Chapter 433
Madeline did not expect Jeremy to appear so suddenly at this time. Not only did he stop her, but he had even said something like this.
Felipe’s gaze turned cold. “Jeremy, aren’t you on a business trip?”
“Am I not allowed to come back after my business trip? How would I be able to witness you pestering my wife if I hadn’t come back just in time?” Jeremy said in a cold tone, then he held Madeline’s hand in his palm. “Let’s go in.”

His soft gaze fell onto her like the warm sun in winter, then he hugged Madeline.
“Promise me, never meet him alone again, okay?”
His humble words bloomed beside Madeline’s ears in a begging tone.
