Chapter 1673

Jeremy could not help but briefly froze. Then, he walked toward Madeline.

“Linnie, why are you looking at me like that?” Her gaze seemed to be questioning him.

Madeline, betraying no emotion, gave a measured look at Jeremy, and suddenly smiled. “I didn’t expect my husband to act this shamelessly.”

Jeremy had thought that Madeline was questioning his earlier actions. Upon hearing this, he smiled in turn.

“Trust is off the table when dealing with the likes of her, but the information she provided is indeed useful.”

Madeline smiled and nodded in agreement, then quickly reverted to her serious look.

“Shirley and Carter knew each other, and they have an intimate relationship. That means that Shirley was just following Carter’s orders when she acted against me. Shirley used this kind of thing to keep me in check, but at the end of the day, it was all to get at you, Jeremy. I really don’t understand what they’re up to.”

Madeline’s troubled look calmed Jeremy down instead. “Maybe we’ll find the answer to this question when we return to Glendale.”

Since Shirley had made this request, he was certain that he would only get the answer after returning to Glendale.

The next day, Jeremy and Madeline finally boarded the plane back to Glendale without a hitch.

They did not return to the old manor until the evening.

As soon as she went in, a gust of familiarity rushed toward Madeline, making her feel steadier and more at ease.

Home was always the warmest no matter where one went.

Seeing their parents returned, Jackson and Lillian immediately ran over, hugging their legs. Even their youngest son, still wobbly on his feet, managed to stumble toward Madeline’s side, affectionately hugging her calf. “Mommy, mommy…” He called out in his little boy’s voice.

Madeline bent over and embraced her youngest son, kissing him again and again. “Mommy misses you too, Pudding.”

“Do you not miss me and Lily, mommy?” Jackson’s aggrieved voice came from beside her.

Madeline handed Pudding to Jeremy, squatted down, and, with a loving and gentle smile, embraced both children.

“Of course, I miss Jack and Lily too! You are mommy’s and daddy’s darlings. Come, give mommy a kiss.”

Madeline pressed her face, still smiling, close to them. Jackson and Lillian obliged and pressed their cute tiny mouths toward her and kissed Madeline on both cheeks.

“Me too.” Jeremy squatted and lifted that firm yet refined and handsome face.

Indulgingly, Jackson and Lillian eagerly ran over, planting kisses on Jeremy’s cheeks.

A warm current of emotions flowed across Madeline’s heart when she saw such a warm scene.

From the corners of her eyes, she saw Eloise sitting on the sofa staring at her.

Madeline swiftly got up and walked over, squatting down in front of Eloise. “Mom.”

As she went to hold Eloise’s hand, Eloise avoided her briefly. She gave Madeline a puzzled look, then her gaze softened.

“You’re Eveline. That Eveline.”

Upon hearing this, Madeline could tell that Eloise once again regarded herself as someone else with the same name as Eveline.

Although a little disappointed, she felt at ease seeing Eloise in good health.

“Don’t worry, your mother will be able to recall everything after a while.” Karen came over and comforted her.
