Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1494

Chapter 1494

She turned around. There was a door between them, so she did not know who was out there.

“It’s me.” Jeremy’s voice sounded softly from the other side of the food.

Madeline quickly put on her mask before opening the door. When she saw the tall man in front of her, she tried her best to keep calm.

“Can I help you, Mr. Whitman?”

“Don’t take what happened just now to heart. You risked your life to save Lily, so it means you’re kind-hearted. I believe that you won’t push someone for no reason.”

Madeline was surprised when she heard this.

She did not expect the man to deliberately come and comfort her.

Madeline stayed quiet for two seconds when suddenly, she looked into Jeremy’s eyes.

“Are you saying that you believe me but not Mrs. Whitman whom you love the most, Mr. Whitman?”

“I do,” Jeremy answered without hesitating. His eyes were staring straight into Madeline’s eyes when he added, “I’ll always believe my wife.”

“…”

“Rest earlier. I’ll be in the study if you need anything. I’ll always be there.” Jeremy smiled softly at Madeline before turning around and leaving.

Madeline stood at the door, and at that moment, she felt lost.

She could sense that there was a hidden meaning behind what Jeremy said earlier, but she did not dare to guess what it was.

That night, Madeline tossed and turned in bed for a very long time before falling asleep. The next morning, she went downstairs and saw Naomi pretending to be a good mother as she accompanied Jackson and Lillian while they had their breakfast.

However, Jackson and Lillian did not interact with her at all. The two children were eating their food obediently.

Madeline pondered and did not notice Jeremy approaching her from behind.

She only sensed the familiar scent after Jeremy walked past her.

“Why are you spacing out here? Go have breakfast.” Jeremy invited her over in a friendly and gentle tone.

Madeline looked at him. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Whitman. I’ll eat something after you’re done in case I scare the children with my face.”

To be honest, Madeline was not throwing a tantrum. She just did not want to remove her mask and scare the young children.

Jeremy wanted to say something but stopped himself when he saw Madeline turning around to walk away. Suddenly, he heard the pitter-patter of footsteps behind him.

He turned around to look and saw Lillian running behind Madeline with her chubby legs. Then, she grabbed her clothes.

“Mommy.”
