Chapter 702
“Grandpa is fine. I checked on him just now,” Felipe said, lifting his hand to grab Madeline’s shoulder. “Eveline, I have something to tell you. Let’s go.”
Madeline looked at Jeremy who had been looking at her the entire time. Then, she nodded. “Okay.”
Jeremy stopped Madeline as he watched her walking away with Felipe. “Linnie.”
Madeline stopped in her tracks, but she did not turn around.
“Linnie, I won’t do anything that’ll upset you anymore. I’m sorry about what happened in the car yesterday.”
Even though Jeremy did not go into details, Felipe knew clearly what he was apologizing for.
Madeline did not answer him. On the contrary, she walked away with Felipe.
Jeremy was starting to feel restless. ‘Did Linnie hear what Felipe said just now? Will she be mad at what I did back then?’
In the car.
The air was abnormally quiet.
Felipe stopped the car at the side of the road before saying, “Eveline, you heard everything just now, right?” he asked frankly.
Madeline did not beat around the bush as well. “Yeah, I heard everything.”
Felipe’s expression changed. However, he was still gentle when he was talking to Madeline and said with a soft tone, “Eveline, I hope you can understand.”
“I understand. You’re just trying to stop Jeremy from pestering me. You’re doing it for me.”
Felipe was surprised and delighted when he saw that not only was Madeline not mad, but she was even so understanding.
He reached out his hand to hold Madeline’s. “Eveline, it’s great that you’re so understanding. It was so difficult for us to be together after so long. I don’t want Jeremy to exist in your life again.”
Madeline nodded. Then, she lifted her head to look into Felipe’s eyes. “Felipe, I have something to ask you.”
“What is it?”
