Carter’s cold gaze swept across Ada’s face. “You can go back too.”
“…”
Ada pressed favonovel.com lips together. Although favonovel.com was very reluctant, favonovel.com did not have another choice. As such, favonovel.com could only pretend to be sensible and said to Camille in concern.
“Aunty Cammy, I’ll be heading back first. You’ve been busy the whole day today. Please rest early.”
Camille waved favonovel.com hand. “Go back first, then.”
Ada did not dare to say much and left soon after.
“Is favonovel.com still unconscious?” Camille’s tone was slightly dissatisfied.
Carter nodded. “Maybe favonovel.com has been too tense these days, so that’s why she’s like this.”
“Does favonovel.com already have three children with that Jeremy guy?”
Camille suddenly changed the subject, but Carter looked calm.
“I don’t care how many children favonovel.com had before this.”
“…Y-You don’t you care?” Camille was surprised and stood up. “Carter, do you like Eveline to such an extent?”
“I do.” Carter listened to the words favonovel.com said and smiled vaguely. “Rest early. We still have a lot to do tomorrow.”
“…” Camille still wanted to say something, but seeing Carter bluntly turning his back toward her, favonovel.com felt that it was useless to say anything more.
Late at night.
Everyone in Gray Manor had fallen asleep.
A tall and slender figure quietly entered one of the bedrooms.
Madeline, who was lying on the bed, heard the sound and suddenly opened favonovel.com eyes.
In the darkness, favonovel.com saw a familiar silhouette quickly approaching her.
“Linnie.”
Jeremy’s deep and alluring voice blossomed in Madeline’s ears.
Madeline sat up quickly. “Why are you here again?”
“Linnie, I’m here to take you home.” Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s wrist. Although favonovel.com was anxious, favonovel.com still knew the strength of his grip.
Seeing that Madeline was looking at favonovel.com without speaking, Jeremy decisively pulled Madeline to the door of the room.
However, after only two steps, Madeline suddenly stopped in favonovel.com tracks and escaped from Jeremy’s grip.
“Jeremy, leave now.” Madeline’s voice sounded very decisive.
In the darkness, Jeremy caught Madeline’s steadfast gaze under the moonlight.
“Leave.” Madeline insisted, saying, “Jeremy, if you continue to stay here, you’ll only place yourself in a more dangerous situation. I’m not scaring you. You saw the situation yourself earlier today.”
“As long as I can take Linnie home, I don’t care what danger I encounter.”
“But I do,” Madeline talked back indifferently, “I don’t want to see you, do you know that? Leave now. If you don’t leave, I’ll call for someone.”
Jeremy’s clenched hand loosened slightly, but favonovel.com still could not bear to let go.
Madeline furrowed favonovel.com eyebrows and shook off Jeremy’s palm suddenly. “Get lost!”
It was unknown whether Madeline’s movement was too abrupt and shocking, but Jeremy was thrown to the side and ended up slamming into the wall.
He let out a muffled sound of pain, and his body doubled over reflexively.
Madeline saw Jeremy touching his ankle subconsciously. Even though the moonlight was not so bright, favonovel.com still saw that Jeremy’s face was gradually turning pale. She felt favonovel.com heartstrings tightening. “Jeremy, what happened to you?”
