Chapter 857
Madeline grabbed Jeremy’s hand and placed it on her stomach. “Are you happy with this answer?”
Jeremy was stunned. His brain could not register what was happening at the moment.
However, gradually, he began to understand what Madeline wanted to say.
His hand rubbed against her small bump softly, and he felt a surge of joy that he had never felt before rising in his chest.
‘My child.
‘My child with Linnie.’
Jeremy felt remorseful that he had never appreciated her or taken care of her when she was pregnant before this.
He had never even touched her stomach before.
However, when he thought about her condition, he felt an ache in his heart again.
He would choose Madeline without a second thought if he had to choose between her and the child.
Jeremy decided to tell Madeline about her condition when he heard her saying, “Jeremy, when I was pregnant with Jack and Lily, you weren’t by my side. You have to carry out the responsibility as a father for this child no matter what. So, listen to me and go back to Glendale.”
Jeremy furrowed his brows and thought of Lillian.
He had not sought revenge for Lillian yet, so he could not go back like this.
Madeline asked in concern when she saw him being so down. “Jeremy, did you hear me? Didn’t you say that you won’t make me sad anymore? If so, you should listen to me.”
“I heard you.” Jeremy nodded as he smiled gently. “Linnie, I’ll listen to you.”
Madeline let out a sigh of relief. When she saw Jeremy’s dispirited look, she knew he was reluctant to go back. She touched his face and kissed him on the corner of his lips.
Jeremy was stunned, but at the same time, he lifted his head joyfully.
