Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1130

Chapter 1130

Ryan suddenly reached out to hold onto her. Madeline flung him away instinctively and freed her hand from his grip.

Noticing Ryan’s bewildered gaze at her, Madeline realized that her response was slightly overblown. “Sorry, Ryan,” she said.

“It’s alright. I acted rashly,” Ryan said as he supported the weight of his body with his arm. He stood up effortfully.

“I know that it’s difficult for you to accept that this has happened between you and me. I know that the only man you love is Jeremy Whitman. This shall remain a secret between the both of us. I won’t mention it to anyone,” he told her.

Madeline understood what he meant and knew that he was being nice. However, what had happened truly happened. It was no use telling themselves otherwise.

Other people did not have to know about this, but there was no way she could get past her conscience.

She did not say anything, only simply nodding before leaving.

Madeline returned to Whitman Manor as soon as possible. Jeremy was not there, so she took a shower in the bathroom.

She knew that this incident was not that simple.

Someone must have wanted to plot against Ryan and her.

Otherwise, how could she lose her consciousness all of a sudden?

Did something really happen between Ryan and her while they were unconscious?

Madeline cracked her head but still could not recall anything.

After showering for half an hour, Madeline came out of the bathroom. Jeremy had already returned home. He sat by the side of the bed and appeared to be flipping through a file of documents.

Madeline dried her hair with a towel. She felt rather guilty at this moment to the point that she did not dare to look him in the eye.

“Why are you showering here?” Jeremy asked. He put down the documents in his hand and grabbed a hairdryer upon seeing her coming out of the bathroom.

“I sweated a little. I didn’t feel comfortable, so I decided to shower,” she replied by coming up with an excuse. After telling him that, she regretted it immediately.

She did not want to lie to Jeremy, but she could not bring herself to tell him the truth.

Jeremy did not suspect her at all. He held her hand and sat down on her side of the bed. He then held up the hairdryer and started helping her dry her hair.

His actions were light and gentle. Madeline felt even worse when she felt how much he cherished her.
