Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1903

"Did something happen?" Jeremy asked directly. Ken nodded and pointed at the office.

"That guy named Carter Gray is here."

Jeremy lifted his alluring eyes slightly. "He barged into the office?"

"The receptionist had just gone to the toilet, so she didn't notice him, and he just came in," Ken explained.

Jeremy nodded to show that he understood, then strode into the office.

Carter was here for Jeremy, so when he heard the footsteps outside the door, he turned his chair and looked in the direction of the door.

When he saw Jeremy, Carter said in a mocking tone, "Are you done with your meeting, Mr. Whitman? I've been waiting for you for some time."

Jeremy peered at Carter coldly before walking carefreely to the desk.

"Let's not beat around the bush. Just spit it out.”

Jeremy was straightforward.

Carter's lips pressed together into a smirk. It seemed that he was impressed with Jeremy's carefree attitude.

Carter, too, straightforwardly stated his purpose. "I know Whitman Corporation is trying to get a collaboration project with ZF. You know better than anyone the benefits you'll get once it's successful. Of course, I want to tell you that I won't let you succeed."

Carter smirked confidently. "Jeremy, from now on, you'd better be alert all the time. I won't let my child die in vain."

After saying that, Carter got up to leave carefreely.

Ken, who had been standing at one side for a while, had a confused and disdainful expression as he stared at Carter's back figure.

"Mr. Whitman, what does he mean by that?"

"His goal is not the project from ZF." Jeremy already saw through Carter.

That man was just going on a wild goose chase with him because of his innocent, miscarried child. He blamed Jeremy and Madeline for everything, so this man was now seeking revenge. However, it was obvious that Carter's revenge had nothing to do with business. His target was Jeremy's family, especially his young and innocent children.

As Jeremy silently analyzed this, someone knocked on the glass door of his office.

He came back to his senses and, to his surprise, saw Madeline smiling at the door.

When Ken saw Madeline, he walked over to greet her politely he left.

Madeline smiled and apprached the man who was also walking toward her.

"What's wrong? You look so serious. Did you have an unpleasant meeting this morning?" Madeline asked with a small smile.

Jeremy's eyes were soft. "Linnie, why are you here?"

"I missed you," Madeline uttered those sweet words.

Jeremy felt as if there was honey flowed through his heart. It felt exceptionally sweet.

However, before Jeremy could feel happy for long, he heard Madeline say, "Actually, I've just sent Jack to school so I decided to come here since I was on the way." Jeremy displayed a disappointed expression. "Oh, I was just on the way."

"What's wrong? Are you jealous of Jack?" Madeline smiled and asked after getting closer to him.

Jeremy lifted his eyes and saw Madeline's gentle and beautiful smiling face. She was like a bright star, shining brightly in his eyes. A smile also crept into his handsome face. Jeremy reached out his arms and pulled Madeline into his arms immediately.

"I know my wife didn't come here because I was on the way. My wife came to see me because she missed me."

Madeline smiled when she heard that. Of course, she would not argue with him because she did come here to see him deliberately. She did not drop by because he was on the way.
