Chapter 20

When Madeline remembered her battered self. she did not know what to do.

Every woman would want to present their best selves to the man they loved. However. whenever she was with him, she would be in her worst and most torn-up state. At this moment, she was even covered in the scars he had given her.

“Who allowed you to come in?” Jeremy stopped outside the door.

Madeline looked at him. “This is my home.”

“Your home?” The man chuckled lowly. “Do you think you have the right to call this your home?”

The light in Madeline’s eyes faded. Jeremy's words stabbed her heart like glass shards.

“If Mer weren't so kind, you would still be rotting in prison.” Jeremy’s words were laced with love for Meredith.

Madeline was stunned. and she subconsciously touched her stomach.

“Don't you want me to believe you? Why are you still standing here?” Jeremy said in a cold voice.
