Chapter 1624
He strode to the balcony and saw that Jeremy’s figure had passed through the guests. He was walking toward the door unharmed.
Carter did not expect Jeremy to have such jumping ability. However, he could not do anything right now.
He turned back to the room and saw Madeline who was still sleeping. He glanced at the crystal ball in his hand and walked slowly to the bed to wake Madeline.
After Madeline opened her eyes, she looked dumb for a brief moment. She was confused and ignorant about everything around her like she was a child.
After a while, she regained her senses.
“I saw Jeremy coming here,” Madeline voiced out the doubt in her heart.
Carter nodded. “He was here. He tried to take you away, but I’ve already driven him away.”
Madeline frowned upon hearing this. “He’s so annoying.”
“I won’t let him bother you again,” Carter promised. “After our wedding ceremony is completed, I’ll take you back to Glendale to settle down.”
“Back to Glendale?” Madeline looked puzzled. “Why are we going back to Glendale? Isn’t it good to live here?”
“Of course, it’s good to live here,” Carter said, turning slowly to face the French window. “However, going back to Glendale is something I must do.”
Madeline looked at Carter’s tall and strong back, her eyes flickering. “Why do you say that?”
Carter was silent for a while. Then, he looked back and met Madeline’s curious and beautiful eyes with a superficial smile.
“Let’s not talk about this. Get ready and I’ll take you to see the guests in a while.”
