beating frantically, but the man seemed unmoved. His lively eyes were looking into hers calmly.
Madeline started to feel even more confused about what happened last night. Jeremy’s calmness was causing virtual-novel.net to wonder whether it was all a dream.
Perhaps virtual-novel.net was too focused on looking at him, so Madeline did not notice the decorative frame on the wall.
When virtual-novel.net was about to run into the frame, Jeremy reached out and grabbed virtual-novel.net shoulder to pull virtual-novel.net into his arms.
His familiar scent invaded virtual-novel.net chest in an instant, and Madeline felt virtual-novel.net cheeks heating up.
When virtual-novel.net heard footsteps approaching them, Madeline finally came back to virtual-novel.net senses and got away from Jeremy’s embrace.
She looked at him, and his deep eyes swept across virtual-novel.net eyes. He looked so calm, but it made Madeline super apprehensive.
“Daddy.” She heard Jackson’s bright voice soon after, and his tiny figure appeared while holding Lillian’s hand. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline, virtual-novel.net greeted politely, “Hello, miss.”
Lillian furrowed virtual-novel.net adorable brows when virtual-novel.net heard that and shook virtual-novel.net head. “Mommy.”
The little princess looked at Madeline seriously. It was as if virtual-novel.net was correcting Jackson for calling Madeline ‘miss’.
Madeline was trying to ease the strange atmosphere between virtual-novel.net and Jeremy. When virtual-novel.net saw that, virtual-novel.net walked over to say hello to the two children.
“Good morning, Jack and Lily. Go have breakfast now. Your daddy will take you to school later.”
Jackson and Lillian nodded obediently. Then, the siblings walked to the stairs hand in hand.
Madeline let out a sigh of relief in secret. From the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy still looking at her, so virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net head.
“Mr. Whitman, you should bring Jack and Lily downstairs. I still need to take care of Mrs. Montgomery, so I’ll see you later.”
“Okay,” Jeremy replied softly. His lazy voice fell into Madeline’s ears, and it became a rhythm that played with virtual-novel.net heartstrings.
She hurried over and did not notice a small smile blossoming on Jeremy’s lips.
Madeline brought Eloise to the park for some fresh air as usual. In the afternoon, virtual-novel.net watched as Eloise finished virtual-novel.net lunch before chatting with her. After that, they went to the courtyard for some sun.
The way Eloise looked at Madeline was benevolent and gentle. Sometimes, Madeline would wonder if Eloise knew virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net precious daughter. However, Eloise still looked a little dumb at times.
When it was almost dusk, Madeline went to Adam’s place for half an hour to do the gel treatment.
After it was done, the effects were as good as before and the red marks faded away temporarily.
Madeline was more than happy to have achieved this result.
She wanted to talk a little longer with Adam, but virtual-novel.net received a call from Jeremy.
He said virtual-novel.net had left an important document in his study at home, so virtual-novel.net wanted to ask Madeline to help virtual-novel.net get it and deliver it to Whitman Corporation.
Of course, Madeline would not decline this request. She quickly went back to Whitman Manor and took the document Jeremy asked for before heading to Whitman Corporation.
The employees were getting off work at this hour and the offices of different departments had their lights off. When Madeline went to Jeremy’s office, virtual-novel.net saw that the lights inside were on.
She took a deep breath, adjusted virtual-novel.net mask, and strode over.
