Chapter 1388
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
The womanâs thoughts started to wander while she looked fixedly at this figure.
âMommy, Mommyâ¦â
The woman came back to her senses dazedly when she heard her son calling out to her.
âMommy, home. We have to go home quickly.â
âOkay.â
The woman nodded and turned around again while holding her son.
However, after turning around, she could not help but glance in the direction where Felipe had left.
â¦
Whitman Manor.
After dinner, the whole family sat in the living room and chatted.
Madeline felt that she was swamped. Her three children and her now demented mother were all over her.
Fortunately, Jackson and Lillian were sensible and did not need her to spend a lot of effort to coax them. On the contrary, it was Eloise who needed company and comforting the most.
At this moment, her youngest son, Pudding, was also all over Madeline. He kicked his short legs and crawled onto the sofa before pestering Madeline to give him hugs and kisses.
âMommy, hug!â
The little boy blinked his lively big eyes and innocently asked for a hug.
When he was about to stretch out his hands, his small body was carried away by Jeremy.
âPudding, Daddy will hug you.â
âMommy! I want Mommy!â
The little guy stubbornly kicked his short legs and stretched his little hands in Madelineâs direction. It was as if Jeremy was a stranger to him.
Jeremy also understood this, but it was because of this that he wanted even more to have a good relationship with this little guy.
When he recalled how he also played a part in Madelineâs premature birth, he felt more tolerant toward this willful little guy and cherished him even more.
Pudding was gradually lured by Jeremy after he coaxed him with various toys and snacks.
Madeline smiled at ease and chatted with Eloise with peace of mind.
Eloise was still the same. There were no improvements to her condition. At this moment, she took Madelineâs hand and kept emphasizing, âSean said that after the house is rebuilt, my Eveline will return, but I wonât ignore you when that happens, Eveline.â
Madeline nodded and smiled. âOkay, I know.â
âItâs good that you know.â Eloiseâs expression was serious. Suddenly, she furrowed her delicate eyebrows. âHowever, will Eveline be jealous if she knows how well Iâm treating you?â
She was worried all of a sudden. Then, she turned around to look at Sean who was sitting next to her.
âSean, do you think Eveline will be mad at me when that happens?â
âNo, she wonât.â Sean comforted gently.
Eloise suddenly lowered her head while looking lonely. âYes, Eveline wonât be angry. Eveline doesnât even want to care about her mother at all.â
âEllie, stop thinking nonsense.â Sean patted her on the shoulder and looked up at Madeline. âEveline, Iâll be busy with the company and rebuilding our house for the time being. Iâm going to have to trouble you and have you take care of your mother.â
âHow is it troublesome? Sheâs my mother.â Madeline looked at the sad Eloise while her heart broke into pieces. She was feeling sadness in her heart as well.
She did not know how to get Eloise to go back to normal.
However, she suddenly thought of her symptoms at the time and an idea flashed across her mind.
Would triggering Eloise again make the negative impacts cancel out each other just like what happened to her last time?
Madeline had this idea, so she told Sean and Jeremy about it.
The next morning, they brought Eloise to the original site of Montgomery Manor that was being rebuilt.
The huge house was burned into just its frame after the fire. Madeline felt her heart aching when she looked at it.
She remembered how much pain she was in when she knew that Jeremy was the one who set the fire.
Sean suddenly thought of something at this time. He turned his head and asked Jeremy with a solemn expression, âYou seemed to have something to tell me about the fire when we were on the plane back to Glendale. What was it?â
