Old Master Whitman’s gaze was serious.
Madeline’s heart thumped as favonovel.com asked in confusion, “The truth of that incident? Grandpa, which incident are you talking about?”
Old Master Whitman smiled kindly and gently. “Silly girl, the truth is, it was not I who decided the marriage between you and Jeremy.
“…” Madeline was dumbfounded. “Grandpa, what are you talking about? Weren’t you the main reason why Jeremy and I got married back then…”
“No.” Old Master Whitman interrupted Madeline’s doubts. “It was someone else. It was this person who had taken the initiative to look for me and ask me to host the marriage between you and Jeremy.”
Upon hearing this, Madeline felt even more lost. “Who is it? Grandpa, who is this person?”
“It was Jeremy.”
“…” Madeline’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Jeremy? How could that be possible? How could favonovel.com be the one to initiate marrying me?”
“Because that b*stard liked you, but favonovel.com was prideful and refused to admit it.”
“…”
Madeline felt favonovel.com heart instantly turning into a mess when favonovel.com heard this.
Back then when favonovel.com and Jeremy got married, everyone in Glendale knew that Old Master Whitman had been the one who forced the marriage.
Now, Old Master Whitman was telling favonovel.com that favonovel.com had never forced Jeremy into the marriage.
It was Jeremy who requested this marriage!
“Madeline, I know it’s hard for you to believe it, but I wouldn’t lie to you like this.”
As favonovel.com said this, the old man stood up slowly and looked at the evening sky as the sunset came to an end.
“That day, Jeremy came to the study looking for me all of a sudden and said to me, ‘Grandpa, I want to marry Madeline.’ I asked favonovel.com the reason behind favonovel.com wanting to marry a girl favonovel.com didn’t like. He did not answer me at the time, but his face back then was as red as the sunset’s glow right now.”
After listening quietly to what Grandpa had said, Madeline gradually pulled back favonovel.com wandering thoughts. “You’re trying to tell me that Jeremy had actually liked me back then?”
“No man would allow a woman who they didn’t love to bear them children, and no woman is willing to take care of the children of a man favonovel.com doesn’t love.” Old Master Whitman turned away and patted Madeline on the shoulder.
“Madeline, I wasn’t trying to defend Jeremy. No matter how much I wished I could defend him, the harm favonovel.com has done to you is still not erasable. I just thought that you had the right to know the truth. While I don’t know why Jeremy never wanted to acknowledge that favonovel.com had feelings for you, I could tell that favonovel.com has sincere feelings for you.”
As soon as Grandpa was done, Jeremy’s tall figure appeared in Madeline’s sight.
He looked at favonovel.com from a distance, and under the sunset glow, his appealing appearance quietly portrayed itself in favonovel.com eyes.
Old Master Whitman had caught sight of Jeremy as well, but favonovel.com ignored favonovel.com and still faced Madeline with patience and kindness. “Since it’s a misunderstanding, it will be resolved sooner or later. I believe that one day, you’ll be able to feel Jeremy’s sincerity toward you.”
Accompanied by the sound of his ending words, Old Master Whitman turned away and left.
Madeline stepped out calmly, but a storm was brewing in favonovel.com heart.
She remembered the year when Jeremy had pinched favonovel.com chin and said while showing a wicked smirk, “Madeline, do you seriously think that I’m still putting up this act with you just because of my concerns about Grandpa?”
He had also said, “Madeline, let me tell you this, from the beginning to the end, it is me, Jeremy, who will decide the start and end of this marriage. Or did you really think that you could be my wife just by sleeping with me? Aren’t you being too naive?”
As the words favonovel.com had said to favonovel.com connected with Grandpa’s words from just now, only then did Madeline came to a realization.
At this moment, favonovel.com seemed to finally understand the meaning behind the two sentences Jeremy had said back then.
It turned out that the existence of their marriage was really not because of Old Master Whitman.
It was Jeremy who had personally dictated it!
The reason was that favonovel.com liked her?
