This elegant and delicate little face had become even more tender and exquisite.
Her pretty little nose and tiny cherry-blossom pink mouth all had the shadows of Jeremy’s features.
Lillian was all smiles, blinking favonovel.com eyes as favonovel.com walked toward Felipe. “Dad!”
Felipe reached out and stroked Lillian’s small head. “Good girl.”
Madeline frowned a little, wanting to take Lillian away and tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com was not favonovel.com father.
However, favonovel.com was afraid of scaring Lillian.
After all, Lillian was only four years old.
Unlike favonovel.com brother, favonovel.com had grown up in a sheltered environment ever since favonovel.com was a child—just like an innocent, oblivious little princess. At this age, favonovel.com was not able to understand the adult world.
Madeline really wanted to take Lillian away, but the security measures here were too tight.
Felipe would take Madeline to see Lillian every day, and sometimes, favonovel.com would reluctantly agree to let Madeline stay. There was always someone on guard outside the room, however.
A few days later, Madeline saw the news on the television.
It was said that a car had exploded in the suburbs. The car was burned till only its frame was left and the driver was nowhere to be found. They found the car as it was before it burned down.
Madeline was shocked to discover that this was the car Jeremy had been driving that day!
He had a car accident?!
Although the news said the driver was not in the car, Madeline was still worried.
That night, favonovel.com had a nightmare. She dreamt that Jeremy was covered in blood and scars while standing in front of her. His gaze was still affectionate, but it looked very hurt. He asked her, “Linnie, do you really not love me anymore? Do you really hate me so much that you wish I’d die?”
Madeline woke up from the dream. She could not call Jeremy or the people around favonovel.com to ask about the situation. She could only call Ava and mentioned Jeremy in passing.
Ava had never liked Jeremy, so favonovel.com said indifferently, “Oh, that scumbag. Some said favonovel.com has gone to M Nation to discuss business.”
If the news was true, then favonovel.com should be safe and sound. Madeline heaved a sigh of relief.
Madeline had to stay in F Country and pretend to be a loving couple with Felipe in the eyes of outsiders for Lillian.
However, ever since the first time, Felipe had not asked Madeline to sleep with favonovel.com again. He also seemed to be busy with important things.
Madeline could see Lillian every day, but Felipe would have someone pick favonovel.com up before an hour passed.
In favonovel.com free time, Madeline either designed or concocted perfume. Unknowingly, the weather had warmed up, but favonovel.com heart was still cold.
She missed Jeremy so, so much.
She still knew nothing about him, only that favonovel.com seemed to have actually gone to M Nation.
Time passed silently for three months. Madeline had just met with Lillian that day, and unexpectedly, Felipe came to pick favonovel.com up in person.
On the way, Felipe answered his phone. After favonovel.com hung up, favonovel.com looked at Madeline who was looking out the car window. “There’s an important bidding project in Glendale. You’ll go back with me tomorrow.”
Madeline’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing it, but favonovel.com expression was impassive. “You want me to follow you back to Glendale?”
“You’re my wife. I certainly hope you can share the joy of a successful bidding with me.”
“Wife?” Madeline chuckled. “Do I have the right to refuse?”
Although favonovel.com said that, Madeline could not deny that favonovel.com also wanted to return to Glendale.
At least, favonovel.com wanted to confirm that Jeremy was indeed safe and sound.
The next afternoon.
Madeline took the plane with Felipe and arrived at Glendale three hours later.
Felipe immediately ordered people to style Madeline for the banquet they were attending that night.
As soon as the sky darkened, Felipe took Madeline to the most luxurious hotel in Glendale, which was also the six-star hotel under Whitman Corporation.
Madeline wore a long black dress and walked on favonovel.com high heels beside Felipe with an aloof temperament.
She was like a black rose that bloomed at midnight. She was a stunner with an incomparable beauty that was reflected in pairs and pairs of astonished eyes.
However, Madeline did not want to simply linger around. She wanted to inquire about Jeremy’s situation.
She excused herself to the bathroom and left Felipe’s sight, but Felipe’s bodyguards still followed her.
Madeline felt annoyed. She quickened favonovel.com steps and slipped through the crowd, wanting to avoid the bodyguards’ surveillance. As favonovel.com was walking a little too quickly, favonovel.com accidentally stepped on the hem of favonovel.com dress with favonovel.com high heels.
Madeline thought that favonovel.com was going to fall when favonovel.com suddenly took in a whiff of a familiar cedar fragrance. A man’s warm arms hugged favonovel.com waist tightly.
This smell and hug plucked at Madeline’s heartstrings reflexively.
She instinctively grabbed the man’s arm and looked up. She immediately saw the man’s graceful face.
“Mrs. Whitman, it’s been a while.”
