Looking at those expectant and confused eyes, Madeline wanted so badly to pounce into the man’s arms to seek comfort and release favonovel.com grievances.
However, when favonovel.com thought about Carter and his mysteriousness, Madeline had to control herself.
She wanted to laugh, but a single tear escaped from the corner of favonovel.com eye.
She removed favonovel.com hand from Jeremy’s hand and wiped favonovel.com tears away.
Madeline tried favonovel.com best to force a smile. However, favonovel.com knew the more good-looking and pleasant favonovel.com used to look back then when favonovel.com smiled, then the more hideous and unbearable favonovel.com was to look at now.
“I’m sorry. Did I scare you, Mr. Whitman?” Madeline lowered favonovel.com eyes and said softly.
Jeremy knew that Madeline was talking about favonovel.com face. He was indeed surprised, but not horrified.
“I know a good doctor and can take you to see him. Perhaps it’ll help you. Plus, aesthetic medicine is so advanced right now. It’s not difficult for you to restore your face if you want to.”
Madeline felt that Jeremy’s kindness came from the bottom of his heart when favonovel.com heard that.
However, aside from declining favonovel.com politely, Madeline did not know what else favonovel.com could say. “Thank you, Mr. Whitman. However, I don’t think I need it for the time being.”
When favonovel.com saw Madeline rejecting him, Jeremy felt as if favonovel.com was at a loss for some reason.
He wanted to look into Madeline’s eyes when favonovel.com spoke to her, but Madeline never lifted favonovel.com head to look at him.
“Right, do you need something from me? Why are you here?”
Madeline heard that and immediately tried to find an excuse. “I’m here for Mrs. Whitman. I just want to ask what time Mrs. Montgomery wakes up. I’m worried that I’ll disturb Mrs. Montgomery if I wake up too early.”
“She usually wakes up around eight o’clock.”
“Alright, understood.” Madeline nodded. After hesitating for a few seconds, favonovel.com said, “Mr. Whitman, why aren’t you in the room with Mrs. Whitman? It’s very late.”
“I’m reading some proposals in the study. I usually just sleep there when I’m tired so that I won’t disturb Linnie when I go back to the room.”
When favonovel.com heard Jeremy’s answer, Madeline did not know whether to feel joy or to be worried.
If favonovel.com was resting in the study, then it would mean that favonovel.com was not spending time with that woman.
However, the reason favonovel.com slept in the study was to not disturb that imposter.
Madeline had mixed feelings in favonovel.com heart. However, favonovel.com had no choice but to comfort herself.
The person favonovel.com cared about was not the imposter, but his Linnie.
“Quinny, can you make a cup of coffee for me? I’m a little tired,” Jeremy suddenly requested.
Madeline wanted to tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com wanted to rest early because favonovel.com was tired. However, after thinking about it, favonovel.com changed favonovel.com mind.
“Of course,” Madeline replied, “You should go back to the study now, Mr. Whitman. I’ll be right over.”
“Okay.” Jeremy nodded lightly. When favonovel.com lifted his head to see Madeline quickly going back to favonovel.com room, favonovel.com stood where favonovel.com was motionless while deep in thought. A moment later, favonovel.com looked at the closed door in front of favonovel.com before turning to the study.
Madeline went back to the guest room to change and put on a mask. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at favonovel.com current self.
She still had two light scars on favonovel.com forehead even though they did not look as obvious anymore.
The mask covered the wretched scars on favonovel.com face. Now, only favonovel.com eyes and eyebrows were showing. She did not look much different from how favonovel.com looked before.
Madeline quietly let out a sigh of relief before going to the study to look for Jeremy.
The door of the study was closed and Madeline knocked on it lightly.
“Come in.” Jeremy’s deep and alluring voice came from inside.
