Chapter 440

‘However, now you’re ridiculously exploiting my death and saying that you love me?

‘Jeremy, you’re pathetic.’

“I need to go to F Country three hours later. I’ll be gone for about two days.” The man’s deep voice sounded.

F Country?

Madeline’s eyes twinkled. Then, she replied flatly, “Okay.”

When Jeremy heard her emotionless answer, he lifted his eyes and saw Madeline’s cold expression from the rearview mirror.

After the car stopped, Madeline got out of the car and went into the house herself. When she wanted to go see Jackson, she remembered that Eloise had picked him up this morning.

Although Jackson was not their biological grandson, he was still Eloise and Sean’s grandson in their hearts. They genuinely loved this child as well.

Madeline went back to her room and grabbed her pajamas. She was about to go take a shower.

However, when she turned around, she saw Jeremy looking at her with a complicated look in his eyes.

“What’s wrong? Are you going to berate me for talking to your mother that way, or are you agreeing that your ex-wife Madeline was a despicable b*tch so I have no right to defend her?”

She smiled sarcastically in a nonchalant manner. She then walked in front of the silent man.

“If you want to lecture me, you can save it. I won’t change my attitude.”

However, the moment she finished talking, Jeremy lifted his hand and placed it behind her head gently.

He bent down and closed his eyes. Then, his thin lips were pressed against hers as he kissed her deeply.

Madeline was caught off guard. She did not expect that Jeremy would be quiet and not mad at her, but instead, he would just kiss her.

She was taken aback for a few seconds. When she came back to her senses, Jeremy had already detached himself from her.

He looked straight at her, his eyes filled with gentleness and tender sentiments.

“No matter what you say or do, I won’t blame you.”

After Jeremy said that, he spread out his arms and pulled Madeline into a hug.

His force was gentle yet passionate. It was as if he would hurt her if he held her too tightly or too gently.

“Wait for me to come back. I’ll take care of everything. Trust me.”

His gentle voice lingered in her ear.

Madeline sighed deeply and did not move. She allowed Jeremy to hold her, letting the two of them get entangled with each other.

Suddenly, she smiled.

‘Jeremy, this will be our last embrace.

‘When you come back from F Country, Vera Quinn will disappear from the face of the earth.

‘I won’t smile at you anymore. I won’t even give you a fake smile.’

Three hours later, Jeremy boarded the plane to F Country.

Large white birds soared in the deep blue sky. They left undetectable traces in the night sky.

The next day, Madeline attended the meeting as the president’s wife. However, before she could sit down, Yvonne and Jeremy’s mother, Karen, barged into the meeting room aggressively before cornering her to one side.

“Vera, don’t think that you’re the person with the most power in this company just because my son isn’t here.”

Karen glared at Madeline. Then, she walked to Jeremy’s usual seat in the room and sat down in front of all of the heads of departments. “Everyone, the affairs of the company will be handled by me and Miss Yvonne Yaleman who’s beside me during the absence of my son. If there are any documents to sign or examine, you should pass all of them to me.”
