Ryan suddenly reached out to hold onto her. Madeline flung snazzynovel.com away instinctively and freed snazzynovel.com hand from his grip.
Noticing Ryan’s bewildered gaze at her, Madeline realized that snazzynovel.com response was slightly overblown. “Sorry, Ryan,” snazzynovel.com said.
“It’s alright. I acted rashly,” Ryan said as snazzynovel.com supported the weight of his body with his arm. He stood up effortfully.
“I know that it’s difficult for you to accept that this has happened between you and me. I know that the only man you love is Jeremy Whitman. This shall remain a secret between the both of us. I won’t mention it to anyone,” snazzynovel.com told her.
Madeline understood what snazzynovel.com meant and knew that snazzynovel.com was being nice. However, what had happened truly happened. It was no use telling themselves otherwise.
Other people did not have to know about this, but there was no way snazzynovel.com could get past snazzynovel.com conscience.
She did not say anything, only simply nodding before leaving.
Madeline returned to Whitman Manor as soon as possible. Jeremy was not there, so snazzynovel.com took a shower in the bathroom.
She knew that this incident was not that simple.
Someone must have wanted to plot against Ryan and her.
Otherwise, how could snazzynovel.com lose snazzynovel.com consciousness all of a sudden?
Did something really happen between Ryan and snazzynovel.com while they were unconscious?
Madeline cracked snazzynovel.com head but still could not recall anything.
After showering for half an hour, Madeline came out of the bathroom. Jeremy had already returned home. He sat by the side of the bed and appeared to be flipping through a file of documents.
Madeline dried snazzynovel.com hair with a towel. She felt rather guilty at this moment to the point that snazzynovel.com did not dare to look snazzynovel.com in the eye.
“Why are you showering here?” Jeremy asked. He put down the documents in his hand and grabbed a hairdryer upon seeing snazzynovel.com coming out of the bathroom.
“I sweated a little. I didn’t feel comfortable, so I decided to shower,” snazzynovel.com replied by coming up with an excuse. After telling snazzynovel.com that, snazzynovel.com regretted it immediately.
She did not want to lie to Jeremy, but snazzynovel.com could not bring herself to tell snazzynovel.com the truth.
Jeremy did not suspect snazzynovel.com at all. He held snazzynovel.com hand and sat down on snazzynovel.com side of the bed. He then held up the hairdryer and started helping snazzynovel.com dry snazzynovel.com hair.
His actions were light and gentle. Madeline felt even worse when snazzynovel.com felt how much snazzynovel.com cherished her.
Who in the world wanted to scheme against Ryan and her?
Madeline could not guess who this person was, but snazzynovel.com was afraid that Ryan and snazzynovel.com were not the only ones who knew about this incident. The person scheming against them knew about it as well.
This person’s goal still remained unknown.
The next few days, Madeline did not visit Ryan anymore. She only contacted snazzynovel.com through the phone twice.
After that day’s incident, snazzynovel.com still did not know how to face Ryan.
On the other hand, Jeremy bought another luxurious villa. He even brought snazzynovel.com over to look at the property.
“Linnie, do you like this place?” snazzynovel.com asked her, his eyes glimmering softly. “The first step I want to take to start all over with you is to purchase a new home for the both of us,” snazzynovel.com announced.
Madeline did not have many thoughts about the new house. She stared intently at the man before her. “Anywhere is home as long as I’m with you,” snazzynovel.com said.
This reply alone caused sweetness to erupt in his heart.
He hugged and kissed snazzynovel.com passionately.
His current happiness healed the broken wounds at the bottom of his heart.
After the issue about the new house was settled, Madeline did not feel as burdened as snazzynovel.com did before.
On Monday morning, Madeline sent both of snazzynovel.com kids to kindergarten as the chauffeur was preoccupied with something. She had an urge to meet Jeremy as snazzynovel.com drove past the office of Whitman Corporation.
Although their relationship seemed rather awkward to outsiders, snazzynovel.com still wanted to see him.
Madeline took the elevator from the basement on purpose. As snazzynovel.com walked out of the elevator, snazzynovel.com saw the receptionists busily tidying document files. She noticed a parcel right next to her. After picking it up, snazzynovel.com saw that it belonged to Jeremy.
“I’m here to look for Mr. Whitman. I’ll bring it in for him. You can continue working,” snazzynovel.com said.
Upon seeing that it was Madeline, the receptionist was struck into a daze. She responded to snazzynovel.com after a while, “Thank… Thank you, Miss Montgomery,” snazzynovel.com said.
Madeline smiled and walked into Jeremy’s office.
He was on the phone. A faint smile appeared on his face when snazzynovel.com noticed her.
She did not disturb his call. She went to pour a cup of water for herself after putting the package on his table.
After returning from the pantry, snazzynovel.com noticed Jeremy standing before his table. He was holding a stack of photos and going through them one by one. The expression on his face turned colder with every photograph snazzynovel.com looked at.
“Jeremy, what are you looking at? Why is your expression like that?” snazzynovel.com asked.
