Chapter 1429

Madeline was surprised as well to see the person coming down from the car. “Shirley, why are you here as well?”

Shirley let out a friendly smile that looked almost generous. “Didn’t I say before that I’m coming back home? This is my home.”

Madeline pointed at the small villa ahead. “This is your house?”

“Yup, this is my house.” Shirley nodded confidently. Then, she walked toward Adam who was looking all serious. “Adam, your sister is back home. Why aren’t you looking happy at all?”

That piece of information made Madeline flabbergasted. “Shirley, you’re Adam’s sister?”

“That’s right, I’m Adam’s sister. I’m his biological sister with the same father and mother.” Shirley raised her hand and gently tapped on Adam’s shoulder. She let out a mystifying smile. “Adam, why don’t you introduce your friends to me?”

Adam heard the comment and let out a smile that was not obvious. “There’s no need for me to introduce you since you guys already seem to know each other.” He took two steps ahead as if he was intentionally trying to avoid Shirley. “Let’s head in and talk.”

Shirley smirked and smiled brightly. “I haven’t been home for so many years. I guess I should really admire this house that used to accompany me growing up.”

As she was saying, she spun around and entered the house first.

Adam invited Madeline and Jeremy in, “Please enter.”

Madeline nodded and held onto Jeremy’s hand. She looked at the man who was deep in thought and felt sorry for him. “Jeremy, it turns out that Shirley is Adam’s sister. They’re both doctors who even saved your life before. Are there so many coincidences in this world?”

Listening to Madeline sighing made Jeremy grasp her fingers tightly. He let out a gentle smile, saying, “We should go in too.”

He held onto Madeline’s hand and made his move. His pair of cold and deep eyes were staring at Shirley’s back.

‘I’m afraid this is no coincidence but a scheme planned by someone a long time ago.’

However, he did not blurt out his thoughts and kept them to himself. He held onto Madeline’s hand and entered the house.

Shirley was occupied with herself upon entering the house, admiring every corner of the house as if in search of the memories from when she was younger.

Madeline scanned the surroundings as well and noticed that no one aside from Adam and Shirley was in the house.

Adam observed Madeline’s expression and asked with a faint smile “Are you looking for Amy?”

“Yeah, is she not in?” Madeline asked. Her face was wearing a remorseful expression. “She really looks like someone who used to be a friend of mine. Whenever I see your fiancée, I’ll think of that friend.”

“I think you must’ve met this friend Linnie mentioned,” Jeremy added to Madeline’s speech and looked at Adam who seemed to be quiet. “Back when I was at F Country, I once asked Cathy to look for you.

You should remember her.”

“Yeah, I have a deep impression of her.” Adam calmly matched his eyes to Jeremy’s pair of deep eyes that were filled with inquiries. “Back then when I met that lady named Cathy, I was extremely shocked because she really looked like Amy, but I only met her once. Besides, she and Amy were two completely different people.”

“Amy? Who is this Amy?” Shirley entered the scene. She saw the pile of kid’s toys on the sofa in the hall. “Adam, are you married?”

Adam glanced at Shirley. “Amy is my fiancée. We already have two kids.”

“You even have two kids already? Cheeky fella.” Shirley smiled. “Then, where’s my sister-in-law? When can I meet her?”

“She brought the kids out,” Adam just casually answered. He raised his eyes and looked at Jeremy.

“Jeremy, come with me. I’ll examine you.”

“Since Adam needs to examine Jeremy, then can you accompany me to have a chat, Mrs. Whitman?”

Shirley walked toward Madeline.

However, in the next second, Jeremy suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Madeline’s. “Linnie, come accompany me. Without you by my side, I don’t feel safe.”

Madeline, feeling embarrassed, smiled gently at Shirley. “I need to accompany my husband. Have a seat for a moment, Shirley.”

“Okay.” Shirley smiled generously as if nothing mattered to her.
