Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1622

Chapter 1622

The corners of Carter's lips twitched as he slowly walked toward the door of the room.

Jeremy heard Carter's approaching footsteps and guessed that Carter might have noticed him.

"Cart."

Madeline's sudden appearance halted Carter's footsteps that were about to reach the door.

"Cart, I'm done. Can I go down to see your relatives and friends now?" Madeline asked with a slight smile. When she saw Ada standing in the study again, she could not help but wonder, 'She's here too?'

Carter glanced at Ada indifferently and smiled softly at Madeline. "We still have time, so you can go back to your room and rest for a while."

Madeline furrowed her beautiful eyebrows with slight embarrassment. "Can you accompany me? I think I'm a little nervous."

Carter quietly glanced at the door of the study from the corners of his eyes. Then, he smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll accompany you." "Okay." Madeline smiled and displayed her sweet dimples before reaching out to grab at Carter's sleeve.

Carter did not say much and started to keep up with Madeline's footsteps.

Ada looked gloomily at the scene of Carter entertaining Madeline. She mumbled a few words of dissatisfaction before leaving the study. Jeremy never thought that Madeline would appear by chance at such a crucial time, but her appearance did save him from huge trouble.

Jeremy also quickly left the study. He was trying to replace where Madeline and Carter had gone to, but suddenly, he saw Carter hurriedly turning back from not far away. Anticipating that Carter might want to go back to the study to check if he was behind the door, Jeremy decisively dodged to the corner where there was no one around. After waiting for Carter to enter the study, he quickly ran in the direction Carter had just walked in.

As he passed the door of a guest room, Jeremy caught a glimpse of Madeline sitting inside from the corners of his eyes. He dashed in without hesitation and quickly locked the door. Upon hearing the sound, Madeline quickly turned her head and saw Jeremy as he strode toward her solemnly.

"Jeremy, it's you again." Madeline's voice was cold, and she even sounded impatient. "How many times do I have to keep telling you before you understand? Stop pestering me already." Jeremy did not back away when he was faced with Madeline's repulsion.

"Linnie, I want to take you home."

"Home? This is my home."

"No, Linnie, this is not your home." Jeremy looked serious and focused. "I'll let you know where our home is soon, Linnie."

Madeline twisted her beautiful eyebrows together. When she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Jeremy take out a crystal ball. "Eveline, look at this crystal ball now."

As Jeremy's voice fell, Madeline seemed to be stunned. Her eyes were looking fixedly at the crystal ball in Jeremy's hand.

Jeremy's heart beat faster when he saw Madeline's reaction.

Sure enough, props were very important.

This was the prop that Carter used to hypnotize Madeline. As such, he would use this to try to break Madeline's hypnosis.

He was indeed not a professional hypnotist, but these days, he has been studying day and night. He had learned the relevant knowledge from Cathy as well. In any case, he had to give it a try. "Eveline..."

Click.

Jeremy was about to get to the point when the locked door was suddenly opened.

He froze before turning to see Carter walking toward him with a subtle smile.

"Jeremy, you're very smart, but I'm not stupid either."

Carter glanced at the crystal ball Jeremy was holding. "Now, let me tell you the correct usage of this crystal ball."
