Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256

Madeline chuckled softly before walking forward.

When Jeremy saw the person in front of him, he stopped in his tracks. He seemed surprised. “Why are you here?”

“Don’t you want to see me, Mr. Whitman?” Madeline asked with a fake smile on her face. Then, she added, “Actually, I’m worried. However, I’m not worried about Meredith. I’m worried about you.”

Jeremy was taken aback. He looked at the woman who was smiling at him under the dim lights. There was an ominous glint in his eyes as he walked in front of her. “Follow me.”

He grabbed Madeline’s hand all of a sudden, the coldness of his hand traveling to her heart instantly.

She did not pull her hand away, but at the same time, she did not feel as reluctant to let go as before.

Jeremy brought Madeline to the roof of the hospital. With no one there, the place looked tranquil and eerie.

The stars were scattered in the night sky as they twinkled brightly. The cool autumn breeze caressed both of them gently.

“Why did you bring me here, Mr. Whitman?” Madeline looked at the quiet man in puzzlement.

The cool moonlight shone down on Jeremy’s handsome face. One could not read his expression.

“If you’re not going to say anything, then I’ll leave,” said Madeline before turning around.

However, before she could walk away, Jeremy grabbed her hand. “Don’t.”

He stopped her, sounding like he was begging her.

Madeline curled the corner of her lips in secret. She could only make concessions to gain advantages now.

“Can you stay with me?”

“Stay with you?”

Madeline turned around and saw Jeremy’s deep narrow eyes staring at her.

After staring at each other for a while, Jeremy shifted his gaze before letting go of her hand.

He walked to one side and lit a cigarette. The wind brushed past them, blowing out the lit cigarette and leaving behind the faint smell of tobacco.

He had not drunk any alcohol, but his eyes looked dazed.

“Why do you care so much about my ex-wife?”

Madeline smiled calmly. “Maybe I care about her because I look like her.”

“Then, do you care about me?”

“I don’t understand what you mean.” Madeline looked into his eyes with an equally dazed look.

Jeremy did not say anything. Suddenly, he lifted his hand to caress Madeline’s cheek.

Madeline was shocked. She quickly dodged away from him, but Jeremy did not give her the chance to escape.

He grabbed her face and tightened his grip. However, perhaps he was afraid of hurting her, so he loosened his grip slightly.

Madeline’s heart started racing when she felt the warmth from his hand seeping into her skin. “Mr. Whitman, what are you trying to do?”

“I want to do something I’ve never done with my ex-wife before.”
