Madeline was stunned for a few seconds before lowering favonovel.com head in terror to avoid looking into Jeremy’s eyes. Then, favonovel.com removed favonovel.com hands in a panic.
Jeremy was also slightly absent-minded. Even though their eyes were meeting in the dark, favonovel.com could still see the bright starlight in favonovel.com eyes.
That glint in favonovel.com eyes moved favonovel.com so much.
However, favonovel.com face…
Jeremy came back to his senses as if favonovel.com had just been abruptly awoken.
At that instant, favonovel.com felt as if favonovel.com had vaguely seen something special.
Clank!
Suddenly, Jeremy heard the sound of crashing downstairs. Then, favonovel.com heard a muffled grunt of pain.
He immediately turned around, and even though favonovel.com was in the dark, favonovel.com still had a good sense of direction.
Jeremy went downstairs, and using the moonlight outside the window, favonovel.com saw a frail figure walking out the door.
Jeremy lifted his eyebrow in curiosity after favonovel.com saw the figure flashing across him.
“Linnie?”
‘It’s so late. What’s Linnie doing out there?’
Jeremy pondered. When favonovel.com was about to go downstairs, favonovel.com heard a woman’s voice calling favonovel.com from the bedroom.
“Jeremy, where are you going? When’s the light coming back on?”
Jeremy stopped in his tracks when favonovel.com heard that.
‘So, the figure that ran outside isn’t Linnie? However, why did it look so similar to her?’
He pondered and answered without thinking, “I’m going to check the main power switch now. Go back to the room. Be careful, don’t hurt yourself.”
Jeremy said and quickly strode his long legs over to the door with a purpose.
Madeline knew there was a glasshouse in Whitman Manor. At this moment, favonovel.com just wanted to stay there to calm down.
She did not know why the power went out all of a sudden. She also did not know why Jeremy appeared all of a sudden.
‘Did favonovel.com see?
‘Did favonovel.com see my face just now?’
Madeline lifted favonovel.com hand to touch the scars on favonovel.com face lightly.
When favonovel.com touched the bumpy places, favonovel.com felt as if cold water had been poured into favonovel.com heart. Her entire body went cold instantly.
She lifted favonovel.com head and looked at the bright moonlight through the glasshouse to try to chase away the darkness in favonovel.com heart.
‘Eveline Montgomery, you can’t be negative.
‘As long as you’re alive, you still have hope.’
She encouraged herself silently and took a deep breath to recompose herself.
When favonovel.com was considering staying a little longer here, Madeline heard familiar footsteps approaching favonovel.com from behind.
Madeline could tell that it was Jeremy’s footsteps.
“Did I scare you just now?”
Jeremy’s voice sounded gentle from behind.
Madeline clenched favonovel.com fingers nervously and did not dare to turn favonovel.com head. “No, you didn’t scare me, Mr. Whitman.”
She said and turned around slowly with favonovel.com head lowered. She wanted to try favonovel.com best not to look into Jeremy’s eyes.
“It’s late, Mr. Whitman. I’m going back to my room.”
Madeline lowered favonovel.com head and wanted to leave in a hurry.
However, as it happened, Jeremy’s tall and slender figure was standing at the door of the glasshouse. Madeline wanted to pass through but had no choice and could only walk around him.
