Chapter 229
Meredith was ringing the doorbell.
This really surprised Madeline.
Three years had passed. Did Meredith not even have the key to the door here?
She was puzzled. She saw Jeremy frowning slightly with a deep gaze as if he was thinking about something.
“Mr. Whitman, aren’t you going to open the door? Miss Crawford is here. She’s your child’s mother, after all.” Madeline smiled slightly.
Jeremy slowly raised his dark eyes when he heard her words. “I’ll only be gone for a bit. Wait for me.”
“Alright.” Madeline smiled and nodded. Looking at Jeremy’s turned back, a satirical smile appeared in her bewitching and beautiful eyes.
‘Hmph, seems like you’re still not willing to be apart from her, right?’
The rain outside was heavy. When the door opened, the late summer breeze poured in. It was quite cooling.
“Jeremy, you’re finally willing to see me.” Meredith rushed to Jeremy with a sense of urgency.
She was not holding an umbrella, so she was all soggy as if she had run over in the rain.
As soon as she saw Jeremy, her tears came streaming down as if she had suffered great grievances. Her voice was choked as she spoke, “Jeremy, I hope you can understand my ignorance at the beginning. Think about our first child. If Madeline had not been so vicious, I wouldn’t have been forced to do something like that back then…
“I never thought about kidnapping or hurting Jack. I warned Tanner to take good care of Jack. I did this just to give myself and our first child a breather, Jeremy…”
Meredith said this as she raised her hand to pull gently at the corner of Jeremy’s clothes. She faced Jeremy’s deep but cold eyes tearfully.
“Jeremy, shall we start over again? We should let the things of the past go. In the future, our family of three will have a good time, okay? Jeremy…”
