Chapter 1035

Upon hearing what her son said, something seemed to be fiercely tugging at Madeline’s consciousness.

She returned to her senses and calmed down, asking with a smile, “Jack, did he really tell you that?

When did he tell you this?”

“Daddy came to visit Lilly and me last night, but he left really quickly.” Jackson’s big eyes were filled with loneliness and reluctance. One could see that his feelings for Jeremy were very deep.

Madeline’s heartbeat became very irregular after listening to her son’s words.

As if nothing had happened, she kissed his cute little cheek and comforted him. “Jack, have breakfast first. Look, even Lilly is almost done eating.”

When Lillian heard Madeline mentioning her, she raised her lively big eyes and smiled.

Madeline’s broken heart was healed a little by this warm smile, but she was still bothered about what her son said just now.

After sending the two children to school, Madeline hesitated while holding the mobile phone before finally dialing Jeremy’s number.

Jeremy, who was on the other end of the phone, was accompanying Lana to meet with a so-called guest when he suddenly received a call from Madeline. He was quite surprised, but when Lana looked over, she glanced at the screen coldly before simply hanging up the call.

Seeing that her call had been disconnected, Madeline did not continue making more calls like what she used to do before just to get a response from him.

She sent a message with a decisive tone: [See you at Whitman Corporation’s office at one o’clock in the afternoon.]

When Jeremy saw the message, so did Lana.

After successfully discussing their business, Lana clung to Jeremy’s side and behaved like a spoiled child. “Jeremy, what’s the matter with Eveline? You’ve already divorced her, so why is she still bothering you? If she pesters you like this, I’ll be angry.” Lana expressed her dissatisfaction.

Jeremy lifted the corners of his lips slightly, his gaze filled with mock contempt. “She’s just a woman who I no longer want. Are you still afraid that you’ll be compared to her?”

Hearing this, Lana then looked confident in her own charm.

Looking at Jeremy, who was disdainful toward Madeline’s attitude, Lana’s gaze became even more obsessive.

It seemed that the more ruthless and cold he was, the more fascinated she became.

Madeline appeared at Whitman Corporation at one o’clock in the afternoon.

Seeing her at the front desk, the receptionist blurted out, “Madam, Mr. Whitman is waiting for you in the office.”

Madam.

Madeline found it ironic when she heard the receptionist addressing her like this, and at the same time, she felt her heart ache a bit more.

She did not have anything else to say and took the elevator up.

The place that was once so familiar suddenly became so unfamiliar, and it was this man who was even more a stranger.

Madeline entered Jeremy’s office. He was sitting at his desk. Against the sun, his black shirt added a bit of abstinence and the vibe that he was difficult to get close to. Even so, he still appeared as noble and elegant as ever.

“Mr. Whitman, the madam is here,” the lady at the front desk informed.

Jeremy, who was reading the file, looked up coolly. His handsome expression sank slightly. “Miss Montgomery and I are already divorced, so don’t address someone so simply.”

“Yes, my apologies.” The lady from the front desk glanced at Madeline in fear. “Miss Montgomery, please come in.”

Madeline listened to Jeremy’s dissatisfied correction and walked in slowly.

It was only after entering that Lana, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking coffee, looked at Madeline with a teasing look.

Madeline clenched her fists quietly, shooting an arrogant and cold gaze at Lana as she walked straight to Jeremy’s face. “I have something to tell you.”

“Then, speak,” Jeremy said indifferently.
