Chapter 273
On the way back to the manor, what Jeremy’s mother said to him through the phone earlier was still replaying in his head.
Unbeknownst to him, he started to speed up his car and after more than ten minutes, he drove into the manor’s garage.
After he got out of the car, he walked straight to the living room. When he was at the door, he saw the face of his dreams. That stunning and alluring face was in his field of vision.
Jeremy stopped in his tracks as his heartbeat sped up.
Madeline lifted her head and saw Jeremy. She smiled bashfully at him, her eyes looking so lively that it was like they were able to speak to him. There were so many emotions in them.
“I thought Felipe was here, but it’s just you, Mr. Whitman.” Madeline smiled softly.
Jeremy’s speeding heart went back to its normal pace at that instant. He narrowed his eyes while maintaining a smile on his lips. “Are you waiting for Felipe?”
“Felipe and I planned to come here together, but he had something to take care of suddenly, so that’s why I’m here first.” Madeline explained calmly. “It’s good that you’re here, Mr. Whitman. Felipe and I won’t have to inform you again.”
“Inform me about what?” Jeremy walked over to Madeline and stared into her eyes.
Her eyes looked into his deep ones confidently. “About our marriage.”
Her voice was soft as it drifted into Jeremy’s ear and landed on his heart. He felt that her words were extremely heavy for no reason. It was weighing on him so much that he felt it was difficult for him to breathe at this moment.
“You’ll give us your blessings, right, Mr. Whitman? He’s your uncle, after all.” Madeline grinned and looked at Jeremy’s face that had turned cold all of a sudden.
“Are you sure you’ll be happy marrying a man you don’t love?”
Madeline was shocked when she heard Jeremy saying that all of a sudden. However, she smiled calmly.
