Chapter 1329
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Sean was stunned for a moment before chuckling coldly.
âAre you saying that Lana used you? Hmph, that doesnât take away the fact that you started the fire!
Did you forget how obedient you were to Lana? You wouldnât even glance at Eveline!â Sean was mad.
At the end of the day, Sean could not forgive Jeremy for his coldness and indifference to Madeline back then.
âEveline thought you were dead and cried every night. As her father, I know it full well!
âShe labored to carry a child for you, but what did you do? Didnât your heart ache when you let that crazy woman make Eveline so mad that she went into early labor and gave birth to Pudding unassisted?â
Jeremy furrowed his long eyebrows slightly. âHow could I not be heartbroken?â
When he saw her bleeding and suffering, he realized how important she was to him.
It was just that he was blinded by the memories Lana had been feeding him.
âJeremy, ask yourself how much Eveline loves and cares about you. You said youâd spend the rest of your life trying to make up for the things you didnât do for Eveline. Now, look what she has become.â
A heavy melancholy filled Seanâs eyes as he spoke.
He did not want to criticize Jeremy anymore because he knew Madelineâs feelings for him were still intense.
âI donât want to go after you for setting fire to Montgomery Manor. Jeremy, Iâm not going to trust my daughter to you anymore if you canât protect her!â
Sean did not seem to be in the mood to know the truth behind the arson.
Jeremy stopped talking about anything else. He just promised Sean, âDad, Iâm not going to let Linnie get hurt again.â
âIâll take your word for the time being,â he replied disapprovingly as if he had lost faith in Jeremy.
Jeremy could understand what Sean was feeling, so he did not mind his attitude.
Hours later, the plane landed at Glendale Airport.
Madeline woke up from her slumber. She looked around in confusion and found herself in another city.
She walked over to Jeremy and gently approached him. âIs this Glendale?â
Jeremy nodded and realized that Madeline still remembered some things. She might only be confused about some people and things.
Jeremy took Madelineâs hand and answered confidently, âYes, this is Glendale, our hometown. Linnie, Iâm taking you home.â
Madeline stopped in her tracks when she heard this. âDidnât you say you were taking me to Jeremy?â
Jeremy looked at Madeline gently with a romantic tint in his gaze. âYes, Iâm taking you to the man you love the most.â
He promised her, and after bidding Sean goodbye, Jeremy took Madeline back to Whitman Manor.
Old Master Whitman immediately left his room after learning that Jeremy was back with Madeline.
âJeremy, you guys are back!â Old Master Whitman seemed worried. After learning about what Ryan did and Madelineâs current situation, he felt the need to tell Jeremy about the hidden past.
Jeremy learned why Ryan hated the Whitman family so much afterward.
When Karen came home after picking up Jackson and Lillian from school, she found that Jeremy was back with Madeline. The kids excitedly ran over to her.
âMom! Youâre finally back! I missed you so much.â Jackson ran up to Madeline and hugged her thigh to tell her how much he missed her.
Lillian ran to Madelineâs other side and grabbed her leg too.
Madeline pulled Jeremyâs hand with a confused look on her face. âWho are they? Why did this little boy call me his mom?â
