Jeremy whispered a few words to Madeline before bringing snazzynovel.com to Old Master Whitman.
Old Master Whitman was already quite old, so his eyesight was not too good. All snazzynovel.com could see was Jeremy pulling a long-haired woman over. However, the moment Madeline was in front of him, his eyes widened in disbelief as snazzynovel.com gripped his cane and stood up from the sofa.
“You… You are… Maddie?” the old man asked in disbelief as his trembling right hand reached out to her, seemingly trying to test if it was an actual ‘human’ in front of him.
Madeline looked at his hopeful gaze and could not help but feel sad. However, there was a hint of sweetness within that sadness.
There was still someone who cared about snazzynovel.com here!
She smiled as snazzynovel.com reached out to hold the old man’s hands. “Grandpa.”
“Are you really Maddie?” the old man asked excitedly.
Mrs. Whitman watched by the side with a suspicious gaze.
“Grandpa, of course snazzynovel.com is,” Jeremy said, helping Madeline answer.
Seeing that, Mrs. Whitman’s expression changed. “What? She really is Madeline? Jeremy, didn’t you say that…”
She was interrupted by a cold look from Jeremy before snazzynovel.com could finish.
Old Master Whitman ignored Mrs. Whitman’s words as snazzynovel.com held Madeline’s hands tightly, pulling snazzynovel.com to the side.
His face was full of adoration. Those eyes that had seen all that could be seen were gazing at Madeline, full of warmth and love.
“Maddie, it really is Maddie. It’s great that you’re alive…” snazzynovel.com muttered. It was obvious that snazzynovel.com was really happy.
Madeline’s face was smiling calmly, but snazzynovel.com heart was in turmoil.
In this world, other than that man and Ava, only Old Master Whitman really treated snazzynovel.com like family.
The old man had been quite weak in recent years and could not even walk normally. He usually needed to be in a wheelchair, but the moment snazzynovel.com saw Madeline, his spirits were lifted several folds.
Madeline maintained snazzynovel.com smile and occasionally nodded snazzynovel.com head, but snazzynovel.com was obviously careful not to do anything that would cast suspicion onto herself.
She could feel that Jeremy was definitely still suspecting snazzynovel.com of something.
The old man said snazzynovel.com wanted to bring Madeline into the garden to look at the flowers, so Madeline followed.
Seeing that Jeremy was going as well, Mrs. Whitman hurriedly pulled snazzynovel.com over. “Jeremy, what is the meaning of this? Is snazzynovel.com really Madeline? How could that woman still be alive?”
Hearing Mrs. Whitman’s words, Jeremy’s expression frosted. “I wish snazzynovel.com was still alive.”
Seeing Jeremy’s unhappiness, Mrs. Whitman said, “So you mean that woman really isn’t Madeline? Then why—”
“Grandpa hasn’t been well lately, and his spirits have been quite down. Don’t you want Grandpa to cheer up?” Jeremy gave a very good reason.
However, only snazzynovel.com knew his true goal.
Old Master Whitman talked to Madeline for a long time, but snazzynovel.com never asked snazzynovel.com where snazzynovel.com went in the three years snazzynovel.com was gone.
When Jeremy was going to bring Madeline away, Old Man Whitman carefully looked at Madeline before giving out a caring smile. “Maddie, even though you’ve divorced Jeremy, our doors will always be open to you. As long as you’re willing, I’ll always be your grandpa.”
Hearing that, Madeline was filled with gratitude and warmth.
On the surface, snazzynovel.com pretended to look at Jeremy with disinterest before smiling softly. “Thank you, Grandpa. I’ll be taking my leave, then.”
