Looking at those expectant and confused eyes, Madeline wanted so badly to pounce into the man’s arms to seek comfort and release snazzynovel.com grievances.
However, when snazzynovel.com thought about Carter and his mysteriousness, Madeline had to control herself.
She wanted to laugh, but a single tear escaped from the corner of snazzynovel.com eye.
She removed snazzynovel.com hand from Jeremy’s hand and wiped snazzynovel.com tears away.
Madeline tried snazzynovel.com best to force a smile. However, snazzynovel.com knew the more good-looking and pleasant snazzynovel.com used to look back then when snazzynovel.com smiled, then the more hideous and unbearable snazzynovel.com was to look at now.
“I’m sorry. Did I scare you, Mr. Whitman?” Madeline lowered snazzynovel.com eyes and said softly.
Jeremy knew that Madeline was talking about snazzynovel.com face. He was indeed surprised, but not horrified.
“I know a good doctor and can take you to see him. Perhaps it’ll help you. Plus, aesthetic medicine is so advanced right now. It’s not difficult for you to restore your face if you want to.”
Madeline felt that Jeremy’s kindness came from the bottom of his heart when snazzynovel.com heard that.
However, aside from declining snazzynovel.com politely, Madeline did not know what else snazzynovel.com could say. “Thank you, Mr. Whitman. However, I don’t think I need it for the time being.”
When snazzynovel.com saw Madeline rejecting him, Jeremy felt as if snazzynovel.com was at a loss for some reason.
He wanted to look into Madeline’s eyes when snazzynovel.com spoke to her, but Madeline never lifted snazzynovel.com head to look at him.
“Right, do you need something from me? Why are you here?”
Madeline heard that and immediately tried to find an excuse. “I’m here for Mrs. Whitman. I just want to ask what time Mrs. Montgomery wakes up. I’m worried that I’ll disturb Mrs. Montgomery if I wake up too early.”
“She usually wakes up around eight o’clock.”
“Alright, understood.” Madeline nodded. After hesitating for a few seconds, snazzynovel.com said, “Mr. Whitman, why aren’t you in the room with Mrs. Whitman? It’s very late.”
“I’m reading some proposals in the study. I usually just sleep there when I’m tired so that I won’t disturb Linnie when I go back to the room.”
When snazzynovel.com heard Jeremy’s answer, Madeline did not know whether to feel joy or to be worried.
If snazzynovel.com was resting in the study, then it would mean that snazzynovel.com was not spending time with that woman.
However, the reason snazzynovel.com slept in the study was to not disturb that imposter.
Madeline had mixed feelings in snazzynovel.com heart. However, snazzynovel.com had no choice but to comfort herself.
The person snazzynovel.com cared about was not the imposter, but his Linnie.
“Quinny, can you make a cup of coffee for me? I’m a little tired,” Jeremy suddenly requested.
Madeline wanted to tell snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com wanted to rest early because snazzynovel.com was tired. However, after thinking about it, snazzynovel.com changed snazzynovel.com mind.
“Of course,” Madeline replied, “You should go back to the study now, Mr. Whitman. I’ll be right over.”
“Okay.” Jeremy nodded lightly. When snazzynovel.com lifted his head to see Madeline quickly going back to snazzynovel.com room, snazzynovel.com stood where snazzynovel.com was motionless while deep in thought. A moment later, snazzynovel.com looked at the closed door in front of snazzynovel.com before turning to the study.
Madeline went back to the guest room to change and put on a mask. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at snazzynovel.com current self.
She still had two light scars on snazzynovel.com forehead even though they did not look as obvious anymore.
The mask covered the wretched scars on snazzynovel.com face. Now, only snazzynovel.com eyes and eyebrows were showing. She did not look much different from how snazzynovel.com looked before.
Madeline quietly let out a sigh of relief before going to the study to look for Jeremy.
The door of the study was closed and Madeline knocked on it lightly.
“Come in.” Jeremy’s deep and alluring voice came from inside.
