Chapter 1543
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
In the past, Madeline felt that Jeremyâs eyes seemed to make her feel as if she was being seen through, but at this moment, Carterâs gaze also gave her this feeling.
âYou know what Iâve figured out, Mr. Carter?â Madeline asked with a puzzled smile.
Carter smiled without saying a word. His gaze moved closer to Madeline, and the slight smile on his lips looked very intriguing.
âYou want to tell me that youâve figured it out and you donât want to fall in love with that Jeremy like a fool anymore. You donât even want to go back to Whitman Manor and you want to stay by my side, no?â
ââ¦â
Madeline was stunned. She had indeed wanted to tell him this lie, but she never thought that Carter could see through her at a glance.
Seeing Madeline looking at him blankly, the smile on Carterâs lips became deeper.
âWhat a coincidence. I think so too. If you donât want to go back, you can stay by my side in the future.â
His tone softened a lot. âIâm going out now. Do you want to come with me?â
Carterâs tone suddenly rose by a few decibels. Madeline felt something pulling at her nerves, and her distracted thoughts were suddenly pulled back.
She nodded hurriedly. âYes.â
She wanted to follow him. She had to figure out Carterâs purpose for investigating Jeremyâs whereabouts, so she needed to follow him.
Seeing Madelineâs reaction, Carter just smiled and followed suit.
When he went downstairs, Madeline saw Ada and Camille sitting in the living room. Camille looked slightly better, but Adaâs face was very gloomy.
Ada clenched her teeth secretly after seeing Madeline walking with Carter.
She was not convinced!
She could not get over this no matter how she thought about it.
After seeing Carter going out with Madeline, Ada got up and sat beside Camille.
âAunty Cammy, this womanâs face is fake. Maybe her name is also fake, and her feelings for Carty may not be true. What a hypocritical woman. If you continue to let her stay with Carty, Carty will definitely suffer a loss!â
Ada looked like she was not exaggerating this at all.
âAunty Cammy, Iâm telling the truth. If she doesnât have feelings for Carty, then she must be here for Cartyâs status and money. You canât let such a snobbish woman continue to rely on Cartyâs love so arrogantly and make life difficult for you.â
After listening to Adaâs words in silence, Camille spoke after a while.
âSheâs not making my life difficult, but if she dares to play with Carterâs feelings, Iâll make her pay a heavy price.â
This made Ada a little dissatisfied. âAunty Cammy, youâre sayingââ
âNeither you nor I can change Carterâs decision. Right now, I can only decide as things progress. If this Eveline pulls anything, Iâll teach her a lesson when that happens.â
ââ¦â
âWhen that happens? When will that be?â
She still had to wait for Eveline to pull something?
Ada had no patience to wait until that day came.
After thinking about it, she picked up the phone and turned to the internet news she found not long ago.
Ada raised the corners of her red lips as she looked at Madeline who was standing with Jeremy in the photo.
âGot it.â
â¦
The sky had gradually darkened.
Madeline was sitting in Carterâs private car while she looked at the rapidly changing scene outside the car window. At this moment, she was feeling very nervous.
After pondering for a while, Madeline turned her head to look at Carter who was sitting by the other side of the window. He was reading a book, and Madeline could not help asking.
âMr. Carter, where are we going now?â
Carter continued to flip the book in his hand. At the same time, he parted his lips slightly. âIâm taking you to see the person youâre thinking about in your heart right now.â
