Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 10

If the alarm clock had not rung the next morning. Madeline would not have been able to wake up.

Her face burned up when she recalled what she had said and done to Jeremy in her drunken state.

Back in the office, Madeline could be seen working on her designs absentmindedly. She could not get rid of Jeremy's shadow in her head.

It had been 12 years. It would be impossible for her to let go of this profound love in just one day.

She touched her flat stomach absentmindedly. If possible. she wanted to give the child the perfect family.

“Ding!”

Suddenly. a notification from her phone snagged her back to reality.

She glanced at it and saw that it was a text message. It was from Jeremy!

Madeline's heart started beating unrhythmically. Her hands even started to tremble as she opened the message.

The first thing Madeline saw was a photo. It was a photo of Madeline and Meredith. They had taken this picture when she was adopted by the Crawfords.

In the photo, Meredith was wearing an expensive dress. The light was shining down on her beaming face. and she was like an untouched princess. She looked so elegant and exceptional. On the other hand, Madeline was wearing a greyish white dress. She looked as lowly as an ugly duckling in a dark corner.

Below the photo was Jeremy’s message. When she saw the contents of it. the temperature of her fingertips plummeted.

‘Madeline. look at Meredith and then look at yourself. How will a filthy and lowly woman like you ever meet the qualifications of being my wife?’

The words stabbed her eyes like a knife made from ice. They were so heart-wrenching and unpleasant to the eye.

She recalled the summer 12 years ago. She could not handle the cruelness and resentment

Jeremy had for her now.
