Chapter 349

Meredith could not accept this ending. She refused to believe this as well.

No, Jeremy had to be retreating for the sake of advancing!

‘Jeremy must be pretending to not care so that I’ll stop using Madeline’s ashes as a bargaining chip.’

When Meredith thought about this, she found that it made sense.

However, when she came back to her senses, Jeremy had already driven away.

Meredith was unconvinced. She had gotten so close to becoming Mrs. Whitman, but she was still disqualified. She would not let this go no matter what!

She clenched her fists angrily. “Vera Quinn, you b*tch! Just you wait!”

Eloise came out of the house just in time because she was worried about her daughter.

However, she did not expect to see Meredith clenching her fists and saying those heinous words.

Eloise’s worried heart fell.

This was the first time she saw such a sinister expression on Meredith’s face. In her mind, Meredith was soft and gentle. Other than that, she was loving and sensible. How could she have such a sinister expression?

Eloise recalled what Vera said to her not long ago. ‘Meredith Crawford is not your biological daughter.’

Her heart started to race. However, Eloise rejected that idea after a few seconds.

“No way. It’s reasonable for Meredith to be mad. It’s all Vera Quinn’s fault. That vixen is so despicable!”

Eloise found Meredith a reasonable excuse, and at the same time, she reassured herself.

…

After Jeremy went back to his place, the house was empty.

He walked into the bedroom and saw a note on the nightstand.

Jeremy reached out to grab the note and saw the beautiful handwriting on it. ‘Jeremy, I’m happy today.

I thank God for allowing me to meet you.’

It was such a simple sentence yet it was so amorous to Jeremy.

Plus, it was signed off with three words. ‘Missing you, Vera’.

There was an unknown delight in Jeremy’s dark gaze.

Madeline was about to tell Felipe her next step when she received a call from Jeremy.

She looked at the screen of her phone and pressed on the silent button.

The more she longed for him to call her back then, the calmer she would be when she received his phone call now.

What one could not get easily would always be on their minds.

It was too late when Madeline finally knew this.

Jeremy called her three times but Madeline did not pick up any of them.

After a while, Madeline received Jeremy’s text. There were only four words. ‘I miss you too’.

When she saw this, Madeline curled the corner of her lips. A sarcastic smile appeared on her charming face.

Felipe saw the words on her screen as well and smiled superficially. “Perhaps everything would have been different if Jeremy had said those words to you back then.”

Madeline smiled. “Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.”

“Mommy, Mommy. Daddy.”

Lillian’s adorable voice called out to Madeline and Felipe. Then, she ran over happily.

Madeline smiled gently and benevolently at her. Then, she picked Lillian up.

“What’s wrong, baby? Are you hungry?”

“Um…” Lillian shook her head and handed her a notebook. “This is for mommy and daddy. The teacher gave me this. Everyone in the class has one.”

Madeline looked at it. “It’s a parent-child activity. It’s happening this Saturday.”

“The teacher said everyone’s daddies and mommies will be there.” Lillian looked at Madeline with her crystal-like eyes.

Felipe reached out his hand and caressed Lillian’s head. “Mommy and Daddy will go with Lillian as well.”

“Yay!” Lillian clapped in delight. She turned around and kissed Madeline. Then, she reached out her arms toward Felipe. “Daddy, hold me. I want to kiss Daddy too.”

Felipe smiled warmly and took Lillian into his arms.

Lillian then planted a kiss on Felipe’s face.

Felipe’s eyes were filled with love. He had always treated the little girl in his arms as if she was his daughter.

Madeline felt warm when she saw this scene.

However, whenever this happened, aside from gratitude and thankfulness toward Felipe, Madeline would also feel apologetic.
