Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77

His voice was frigid, making Madeline stop in her tracks. Then, she said, “Laundry.”

Jeremy came over and glanced at the black shirt in Madeline’s hand. A storm suddenly set off under his eyes. “Are you washing another man’s clothes at home?”

He was furious and kicked the washing bucket in front of Madeline.

The water splashed onto Madeline’s body, instantly drenching her.

Madeline stood up in fear, her white sweater clinging to her body as her beautiful curves fell into Jeremy’s vision.

It was as if ice and fire had collided behind his eyes. A primitive impulse surged up his body.

Jeremy reached out his hand to pull Madeline into his arms. Then, he pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him.

“It seems that after three years in prison, not only have you not learned how to behave, but you’ve also learned how to provoke me, hmm?”

His gentle breath hit Madeline on her face.

Madeline could not help but laugh. “Mr. Whitman, I don’t want to die yet, so I won’t be caught dead provoking you. Plus, I don’t want to wash another man’s clothes as well, but what else can I do? Such a thing won’t be happening if it weren’t for the love of your life suddenly going crazy and splashing coffee on me. Thankfully, Uncle saved me by standing in front of me.”

“Heh.” Jeremy sneered, “Uncle? You’re addressing him more affectionately than you do me. How long have you known him, eh? He even felt sorry for you and saved you from hot coffee. Madeline, you’re really good at this. Say, how did you seduce him? Like this?”

As he said that, he suddenly and forcefully tore off the sweater that was hanging from Madeline’s shoulder.

The sweater was so soft that it was torn by Jeremy immediately.
