Chapter 472
The rumors about Jeremy’s debt and fall from grace started increasing as well.
A lot of people were waiting for Jeremy’s response. However, after a long while, his Twitter was never updated.
Felipe was also predicting what Jeremy would do. However, even after one day, Jeremy never appeared.
It was as if he had gone missing. He even switched off his phone.
On the other hand, Madeline knew Jeremy was in her apartment. However, it had been a day. Was he still unconscious?
It would be impossible for him to not react after seeing today’s press conference. Did he get even sicker?
Madeline was contemplating about this in silence. Then, she followed Felipe to the most luxurious restaurant in Glendale. To celebrate, Felipe opened a bottle of the most expensive wine.
“Congratulations on finally achieving your goal. Now, Whitman Corporation is yours.” Madeline lifted her wine glass in celebration.
Felipe was smiling from his eyes. “Before I met you, my biggest wish and goal was to avenge my parents. However, now you’re the one wish that I want to grant the most,” he said, taking out a wedding ring that he had prepared beforehand. The pea-size diamond reflected dazzling rays under the bright lights.
Looking at the ring, Madeline suddenly recalled the day she married Jeremy.
Even though he was frigid, he still held her hand and put on the ring for her.
“Vera, I truly want to take care of you forever. Will you marry me?”
Madeline knew she did not have a reason to reject Felipe’s sincere and gentle proposal.
However, she had spent all of her love and passion on Jeremy. She did not know how it would feel like to love someone again.
Then again, if she could marry a man who would sincerely take care of her, then it would be another kind of blessing.
Madeline thought about this and smiled. Then, she reached out her hand to Felipe.
Felipe smiled softly and took Madeline’s hand to put the ring on her ring finger.
“Mommy.”
Eloise stopped her. However, after she calmed down, she started sobbing.
“Eveline, I miss you too…”
“If you don’t have anything better to say, Mrs. Montgomery, then I’m hanging up.” Madeline hung up the phone without hesitation.
On the other side, when Eloise heard the dial tone of the phone, she started bawling in remorse once more.
Felipe initially wanted to enjoy some time with Madeline, but because of Jackson’s appearance, their candlelight dinner could only be cut short.
Jackson said he was hungry and he had never said that in such a simpering tone. He said he wanted to eat mommy’s food, so Madeline could only turn Felipe down and bring him back to the apartment. Madeline also wanted to know if Jeremy was still there.
“Mommy, do you know what day it is tomorrow?” Jackson asked all of a sudden when they were at the door to their apartment.
“What day is it tomorrow?” Madeline asked with a smile. However, she stopped opening the door when she remembered something.
‘Tomorrow is a special day indeed.’
