Chapter 901
Madeline looked up and saw Jeremy walking in with a trace of fatigue between his pretty eyebrows.
Seeing Madeline sitting on the bed, Jeremy relaxed his eyebrows and smiled warmly. “Linnie, did I wake you?”
Madeline shook her head and put down her phone. “Why didn’t you come back last night?”
Although Jeremy did not want to lie to Madeline, he also did not want Madeline to misunderstand anything.
“The client’s case was a bit urgent and I couldn’t leave. I’m sorry I made you worry.” Jeremy walked to the bed and kissed Madeline’s eyebrows.
When he approached her, Madeline noticed a scent on Jeremy’s body that did not belong to him.
She had a sensitive sense of smile, and if she remembered correctly, this unique fragrance was the same as Lana’s perfume.
After having gone through so much with Jeremy, Madeline did not think the man would do anything to betray her. Out of trust, Madeline did not question him. She got up and went to make breakfast for the two children as usual.
After breakfast, Madeline took a pill.
Today was Monday. After sending the two babies to kindergarten, Jeremy returned to the company with Madeline.
As soon as she entered, she saw Lana sitting at the front desk as if she had been waiting for them.
The staff in the lobby seemed to have seen the scoop from this morning. The article said Jeremy was having an affair and spent the night with the mysterious woman.
However, Jeremy did not know of the news. He saw Lana and felt disgusted. Yet at the same time, he was a little worried if Lana would talk nonsense in front of Madeline.
He did not want Madeline to know what happened last night.
“So it turns out that these cufflinks were left at Miss Johnson’s last night. Jeremy had told me this morning that he couldn’t find them,” Madeline spoke up before Jeremy could.
She smiled calmly and gracefully before stretching out her long fingers to take the cufflinks into her hand.
Jeremy was surprised by what Madeline said. The smile on Lana’s face had even become a bit more rigid for a moment.
“Mrs. Whitman is truly open-minded. Your husband spent the night outside with another woman but you’re indifferent to it.”
Madeline lifted the corners of her lips and smiled. “It wasn’t just last night when Jeremy had spent the night out. In order to earn money for our family, it’s necessary to sacrifice one’s sleep time to talk business.
“Since Miss Johnson is so sincere and has asked for a cooperation over and over again, even sacrificing your beauty sleep to negotiate with my husband for the night, then I, as the head, agree to cooperate with Miss Johnson.”
Madeline finished her words neatly. Seeing Lana’s expression getting heavier, her smile became even brighter.
