Chapter 1593

After hearing what Camille said, Carter continued to flip through the book in his hand slowly.

He understood Camille’s concerns, but he had his own plans.

“I know what’s her purpose, so don’t worry. Everything’s in my control.” Carter’s tone was irreverent.

However, the assurance in his voice sounded pretty confident.

After Madeline went back to her room to wash up, she went downstairs.

When she saw Carter and Camille in the living room, she walked toward Carter naturally and smiled before greeting Camille.

“Hello, Aunty Cammy.”

“…” Camille did not expect Madeline to greet her like this.

After that night, she had a pretty good impression of Madeline. However, when she remembered Madeline and Jeremy’s relationship, she felt a headache coming again.

She did not ask too much. Instead, she smiled and walked away.

Carter placed the book in his hand down and walked over to Madeline. A warm smile appeared on his handsome face. “Do you feel better after the nap? Do you want me to take a walk with you?”

Madeline looked at Carter, and a sweet glint appeared in her eyes. “Okay.”

“Okay.” Carter nodded and reached out to hold Madeline’s hand. However, halfway there, he retracted his hand.

When they got to the car, he gentlemanly opened the door for Madeline before getting in himself…

Jeremy was waiting for Madeline to come home. However, after a long while and after calling her until his phone ran out of battery, Madeline had yet to come back. This entire time, her phone was shut off.

While watching the time pass, Jeremy started to feel more and more anxious.

“Linnie, where are you?”

Jeremy could not sit here and wait. As such, he decided to go to Carter’s place again.

However, when he got there, he was told that Carter had gone out.

Jeremy knew he could not know more about Madeline’s situation since Carter was not home. As such, he could only leave.

He tried to find some clues about Madeline along the road going back to Whitman Manor, but he got nothing.

Madeline still had not appeared in his vision even when the sky was dark.

Everyone in the family including Jackson and Lillian started to worry.

They had waited until their mother finally came home after a very long time, but after less than a day together, their mother had disappeared again. This disappointment overwhelmed their little hearts.

Karen and Sean felt the same way. “Did anything happen to Eveline? How is it possible for her to not come home after so long?”

“Did Carter really ask someone to send her home?”

“I’ll go to his place again,” Jeremy said while getting up. He drove his car to the gates of Carter’s manor.

Carter was having dinner in the dining room at this hour. When he heard the butler telling him that Jeremy was here, he looked at Madeline who was eating next to him before dispatching the butler to make Jeremy leave. “Tell him I’m busy and don’t have time to entertain him.”

The butler received Carter’s orders and went to tell Jeremy, “Mr. Whitman, Mr. Carter is busy. Please come again on another day.”

Jeremy kept his last ounce of cool. “I have some urgent business, so I have to see Mr. Gray now.”

“However, Mr. Carter is—”

“I’m sorry.” Jeremy ignored the butler’s perfunctory words and barged inside.

“Mr. Whitman! Mr. Whitman…” The butler went up to stop him but Jeremy had already barged through the front door.

Carter heard the voices from outside and could guess what was going on.

However, he was not frenetic or worried. On the contrary, he continued his meal calmly.

After Jeremy barged in, he saw the people in the dining room and walked straight over. “Mr. Gray, you said you asked someone to send my wife home, but… Linnie?”

Jeremy’s words stopped as abruptly as his footsteps near the dining table.

He looked at Madeline who was having dinner with Carter at the dining table and strode over to her.

“Linnie, you’re still here.”
