Chapter 544

At first, they were a little nervous calling Felipe.

In addition to that, Jeremy had reminded them that Felipe was a dangerous person. However, from what they could tell, Felipe seemed like an elegant gentleman.

“Thank you, Mr. Whitman.” Eloise thanked him.

“You’re welcome. I only wish for Vera’s happiness,” Felipe said with a touch of embarrassment, “But please don’t mention my nephew, Jeremy, in front of Vera.

“The wound that Jeremy has inflicted upon Vera is too deep. There was never a minute where Vera was happy when she was with him. Now that she has chosen to forget Jeremy, it’s the best proof that Jeremy had hurt her the most.

“Also, when Vera and I were in F Country, we gave birth to a daughter. Her name is Lilian and her nickname is Lily.

“I originally planned to finish the matter here and take Vera back to register our marriage, but since she has met you guys now, I’m hoping that she’ll become my official wife as Madeline Montgomery. I hope that the two of you will be my witnesses.”

Eloise and Sean were aware of Felipe’s concerns.

Although they could see Jeremy’s remorse, they could not deny that the damage he caused to Madeline was irreparable.

However, Eloise could not help but wonder. “Mr. Whitman, is Lily really your and Madeline’s child?”

Felipe smiled and nodded without hesitation. “I wouldn’t hide anything from you guys. I’ve liked Vera since a long time ago, but she always had her eyes on Jeremy. I thought that she’d be happy after getting married to Jeremy, but you guys have seen what has happened.

“In order to make sure she was alive three years ago, I brought her to F Country and we eventually got together.”

Felipe’s explanation sounded logical.

“Felipe, what are you talking about with Mom and Dad?” Madeline’s sudden appearance startled Eloise and Sean, causing them to jump from fright.

On the other hand, Felipe was not surprised at all and said, “I’m talking about our marriage with my future in-laws. Vera, why don’t we register our marriage in Glendale? You’ll feel better if your parents were there to witness our wedding.”

Madeline showed a shy smile upon hearing it. “Okay, you can take the lead.”

She nodded and agreed, then looked at the slightly startled Eloise and Sean. “Mom, Dad, will you bless our marriage?”

Eloise and Sean returned to their senses immediately and gave them their blessings sincerely. “We don’t ask for much in our lives except for you to be happy and successful in life.”

…

It had been days since Jeremy last saw Madeline. Every day, he would watch secretly from downstairs of the apartment because he was worried that his presence would trigger her.

On that morning, he received a wedding invitation in the mailbox.

When he opened it, he saw that the groom was Felipe Whitman and the bride was Madeline Montgomery.

The name Madeline Montgomery felt as if an arrow was piercing through Jeremy’s heart. He could no longer hold his breath and immediately located Madeline’s whereabouts with the bracelet’s location.

Madeline was at the mall with Felipe to choose a wedding ring.

When he saw the scene, Jeremy’s eyes were instantly filled with envy.

Yes, it was envy.

He was envious of how much the other man could make Madeline smile.

He wanted all of her good and bad to himself.

At that moment, Felipe had to answer a call and stepped aside. Immediately, Jeremy rushed up toward Madeline and pulled her without hesitation.

Madeline was shocked, but before she could react, Jeremy had already pulled her away.

“It’s you! Are you Felipe’s nephew, Jeremy? Why are you pulling me?”

“Linnie, I’m your husband! I’m not somebody’s nephew.” Jeremy emphasized, pulling Madeline away with more force.

“What are you talking about? You’re my husband? Who are you kidding? Let go of me right now, let go —”

Bang!

In a coincidence, two cars collided in front of them when Jeremy was pulling Madeline out of the mall.

When Madeline heard the crash, she was paralyzed and stopped moving.

“Linnie? Linnie, what’s going on?”
