“Thank you, Big Brother. You’ve saved Lily again.” Lily blinked at Jeremy with favonovel.com pure-looking glass-like eyes. “My mommy is here, so you can put me down, Big Brother.”
Jeremy looked at the little girl in his arms as a gentle smile appeared on his cold face. “Your name is Lily?”
“Yeah…” Lily nodded obediently but soon furrowed favonovel.com cute, little eyebrows before shaking favonovel.com head. “Only Mommy calls me Lily, but Dad doesn’t call me that.”
Dad.
Jeremy never felt these two words to be so harsh before.
Harsh and unfamiliar.
He thought of Jackson. In the past three years, favonovel.com had hardly heard Jackson call favonovel.com ‘Dad’.
His heart was beating uneasily all of a sudden for some reason.
He put Lily down and favonovel.com ran straight to Madeline’s side. “Mommy, this aunty wanted to hit me just now, but favonovel.com fell down. Luckily, this big brother saved me.”
Lily raised favonovel.com eyes in a serious manner before explaining the situation earlier to Madeline.
Madeline smiled gently and hugged Lily. “Mr. Whitman, thank you, but please don’t come to me again in the future, lest your noble fiancée thinks I have something going on with you. It doesn’t matter if something were to happen to me, but if my daughter gets hurt, I will fight you,”
Madeline said before turning favonovel.com sharp gaze to Madeline. “I will verify the price of the glass window and send it directly to the finance department of Whitman Corporation. Don’t forget to pay for it, Miss Crawford.”
“What?” Meredith’s eyes widened, but then favonovel.com saw Madeline turning around and leaving.
“Vera Quinn, you…”
“Have you not caused enough trouble?” Jeremy’s voice sounded coldly with a reproach.
Meredith looked over at him, feeling at a loss. When favonovel.com saw that Jeremy had turned around with a cold expression, favonovel.com could hardly be bothered by favonovel.com barefooted state as favonovel.com hurried to catch up with him.
“Jeremy, Jeremy, wait for me. You’ve misunderstood me, Jeremy. Listen to me!”
She chased after Jeremy and shouted, but favonovel.com completely ignored her.
Meredith’s heart was anxious. When favonovel.com saw a piece of glass shard in the middle of the road, favonovel.com steadied herself and stepped directly on it.
“Ah!” favonovel.com screamed out in pain and fell to the ground. “Jeremy, it hurts…”
Jeremy stopped and saw that Meredith had fallen to the ground sideways. There was a piece of glass stuck in the sole of favonovel.com right foot and blood was flowing from the wound.
His thoughts all drifted away at once. She had also accidentally gotten glass pierced in the soles of favonovel.com feet that year, that month, and that day.
He had ended up carrying favonovel.com nervously, walking a mile. She was curled on his back at the time, saying sweetly, “Jez, I want to be with you forever.”
He had promised without hesitation that favonovel.com would marry favonovel.com and protect favonovel.com forever.
However, favonovel.com did not know when it began that favonovel.com no longer wanted to fulfill this promise at all.
Maybe it was the moment favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com was in love with Madeline…
“Jeremy, it hurts. There’s a lot of blood…”
Meredith pulled Jeremy back from his memories with favonovel.com crying voice.
Despite some resistance, favonovel.com still walked over and crouched down whilst still thinking of that year.
Madeline had walked to the door again and favonovel.com saw Meredith sitting on the ground while bleeding from the soles of favonovel.com feet. She was crying and holding onto Jeremy’s hand.
“Jeremy, what did I do wrong? Why are you so indifferent to me now? Have you forgotten what you’ve promised me? You said you’d take care of me forever.”
Listening to these words, Madeline felt disgusted. She was already turning around to leave when favonovel.com heard Meredith say, “Don’t you see, Jeremy? I injured the sole of my foot the same way that year. I was so scared, but you walked such a long distance with me on your back. You said that you’d protect me forever and never let harm befall me. Did you forget…”
