Jeremy did not know if he was imagining things. Why did he feel that Madeline sounded jealous at the moment?
When the maid had heard what Madeline said, a slight flush appeared on both sides of her cheeks as if from shyness.
“Mr. Whitman, just eat some for the sake of your own body,” the maid persuaded again, blinking her big shiny eyes.
Jeremy glanced at Madeline and took the glass from the maid’s hand.
“Thank you, I will do it myself.”
“Mr. Whitman, you don’t have to be polite with me. It’s my job to take care of you,” the maid said with a shy expression and then got up to face Madeline.
“Miss Montgomery, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Mr. Whitman. I heard that you’ll be going to the hotel with Mr. Carter for a light meal soon, so I won’t take your time.”
The maid sounded like she was dismissing Madeline.
Madeline nodded and smiled. “Then, I won’t disturb Mr. Whitman from his meal, ” she said as she turned around.
“Miss Montgomery, be careful on your way out.” The maid smiled and watched Madeline leave.
Jeremy’s gaze lingered on Madeline’s back figure.
However, the maid quickly stepped forward and blocked his view.
“Mr. Whitman, eat.” She was buttering him up with a smile on her face.
Initially, Jeremy had no appetite and did not want to accept the maid’s kindness, but he suddenly thought of what Madeline had just said.
He must rest well and recuperate.
Madeline walked out of the door and, as she closed the door, looked up at Jeremy who was eating.
The corners of her beautiful lips seemingly curled up before closing the door.
From the corners of his eyes, Jeremy spotted Madeline’s smile. He did not quite understand why Madeline smiled, but he felt a sense of comfort in his heart.
‘Linnie is smiling at me, right?’
