Shirley opened the door and was a little surprised to see the person standing in the doorway.
“Eveline, you…”
“Surprised?”
Madeline, smiling slightly, lifted favonovel.com right hand and loosened favonovel.com clenched fist, then a small object fell out of favonovel.com palm, but the chain connected to it did not let the object fall to the ground.
“This should be the prop you had told me just now?” Madeline asked.
Shirley looked at the nostalgic pocket watch swaying in front of her, favonovel.com thoughts drifting slightly.
She was still surprised. “You really went to find it.”
Madeline nodded then stepped into Shirley’s room. “I did say I believe you.”
Shirley was taken aback for a moment, and then an unspeakable feeling crept into favonovel.com heart.
“Can we start giving it a try now?” Madeline asked as favonovel.com passed handed the pocket watch to Shirley.
Shirley, somewhat excited, lifted favonovel.com hand to take the pocket watch.
“Thank you for trusting in me up until this point,” Shirley said gratefully. Her eyes then suddenly became firm. “Now, we can start.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com locked the door to the room, preventing anyone from suddenly coming in and interrupting.

Jeremy had been lying in bed to rest his eyes this whole time. Deep down, favonovel.com was worried about Madeline, but his current condition did not allow favonovel.com to act rashly. Regardless, favonovel.com was still feeling restless. When favonovel.com was about to get up, the room’s doorknob turned slightly, and then the door opened and a maid came in.
Jeremy recognized this maid. This was the maid who had stopped favonovel.com from entering Shirley’s room earlier, the maid whose attitude toward favonovel.com seemed to improve because of his appearance.
Seeing that Jeremy was awake, the maid approached favonovel.com with a sweet smile on favonovel.com face. “Mr. Whitman, you’re awake.”
The voice of the maid was sweet, and favonovel.com tone was very friendly.
“Back then, I didn’t know that you were a friend of Mr. Carter. If I offended you, I hope you won’t take it to heart. I heard that you were injured, so I came here to see you. I’ve exchanged shifts with my friend, so I’ll be taking care of you these few days.”
When the maid said this, one could tell that favonovel.com sounded very happy. It seems that taking care of jeremy was a very pleasurable thing for her.
Of course, with Jeremy’s observational power, favonovel.com had already seen that the maid was interested in him. He did not want to pay any attention to her, let alone care about it, but the maid very diligent served favonovel.com tea.
She even brought favonovel.com food and initiated a conversation.
“Mr. Whitman, I made these snacks by myself. You can try it. You can only go to Mr. Carter’s wedding tomorrow once you’ve gotten your energy back.”
Jeremy wanted to give the maid a silent treatment, but when favonovel.com said that, Jeremy turned his head and glanced at the snack that the maid handed over. He then slowly lifted his hand and picked up a piece of pastry from the plate.
Seeing that Jeremy had accepted the snack favonovel.com made, the maid was very happy, and favonovel.com handed Jeremy some tea.
“Thank you,” Jeremy thanked her. “Just leave it there. I’ll drink it when I’m thirsty,” favonovel.com declined with a considerably calm tone.
The maid smiled, nodding, and then put the glass away.
“Mr. Whitman, please tell me if you need anything else,” the maid said with an expectant face.
