Madeline watched the car drive off silently. Technically speaking, it was not a lie.
Their daughter was still alive.
‘The one who died was the silly and foolish Madeline Crawford, not your daughter, Eveline Montgomery.’
Jeremy had planned to bring Madeline to Whitman Manor after they visited Eloise.
However, favonovel.com felt a change of heart at the sudden turn of events. “I just remembered that I have something important to deal with. I’ll send you home first and pick you up tonight?”
Madeline smiled kindly. “Go, Jeremy. I’ll wait for you to pick me up when you’re done.”
The corners of Jeremy’s lips quirked, but the smile was not one from the heart.
He was merely forcing out a smile.
Madeline had felt something was off about favonovel.com ever since favonovel.com heard that Meredith was a fake.
After alighting from the car, Madeline watched Jeremy turn the car around without a second glance backward.
It was a stark contrast to how favonovel.com used to watch favonovel.com leave before favonovel.com made his way off.
Realizing something was wrong, Madeline hailed a ride to follow him.
She found that Jeremy had parked his car at the detention center.
Had favonovel.com come to visit Meredith?
Madeline’s eyes flickered with a cold glint as favonovel.com lips quirked up into a mocking smile.
“You still love her, don’t you, Jeremy?”
…
Meredith was jubilant when favonovel.com came to know that Jeremy had come to visit her!
Oh, how Meredith wished that favonovel.com could take a bath and do favonovel.com makeup, but the detention center made having a good night’s rest difficult.
Despite not liking how favonovel.com looked without makeup, Meredith liked to think that favonovel.com was rather gorgeous herself. Plus, with the trump card favonovel.com had up favonovel.com sleeve, Meredith was at ease.
Meredith’s steps were light and easy. She even remembered to check favonovel.com hair right as favonovel.com arrived at the conjugal room.
Meredith felt favonovel.com feet freeze as favonovel.com eyes fell on the aloof expression of the man sitting not too far away when the doors opened.
She withdrew favonovel.com smile and slowly made favonovel.com way over. She could swear that the temperature around favonovel.com dropped a degree with every step favonovel.com took.
Meredith calmed favonovel.com heart with everything favonovel.com had and sat down in front of Jeremy.
Squeezing tears out of favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com opened favonovel.com mouth to sob. “You finally came to see me, Jeremy. I miss you so much. It’s horrible here. I think someone even hit me last night. They said that Vera is the one who told them to hit me. Jeremy, I’m terrified…”
Meredith sobbed. “Vera framed me, Jeremy, really. She even bribed my foster parents to testify against me. This woman isn’t easy, Jeremy. Don’t let favonovel.com trick you!”
“Trick me?’
Jeremy’s frigid baritone barked out the moment favonovel.com words fell.
Meredith shivered while staring into Jeremy’s deep peach-blossom eyes.
The man was in a black button-up that was layered underneath a windbreaker. Frosty abstinence oozed off favonovel.com in waves, chilling whatever it touched.
“Everything I’ve told you is true, Jeremy. Don’t you believe me anymore? Did you forget the promise you made to me by the sea? You said you’d protect me, love me, and even marry—”
“Hmph.”
Jeremy gave a cold snort.
Meredith shivered again in fear, losing the courage to continue favonovel.com lie.
She stared frantically at the man before her, his emotions not something favonovel.com could grasp. “What’s wrong, Jeremy? What—”
Interrupting Meredith’s question, Jeremy stood suddenly, his tall and lean figure casting a shadow that covered the glisten of fake tears in Meredith’s eyes. He reached out to grab Meredith by favonovel.com collar, pulling favonovel.com harshly toward himself.
Those sinister eyes of his drilled into Meredith. “You were never the girl I met by the sea in April Hill to begin with!”
