After Jeremy finished saying that, the crowd drew a sharp, astonished breath.Back then during the press conference of Montgomery Enterprise, they finally knew that Madeline was the true Miss Montgomery. They were also shocked at first, but they were more surprised by what Jeremy had said now.Who did not know that the young master of the richest family in Glendale was in love with Meredith Crawford? Why did it suddenly become Madeline Crawford now?Madeline should be the woman he despised the most.“Mr. Whitman, you mean that you’ve always been in love with your ex-wife, Madeline Crawford, and not Meredith Crawford?” a journalist broke the silence and questioned.“You got half of it right,” Jeremy replied. He stared at Madeline with tenderness in his eyes. “I don’t have an ex-wife because this whole time, I’ve only had one wife.”The journalists were stumped for words. “But Mr. Whitman, you divorced Madeline Crawford three years ago…”“There were indeed some contradictions and

Jeremy started the car instantly.After Madeline heard his words, an expectant smile appeared on her cold face.Through the mirror, Jeremy could see that Madeline was holding her hands tightly. There were endless emotions in her eyes along with a hint of nervousness.Jeremy curled the corners of his lips when he saw the look of genuine happiness on Madeline’s face.He was finally seeing a smile on his face.However, after driving on the busy roads, the car ended up in a place where Madeline was familiar with.She was puzzled as she reminisced about the scenery outside the window.‘Has my child been living in April Hill this entire time?‘Then who’s taking care of my child?’The car came to a stop slowly as she was thinking about these questions.Madeline did not wait for Jeremy to open the door for her and got out hurriedly.Everything in front was not foreign to her. They were at the beach of April Hill.It was the depths of winter and the sea breeze was bone-chillingly co

At that, Madeline broke into a mocking chuckle. Even so, her eyes grew wet as the sea wind blew despite her laughter. “Do you even hear what you’re saying, Jeremy?” She scoffed, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. “You’re telling me that you loved me since the moment we met again, yet you’ve taken a part of my flesh away?” Madeline’s expression darkened the most at the mention of ‘love’. “Is this what it means to love someone, Jeremy? Being in love means that you wish the best for that person! Not to break, destroy, and torture them!” Madeline let out the rage within as her tears began to trickle from the corner of her eyes with the sea breeze. They fell on the back of Jeremy’s hand, the warmth of the tears searing his flesh.“You don’t need to lie to yourself, Jeremy, and I don’t need you to lie to me. The one you’ve loved this entire time has been Meredith all along, I can see it in the way you protect her despite the evil things she has done. Yet what did you do when I

Son? Madeline was stunned. ‘Meredith lied to me. I gave birth to a son, not a daughter!’ Madeline felt her heart stop. Doubt tinted her gaze as she stared at the joyous man. Reading the words left unspoken in Madeline’s eyes, Jeremy looked at her before giving her a weighted nod. Madeline felt all doubt vanish within her heart at his silent acknowledgment and quickly alighted the car. She ran into Montgomery Manor with large steps. Jeremy closed his eyes remorsefully as he stared at Madeline’s impatient figure. Sure, Meredith was heinous, but was he not too? It was dinnertime within the manor and Eloise was walking toward the dining room with Sean by her side and Jackson’s hand in hers when a servant suddenly proclaimed, “Sir, Madam, Miss Eveline is back!” Neither Eloise nor Sean could believe their ears. Turning around at the same time, the couple met an impatient Madeline with surprise and elation. “Eveline!” Eloise called for Madeline lovingly before she could

Madeline’s eyes held nothing but frost in them as they met the man’s warm gaze. “If you have any shred of conscience left, Jeremy, you’ll give my child back to me.” “Was this what you wanted to talk to me about?” Jeremy tugged his lips into a bitter smile. “Jack can’t lose his dad just because he has his mom now.” “Dad?” Madeline scoffed ironically as she sent a strong wave of despise at Jeremy. “Does your conscience not hurt, Jeremy? You’ve done nothing to redeem your worth as Jack’s dad.” “...” Jeremy pursed his lips and remained silent. Madeline walked up to him, frost oozing off her delicate and slender figure as she stood in front of the lithe man. “Do you even remember what you fed me every time you were done with me? Contraceptives, that’s what. You told me that a woman as wretched as me will never be worthy of having your children. Do you remember?” “...” Jeremy’s sharp brows knitted tightly at Madeline’s interrogation. “I was already pregnant with your child w
