“What?”
“What did you say?”
Eloise and Jeremy’s mother stood up immediately, their faces filled with shock.
“Vera Quinn, repeat what you said!” Jeremy’s mother yelled.
Madeline scanned Meredith’s face and saw that favonovel.com eyes were widened while favonovel.com jaw was hanging loosely from shock. Then, favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com head to look into Jeremy’s unreadable black eyes.
“Jeremy, I’m carrying your child.”
She smiled and handed favonovel.com a report.
“I went for some tests this morning at the hospital and this is the proof from the doctor.”
Jeremy looked at Madeline and took the report.
It was stated on the report that favonovel.com was already three weeks pregnant.
“Let me see!” Jeremy’s mother snatched the report from Jeremy’s hand and looked at it closely.
Eloise came over to look at it as well. After they saw the result, their faces darkened instantly.
When Meredith saw this, favonovel.com stared at Madeline with envy and jealousy. After a few seconds, favonovel.com bit favonovel.com lip. Her eyes looked hurt and they were filled with devastation.
“How is that possible?” Her voice was soft. “How…”
When Eloise saw Meredith sobbing sadly, favonovel.com crumpled the report in favonovel.com hand angrily and threw it on the floor.
“Vera Quinn, you vixen! You..”
“Shut up.” Jeremy interrupted coldly. He looked at Eloise, his gaze like sharp knives. He reached out his hand to hold Madeline’s hand. “Let’s go.”
Madeline smiled and looked at Meredith who was scowling at her. Then, favonovel.com chuckled softly. “Okay.”
When Jeremy’s mother saw this, favonovel.com ran forward to stop them. “Jeremy, what are you doing? You’re going to marry Meredith soon. How can you leave with this woman now?”
“Jeremy, one second you’re calling off the wedding with Mer, then you’re marrying favonovel.com again. Now, you’re still entangled with this woman. What do you think of Meredith?” Eloise’s face was green from anger. “You have to give Mer an explanation today!”
“I don’t have the obligation to explain anything to you,” Jeremy said coldly. He looked at Madeline with his bottomless eyes and held favonovel.com hand before walking forward.
“You…” Eloise was tongue-tied from anger. “How could my daughter fall head over heels in love with a man like this?”
Jeremy’s mother was embarrassed. She shifted the blame away hurriedly. “This Vera Quinn is even more despicable than Madeline! Mer, don’t worry. I’ll always side with you.”
Meredith’s eyes were red from favonovel.com pretentious grievances. Then, favonovel.com ran out and saw Jeremy opening the car door for Vera before driving away.
She clenched favonovel.com fists and gritted favonovel.com teeth. Then, favonovel.com smirked sinisterly.
“Vera Quinn, do you think you can defeat me by doing this? Hmph, just you wait. My wedding with Jeremy will definitely go on in three days!”
…
Jeremy drove for a while with Madeline with neither of them saying anything.
Jeremy saw Madeline’s dispirited gaze from the rearview mirror. He braked slowly and stopped the car at the side of the road.
“Give me some time. I’ll give you a complete family.” Jeremy looked at Madeline who had been quiet the entire time.
“You mean you’ll definitely marry Meredith in three days?” Madeline asked flatly. “You said you’ll take responsibility. Is this how you’re going to take responsibility?”
She deliberately looked at favonovel.com in agitation. Then, favonovel.com turned around and got out of the car.
Jeremy got out of the car hurriedly as well. “Vera.”
Madeline ignored favonovel.com and kept walking forward.
Jeremy chased after her, grabbing Madeline’s wrist. Then, favonovel.com pulled favonovel.com in front of him.
Her beautiful eyes appeared in his vision again, making his heart beat erratically. His usual icy gaze had become softer all of a sudden.
“Vera, I genuinely want to marry you.” His eyes looked serious. “Give me some time to take care of this.”
“Really?” Madeline chuckled softly. “Mr. Whitman, it’s not like no one else wants me. I don’t need you to marry me as if you’re giving me alms. Since you love Meredith so much, then I shall help you accomplish your aim. As for the child in my stomach, I’ll take care of it.
“I’m happy to know you. It’s my fault that I have the same face as Madeline. It’s not your fault that you resent this face so much.”
She smiled unaffectedly before lifting favonovel.com hand to tidy Jeremy’s collar. Suddenly, favonovel.com stood on tiptoe and got closer to his face.
“I hope you’re happy. Forever.”
Her sweet voice sounded like it was drenched with honey, favonovel.com words flowing into his ears like the spring water in the mountain. Then, it landed right on his heart.
Jeremy was taken aback, then his heart sped up.
