Chapter 238

"You've known him for three years but she's already two?" Jeremy frowned. He looked closely at Madeline. "It means that you started dating him after you got to know each other."

"Felipe and I fell in love at first sight. I knew immediately that I wanted to be with him and give him children. Is there a problem?" Madeline replied straightforwardly without hesitating one bit. Jeremy's heart sank, but those disappeared suspicions rose within him once again.

"Jeremy!"

Suddenly, Meredith's shrieks penetrated their eardrums.

Madeline lifted her head to look over and she saw Meredith running over frantically. When their eyes met, there was obvious detest and anger in Meredith's eyes.

Meredith looked pretty spirited today compared to that day in the rain when she looked ever so weak.

She ran over to Jeremy and grabbed his hand that was on Madeline's. She peered at it before looking at Jeremy with worry in her eyes. "Jeremy, Jack is missing!" Jackson was missing?

Madeline's heart skipped a beat for some reason and she felt uneasy. However, she was calm on the surface.

She also noticed that aside from the hypocritical worried look on Meredith's face, Jeremy's expression was also unperturbed.

It was as if Jackson was not related to him at all.

"He must be somewhere here. You don't have to worry," Jeremy said calmly before letting go of Madeline's hand.

"You should look for him, Mr. Whitman. There are so many people here and there might even be human traffickers among the crowd. Jackson is your only child. You'd be very upset if he goes missing." "Of course!" Meredith glared at Madeline in disdain. "Jackson is my and Jeremy's flesh and blood. Of course, Jeremy is worried-"

"He's not my only child."

Before Meredith could finish, Jeremy interrupted her. Plus, it was as if he was replying to what Madeline was saying just now.

Madeline and Meredith were both taken aback at the same time. Then, they saw Jeremy smiling faintly.

"Jeremy."

"Meredith grabbed his arm. "Jeremy, let's go replace Jack! Stop paying attention to these irrelevant people."

Jeremy's face fell, and it seemed that he was annoyed.

However, he still allowed Meredith to pull him away. Before he turned around, he looked at Madeline intensely with eyes that were as deep as the ocean.

Madeline felt uneasy after he looked at her like that. After bringing Lillian to the restroom, she went back to the restaurant.

Felipe had just ordered their food when they came. Lillian ran over to him happily. "Daddy."

"Good girl." Felipe caressed her little head and brought her to her seat. Then, he lifted his head to see Madeline spacing out.

"What happened?" he asked softly.

"I ran into Jeremy just now," Madeline replied, "He and Meredith brought Jackson here to have fun, but it seems like they've lost Jackson."

"By lost, you mean he's missing?" Felipe asked.

"I don't know. But I feel like Meredith's deliberately ignoring the child." Madeline voiced out the concern in her heart. Then, her eyes met Felipe's gentle gaze. "Felipe, please watch Lily for a moment. I need to leave for a bit."

"Are you going to look for Jackson?" Felipe could guess what Madeline was thinking about.

Madeline nodded. "Even though he's Meredith's son, he's innocent," she said before telling Lillian something. After that, she got up and left.

Felipe looked at Madeline's back as the warmth in his eyes disappeared.

Madeline looked for Jackson alone. She saw Jeremy and Meredith walking past her a few times, but it seemed that they still had not found him yet.

Time passed quickly and it was now dusk.

There were fewer and fewer people in the amusement park now. There were only ten minutes left before the park closed.

Madeline finally realized that so much time had passed. However, she only grew more restless over time.

She was worried about Jackson for some unknown reason. She was so worried about him that she was inattentive to everything else.

Felipe called her and told her he would wait for her at the parking lot. After she hung up the phone, Madeline was still looking around in the amusement park. It was getting darker and darker, and she started to become frantic.

Then, she recalled Jackson's peculiar behavior in her house. She immediately stopped in her tracks.

"C-Could it be that he's there?"
