Chapter 1472
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
It was true. Those eyes were indeed clear and stunning.
âSo, does Mr. Whitman adores everything related to the person he loves?
âDid he seriously hire that woman because her eyes look the same as his wifeâs?â
When everyone thought about this reason, they could only admit defeat.
One was born with their looks and there were no ways to change that. Hence, they could only admit defeat and left in disappointment.
In the living room of Whitman Manor.
Madeline stood in front of the coffee table as she faced the people who were the closest to her in her life. However, at this moment, she could only pretend to be a stranger.
The woman who was impersonating her was introducing her to the family one by one, âThis is my mother-in-law and this is my mother. Thatâs my youngest son with Jeremy. No oneâs staying in this house for the time being but itâs fine. The most important task for you right now is to take care of my mother.â
After the woman finished introducing everyone, she purposely walked next to Eloise.
Madeline looked at Eloise who was still looking like she was in a daze and felt her heart aching.
Jeremy stood at one side. When he spotted Madeline frowning and her eyes dimming suddenly, he felt slightly unwell in his heart for some reason.
âYouâre Quinny, right? From this day on, youâll be responsible for taking care of my in-law. Donât worry, I wonât treat you unfairly in terms of salary.â
Karen was holding Pudding who was now learning to talk as she stood up to walk to Madeline. She stared into her eyes for a while.
âSay, your eyes do look similar to my daughter-in-lawâs, Eveline.â
After Karen said that, Jeremy and that woman shifted their gazes to Madelineâs eyes.
The woman also noticed that her eyes indeed looked the same as hers after she got the plastic surgery.
On the other hand, Jeremy was staring straight at Madelineâs lively and gorgeous eyes silently. Then, his heartbeat started to become more subtle.
âSo, is that the reason?
âIs this why I keep paying special attention to this woman?â
He asked himself but could not get an answer. Suddenly, he was curious about the face under the mask.
However, at this moment, he heard Karen asking, âQuinny, can you take off your mask? Youâll be working here now, so you donât have to feel shy.â
Madeline felt her heart getting bitter. Even so, she forced a smile. âIâm sorry, Mrs. Whitman. Since my face was badly burnt, I look hideous and also horrifying. Iâll definitely scare you all if I take off my mask.â
Madelineâs answer caused the atmosphere in the living room to plunge into a tense silence.
However, after hearing this, Jeremy felt an intense pain crashing on him.
Karen did not continue asking and did not force her as well. On the contrary, she sighed with sorrow.
âSo thatâs why. Youâre so unfortunate. Youâre so young and⦠Youâll get better. Youâll get better.â
âThank you, Mrs. Whitman.â Madeline smiled and lifted her head to look at Eloise who was also looking at her. âDonât worry, Iâll do my best in taking care of Mrs. Montgomery. I hope sheâll get better soon.â
Jeremy could clearly see the sincerity in Madelineâs eyes when she said this. There was also a subtle look of pity in her eyes as well.
This job was able to let Madeline stay in Whitman Manor, and this was exactly what she wanted.
This way, she would be able to interact with the people she loved the most and was closest to. Of course, the one thing she wanted to do the most right now was to take care of Eloise.
Karen told Madeline some things she should take note of before asking the maid to bring her to the guest room where she would be staying.
This was her home, but everything was so familiar and yet so foreign right now.
She walked to the balcony, and at the same time, she saw the maid picking up the children from school. Madeline was delighted. She wanted to see Jackson and Lillian. She wanted to hold them.
She ran toward the door of the room. However, the moment she stepped foot out the door, Jeremy appeared in front of her unexpectedly.
Madeline was unable to dodge in time, so she crashed directly into his arms.
While they were stumbling, the man wrapped his arms around Madeline. Then, a familiar and refreshing smell enveloped Madeline immediately.
