Chapter 1507
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madeline followed behind Carter and started to feel nervous.
This man was still a mystery to her. In addition to that, she had no idea why he wanted to investigate Jeremy.
Now, he had said something so weird and Madeline had no clue what was going on.
After walking for a bit, Madeline followed him to the French window on the second floor.
The window was huge, so one could get a nice view here.
When Madeline looked out, she saw a familiar car parked outside the front door of the manor.
âJeremy!â
Madeline screamed out his name in her heart. However, she could only pretend to be confused on the surface.
âMr. Carter, you said youâre taking me to see the actual situation, so whatâs the actual situation?â
Carter looked at Madelineâs confused face and lifted his dark eyes. Then, his gaze landed on Jeremyâs car.
âDo you not see the car parked outside the door?â he asked, his voice sounding nonchalant. âHe followed you all the way here. Did you not notice him?â
ââ¦â Madeline shook her head. She truly had not noticed Jeremy following her.
If he really followed her all the way here, then did he know about her going to Adamâs place?
âYou said he let you down back then and even married another woman named Eveline Montgomery, so you want to get revenge on him. However, I can see that heâs pretty concerned about you.â
ââ¦â
âHe gave you an umbrella when he saw you in the rain. When you were in danger and almost got suffocated by the thug, he ran over to save you. Now, he secretly followed you to protect you.â
Carter said, looking at Madeline with interest.
âI think he cares about you and didnât play with your feelings like you said.â
After he said that, Madeline quickly reorganized her thoughts in her head. Then, she asked calmly and decisively, âDo you think this is protection and concern, Mr. Carter? I donât think so.â
âHmm?â
âHe might already know who I am, so heâs only probing me.â Madeline purposely sighed in annoyance.
She furrowed her eyebrows together. âI donât think Iâm able to carry out my revenge plan now.â
She said and looked at Carter as if she was asking for help.
âMr. Carter, can you help me?â
Carter looked at Madelineâs pure and innocent eyes. Then, the suspicions in his heart started disappearing for some reason.
âIf youâre fine, you should go back to Whitman Manor.â
âWill he stop me if I go out now? What if he asks me why Iâm in such a beautiful manor? What should I tell him?â
Madeline pretended to look worried.
Carter placed his hands in his pockets and looked at Madeline as if he was in deep thought. Then, he said to the entourage next to him, âInvite him inside.â
ââ¦â When Madeline heard this, she was stunned. âIs this man seriously inviting Jeremy inside?â
âMr. Carter, I donât think this is a good idea.â Madeline stopped him immediately. âWhy donât I leave?â
Carter stopped walking, and when he turned around to look at Madeline, she had already walked past him hurriedly.
Madeline followed behind Carter and started to feel nervous.
