Chapter 1437

Jeremy raised his eyes and looked over. His deep peach blossom eyes reflected the image of that bright smile and the little face that looked as pretty as an artwork.

“Didn’t you say that there’s a lot of stuff at work waiting for you to settle and you’ll be back home late?

Why are you home already?” Madeline held the shopping bag that was filled with food. She changed her shoes and walked to him. “If I knew you’d be back early, I wouldn’t have gone to the mall. I might as well have asked you to go fetch the items for me.”

Jeremy saw the lady before him slowly approaching him and was absent-minded for a moment before putting on a gentle smile.

“You could always send the servants out to buy these things. You’re the madam of the Whitman family.

You don’t have to personally do all this trivial stuff.”

“How could I? I want to personally put in the effort for the kids,” said Madeline as she smiled and looked at Eloise and Karen. “Mom, I’ll be heading to the kitchen. In a while, everyone will have cake to eat.”

“Alright.” Karen nodded. These days, she was always delighted when she saw Madeline. Before this, she used to be dissatisfied with Madeline and would also reject her. Currently, she was very satisfied.

Eloise seemed calm when she saw Madeline’s smiling face.

“Sweethearts, I’m going to bake a cake for you all to eat.” Madeline bent down and touched Jackson’s head. Then, she spun around, but before she could take a step, she turned back again. “Jeremy, why don’t we make it together?”

“I had the same thought as well.” Jeremy turned to look at Jackson and stretched his hand out to Lillian. “Lillian, come follow us.”

Lillian extended her fair, little arm and placed it in Jeremy’s palm. However, her big eyes were gleaming with curiosity as she looked at Madeline.

Madeline smiled gently and offered her hand to Jackson. “Come on, Jack. Follow me.”

Jackson saw Madeline who was smiling in front of him and stretched out his hand hesitantly. “Where’s the purple crystal necklace, Mommy? Mommy, you weren’t wearing this skirt either when you went out.”

When Jeremy heard his son’s comment, his pair of deep eyes looked at the lady before him.

“Purple crystal necklace?”

“It’s a necklace that me, Lillian, and Pudding made together for Mommy,” Jackson explained, “Just now, Lillian even personally put it on for Mommy.”

Madeline touched her neck after hearing it, then let out an astonished expression. “Oh my, the purple crystal necklace really is gone. I must’ve accidentally lost it when I was at the parking lot.”

“Linnie, did you fall?” Jeremy frowned. He was suddenly not concerned about anything else but whether Madeline had injured herself.

“It’s nothing, Jeremy. I’m fine. It’s just that my clothes were soiled, so I went to the nearest mall to buy a new skirt to change into,” said Madeline as she looked at Jackson, “Jack really has great observation skills. I’m really sorry, I really didn’t mean to lose the gift you guys gave me.”

She put on an aggrieved look. Her delicate facial features on that perfect face just made anyone touched whenever they saw her like this.

However, Jeremy could not help but feel that something was off when he saw the smiling face before him.

The five of them entered the kitchen, then Madeline started baking like she really knew the steps.

While preparing for the ingredients, Jeremy glanced at Madeline’s left hand and noticed her empty ring finger.

He went over and subconsciously, he grabbed Madeline’s left wrist.

Perhaps she did not expect Jeremy’s sudden action. Madeline got a shock and trembled. She raised her big, innocent eyes and questioned, “What’s wrong, Jeremy?”

“Where’s the ring? The wedding ring that I personally put on for you. Why did you take it off?”

Hearing Jeremy’s comment made Madeline flabbergasted as she looked at her ring finger. “Where’s my ring?! Damn it, did I lose it as well?!”

Madeline looked anxious and quickly bent down to search for it.

Jeremy released his hand and stared at his palm that was hovering in mid-air, frowning his pretty brows.

“Damn it, the ring is really gone!” Madeline was so anxious that her eyes reddened. “What should I do, Jeremy? I lost our wedding ring.”
