Chapter 810
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
The numbing pain her heart spread throughout her body again, and Madeline looked up to force her tears back.
She could not cry again.
She had to be strong for the child.
â¦
After Madeline visited Lenâs grave, she was sent to Felipeâs villa.
Felipe was in a video conference in the study when he learned that Madeline was back. When he found out, he ended the conference early.
When he saw that Madelineâs jacket was a little damp from the rain, he was a little concerned. âDidnât you use the umbrella? Why have you gotten yourself all wet?â
âIt was just a tiny drizzle. It wonât hurt me.â She was cold and walked past Felipe as she went upstairs.
Felipe had gotten used to Madelineâs attitude. âYouâre pregnant now. Getting wet in the rain will make you sick.â
âGetting wet in the rain.â
Madeline looked down at the umbrella in her hand.
Jeremy had given the umbrella to her in the cemetery not long ago, but his residual warmth on the umbrella handle had long dissipated.
âI assume you miss Old Master Whitman too, right? Letâs pay him a visit tonight.â
Madeline paused as she walked upstairs. âOkay.â
She had no choice but to agree.
In the evening, Felipe asked the servants to send her clothes and jewelry which were all limited edition luxury items.
Madeline wore them just like Felipe wanted and also drilled a small hole in the colorful shell that Jeremy gave her back, stringing it into a necklace that hit her clavicle when she wore it.
Although the color of the seashell had faded, it still looked very beautiful.
Madeline looked in the mirror, put on the necklace around her neck, and hid it underneath her collar before going downstairs.
It was still raining, and Felipe was already waiting for her in the car. When he saw that Madeline was wearing all the clothes he had chosen for her, he smiled and was very satisfied. âEveline, youâre really beautiful. I believe that the baby in your womb will also grow up to be as beautiful as you.â
âOf course, the child will grow up to be beautiful. Itâs because the child is Jeremyâs and he has excellent genes,â Madeline retorted silently in her heart.
Felipe did not care about Madelineâs indifference toward him and ordered the driver to start the car.
When the sun was setting and the sky was getting darker, they arrived at Whitman Manor.
Just when Madeline got out of the car, she saw another luxury car stopping beside theirs and out came Jeremy from it.
Without looking at Madeline, he walked to the passenger seat and opened the door with an umbrella over it.
The woman named Yvette got out of the car and held Jeremyâs hand with a sweet smile. When she saw Madeline and Felipe, she looked surprised. âMr. Whitman and Mrs. Whitman? Why are you guys here? â
Felipe looked at Yvette as an unexplainable complex feeling surged in his heart.
However, he looked calm on the outside and naturally placed his hand on Madelineâs shoulder. âI brought my wife to meet Old Master Whitman, our elder in the Whitman family. This isââ
âYvette Charis. Sheâs Mr. Whitmanâs girlfriend,â Madeline introduced.
Jeremy smiled. âMrs. Whitman, youâre mistaken. Sheâs not just my girlfriend. Sheâs been my fiancée for quite a while.â
âHis fiancée for quite a while.â
Jeremyâs answer made another cut in Madelineâs heart.
She pretended not to care and smiled slightly. âCongratulations. Letâs go in, Felipe.â
Felipe did not turn around but looked at Yvette with a sweet smile. âMs. Charis, have I seen you somewhere before?â
