Chapter 517
Madeline raised her eyes with a little dissatisfaction, but she did not think Jeremy would be so close. His breath was warm, fanning her face. His beautiful and delicate facial features were softly reflected in her eyes.
Her heartbeat abruptly quickened by a beat. Seeing Jeremy’s face pale and weak, she turned her slightly hot cheeks away coldly but did not push him away.
She took Jackson’s hand and said gently, “Jack, come home with Mom.”
“Yeah, let’s go home. Jack will go home together with Mom and Dad!” Jackson blinked his big, lively eyes and nodded obediently.
Next to Madeline, Jeremy felt the heat from her body and the corners of his pale lips pulled up into a satisfied smile.
Once they returned to the villa, Madeline helped Jeremy into the room.
After letting go of him, she turned around decisively.
“Linnie.” Jeremy’s low voice slipped into her ears like the cool night breeze outside the window. “Can you not leave?”
Madeline turned to look back at the man’s hopeful eyes. She faced him with a calm expression.
“Jeremy, I took you to the hospital and brought you back not because I still have feelings for you, but because I don’t want to have any trouble with you anymore. I don’t want to owe you anything.”
Jeremy’s eyes went dim like ash for an instant. He truly realized then how Madeline had felt when she was coldly neglected by him back then.
This feeling was as if one’s heart was being devoured by tens of thousands of ants. It was indescribably unbearable.
He lowered his desolate eyes and laughed at himself.
Madeline did not say anything more. When she turned around, her phone vibrated again. This time, it was Felipe calling.
She picked it up, her tone not as cold as when she was facing Jeremy. There was even a slight smile on her face. “Felipe, don’t worry about me, I’m fine. I’ll head back once Jack is asleep.”
Jeremy heard Madeline’s conversation with Felipe and possessiveness suddenly surged in his lonely eyes.
