Chapter 1726
While this further increased Shirley’s suspicion, she certainly was hungry.
She did not think that Madeline would do anything to the food, so she started eating without worries.
When she finished, Madeline had already changed the bedsheets.
“You ought to stay here for the time being.” Madeline walked up to Shirley. “I know you like Carter, but that doesn’t mean that you should follow that person blindly.”
“Heh. Eveline, are you teaching me how to conduct myself?” Shirley chuckled and asked. “Don’t you recall that you too had done a lot of stupid things for Jeremy back then?”
Madeline calmly smiled at that. “Back then, I loved him so much that I had lost myself, but I never did anything that goes against my conscience or harms others, not even for him.”
“…”
Shirley, silent upon hearing that, momentarily did not know how to refute Madeline.
Unconvinced, she bit her lip, and her eyes were hostile and doubtful. “Eveline, what on earth do you and your husband intend to do?”
Madeline curled her beautiful lips slowly. “You should be grateful that you have a good brother.”
“…”
“Just think about it.”
After Madeline said that, she turned and walked out the door.
Shirley saw that Madeline was about to leave. Although Shirley had regained a fair bit of her energy after bathing and eating, she thought about being locked up here for who knew how long. Seeing Madeline’s back, she suddenly charged toward Madeline.
‘Eveline, thank you for your hospitality, but at the end of the day, I am not a good person, so I won’t fall for this!’
