Chapter 1622
The corners of Carter’s lips twitched as he slowly walked toward the door of the room.
Jeremy heard Carter’s approaching footsteps and guessed that Carter might have noticed him.
“Cart.”
Madeline’s sudden appearance halted Carter’s footsteps that were about to reach the door.
“Cart, I’m done. Can I go down to see your relatives and friends now?” Madeline asked with a slight smile. When she saw Ada standing in the study again, she could not help but wonder, ‘She’s here too?’
Carter glanced at Ada indifferently and smiled softly at Madeline. “We still have time, so you can go back to your room and rest for a while.”
Madeline furrowed her beautiful eyebrows with slight embarrassment. “Can you accompany me? I think I’m a little nervous.”
Carter quietly glanced at the door of the study from the corners of his eyes. Then, he smiled and nodded. “Okay, I’ll accompany you.”
“Okay.” Madeline smiled and displayed her sweet dimples before reaching out to grab at Carter’s sleeve.
Carter did not say much and started to keep up with Madeline’s footsteps.
Ada looked gloomily at the scene of Carter entertaining Madeline. She mumbled a few words of dissatisfaction before leaving the study.
Jeremy never thought that Madeline would appear by chance at such a crucial time, but her appearance did save him from huge trouble.
Jeremy also quickly left the study. He was trying to find where Madeline and Carter had gone to, but suddenly, he saw Carter hurriedly turning back from not far away.
Anticipating that Carter might want to go back to the study to check if he was behind the door, Jeremy decisively dodged to the corner where there was no one around.
After waiting for Carter to enter the study, he quickly ran in the direction Carter had just walked in.
As he passed the door of a guest room, Jeremy caught a glimpse of Madeline sitting inside from the corners of his eyes. He dashed in without hesitation and quickly locked the door.
Upon hearing the sound, Madeline quickly turned her head and saw Jeremy as he strode toward her solemnly.
