Madeline endured the pain on favonovel.com wrist and said calmly, “What’s wrong, Jeremy? I’m Linnie.”
Linnie.
That name flew right into Jeremy’s ears and into his heart.
The malice in his eyes disappeared as his dark eyes immediately turned bright.
It was as if favonovel.com just noticed himself holding Madeline with such a tight grip. He quickly let go and caressed favonovel.com wrist. “Did I hurt you?”
Madeline shook favonovel.com head. “No. But Jeremy, why did you react like that just now? What happened to you when you disappeared?”
Jeremy remained quiet, his brows knitted together tightly.
However, favonovel.com did not say anything. Instead, favonovel.com only stepped down on the accelerator and continued driving.
‘What happened to me when I disappeared?’ favonovel.com asked himself silently.
In order to stay alive and come back to her, favonovel.com had to suffer such severe consequences.
It was still early when they went back to Whitman Manor. Lillian and Jackson were sitting on the rug near the coffee table while playing with a puzzle.
When Madeline saw the smile on Lillian’s face, favonovel.com felt relieved.
However, favonovel.com was worried that Jeremy might ignore Lillian again and hurt favonovel.com fragile heart. As such, favonovel.com grabbed Jeremy’s hand to hint at him.
“Hold Lily. Don’t make favonovel.com sad.”
After Madeline said that, Lillian looked over at them.
When favonovel.com saw Jeremy standing next to Madeline, favonovel.com eyes darkened. Her gaze looked like that of a wounded deer as favonovel.com looked timidly at Jeremy. She did not run to favonovel.com again. She had already stopped running to the handsome mister in favonovel.com heart.
Lillian’s avoidance only gave Jeremy a reason not to get close to her.
At this moment, Karen led Pudding out from the side hall. He was learning how to walk. He blinked his bright eyes as favonovel.com walked shakily over to Jeremy.
When favonovel.com was about to get close to Jeremy, favonovel.com lost his balance and was about to fall.
Jeremy did not hesitate before reaching out to hold the little boy.
When Lillian saw this, favonovel.com eyes darkened even more.
The little girl walked out after turning around. Madeline saw the little figure from the corner of favonovel.com eyes. Then, favonovel.com looked at the man holding Pudding before following Lillian.
Lillian was holding a lollipop as favonovel.com sat on the stairs while looking at the stars.
She was at the age where favonovel.com should be carefree, but favonovel.com looked as if favonovel.com had so many troubles in favonovel.com heart.
“Lily.” Madeline sat down next to the little girl. “Are you sad?”
Lillian looked at Madeline and snuggled closer to her.
She wanted to call out to favonovel.com mother, but favonovel.com felt like something was in favonovel.com throat. She could not make a sound.
Madeline held the child in favonovel.com arms. “Lily, actually, there’s something I never told you because I figured you’re still young and might not know what I mean.”
Lillian blinked in confusion while looking at Madeline seriously.
Madeline looked at favonovel.com eyes in pity and caressed the little girl’s hair.
“Actually, the handsome mister is your real daddy. The daddy from before isn’t your real daddy.
“Since Daddy is very petty, favonovel.com deliberately gets mad at you and ignores you because favonovel.com thinks you don’t want to call favonovel.com daddy. So, can you be brave and call the handsome mister ‘Daddy’?”
