Chapter 54
The little guy turned around as he probably heard the sound of footsteps approaching. His cute and blank face was facing Madeline now. His bright and clear eyes were like glazed tiles as they blinked and stared at Madeline.
The spark of hatred in Madeline’s heart seemed to be extinguished in an instant. Then, it was replaced by unspeakable love and kindness.
Tears stung the corner of her eyes and she suddenly had an urge to cry.
‘If my baby’s still here, she would be as cute as him too.’
After all, Jeremy was so outstanding. His offspring who inherited his genes would surely be as good- looking.
Madeline bent over and stroked his delicate, cute face. “What’s your name, honey?”
The little guy blinked and said adorably, “My mommy and daddy call me Jack.”
‘Mommy and daddy’.
Those words hurt Madeline.
Her baby should have her mommy and daddy as well, but now…
“Maddie, what are you trying to do again? You can do anything to me but please don’t hurt my and Jeremy’s son!”
Meredith’s screaming sounded unusually exaggerated. In addition to that, she especially emphasized that this was her and Jeremy’s son.
Madeline had never thought about doing anything to this innocent child. When she heard what Meredith screamed, she wanted to laugh.

“Mommy.” The little guy ran over immediately.
Meredith lifted Jack with a worried look, then she inspected him nervously. “Let Mommy see if you’re injured.”
Madeline chuckled softly. “Meredith, your acting skills are really getting better and better.”
“Maddie, why are you so cruel?” Meredith looked at Madeline grievously. “Three years ago, you stole my boyfriend and killed my first child with Jeremy. Why do you still want to hurt my son three years later? Although we’re not biological sisters, I’ve always treated you well.”
Seeing Meredith’s hypocritical performance, Madeline sneered after listening indifferently, “You really do treat me well, so I’ll definitely repay you, my good sister.”
“…” Meredith was stunned when she heard those words. She was speechless for a while.
Madeline was quite pleased when she saw Meredith’s bewilderment and puzzlement.
Not wanting to waste any more time talking to her, Madeline was about to leave when she saw Jeremy walking over.
Under the moonlight, his cold air of asceticism was even more charming than it was three years ago.
Madeline’s heart beat faster, but she would never have any expectations or fantasies about this man again.
She glanced at him indifferently and passed by him without stopping.
Jeremy frowned and reached out to grab Madeline’s arm.
“Where are you going, Mrs. Whitman?” He parted his lips, his tone filled with puzzlement.
Madeline stopped and noticed Meredith’s face turning darker and darker from the corner of her eye. She pursed her pink lips and smiled at Jeremy.
“What do you think, darling? It’s already so late. Of course, I’m going home.”
Madeline smiled pretentiously, and then she saw a subtle glint in Jeremy’s eyes. The man let go of her hand when she was not sure what it was.
“Wait for me in the car. I’ll come right away.”
