Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1028

Chapter 1028

‘Why did I have to reach the shore?

‘It’s not your fault, Linnie. I never deserved you to begin with.

‘I hope you’ll never think of me again, the man who made you cry countless times.’

Jeremy made sure not to bail Lana out. Instead, he made sure she stayed the full 48 hours under police custody first before he went to bail her out.

When Lana returned to the villa, she began to scold Madeline to the heavens.

“Your ex-wife sure has quite the tricks up her sleeve, Jeremy.” She mocked, saying, “Is she not afraid that I’ll kill her one day?”

Jeremy’s brows knitted as a flurry of frost flashed through his eyes. “Eveline and I are already divorced. Why must you give yourself unnecessary trouble by going to bother her?”

Lana ground her teeth indignantly as she walked toward Jeremy with suspicion in her eyes. “You still love Eveline, don’t you, Jeremy?”

“I fancied her before, yes. After all, she’s a beautiful woman.” Jeremy’s tone was unfeeling as if he was talking about a random person. He also kept his descriptions of Madeline strictly on her appearance.

Lana curled her red lips and walked up to him. “So you only liked her for her face? But am I not prettier than her?”

Her tone went up as she praised herself. She was staring besottedly at Jeremy as she waited for his praise.

Jeremy raised his sharp and enchanting peach blossom eyes to look at Lana, yet all his mind could think of was Madeline. “Of course. It’s the prettiest face I’ve seen.”

Thinking Jeremy was praising her, Lana immediately smiled. “I was almost bored to death waiting inside, Jeremy. Had it not been for Eveline, I would never have suffered like that. You’ve got to make it up to me.”

She went to hug Jeremy, but the man frowned instead. “Go take a bath first.”

Lana tilted her head and took a sniff. Indeed, she smelled bad after two days without taking a bath.
