Jeremy looked into Madeline’s curious gaze with a smile in his eyes. “Miss Quinn, what do you think is the most important thing in a relationship or a marriage?”
It was this question. Madeline was a little dazed, but favonovel.com was not absent-minded for long.
“I think it should be honesty and loyalty. Why are you asking this, Mr. Whitman?”
“If that’s the case, do you think I’m considered loyal to my marriage, Miss Quinn?” Jeremy asked following that.
Madeline was stumped for words once again. Immediately, favonovel.com recalled what happened between favonovel.com and Jeremy in the study a few days ago and also how favonovel.com had brazenly hinted at favonovel.com to be his personal secretary.
Was that loyalty?
He said favonovel.com wanted to get close to favonovel.com because of a feeling.
In addition, this feeling stemmed from the fact that favonovel.com was Eveline.
As such, mentally, favonovel.com had not let favonovel.com down. Meanwhile, physically… It seemed that favonovel.com had not let favonovel.com down from that perspective as well.
Suddenly, Madeline felt like favonovel.com was getting dizzy from favonovel.com own logic.
Jeremy curled the corners of his lips into a smirk when favonovel.com saw Madeline spacing out and staying silent.
“Why are you not talking, Miss Quinn?”
“…”
“Did you miss me the two days I was on a business trip, Miss Quinn?”
“…” Madeline could sense that something was amiss when Jeremy said such things to her.
However, favonovel.com could not help but feel the heat rising to favonovel.com cheeks. In order to prevent the man from saying something weird again, favonovel.com pretended to sneeze. After all, it was cold from the chilly wind.
Jeremy frowned and walked to Madeline.
He grabbed favonovel.com shoulder when Madeline was least expecting it and pulled favonovel.com into his broad warm embrace. He did not let a single raindrop fall on her.
However, Madeline was stunned. They were in the courtyard of Whitman Manor.
Was favonovel.com seriously holding favonovel.com so brazenly?
Was favonovel.com seriously going to hug a maid who was working for his family?
Madeline was feeling more and more conflicted. She escaped from Jeremy’s embrace.
“Mr. Whitman, did you have too much to drink? You’re being disrespectful toward Mrs. Whitman by doing this.”
Madeline could not help but roast Jeremy unhappily. Suddenly, favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com legs and ran into the rain, going into the house.
Jeremy frowned when favonovel.com saw Madeline suddenly running into the rain.
He followed after favonovel.com closely and grumbled about his inappropriate behavior just now in his heart.
He had to bear the blame if favonovel.com got a cold because of this.
After Madeline ran back into the house, favonovel.com body was soaked and even the mask on favonovel.com face was half-drenched.
It was still early, but there was no one in the living room.
She knew that the children needed to go to school and Karen was usually the one taking care of favonovel.com youngest son. However, Karen and Eloise were not here now.
She looked upstairs subconsciously, and it seemed that Naomi was not here as well.
This large house was extremely quiet and everything seemed peaceful.
When Madeline was pondering about what was going on, favonovel.com heard Jeremy’s warm words behind her.
“Go back to your room to take a hot shower and change your clothes. Don’t catch a cold.”
Madeline looked at Jeremy from the corner of favonovel.com eyes. She did not say anything to favonovel.com before going straight upstairs.
After showering and changing favonovel.com clothes, Madeline put on favonovel.com mask to walk out of the room again. She noticed that the entire place was still silent.
‘Weird. Where did everyone go?’
The more Madeline thought about this, the stranger favonovel.com found it. She walked forward, and when favonovel.com was about to go downstairs, favonovel.com suddenly heard a loud crash from the bedroom in front of her.
Judging from the direction of the noise, favonovel.com was sure that it had come from favonovel.com bedroom with Jeremy.
