Chapter 1441

It should be a voice that he liked and could make him touched, but somehow, Jeremy could not feel anything at that moment.

Jeremy got up, sensing the silhouette that was slowly approaching him. He raised his eyes and saw her in a sleeping gown that he had never seen before. The sleeping gown was very thin and very sexy.

Jeremy initially thought he would experience a surge of uncontrollable emotions within him, yet he evaded his gaze, finding it frustrating.

He had no thoughts of being gentle with Madeline, let alone having thoughts of being intimate with her.

“Linnie, you go ahead and sleep first. I still have some work to do,” Jeremy said and walked to the study desk.

The lady was dumbfounded. She soon snapped out of it and saw the outline of Jeremy’s icy-cold back.

Feeling curious, she lowered her head and glanced at her outfit.

She even purposely looked at her left breast. She had put a mole there that was exactly like the one Madeline had.

From her face till every part of her body, she had perfectly copied Madeline.

‘Jeremy loves Madeline so much, so how is it possible that he’s ignoring me?’

The woman felt curious but did not plan to just give up.

Seeing that Jeremy was about to leave the room after fetching a few documents, she quickly caught up to him and called out to him in a soft tone, “Where are you off to, Jeremy?”

Jeremy came to a halt when he reached the door of the room. “I’m heading to the study. You’re tired lately, so I don’t want to disturb you.”

“But only with you keeping me company can I sleep in peace.” The woman walked to Jeremy and put on a pitiful expression while acting coquettishly.

“Accompany me, Jeremy, alright? You know that there have been lots of things happening lately, so I’m afraid to sleep by myself. I’ll remember the time when Ryan locked me in the room and did all those horrid things to torture me mentally. He didn’t let me out and made me bleed a ton. The injuries on my body are still vaguely painful.”

Hearing this made Jeremy feel a pinch in his heart.

He thought back to when he rescued Madeline from Ryan’s place. She had been utterly terrified, and she was suffering from multiple injuries. Even though some time had passed, it still hurt whenever he recalled it.

“I won’t leave, Linnie. I’ll keep you company.”

Jeremy promised and looked at the big, watery eyes before him. He then let his guard down.

The woman noticed her strategy had succeeded and put on a victorious smile that was unnoticeable.

However, her face was still wearing a pitiful expression.

“Jeremy, I just want to be with you. Without you by my side, I’ll lose my sense of security.” She imitated the way and tone Madeline talked while revealing her weak side to Jeremy.

Jeremy was thinking about Madeline, who used to suffer grievances and sufferings because of him.

The thought of it made his heart thump with pain.

“Linnie, I won’t leave you. I’ll always stay by your side, so don’t be afraid.” Jeremy comforted softly and accompanied the lady to sit by the bedside.

The room was lit with lights that were giving off a warm tone and it was not too bright.

The face reflected in Jeremy’s eyes was meticulous and fair. Her face that looked like art was a face he could never forget.

Previously, whenever he saw Madeline, his heartbeat would start to beat at an erratic pace, especially at such a distance between them. However, at that moment, his heart was beating just normally.

‘This is weird.’

Jeremy felt that he was in a weird condition but at the same time, he could not comprehend what was going on.

“Jeremy, we’ve both been tired during this period. The poison in your body has also been acting up, so let’s go to bed early, alright?” said the woman as she stretched out her slim hand, attempting to hug Jeremy.

Seeing the woman who was inching closer, Jeremy had a feeling of rejection dwelling within him.

Just when he was about to get up, there was knocking on the door.

Knock, knock.

“Jeremy, Eveline, are you guys already asleep?” Karen’s voice was heard coming from outside.
