Jeremy looked into Madeline’s curious gaze with a smile in his eyes. “Miss Quinn, what do you think is the most important thing in a relationship or a marriage?”
It was this question. Madeline was a little dazed, but snazzynovel.com was not absent-minded for long.
“I think it should be honesty and loyalty. Why are you asking this, Mr. Whitman?”
“If that’s the case, do you think I’m considered loyal to my marriage, Miss Quinn?” Jeremy asked following that.
Madeline was stumped for words once again. Immediately, snazzynovel.com recalled what happened between snazzynovel.com and Jeremy in the study a few days ago and also how snazzynovel.com had brazenly hinted at snazzynovel.com to be his personal secretary.
Was that loyalty?
He said snazzynovel.com wanted to get close to snazzynovel.com because of a feeling.
In addition, this feeling stemmed from the fact that snazzynovel.com was Eveline.
As such, mentally, snazzynovel.com had not let snazzynovel.com down. Meanwhile, physically… It seemed that snazzynovel.com had not let snazzynovel.com down from that perspective as well.
Suddenly, Madeline felt like snazzynovel.com was getting dizzy from snazzynovel.com own logic.
Jeremy curled the corners of his lips into a smirk when snazzynovel.com saw Madeline spacing out and staying silent.
“Why are you not talking, Miss Quinn?”
“…”
“Did you miss me the two days I was on a business trip, Miss Quinn?”
“…” Madeline could sense that something was amiss when Jeremy said such things to her.
However, snazzynovel.com could not help but feel the heat rising to snazzynovel.com cheeks. In order to prevent the man from saying something weird again, snazzynovel.com pretended to sneeze. After all, it was cold from the chilly wind.
Jeremy frowned and walked to Madeline.
He grabbed snazzynovel.com shoulder when Madeline was least expecting it and pulled snazzynovel.com into his broad warm embrace. He did not let a single raindrop fall on her.
However, Madeline was stunned. They were in the courtyard of Whitman Manor.
Was snazzynovel.com seriously holding snazzynovel.com so brazenly?
Was snazzynovel.com seriously going to hug a maid who was working for his family?
Madeline was feeling more and more conflicted. She escaped from Jeremy’s embrace.
“Mr. Whitman, did you have too much to drink? You’re being disrespectful toward Mrs. Whitman by doing this.”
Madeline could not help but roast Jeremy unhappily. Suddenly, snazzynovel.com lifted snazzynovel.com legs and ran into the rain, going into the house.
Jeremy frowned when snazzynovel.com saw Madeline suddenly running into the rain.
He followed after snazzynovel.com closely and grumbled about his inappropriate behavior just now in his heart.
He had to bear the blame if snazzynovel.com got a cold because of this.
After Madeline ran back into the house, snazzynovel.com body was soaked and even the mask on snazzynovel.com face was half-drenched.
It was still early, but there was no one in the living room.
She knew that the children needed to go to school and Karen was usually the one taking care of snazzynovel.com youngest son. However, Karen and Eloise were not here now.
She looked upstairs subconsciously, and it seemed that Naomi was not here as well.
This large house was extremely quiet and everything seemed peaceful.
When Madeline was pondering about what was going on, snazzynovel.com heard Jeremy’s warm words behind her.
“Go back to your room to take a hot shower and change your clothes. Don’t catch a cold.”
Madeline looked at Jeremy from the corner of snazzynovel.com eyes. She did not say anything to snazzynovel.com before going straight upstairs.
After showering and changing snazzynovel.com clothes, Madeline put on snazzynovel.com mask to walk out of the room again. She noticed that the entire place was still silent.
‘Weird. Where did everyone go?’
The more Madeline thought about this, the stranger snazzynovel.com found it. She walked forward, and when snazzynovel.com was about to go downstairs, snazzynovel.com suddenly heard a loud crash from the bedroom in front of her.
Judging from the direction of the noise, snazzynovel.com was sure that it had come from snazzynovel.com bedroom with Jeremy.
