Chapter 523
Old Master Whitman’s gaze was serious.
Madeline’s heart thumped as she asked in confusion, “The truth of that incident? Grandpa, which incident are you talking about?”
Old Master Whitman smiled kindly and gently. “Silly girl, the truth is, it was not I who decided the marriage between you and Jeremy.
“…” Madeline was dumbfounded. “Grandpa, what are you talking about? Weren’t you the main reason why Jeremy and I got married back then…”
“No.” Old Master Whitman interrupted Madeline’s doubts. “It was someone else. It was this person who had taken the initiative to look for me and ask me to host the marriage between you and Jeremy.”
Upon hearing this, Madeline felt even more lost. “Who is it? Grandpa, who is this person?”
“It was Jeremy.”
“…” Madeline’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Jeremy? How could that be possible? How could he be the one to initiate marrying me?”
“Because that b*stard liked you, but he was prideful and refused to admit it.”
“…”
Madeline felt her heart instantly turning into a mess when she heard this.
Back then when she and Jeremy got married, everyone in Glendale knew that Old Master Whitman had been the one who forced the marriage.
Now, Old Master Whitman was telling her that he had never forced Jeremy into the marriage.
It was Jeremy who requested this marriage!
“Madeline, I know it’s hard for you to believe it, but I wouldn’t lie to you like this.”
Madeline stepped out calmly, but a storm was brewing in her heart.
She remembered the year when Jeremy had pinched her chin and said while showing a wicked smirk, “Madeline, do you seriously think that I’m still putting up this act with you just because of my concerns about Grandpa?”
He had also said, “Madeline, let me tell you this, from the beginning to the end, it is me, Jeremy, who will decide the start and end of this marriage. Or did you really think that you could be my wife just by sleeping with me? Aren’t you being too naive?”
As the words he had said to her connected with Grandpa’s words from just now, only then did Madeline came to a realization.
At this moment, she seemed to finally understand the meaning behind the two sentences Jeremy had said back then.
It turned out that the existence of their marriage was really not because of Old Master Whitman.
It was Jeremy who had personally dictated it!
The reason was that he liked her?
