Chapter 1063
Jeremy and the man who was sitting across from him heard the sound. They both looked up at the same time.
When he saw Madeline squatting at the stairs, holding Lillian who was crying, Jeremy was very surprised. He quickly stepped forward and wanted to comfort the crying little girl but was held back by the man.
The man shook his head at Jeremy, giving him a hint with his eyes. He then turned away, walking out through the other door.
“Don’t cry, Lillian. Bad balloon! See, it’s okay. Don’t cry, don’t cry.” Madeline hugged the little girl sadly.
However, Lillian would not stop crying. Apart from crying, Lillian did not make any other sounds.
Jeremy looked at the little princess crying with tears streaming down her cheeks like the rain, his heart aching at the sight. However, he had no choice but to walk over to them coldly.
“Eveline, are you following me?”
Madeline, who was comforting Lillian, raised her sharp gaze to look at the man looking down at her.
“Lillian got scared by the balloon that suddenly popped and the first thing you ask is if I’m following you instead of how she is?” Madeline stood and picked up Lillian, who was still in shock, before walking over to him on the second floor.
“When you were on the yacht and thought you were going to die, do you remember what was the last thing you longed for?”
Madeline held onto the sobbing little girl tightly with pain in her heart.
“You wished that Lillian would call you ‘Daddy’. You said that your dying wish was to hear this child call you ‘Daddy’ at least once before you die.
“But now, she hasn’t even said ‘Mommy’ yet, let alone ‘Daddy’.”
She comforted Lillian and was about to leave, but after her mind calmed down, she began to think about the reason why Jeremy was here. Who was the man who sat across from Jeremy earlier?
When she walked upstairs, she had heard parts of their conversation. She vaguely heard Jeremy mentioning Lana, but she did not hear clearly about the context.
The man from just now had also suddenly disappeared from the second floor of the cafe.
Madeline approached the place where Jeremy just sat. There were two untouched cups of coffee and a used napkin.
She picked up the napkin, and her keen sense of smell recognized the exclusive cold fragrance that belonged to Jeremy. However, there was also an unknown dark red liquid on the napkin. She could not tell what it was, but it smelled like rust.
Madeline took another napkin from her bag and wrapped it up.
