Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Jeremy’s gaze looked exceptionally abstruse and complicated. He clasped Madeline’s slender wrist tightly, tightening his hold on her inch by inch to not allow her to break free.

He could not let go of her hand again. He could not…

Madeline behaved coolly and calmly in the face of Jeremy’s doubts.

She curled the corners of her lips, seemingly revealing her annoyance. “If I remember correctly, Mr. Whitman, you promised me that you’d no longer suspect me of being your ex-wife, Madeline Crawford.”

Hearing her answer, the anticipation in Jeremy’s eyes seemed to have been extinguished instantly and his hand that was holding Madeline gradually relaxed.

Madeline withdrew her hand and took a sip of champagne. “To be honest, it’s really annoying to be treated as a dead person every time. If it wasn’t for me being afraid of pain, I would have really considered giving myself a makeover.”

Jeremy suddenly raised his eyes. “Don’t get plastic surgery.”

“Hmm?” Madeline raised her eyebrows lightly.

Jeremy paused slightly, then opened his mouth. “Sorry, this is the last time.” He promised. “You don’t need plastic surgery. Your natural appearance is the most beautiful.”

His words were meant to be for praise and appreciation, but it was merely because her face was exactly the same as Madeline.

He slowly turned around as he spoke, and the bustling city under the night could be seen from this angle.

There were intertwining neon lights and dazzling illuminations, but it seemed that the chill between his brows still could not be dissipated.

“Miss Vera, can you accompany me for a few drinks?” His emotionless voice sounded.

Madeline looked at his back and found it to look quite lonely and depressed.

She walked to his side with a glass of wine and shot him a neutral glance. “Although I’m quite disgusted that people keep treating me like a dead person, it seems that the ‘dead person’, who’s your ex-wife, was wronged by mistake. She doesn’t seem to be the shameless, cruel woman as rumored.”

She expressed the hidden grievances and powerlessness in her heart in a joking manner.
