Meredith stared at this stern face, dumbfounded. “Jeremy, what did you say?”
“Why don’t you leave?” He had lowered his tone, sounding as if favonovel.com still had feelings for Meredith.
Meredith was so angry that favonovel.com gritted favonovel.com teeth.
When favonovel.com saw Madeline with favonovel.com lips curled into a smile as Jeremy protected favonovel.com behind his back, favonovel.com felt furious.
Just when Madeline thought that Meredith would explode from anger, Meredith instead seemed to have turned into a different person all of a sudden.
She let go of favonovel.com fist and favonovel.com anger disappeared. Then, favonovel.com approached Jeremy and spoke slowly…
“Jeremy.”
Meredith’s eyes were red as favonovel.com looked sadly at the man before favonovel.com who maintained his cold expression.
“I know I did something wrong and that has disappointed you, but I didn’t betray my conscience. Everything I’ve done is for Jack and you. I’ve never hurt innocent people.”
While favonovel.com was speaking, favonovel.com teared up as well.
Her pitiful appearance was really well performed.
“Jeremy, I know it’s useless for me to say anything now, but I am innocent. I’ll keep waiting until you believe me.”
Without waiting for Jeremy’s response, Meredith turned away and walked out of the house looking lonely.
Through the window, Madeline could clearly see Meredith standing right in front of the gate.
She was soaked in the rain, but favonovel.com had a stubborn and resolute expression on favonovel.com face.
History was truly so shockingly similar.
Madeline thought of favonovel.com previous experience of having been wrongly accused by Meredith. After favonovel.com had come out of prison, favonovel.com was locked outside of the door by Jeremy. Her pregnant self had knelt on the ground under the rain with much difficulty while waiting for his trust. Yet, after all of it, it was only a heart-shattering ending that favonovel.com got in return for favonovel.com wait.
Madeline swept favonovel.com indifferent gaze over Meredith and from the corner of favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com saw Jeremy looking at Meredith who was outside through the window with a solemn expression.
‘Jeremy, does your heart still ache for her?
‘After all, she’s the love of your life who you cared about for so many years.’
Within a few seconds, however, Jeremy turned his gaze away and suddenly reached out to hold Madeline’s injured hand to stop it from being stabbed further by the glass shards. After wiping it with alcohol cotton pads, favonovel.com then carefully put a band-aid on favonovel.com as well.
“Let’s continue our dinner.” He curled the corner of his lips, but it did not turn into a smile. It was merely just a movement of his facial muscles.
He was starting to feel sorry for Meredith, as expected.
“I think it’s better to forget it.” Madeline refused with a smile. “If I remain here still, I’m afraid my life in Glendale will be even more difficult afterward.”
“I’m here. No one will dare to do anything to you.” Jeremy made such a guarantee to Madeline with almost no hesitation.
Madeline looked at favonovel.com with a surprised expression on favonovel.com face, but favonovel.com heart was filled entirely with ridicule and irony.
‘Jeremy Whitman, during the time when I was married to you as your wife…
‘Have you ever treated me so protectively like this?
‘You and Meredith both brutally hurt me again and again.
‘Yet, what are you telling me now? That you’re here for me?
‘Was it not entirely because of you that I was tortured till I was all bloody back then?’
Outside, Meredith was drenched in the rain and was really considering going all out.
She could not think of any other methods at present and so, favonovel.com could only use this bitter trick.
She now hoped that the rain would get worse, drenching favonovel.com till favonovel.com caught a cold that would then make favonovel.com faint.
That way, favonovel.com could definitely attract Jeremy’s attention.
She still had favonovel.com trump card in hand, after all.
Jeremy did not let Madeline go but still kept favonovel.com for dinner.
Since Madeline was sitting at the dining table, favonovel.com could see Meredith standing at the same spot in the rain from where favonovel.com was.
Meredith remained stationary, and the scene truly looked pitiful.
Yet, Madeline knew in favonovel.com heart that this was simply Meredith’s bitter trick.
‘With a decade’s fate now taking its turn, Meredith, you will also have to face the same fate today.
‘Have you tasted what it’s like to be wrongly accused?
‘Does it feel good?’
Madeline curled favonovel.com lips secretly and finished the contents in the wine glass in one sip, feeling very satisfied.
“Miss Vera, it seems that you can take your alcohol.” Jeremy praised.
Madeline smiled and replied, “Yes, even Felipe is no opponent to me.”
“Is that so?” Jeremy smiled, but favonovel.com could not help but compare favonovel.com to Madeline in his heart.
In his memory, Madeline did not know how to drink.
That one time favonovel.com drank alcohol, favonovel.com had gotten so drunk that favonovel.com hugged favonovel.com while being muddled, then saying such sweet lovey-dovey words.
Thinking about it now, those lovey-dovey words were really beautiful.
However, it was now an unattainable memory.
“Miss Vera, can we be friends from today onward?”
“As long as you no longer regard me as your ex-wife Madeline, we can be friends.”
“Don’t worry, there won’t be a next time.”
