Chapter 1516

Naomi clutched her face. When she saw the sharp and piercing cold glint in Madeline’s eyes, she was shocked.

After Madeline warned her, she pushed Naomi away to go downstairs.

Naomi was bitter about the unbearable grievances. When Madeline was not paying attention, she suddenly stuck her foot out to trip Madeline.

However, it was as if Madeline was prepared. When Naomi stuck her foot out, she retracted her foot and at the same time, she grabbed Naomi.

Naomi did not expect Madeline’s reflexes to be so quick. She was caught off guard after she was pulled and missed her footing before falling down the stairs. With a loud and muffled thud, she rolled down the stairs.

“Ah!”

Naomi then rolled all the way to the first floor while accompanied by her pained screams.

When Jeremy saw this after he walked through the door, he stood motionless in surprise. However, he did not go over to help Naomi up even after a long while.

Karen was in the living room, completely stunned when she saw this. She quickly placed Pudding down and ran over to Naomi.

“Eveline, are you okay? How did you fall from the stairs?”

Karen asked in concern and quickly helped Naomi up.

Naomi clutched her waist and glared resentfully at Madeline from the corner of her eyes. However, she could only get angry without making any complaints.

It did not seem like something Madeline would do if she told on her.

However, after what happened last time, she did not know whether Madeline would have something else to get back at her again.

She did not want to make a fool of herself in front of Jeremy and the Whitmans again.

“Eveline, where did you hurt yourself? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Karen looked all over Naomi and was worried that Naomi might have gotten herself hurt.

Naomi was indeed in a lot of pain, especially her waist. However, she could only endure it.

“Mom, I’m fine. Don’t worry, I’m just too worried about Lily and want to comfort her, so that’s why I was in a hurry,” Naomi explained and packaged herself as a good mother.

Now, Karen was even more heartbroken. When she spotted Jeremy walking over from the door, she called out hurriedly, “Jeremy, it’s good that you’re back. Eveline fell from the stairs. Come quickly to comfort your wife.”

However, Jeremy looked indifferent when he heard this. “I heard. It’s good that she’s fine.”

He said flatly and looked at Madeline who was making her way downstairs. Then, he looked at Lillian who was sitting silently on the sofa.

“Lily, why did you cry? Do you miss Daddy?” Jeremy hurried over to ask Lillian.

Lillian lifted her eyes that looked as beautiful as the stars. She glanced at Naomi before burying her face into Jeremy’s chest like a scared deer.

“Daddy.”

The little princess called out to Jeremy childishly.

Jeremy felt his heart melting at that instant. He picked up Lillian and ignored his youngest son before going upstairs.

Madeline was on her way downstairs when she saw Jeremy walking over with Lillian. She had a strong urge to hold the child and comfort her. At the same time, she wanted to know where Naomi hurt Lillian.

However, she did not have a reason to hold Lillian.

At the same time, Lillian, who was in Jeremy’s arms, lifted her head to look at Madeline.

When her eyes met Lillian’s teary eyes that were full of grievances, Madeline felt her heart aching even more.

‘Lily.’

“Mommy,” Lillian called out to Madeline.

Jeremy stopped in his tracks. Madeline also looked absent-mindedly at Lillian who was reaching out her hands for her to hold her.

Her teary eyes were staring straight at Madeline.

“Mommy.”
