Chapter 1043

Jeremy looked at Lana’s back in disgust and got out of the car to catch up with her with dissatisfaction.

“How sweet!”

Lana made a mocking sound at Madeline and Ryan.

Madeline let herself go from Ryan’s embrace. When she looked up to see Lana, she also saw Jeremy who was following Lana closely.

Her tearful eyes instantly became sharp, casting a cold light.

However, Madeline did not want to waste her time and breath. She turned toward Ryan and said, “Rye, let’s go to the police station.”

“Okay.” Ryan nodded and stepped forward to take Madeline’s hand.

Madeline froze for a moment when she felt Ryan’s warm palm, but she did not let go.

Although it was under the curtains of the night, Jeremy still saw tears in Madeline’s eyes.

‘She cried.

‘Why did she cry?’

He thought carefully. Seeing Ryan leading Madeline to leave, Jeremy opened his mouth and pretended to be contemptuous by saying, “Mr. Jones, didn’t you say you’ll take good care of my ex-wife? What’s wrong, then? Is it because you’re taking care of her so thoughtfully that Miss Montgomery is happily crying in the streets?”

Both Madeline and Ryan stopped in their tracks when his voice fell.

Lana, on the other hand, looked at Madeline with interest. She also said enigmatically, “Jeremy, you have great observation skills. Miss Montgomery really has tears in her eyes. Are you happy about something?”

Lana taunted, when in fact she knew best why there were tears in Madeline’s eyes.

Madeline was sad. She was worried that something might happen to Lillian.

‘But Eveline, it’s too late to cry.

‘Your daughter has already gone to meet your parents!’

Lana thought insidiously. She still wanted to roast her when she saw Madeline suddenly smiling and looking at her.

“That’s right, I’m happy because my fiancé has just promised me that he’ll love and protect me forever.

I felt very touched, so I cried with joy.”

As she spoke, she looked at Jeremy who had his lips curved upward.

“Take care of your girlfriend. Don’t simply bark and disturb us when my fiancé and I are on a date.”

“…” Lana’s proud smiling face cracked in an instant.

She gritted her teeth and wanted to push Madeline further, but Jeremy stopped her. “Instead of wasting time, why don’t we go have a candlelight dinner?”

Lana’s face instantly brightened upon hearing this. She stuck to Jeremy’s side with a coquettish smile.

“My dear, you’re right. Instead of wasting my breath, it’s better to spend time together.”

She sneered arrogantly and wanted to say a few more words to Madeline but saw that Madeline did not even care about her. She had already followed Ryan to the car and left without looking back.

Jeremy looked at Madeline’s leaving silhouette and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Yet when Jeremy imagined the scene of her and Ryan hugging each other before, his heart felt suffocated.

He cleared his emotions and went back to Lana’s car. As soon as he sat down, he received an unfamiliar message on his phone: [Lillian Whitman is missing. The woman beside you is highly suspicious.]

Jeremy read the message calmly. While he was worried about Lillian, he suddenly realized something.

There were tears in Madeline’s eyes before not because she was crying with joy, but because she was worried about Lillian’s safety.

Jeremy deleted the message and looked at Lana who was driving. “Your mood seems to be very good today? You even said you want to take me out for a drive. Where are we going?”

Lana curled her red lips and spoke unscrupulously, “Since I saw Eveline being sad, I’m happy about it.”

Jeremy’s eyes were instantly cold upon hearing her words. “She was clearly crying happily just now, so how could she be sad?”

“Jeremy, the truth is not what you saw,” Lana said smugly before she looked at Jeremy with some concern. “Jeremy, there are some things that you’re better off not knowing. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll be sad too.”

Jeremy objected. “What could I be sad about? I don’t care about anyone except for you now.”
