Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 863

Chapter 863

Madeline could feel Jeremy pressing her. Hence, she grabbed his hand. “Jeremy, do you trust me?”

“I do.” He did not hesitate before answering her. There was a gentle look in his eyes. “But Linnie, let me share the load with you.”

Madeline told him after she felt his sincerity, “Jeremy, everything will be taken care of soon. You just have to know that the reason I was cold to you is that I have some troubles I need to keep a secret.”

Jeremy was confused. Then, he asked, “Linnie, why won’t you tell me the truth?”

“I don’t want to take the risk.” Madeline suppressed the urge to tell him that Lillian was still alive. “I can’t risk it.”

Jeremy did not dare ask again after looking at the determination in Madeline’s eyes.

He held Madeline’s hand and placed it next to his lips before kissing it. “It’s enough knowing that there’s another reason why you’ve been ignoring me and giving me the cold shoulder.”

“When you find out, you’ll be ecstatic.” Madeline smiled.

She believed that if Jeremy knew that their daughter was still alive, he would be over the moon.

Even though Lillian had never called him ‘Daddy’ before and she did not know that he was her real father, to Jeremy, it was already extremely meaningful.

“I think I’m already ecstatic now.” He smiled and pulled Madeline into his arms to let her lean against his chest. “Linnie, I was so scared that you’ll hate me.”

He still had remaining fear in his heart. Then, he caressed her cheek with his fingers before they lay down together.

On the tiny bed, he was lying on his side as he enveloped Madeline into his warm embrace.

“Linnie, what’s going on with that Fabian Johnson guy?” he asked.

Madeline told Jeremy everything she knew without missing any details.

Jeremy immediately knew what was going on. “So he was saying that to purposely steer Felipe away? Why is he helping you?”

“Because we have a deal.”

“A deal?” Felipe looked suspicious. “Are you sure someone like him will keep his promise?”
