Chapter 809
Madeline watched the man walking toward her and her heart started racing.
She was pregnant and was worried that Jeremy would behave irrationally, so she took a step back out of vigilance.
When Jeremy saw Madeline’s evasive behavior, he curled the corner of his lips and said sarcastically, “Mrs. Whitman, are you worried that I’ll do something to you? Are you afraid that I’ll hurt Felipe’s child?”
“…”
She was indeed worried that the child inside of her would get hurt, even though the child was Jeremy’s.
Madeline swallowed the secret down and said indifferently, “You’re right. The child inside of me is very important to me. So, Mr. Whitman, please act appropriately.”
As soon as she said that, Madeline saw Jeremy’s eyes sink as they instantly looked colder.
“Since you’re so worried, take this umbrella so that you won’t catch a cold.”
As he said that, he handed the umbrella in his palm to Madeline and took something out of his pocket.
Madeline looked intently at it. Amidst the drizzle, she saw Jeremy holding a faded colorful seashell.
“Last time, you told me that you wanted to give everything back to me so that we won’t owe each other anything anymore. So, I’m giving you what I owe you.” It was obvious what Jeremy meant. It was just that Madeline had not expected it at all.
She gave that seashell to him more than ten years ago and he had always cherished it, but now he was telling her that he wanted to return it to her.
‘So, is this what he meant when he said that I dropped something?’
When Jeremy saw that Madeline was confused, he pursed his thin lips and laughed. “What are you thinking about, Mrs. Whitman? Don’t you want to clear everything up between us?”
When Madeline heard what he said, she looked at him with a pretense of calmness. “You’re right. Since we want to clear everything up between us, we don’t need to keep any memorabilia of our past.”
She took out the bookmark that she had kept carefully from the compartment of her bag.
“I’ll give this back to you as well then, Mr. Whitman.” She handed it over.
