Chapter 780
She smiled slightly when she saw the old man looking at her with distress.
“Grandpa, I’m glad to be a family with you again.”
Old Master Whitman raised his hand strenuously to hold Madeline’s own. “My child, I’m also very happy. Thank you for giving Jeremy a second chance.”
“Jeremy won this opportunity for himself. You don’t have to thank me.”
She recalled what had happened during this period of time, how the man had repeatedly dashed on bravely with no thought of personal safety. His sincerity and his regret… She had seen it all.
Madeline realized then that Jeremy seemed to be missing.
Where could he have gone this early in the morning?
Madeline walked to the side and called Jeremy. After her call was answered, she immediately asked, “Jeremy, where are you?”
She threw out her question and was still waiting for Jeremy’s answer when she heard Meredith’s voice coming from the other end. “Jeremy, I’m so afraid to live in a hotel alone. I’ll die without you. Can you not leave me?”
Madeline’s fingers tightened. Did Jeremy go out this early just to look for Meredith?
Before Jeremy could speak, Madeline hung up and drove to the hotel where Meredith was staying at.
She immediately found the manager from before and asked them for the room card to Meredith’s room.
When she arrived at the room, Madeline swiped the card decisively.
The room door opened with a beep and Madeline walked in to see Meredith hugging Jeremy tightly.
She was crying aggrievedly in his arms, just like a pitiful little white flower.
Madeline could not be more familiar with this scheming behavior.
Jeremy’s expression was indifferent and even a little impatient.
Meredith saw Madeline coming in, so she quietly lifted her red lips and smiled smugly.
However, Madeline was not at all courteous to her. She stepped forward and grabbed Meredith’s hand that was hugging onto Jeremy tightly, pushing her away.
“Wh-What?” Meredith could not accept such a reversal, but then she saw Jeremy walking over to Madeline and holding her hand. “I believe every word you said to me, so you have to believe me too. I only have feelings for you.”
Madeline did not expect Jeremy’s words. The disappointment in her eyes faded and was replaced with trust and joy.
She raised her beautiful eyes to Meredith whose expression was defeated and opened her mouth leisurely. “A fake will always be a fake. You should have understood this lesson a few years ago, Felicity Walker. I advise you to keep your tail in between your legs. Otherwise, I will have you know the consequences of being a vixen.”
“…”
Madeline looked at Jeremy after delivering the meaningful warning. “Husband, let’s go home.”
Without looking at Meredith, Jeremy followed Madeline obediently.
He followed Madeline all the way into the elevator and only then did he open his mouth to ask, “Are you angry?”
Madeline looked at him. She was just about to speak when the phone rang.
The call came from Cathy and Madeline answered it without thinking. “Cathy, are you looking for me?” she asked, and Cathy’s weak reply came from the other end, “Evie, I did a very bad thing to you and Jeremy. Before I leave, I want to make up for my mistakes. Can you bring Jeremy to me now?”
