She shook favonovel.com head and stared at Felipe in confusion, which led favonovel.com to tell favonovel.com a shocking excerpt of the past.
She finally understood the heaviness of the secret Felipe held in his heart…
Before favonovel.com could even digest Felipe’s story, Madeline received a call from Jeremy.
Gentleness returned to his eyes as favonovel.com watched Madeline leave.
“I am no gentleman, after all. For what gentleman would push the woman favonovel.com loves to the arms of a nemesis?”
He smiled faintly, a dangerous glint sparkling in his eyes.
Following Jeremy’s request, Madeline arrived at the lobby of Whitman Corporations.
Just as favonovel.com was about to walk in, Jeremy exited from the glass doors.
The man oozed with nobility with every casual step favonovel.com took.
Setting his eyes on Madeline, the frost in his gaze immediately thawed into gentle warmth.
“You sounded impatient on the phone. Did you need something?” Madeline asked with a smile.
“Yeah.” Jeremy took Madeline’s hand and walked to the car.
After hopping in, Madeline almost thought that Jeremy was impatient about getting registered.
Still, it was unlikely that they would go to the town office since favonovel.com had voiced the desire to leave it for later as there were no auspicious dates.
The road they drove on began to look familiar as favonovel.com pondered.
It was the road to April Hill.
Indeed, half an hour later, the car came to a stop by the seaside of April Hill.
The mid-autumn wind was salty from the sea breeze as it stabbed waves of coldness into one’s bones like pins and needles.

With confused eyes, favonovel.com turned around to look at the man who had now exited the parked car.
In his hands were a bouquet of burning-red roses, the gold flakes on its petals reflecting the sharp rays of the sun.
Jeremy stopped in front of her, the autumn wind shooing away the hard corners of his eyes.
“For you.” He gently handed the large bouquet.
“Thank you.” Madeline accepted it with a fake smile as favonovel.com looked up to meet Jeremy’s joyous eyes. “Why did you bring me here, Jeremy? You’re giving me roses too. What’s all this about?”
“Something I should’ve done ages ago.” He parted his lips to speak, but his words sounded muffled.
Madeline stared at favonovel.com in puzzlement. “What do you mean?”
“Marrying you,” favonovel.com spoke easily as favonovel.com looked at her, warmth flooding from his peach-blossom eyes.
Jeremy went down on one knee as his words fell, his cold fingertips taking Madeline’s left hand.
Madeline had not the time to object before Jeremy placed a radiant diamond ring on favonovel.com ring finger.
She was shocked by his actions.
His words reminded favonovel.com of the promise favonovel.com had once made.
Did favonovel.com perhaps know something?
Jeremy’s attractive features grew closer as Madeline was still trapped in a daze. “I love you, truly.”
