Chapter 218
Madeline shook her head. “I still didn’t handle it well enough. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be suspecting me again and again for being his damned ex-wife.”
Madeline carried bitterness in her emotions when she said the last two words, but she quickly smiled at Felipe faintly.
“Don’t worry about me. I’m no longer the silly and stupid Madeline Crawford. I won’t disappoint you with the chance of rebirth that you’ve given me.”
Felipe curled the edge of his lips and smiled. There was a touch of mystery in those bright and deep eyes.
Madeline helped him to take off the coat that had been dampened by rainwater and got him new toiletries.
He took a shower and put on a white bathrobe, wiping a few strands of his wet hair with a dry towel.
He entered Madeline’s room naturally. Seeing the cutie asleep on the bed, Felipe bent down slowly and dropped a loving kiss on Lily’s cheek.
“Felipe, I’ve cleaned up the room.” Madeline entered the room softly.
Felipe turned and walked toward her. “I’ll be going back to Whitman Manor in two days. Come with me.”
“Okay.” Madeline nodded.
“Rest early. Goodnight,” Felipe said with his head bowed. His thin, pale lips landed between Madeline’s eyebrows without staying on unnecessarily long. He turned around and went out quickly, closing the door smoothly.
Madeline stood still in a daze, feeling somewhat complicated.
She was not a fool. Felipe only helped her so much because he had romantic feelings for her to some extent.
Especially when she was accused by Meredith of stealing the necklace six years ago. At that time, he had provided her with evidence that could prove her innocence.
He had already been helping her secretly since back then.
However, in the three years she spent with Felipe, she felt that he was too mysterious. It could even be said that he was unpredictable.
He was a gentleman, a decent gentleman.
However, Madeline’s instinct told her that he had a hidden secret.
Madeline shook her head to force herself to stop thinking about it.
After Jeremy left, he sat in his car. Even after the lights in Madeline’s apartment were switched off, he still did not leave.
“Felipe Whitman.”
Felipe’s name came out from his lips.
