Chapter 812

“What? You’re pregnant?” Karen looked at Madeline in amazement as her gaze gradually turned contemptuous. “Wow, Miss Montgomery, you really are amazing. After your baby is born, I wonder how I should call it.”

“It doesn’t matter what you call it. I’m the mother and I’ll teach it. It has nothing to do with you.”

Madeline was calm.

Karen sneered and chuckled. “Eveline, you really are—”

“Eat your dinner,” Jeremy interrupted in a cold voice and looked at Madeline. “Since you’re now pregnant, Aunty Eveline, please take care of your body,” he said and placed a piece of ribs on her plate. “I remember you used to like eating this.”

“Thank you, Mr. Whitman, but I don’t like it anymore. You should give it to your fiancée. You don’t need to worry about me.”

Madeline stayed indifferent toward him until the very end and did not touch the food that Jeremy took for her. She only turned to smile at Felipe.

When Old Master Whitman watched that scene, his frown grew deeper.

After the meal, Felipe stood outside the door and was on the phone while Jeremy and Yvette sat on the sofa, flipping through a wedding magazine. They seemed to be discussing their wedding.

Madeline did not want to see Jeremy being loving with another woman, so when Old Master Whitman asked her to go to the study, she went upstairs immediately.

The study.

Old Master Whitman put on his reading glasses, picked up the photo on the desk, and sighed regretfully.

“After so many years, I still thought that Jeremy and you would have a happy ending like they did in the past. Little did I know, the two of you are still separated after all these years.”

Madeline felt as if her heart was being stabbed. She walked closer and saw the photo.

“Is this Grandpa Len?” Madeline recognized Len in the photo.

Old Master Whitman nodded. “I took Jeremy to April Hill for a holiday and met my old comrade there.

At that time, he had a little girl with him and that girl was you. This photo was taken at that time. We didn’t realize that Jeremy and you were also in the photo.”

Madeline looked at herself and Jeremy in the photo. In retrospect, time flew really fast, but now…

She lowered her eyes, the light in her gaze dimming. Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a fuzzy figure in the upper left corner of the photo.

‘Is this boy Felipe?’

Madeline took a closer look and found that not far behind Felipe, there was a little girl with pigtail braids walking happily toward him.

Knock, knock.

Someone knocked on the study door.

Before Madeline had more time to observe the photo carefully, Jeremy opened the door and went in.

“Grandpa, it’s time to take your medicine.”

Madeline glanced at Jeremy and put down the picture frame. “Grandpa, let me help you downstairs for your medicine.”

“I can go by myself.” Old Master Whitman refused, as if deliberately trying to leave space for Jeremy and Madeline. He walked toward the door alone with his cane.

However, Felipe was still downstairs and it was risky for her to be alone with Jeremy.

Madeline decided to leave. She started to walk toward the door, but when she passed Jeremy, the man suddenly took her arm and closed the study door decisively with his other hand.

“Let go of me,” Madeline said in a harsh tone.

Jeremy’s deep eyes looked down at Madeline’s beautiful face. “What if I don’t?”

“Jeremy, you…”

Madeline glared at him and tried to break free, but the man suddenly pulled with his strength and drew her near him.

His round eyes were very close to her, and his warm breath that enveloped her carried traces of red wine.

“Jeremy, don’t mess around!”
