Chapter 648
“Mom, can I really see Brother Jack later?” Lillian’s tender voice was like the clear spring in a mountain stream—it was extremely sweet.
Madeline’s eyes curved as she smiled. “Why would I lie to you? You’ll get to see Brother Jack in a while.”
“Great, I want to give my favorite lollipop to Brother Jack.” Lily happily patted her cute little hand.
The sound of clapping hands reached his ears, like a metronome hammering in his heart. Each click made Jeremy’s heart ache.
He could clearly feel Madeline walking less than a yard in front of him, accompanied by laughter.
He imagined the smile on her face at the moment and imagined her gentle, kind side while being the good wife and mother she was. He imagined that she would be sleeping peacefully in the arms of another man every night. Jeremy’s eyes were practically blown red by the wind.
He turned around quietly and drifted away from Madeline…
When Lillian first met Jackson, the two little babies were very friendly with each other. Now knowing that the other party was their own sibling, they were especially happy.
Although the two words ‘close relatives’ had vague meanings to them since they were young, their happiness was real.
Sean and Eloise had prepared a gift for Lillian early on.
Looking at such a beautiful and lovely little doll, the husband and wife blushed happily.
They thought these two children got along very well even though they were from the same mother but different fathers.
Madeline looked at the two siblings who were playing happily and could not stop Jeremy from popping up in her mind.
Seeing that Felipe had gone aside to make a call, Madeline sat next to Eloise. “Mom, has Jeremy’s leg injury from before healed?”
Eloise was looking at the two children when she suddenly heard Madeline’s question.
“He got injured from saving me. It’d be best if he’s fine now.” Madeline hurriedly explained.
Eloise nodded to express her understanding. “His leg injury has healed, but his eyes…”
Under the setting afternoon sun, she coaxed the two little kids to sleep before driving to the villa.
After getting out of the car, she walked slowly through the gates.
Everything here still gave her a sense of familiarity.
Jeremy had originally been sitting in the yard with the old man to soak up the sunshine when he suddenly received an unfamiliar call. He found that the call was from Felipe.
Felipe told him that Madeline would be coming to visit Old Master Whitman and asked him to avoid her and leave.
Madeline was coming. That made Jeremy’s heart beat disorderly.
He immediately got up and groped around for a familiar route. He wanted to go back to the house, but as soon as he turned around, he sensed an additional figure not far in front of him.
“Linnie?”
