Jeremy stood in the cold wind while looking longingly at Madeline’s back. His tall and slender body casted a lonely shadow under the streetlight.
He curled the corners of his lips as a trace of bitterness started to spread from his heart.
His eyes started to feel wet, causing the beautiful figure in front of favonovel.com to become blurry.
How could favonovel.com blame favonovel.com for being heartless and cold now? He only had himself to blame.
…
After eating with Ava and Daniel, Madeline went back to favonovel.com previous apartment alone.
She sat in front of the french window as Jeremy’s words lingered in favonovel.com ear involuntarily.
‘The person I love is you.’
“Heh.”
Madeline chuckled coldly.
‘No one would be willing to hurt the person they love to this degree.
‘Jeremy, don’t tell me that you love me. Don’t tell me that you didn’t mean all those harsh words you said after my heart died from all the torture you gave me.’
Buzz, buzz.
Her phone on the nightstand started vibrating.
Madeline gathered favonovel.com thoughts and picked up the phone after seeing that it was from Eloise.
‘From the looks of how they were looking for me so frantically just now, they might already know that I’m their daughter.’
She thought about it silently as favonovel.com allowed favonovel.com phone to keep vibrating. She did not pick up.
Madeline finally answered after the fifth call.
It was evident that the person on the other side did not expect favonovel.com to answer. Eloise only said something after favonovel.com stayed silent for about two seconds. “Miss Vera?”
Madeline was surprised that Eloise was calling favonovel.com that.
Did they not know? Had Jeremy not told them?
“What’s wrong? Why did you call me so many times?” Madeline asked without batting an eye.
Eloise tried favonovel.com best to control the emotions in favonovel.com heart. She said while pretending nothing was wrong, “Miss Vera, Jack can’t sleep again. He wants to see you and have you sing a lullaby for him. Can you come over now?”
Madeline wanted to treat favonovel.com coldly, but when favonovel.com mentioned Jack, favonovel.com could not help but want to get close to him.
“I’ll go over now. Tell Jack to wait for me.”
“Okay, of course! We’ll wait for you!” Eloise answered emotionally.
Madeline could detect something was amiss from Eloise’s shaky voice.
She did not think much of it though. She changed favonovel.com clothes and drove to Montgomery Manor.
About ten minutes later, favonovel.com arrived at the entrance of Montgomery Manor. What surprised favonovel.com was that Sean and Eloise were waiting for her.
They looked like they were expecting her, and because of this, Madeline was certain about one thing.
She stopped the car but before favonovel.com could open the door, Eloise and Sean were already standing by the side of favonovel.com car. Through the rearview mirror, Madeline could see that Sean’s eyes were red from tears while Eloise had tears streaming down favonovel.com face. She looked like favonovel.com was in great sadness.
She stopped unbuckling favonovel.com seatbelt.
Eloise and Sean were nervous when they saw that Madeline was not going to get out of the car.
Eloise wiped favonovel.com tears away as favonovel.com knocked on the window of the car with trembling hands. She looked at Madeline with a heartbroken and expectant gaze. She sobbed, saying, “Miss Vera, why aren’t you getting out?”
