Chapter 393
Madeline was stunned for a second before a calm smile graced her lips.
“I think you might be a little confused about me, Grandpa Whitman. How could I be Madeline Crawford?”
The light in Old Master Whitman’s eyes dulled slightly, but his gaze was clear. “I won’t force you to admit it if you don’t want to, Madeline.”
“I’m really not Madeline, Grandfather.” Madeline denied with a smile. “Why would I get married to the man who hates me if I was Madeline? I would’ve learned the last time that throwing myself to a flame would only get me burned.”
Old Master Whitman was shocked to hear the news. His white brows were furrowed tightly. “Are you really getting married to Jeremy?”
Madeline nodded decisively. “Of course, I’m pregnant with Jeremy’s child too.”
At that, Old Master Whitman’s gaze fell on her flat stomach. He pursed his lips but made no further comment.
“Grandfather, Vera.” Jeremy walked over. “Why are you talking in front of the bathroom?”
Madeline smiled and walked over. “I bumped into Grandfather by coincidence, so we talked a little bit. He even joked about me being Madeline Crawford too.”
Jeremy’s brows furrowed with a subtle tint of invisible melancholy, though it was quickly replaced with a smile. He took Madeline’s hand in his. “Vera does indeed look a lot like Madeline, Grandfather, but I assure you that they’re not the same person.”
Madeline felt tranquility wash over her at Jeremy’s reassurance.
It was evident that he held no doubts.
His grip on Madeline’s hand was gentle.
“I’ve decided to marry Vera, Grandfather. The wedding is set to be held in half a month. That’s why I brought Vera here, to formally meet the family.”
