Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 244

Chapter 244

After a painful experience with her previous relationship, she would choose to be loved again if there was a choice.

Jeremy returned to the house while holding the phone tightly in his hand. There were answers in it that he could not wait to know. However, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Meredith cooking in the kitchen while the maids instructed and helped at one side. This scene made Jeremy think of Madeline.

He recalled the nights that she would be here making dinner for him and yet, he would just ignore her. He instead spent the night outside rather than coming back to face this woman who he thought was dirty and heinous.

When Meredith heard him coming back, she turned around and ran to him. "Jeremy, you're back. I picked Jack up and I made dinner especially for you guys tonight. This is my first time making dinner, so I hope you'll like it."

She looked at Jeremy with passionate and loving eyes. "Jeremy, today my mother received an invitation card for Miss L.ady's anniversary party. Will you go with me?" Jeremy furrowed his brows. "I'm not available."

"Jeremy." Meredith's smile disappeared gradually. "Are you still refusing to forgive me? It's been so long since that incident. I was forced by Maddie. Why do you have to be so heartless over a trivial matter like this?"

"A trivial matter?" Jeremy suddenly smiled upon hearing these two words. His smile was obscure and indistinct. It was hard to read his expression, but his voice suddenly went cold. "I'll replace a time to announce to the public as soon as possible that I've already broken off my engagement to you."

"..." Meredith looked at Jeremy's back in confusion before hastily stopping him. "Jeremy, please don't do this. You promised. You promised me back then that you'd take care of me for the rest of my life!" Recalling the promise from back when they were at the beach, Jeremy knitted his eyebrows together.

Jeremy would only be acting rashly if he did not take into consideration their relationship back then.

A few seconds later, he parted his lips coldly.

"I'll take care of you, but I won't marry you."

"..." Meredith's face turned white. "Jeremy, why? Why are you doing this to me?"

She nagged and pursued, losing control of her emotions.

"Is it because of Vera? Do you think you owe something to Maddie, so now that a woman who looks so much like her has appeared, you want to make up for this debt through Vera, right?"

"I told you, this has nothing to do with her." Jeremy's agitated gaze landed on Meredith's contorted face. "You're asking me why? Why don't you ask yourself?"

"Jeremy?"

"I like the Linnie I married back then. She was innocent and kind, but now, you've changed. You're not the Linnie I used to know."

י

"..." Meredith was at a loss as she looked at Jeremy's face that was gradually turning colder.

She had changed?

No, she had never changed.

It was because she was not the Linnie who Jeremy fell in love at first sight with.

She was just a fake good!

Jeremy indifferently retracted his arm and went upstairs.

Meredith ran over to him and put her arms around his waist from the back. "Jeremy, don't do this to me. Please don't. Yes, I've changed. The only change is that I love you even more now. I was afraid that you'll get pestered by Maddie because of marriage. I was afraid of losing you, so that's why I did something so stupid." She explained frantically. Tears started streaming down her cheeks.

"Jeremy, will you change your mind and not break up with me if I turn back into the Linnie from back then?"

Jeremy did not answer her, and he even pried her fingers away forcefully.

Meredith kept shouting his name from behind him, but he did not turn back. He walked straight into his bedroom.

He could not replace any trace of Madeline on the double bed. However, he still sat on the spot that she used to sleep in out of habit.

After sitting down, Jeremy opened the email on his phone.

The result of Lillian's and his DNA test was in front of him.

This time, Jeremy did not hesitate before tapping into the email.
