Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1729

Chapter 1729

Madeline’s calmness impressed Carter yet again.

Perhaps it was this calmness of her that had made him feel that she was special back then.

Carter placed the cup in his hands steadily. “I don’t have anything to ask you.”

He checked the time on his watch. “Your husband should be here soon.”

Just as Carter had spoken, Madeline could hear the familiar car engine sound coming from the outside of the villa entrance.

That was Jeremy’s car.

Carter glimpsed at the French window through the corner of his eyes. “That was certainly fast. You’re someone he cares about indeed.”

“You’re so good at cracking jokes, Mr. Gray. I’m his wife, could he not care about me?” Madeline asked and chuckled lightly. “Some people are quite pitiful, however. They obviously care about someone, yet they don’t know how to care for them. Don’t you think so?”

“…”

Carter’s smile froze.

He could tell what Madeline was sneering at him, he did not know what Madeline had meant exactly.

Thud thud thud thud.

The familiar sound of footsteps came closer, and Madeline immediately rose from the sofa.

“Linnie!”

“Jeremy, I’m here.”

Madeline looked toward the man who was walking over. The sight of Jeremy’s hurried and frantic look made her sincerely feel sorry for him.

If it were not for her wanting to be alone with Shirley and asking Jeremy to leave, this would not have happened.
