Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1979

When Madeline said that, Jeremy suddenly felt like he was at a loss.

However, it was understandable that she wanted to be by herself.

“Linnie, I’ll be outside the study. Call me if you need me, ” Jeremy said and was about to turn around and go out.

However, Madeline grabbed his hand. “Jeremy, your injury isn’t healed yet, so move as little as possible. I’ll wait in the room for a bit.”

After she said that, Madeline let go of Jeremy’s hand and walked toward the door to the study.

Jeremy’s heart suddenly became empty.

If his leg hurt, so, too, did her scalded foot. However, at this moment, nothing hurt more than her heart.

Jeremy was truly irritated. He really had been careless back then. He had not kept his guard up against the maid, so he did not think that there was a problem with the cake.

He recalled the situation in detail, and there was still a particular scene in his mind that he did not want to remember. How could he touch a woman other than his Linnie?

He could not accept this matter no matter what, let alone Madeline.

Once Madeline returned to the room, she sat quietly on the bed and flipped through the wedding photos of her and Jeremy.

After a while, Karen brought her toddler son into the room and said that the little guy wanted his mother to hold him.

Madeline picked up her son. Upon seeing the little guy’s innocent and cute face, the sadness on her face gradually dissipated.

Knock, knock, knock.

There came soft and gentle knocks on the door.

Madeline, who already knew who was knocking, lifted her eyes and looked toward the entrance.

“Come in.”
