“I’ll take you home, but not now, “ Madeline said and looked at Jeremy. Then, she said, “Go to the room with me and rest for a while.“
Hannah seemed to want to say something, but when she saw that Madeline had turned around, she hurriedly followed her.
“What a lunatic! “ Karen gazed at Hannah’s back.
After she saw that Hannah had followed Madeline upstairs, Karen looked back and asked Jeremy with a calm expression on her face.
“Jeremy, what the hell are you two doing?“
Jeremy walked to the living room with a slight smile. He carried his son who was sitting on the sofa into his arms to play with him for a while, then he finally said, “We’re putting on an act but it’s not only me and Eveline who are acting.“
Karen understood what Jeremy meant. “You mean that woman is also acting?“
“Uh-huh.“ Jeremy smiled. He gently pinched the little boy’s cheek with his fingers. “She keeps clinging to us and pestering us. I’m sure she still wants to harm Linnie, but she’s just looking for opportunities.“
“And you’re still letting her live here? Wouldn’t Eveline be in even more danger then?“
“Eveline will only be in more danger if she remains in a passive state,“ Jeremy said, raising his fierce but wise thin eyes. “The best way is to turn passive into active.“
With that said, Karen completely understood.
However, she was still worried. “Well, although it seems that you’re the ones taking the initiative, I still feel that it’s not safe. What if this dangerous person harms Pudding and Jack now that you’re keeping her in our home?“
“Since I brought her back, I’ll definitely not let her have another chance to hurt anyone around me.“ Jeremy was confident. He smiled at his son kindly and promised, “Pudding, don’t worry. I’ll definitely protect your mommy and myself. I’ll also protect you and your brother.“
Little Pudding did not understand what Jeremy was talking about, so he just grinned and smiled at Jeremy unconsciously.
