Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 273

Chapter 273

On the way back to the manor, what Jeremy’s mother said to him through the phone earlier was still

replaying in his head.

Unbeknownst to him, he started to speed up his car and after more than ten minutes, he drove into the

manor’s garage.

After he got out of the car, he walked straight to the living room. When he was at the door, he saw the

face of his dreams. That stunning and alluring face was in his field of vision.

Jeremy stopped in his tracks as his heartbeat sped up.

Madeline lifted her head and saw Jeremy. She smiled bashfully at him, her eyes looking so lively that it

was like they were able to speak to him. There were so many emotions in them.

“I thought Felipe was here, but it’s just you, Mr. Whitman.” Madeline smiled softly. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jeremy’s speeding heart went back to its normal pace at that instant. He narrowed his eyes while

maintaining a smile on his lips. “Are you waiting for Felipe?”

“Felipe and I planned to come here together, but he had something to take care of suddenly, so that’s

why I’m here first.” Madeline explained calmly. “It’s good that you’re here, Mr. Whitman. Felipe and I

won’t have to inform you again.”

“Inform me about what?” Jeremy walked over to Madeline and stared into her eyes.

Her eyes looked into his deep ones confidently. “About our marriage.”

Her voice was soft as it drifted into Jeremy’s ear and landed on his heart. He felt that her words were

extremely heavy for no reason. It was weighing on him so much that he felt it was difficult for him to

breathe at this moment.

“You’ll give us your blessings, right, Mr. Whitman? He’s your uncle, after all.” Madeline grinned and

looked at Jeremy’s face that had turned cold all of a sudden.

“Are you sure you’ll be happy marrying a man you don’t love?”

Madeline was shocked when she heard Jeremy saying that all of a sudden. However, she smiled

calmly.

“Do you think that I’ll be happy if I marry someone I love deeply, Mr. Whitman?” she asked him. She

spotted the sense of loss in Jeremy’s eyes and the smile on her face got even wider. “Based on my

understanding, your ex-wife Madeline was so madly in love with you, but what did she get in return?

She loved the wrong person. Not only did she not get an ounce of your love, she even lost her life.

“The saddest thing was that you guys were ecstatic when she died. You guys think that it’s better now

that she’s dead.”

Madeline enunciated each and every word clearly. She noticed a hint of worry in Jeremy’s eyes, then

she chuckled sarcastically.

“If that’s the case, do you still think marrying someone I love will bring me happiness, Mr. Whitman?”

When Jeremy heard Madeline’s question, he looked at her for a moment before parting his lips slightly.

However, he could not say one single word.

He just felt that this face was making him feel perturbed. He was having difficulty breathing now.

He recalled Madeline gasping for air while looking like she was about to break the moment before her

death. Suddenly, he found that the question he had asked earlier was oddly pathetic.

Not happy.

She was not happy at all.

The biggest misfortune in her life was meeting him and falling in love with him.

“If it’s so painful to love someone, then I’d rather be loved instead.”

Madeline’s voice lingered in Jeremy’s ear.

He looked at her while feeling dispirited. He felt as if his heart had been stabbed with a knife. There

was no blood, but the invisible pain was spreading across his heart.

“Felipe.”

Suddenly, Jeremy heard Madeline calling out to someone behind him.
