Jeremy looked into Madeline’s curious gaze with a smile in his eyes. “Miss Quinn, what do you think is the most important thing in a relationship or a marriage?” It was this question. Madeline was a little dazed, but she was not absent-minded for long. “I think it should be honesty and loyalty. Why are you asking this, Mr. Whitman?”“If that’s the case, do you think I’m considered loyal to my marriage, Miss Quinn?” Jeremy asked following that.Madeline was stumped for words once again. Immediately, she recalled what happened between her and Jeremy in the study a few days ago and also how he had brazenly hinted at her to be his personal secretary. Was that loyalty?He said he wanted to get close to her because of a feeling.In addition, this feeling stemmed from the fact that she was Eveline.As such, mentally, he had not let her down. Meanwhile, physically… It seemed that he had not let her down from that perspective as well.Suddenly, Madeline felt like she was getting diz

Hearing the word Jeremy uttered, Madeline was completely stunned.She widened her stunning eyes that were filled with shock as she looked at the man who was slowly standing up. Despite the height difference, their eyes would always meet in the same straight line.Madeline's heartbeat was chaotic, and so were her thoughts. However, she had clearly seen Jeremy's frivolous gaze a second before. Yet, at this moment, it had gradually become affectionate and soft.“You haven’t forgotten what I said, right, Linnie?”His voice was as soft as the spring breeze as it brushed past her ears.“That day, after having a candlelight dinner with you and watching the fireworks on the street, I said that no matter how the years change or whether your beauty fades, you’ll always be the most perfect and flawless woman in my heart."No matter what you become, you’re the only one I love in my life.”What Jeremy said that night was spilling out from his lips again.The corners of Madeline's eyes start

“Jeremy Whitman.”Madeline pretended to be angry and interrupted him. Her eyes that looked like the stars were staring fixedly at him.“In this life, you only have feelings for me, and it’s the same for me as well.”The melancholy between Jeremy's eyebrows disappeared for a while. “I only pretended to be jealous just to hear you say this, Linnie.”“Uh-huh, were you?” Madeline raised her eyebrows. “If that's the case, I want to tell you one more thing.”“What's up?”“I’m engaged to him.”“What?” Jeremy was shocked, and his expression changed transiently. “What do you mean by that?”“Didn’t you say you’re not jealous?” Madeline's face showed a rare but playful smile.Jeremy was anxious now. “Linnie, tell me what’s going on.”Seeing the man's anxious appearance, Madeline explained in a neither too fast nor too slow manner, “In order to not owe him any favors, I cooperated with him to put on a show.”After Jeremy listened to Madeline's explanation, the sadness on his handsome fa

“When did you come in? You almost scared me to death!” Ada complained while feeling pissed at her old lady.Ada’s mother glanced at the chicken that had been tampered with. “You were too careless. You should close the door when you’re doing this sort of thing. You’d be dead if I wasn’t the one who came in.”Ada chuckled disapprovingly. “Even if someone else came in, I would’ve already thought of an explanation for myself.” She had a look of contempt on her face. “Hmph, I want to utterly make a fool of that plastic freak tonight! By the time Camille takes a sip of the soup with peanuts in it, her whole body will definitely get an allergic reaction on the spot, and when that happens, that plastic freak will definitely suffer!”“Do you think this will work?” Ada's mother still had some worries. “Carter might still defend her.”“Let him defend her, then. If this doesn’t work, I have another scheme prepared for her.” Ada narrowed her eyes and looked triumphant. “If I can't be the viscou

Camille was very allergic to peanuts. If she was even near them, her entire body would start to itch and red rashes would appear after a while, let alone if she consumed them. Her allergic reaction would be quite severe.She had seen a lot of doctors, but they said it was because of Camille's special physique.As long as Camille drank this bowl of soup with peanuts in it, Madeline would surely be finished.Everyone knew that she was the one solely responsible for the food tonight.Madeline could not escape the blame if something happened to Camille.The more Ada thought about it, the happier she was. The smile at the corner of her mouth started overflowing uncontrollably.When Camille was about to drink the soup, she suddenly put down the spoon.“Did you make this soup too?” Camille asked Madeline suddenly as if she did not believe her.Madeline nodded. “Yeah, I made it. Is there something wrong?”Camille curled the corners of her lips. “There’s nothing wrong with it, and it s
