Chapter 1554

“Then, does this mean you’ve already known that the one by your side is a fake?”

“Of course,” Jeremy replied without hesitation. “No other woman can give me the feeling you give me, even if that woman looks exactly like you, Linnie.”

Madeline felt as if her heart was filled with honey all of a sudden.

When she let go of her arms and wanted to ask for details, Jeremy kissed her lips.

Madeline was stunned for a moment. When she wanted to close her eyes and kiss back, she felt someone pulling her pants.

“Mommy.”

“…”

Madeline’s cheeks turned burning red instantly.

She almost forgot that there was a little guy beside her.

Jeremy also heard Pudding calling out to his mother, so he could only let go of his embrace.

Madeline blushed and picked up the little boy who was now full. She gently wiped his cute mouth.

“Are our parents not here because you got them out of the house?” Madeline asked in confusion.

Jeremy pursed his lips and smiled. “I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable. I thought it’d be more appropriate for us to talk about this when it’s just the two of us.”

“Where’s Naomi? You probably already know that the woman posing as me is Naomi, right?”

“Yeah.” Jeremy nodded. “I went to Y Country to investigate this incident. It turned out that Ryan had arranged for her to undergo plastic surgery. Ryan must’ve planned a lot of things at that time, but they were all forced to a halt now.”

“Ryan…”

Madeline would still inevitably feel emotionally moved when she heard this name.

Perceiving the change in Madeline’s mood, Jeremy held her hand. “Linnie, did Ryan have anything to do with why your face got hurt?”

Madeline met the man’s caring gaze and immediately told Jeremy about what had happened before.

What Jeremy did not expect was that Ryan would sneak out of jail every day through some illegal means. He even trapped Madeline on a small island that no one cared about.

However, no matter how much dissatisfaction and resentment he felt right now, all of it disappeared.

Ryan was dead.

He did not want to quibble about something with someone who had disappeared from this world.

“Actually, Ryan was not too far gone, but he was prejudiced in this matter.” Madeline sighed and stopped thinking about it.

“Because of that, you suffered so much. As such, he still can’t be absolved from his guilt.” Jeremy frowned, but soon, he unfurrowed his eyebrows again. “He paid the most painful price. Maybe this is just karma.”

As Jeremy spoke, the look in his eyes when he looked at Madeline became more doting. “Linnie, it’s really great that your face has recovered. I was so afraid that you wouldn’t dare to face me if your face never recovered.”

“I didn’t even dare to face myself with my previous face, let alone face you.” Madeline smiled and sighed. “I really appreciate Adam for what he has done. He’s amazing.”

“He is, indeed. The poison in my body hasn’t been acting up in the past month or so.” Jeremy was also thankful for Adam and glad that his body was not suffering from any problems anymore.

Madeline was relieved when she heard that, but looking at the color of Jeremy’s hair and his pupils, it seemed that there were no obvious changes.

“Linnie, who is the man pretending to be your lover? He’s not an ordinary person, is he?” Jeremy asked the question in his heart. When he first saw Carter, he felt that something was wrong.

Although Carter had deliberately dressed plainly and simply at that time, his temperament came from within and could be seen from the outside. Some things could not be concealed even if he wanted to.

“Have you looked into him?” Madeline was also very curious about Carter’s background. “He saved me when the yacht exploded. However, he’s very mysterious. I’ve been in contact with him for a while, but I still don’t know his background.”

“Linnie, don’t go back to him. I keep having a feeling that this person is problematic.”

“No, I want to go back to him.” Madeline’s attitude was very firm.

Jeremy was puzzled and inexplicably anxious. “Why go back? Could it be that after getting along with him these days, plus the fact that he saved you and took care of you, you’ve…”
