Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1138

Chapter 1138

Just then, Madeline suddenly received a call from Ryan’s mother who told her to take a trip to Jones Manor.

Madeline went as it was something she would have to deal with sooner or later.

After entering through the door, she was met with Mr. and Mrs. Jones sitting solemnly on the sofa.

Seeing Madeline enter, Mrs. Jones took the magazine by her side and threw it at an unprepared Madeline.

“Pick it up and look at what’s written on it, Eveline Montgomery!” Mrs. Jones huffed.

Madeline did not take Mrs. Jones’ attitude to heart. Reaching down to pick up the magazine, its cover title spoke of how she had gotten back together with her ex-husband, Jeremy Whitman, and how the two of them had bought a new house where they now settled down in.

The cover page was of the two of them holding hands as they took a sweet stroll under the moonlight.

“Have you ever considered Rye’s feelings, Eveline? You’re Ryan’s wife!” Mrs. Jones accused.

Mr. Jones’ expression was stern as he began to chide unkindly at Madeline. “I knew something was wrong when Rye said he wanted to marry you! I had heard of how you’ve been on and off with that Jeremy Whitman. Who knows if Rye was bewitched or possessed when he said he wanted to get married to you, this divorced woman with three kids.”

Madeline took Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ angry words in a stride as she explained frankly, “We’ve given it serious thought when Rye and I got married. It’s just that—”

“It’s just that what? You’re a divorced woman with three kids with you and even your parents are dead. Rye didn’t even care about any of that, so who are you to give excuses now?” Mrs. Jones marched furiously toward Madeline and warned.

“I’m telling you, Eveline. You’d better make things clear with Jeremy and stop being with him. That man is crazy! He even has a gun on him! Deal with this issue or we can’t be faulted for taking matters into our own hands. I’ll have you know that there’s nothing to celebrate about being a cheating wife!”

“That’s enough.” Ryan’s voice sounded from the stairs, interrupting his mother.

Ryan’s leg was still recovering, so he gripped the railing as he slowly descended the stairs with difficulty until he made his way to Madeline. “Come with me, Eveline.”

Madeline followed, wanting to settle the issue as well.

“My apologies. My parents’ went overboard.” The first thing Ryan did was apologize.
