‘So this is love at first sight.’
The maid thought gleefully in her heart and immediately spoke.
“Miss Montgomery, don’t worry. Until Mr. Whitman has fully recovered, I will do my best to take care of him in the meantime! ”
The maid was confident. When she said this, she did not forget to glance at Jeremy a few times shyly.
Jeremy caught sight of the maid’s gaze and knew that the maid was very fond of him, but he did not want Madeline to misunderstand, even if she was not herself now.
“Miss, you’re too kind. Actually, my injury doesn’t matter. I don’t need you to take care of me this diligently. I’m already an adult, and I can take care of myself. You don’t have to worry about me.”
When the maid heard this, the blush and shyness on her face gradually faded away.
She looked at Jeremy with disbelief. “Mr. Whitman, you’re saying…”
“There is no other meaning. I just want to rest here by myself. I think I will heal faster this way.”
“…” The last glimmer of expectation in the maid’s eyes was shattered. “Mr. Whitman, why do you say that? You just said you’ll bring the most important woman to you back home after you’re healed.”
“ I did,” Jeremy replied calmly. “But this woman will never be you. I’ve known you for less than a day, so what important connection do you think you have with me? I hope you won’t overthink.”
As Jeremy said that, his gaze naturally shifted to Madeline’s face.
He did not say anything. A smile spread from the corners of his lips.
After listening to Jeremy’s words, the maid, disappointed, pressed her lips into a thin line, and she also felt a burning embarrassment on her face.
However, as a woman, she also has a keen sixth sense. She noticed that Jeremy was looking deeply at Madeline when he was speaking.
‘Was Mr. Whitman talking about Miss Montgomery? ‘If so, it’d be too ridiculous! ‘
