When you looked out from one side of the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, you would see a thick riverbank. The other side allowed those in the office to oversee every inch of the city below. It was a great place for an office, and most certainly not somewhere any Tom, Dick, or Harry could own should they wish.
She had once been stripped away of the right to visit this place.
He was favonovel.com husband, and while favonovel.com was never allowed into his office, favonovel.com would let another woman come and go as favonovel.com wished.
Madeline’s lips quirked at the thought as favonovel.com quietly took out the food favonovel.com had bought.
She would never wear an apron and cook for favonovel.com again, for whatever willingness to give favonovel.com once had no longer existed.
Jeremy was obviously in a great mood as favonovel.com ate away happily without suspecting if Madeline had indeed made the dishes or not.
Rays of the mid-autumn afternoon sun scattered over the man’s black button-up shirt, casting a gentle light over his deep gaze.
After lunch, Madeline even went to cut some fruit for favonovel.com in the pantry. Then, favonovel.com returned to the office with a fork to feed Jeremy the sliced fruits, bringing each piece to his mouth.
“It is sweet?” favonovel.com asked with a smile.
Jeremy nodded as his deep gaze stared at the delicate features in front of him. If only time could pass a little slower, even if just a little bit…
However, Jeremy received a call before favonovel.com could finish the fruits and was forced to leave for a moment.
Madeline almost jumped at the opportunity to go through Jeremy’s personal computer so that favonovel.com could carry out the next part of favonovel.com plan, but a quick view of favonovel.com surroundings put a halt to favonovel.com plans. There was a surveillance camera in the office.
She would surely get caught if favonovel.com acted now.
With no other option, favonovel.com began to clean up the plate of fruit, and in extension, Jeremy’s office table.
She deliberately pushed the mouse off the table as favonovel.com straightened his desk. Madeline then picked it up and rearranged it while trying to look at the files on Jeremy’s computer. Alas, the computer was locked.
Madeline could only give up. Fortunately, favonovel.com had not come up empty-handed.
Right then, Jeremy returned, albeit with two other sets of footsteps.
Madeline looked up to find Eloise and Sean following behind him.
She had not told Jeremy yet that Eloise and Sean found out that Madeline was their daughter. Should Eloise and Sean speak of it now, there was no guarantee that favonovel.com identity could still be kept a secret.
Madeline was nervous but made sure to wear a calm smile when favonovel.com greeted them. “It’s nice to see you here, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery.”
Both Eloise and Sean’s eyes openly lit up as they fell on Madeline.
They were elated to see favonovel.com face.
For it was one that brought them comfort and helped heal their hearts.
“It’s great to see you, Miss Vera.” Eloise walked over to grab Madeline’s hands.
Jeremy was rather taken aback by the scene before him.
Since when had they gotten so close?
“Please, take a seat,” Jeremy spoke.
Reluctantly, Eloise let go of Madeline’s hands and sat down.
The secretary arrived in no time with refreshments and two cups of tea before leaving right after.
“How can I help you with this sudden visit?” Jeremy asked straight away.
Eloise and Sean shared a look before finally asking, their expressions looking embarrassed, “Mr. Whitman, we have a presumptuous request, if that’s alright.”
“What is it?”
“We were wondering if you have anything left of Madeline’s, Mr. Whitman? Or perhaps things that favonovel.com used when favonovel.com was still alive?” Eloise opened favonovel.com mouth to ask, favonovel.com voice trembling as favonovel.com eyes reddened.
Realizing the point of Eloise’s request, Madeline knew favonovel.com had to stop her.
Surprised at the request, Jeremy spared a glance from the corner of his eyes at the woman next to favonovel.com before parting his lips to ask, “Why? Is there something you need from Madeline’s things?”
Eloise wiped away the tears that had gathered around the corner of favonovel.com eyes and gulped. “We think Madeline might very well be our daughter.”
