Chapter 1525
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âWhat?â
Madeline widened her crystal clear eyes, and for a moment, she could not understand what Jeremy just said.
However, while she was feeling confused, Jeremy suddenly grabbed her face. Through the thin layer of her mask, he leaned down and pressed his lips against Madelineâs features.
ââ¦â
Madeline widened her eyes in shock. She had no words to describe how she was feeling now.
âJeremy, whatâs wrong with you?â
Madeline thought she was pretty quick-witted, but at this moment, she could not see through Jeremy at all.
When she came back to her senses to push Jeremy away, she could feel his fingers landing on her ear.
He wanted to take off her mask.
Madeline lifted her hand abruptly and grabbed his hand.
âJeremy Whitman.â
She was calling him by his full name.
Jeremy lifted his alluring eyes and looked into Madelineâs infuriated ones.
âMr. Whitman, donât forget that youâre someone with a family,â Madeline reminded him.
âOf course, I know that.â Jeremy smirked, his expression still looking nonchalant and indifferent.
Madeline was even more confused now. âSince you know that, why do you want to have this relationship with me? Do you think youâre treating the woman you love fairly by doing this?â
She asked this, feeling offended. However, after she asked this, Madeline felt conflicted as well.
She was the person in his heart and also the person he was facing right now.
However, Jeremy had no idea about this. How could he flirt with her when he had no idea this was her?
Amidst the silence, Jeremy parted his lips slowly. âOf course, itâs because of a feeling.â
âFeeling?â
âYeah.â
Jeremy answered lazily, his alluring eyes staring straight at Madeline.
âMy feelings right now are telling me to get close to you. Donât you feel the same too?â
ââ¦â
Madeline was speechless.
Jeremy lifted his good-looking eyebrows helplessly when he saw Madeline stunned.
âOf course, if you donât have feelings for me and you were only lost and delirious last night, then you can pretend that nothing ever happened. You can reject me, but I wonât treat it like it never happened and I wonât let go of this feeling Iâm feeling right now too.â
ââ¦â
Madeline could feel overbearingness and tyranny in his words.
When she had no idea how to reply to this man, his phone rang.
He picked up the phone on his desk while he was at it, and his charming eyes were looking into Madelineâs eyes this entire time.
Madeline could feel her heart beating erratically, and she averted her gaze quickly. Then, she walked to the bar and pretended to busy herself making coffee.
âSo whatâs going on now?
âShould I say yes to becoming his mistress?
âIf I do that, wonât I be cheating on myself?â
However, if she did not agree, he would keep on pestering her, though?
âJeremy, at the end of the day, youâre still trying to betray me by doing this, right?â
The more Madeline thought about this, the more she felt like her brain was going to explode.
When she was still thinking about this while feeling agitated, she felt a pair of arms around her waist all of a sudden. Then, a familiar warm wall of flesh was pressed up against her back. Jeremyâs deep and alluring voice sounded next to her ear.
âMiss Quinny, you feel exactly like my wife when I hold her.â
ââ¦â
Madelineâs heart was racing as she tightened her grip on the cup of coffee.
