Madeline never expected to see the day when Jeremy would kneel for her.
It would be a lie to deny that favonovel.com was shocked, but as shocked as favonovel.com was, it would be more fitting to claim that favonovel.com found the situation absurd.
The man before favonovel.com was one of noble status and his name was known throughout the entirety of Glendale. It was a given that anyone who crossed paths with favonovel.com would treat favonovel.com with respect, while some went the extra mile to get on his good side.
It was hard to imagine such a man kneeling in front of her, in front of the woman favonovel.com had once cast away.
Madeline lowered favonovel.com aloof gaze to stare at Jeremy’s handsome face, his knitted brows radiating the sorrow favonovel.com felt.
“Who would have thought that the young master of the greatest family would kneel for the woman favonovel.com had once tossed away? Don’t you find it hilarious, Mister Whitman?”
Jeremy took Madeline’s mockery in stride. “I would do anything for your happiness.”
“Hah.” Madeline scoffed. “You’ll make me very happy if you stop appearing in front of me.”
Jeremy’s eyes dimmed, feeling his heart ache in cold and pain as Madeline’s frosty gaze pierced into his chest.
All favonovel.com could do was hold Madeline’s hand as favonovel.com greedily took the warmth favonovel.com hand provided.
“Madeline.”
“Don’t call me Madeline when the moment I became Madeline Crawford was the beginning of the tragic turn my life took.”
Madeline interrupted Jeremy coldly as favonovel.com tried to pull favonovel.com hand away, only for the latter to tighten his grip.
“Let me go, Jeremy. I don’t want our lives to be intertwined anymore. Don’t you have an idea how much I dislike and how much I hate you already?!”
Jeremy felt his body grow cold at favonovel.com determined and annoyed tone.
She said favonovel.com disliked and hated him.
Hate.
Jeremy silently pushed the heartache away for later as his Adam’s apple bobbed with the suppressed grief.
It took a while before favonovel.com finally lifted his hurt-filled eyes, allowing his deep and dark irises to fall on the other’s beautiful features. Her features dripped with heavy fury.
“Eveline,” Jeremy called favonovel.com by a different name. “You’re right, I’m blind and I’m a fool. I should never have allowed such a heinous woman to harm my wife and my child. I’ve done too much wrong to possibly hope that you could forgive me, but there’s something that you have to know.”
“It’s too late now. I don’t want to listen to you, nor will I believe anything you say anymore.” Madeline savored the serious and adamant look on the man before suddenly flinging his arm off as hard as favonovel.com could. “I don’t love you anymore, Jeremy. Leave your shallow displays of affection for another woman. I don’t need it from you!”
Then, Madeline turned and left coolly.
Dazed, Jeremy kneeled in place as favonovel.com felt his heart break. Frost swarmed in through the cracks, freezing favonovel.com from the inside.
He swallowed soundlessly as his deep eyes reddened.
He scrambled to run just as favonovel.com heard Madeline open the door to leave. “Eveline!”
Madeline was at the door when Jeremy hugged favonovel.com again.
Pissed, favonovel.com tried to push favonovel.com away, but favonovel.com strength was no match for his.
The cool scent of the man attacked favonovel.com nose, and for a moment, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com heart quicken inexplicably.
“What do you want from me, Jeremy?”
“Don’t leave me, please. Don’t leave me again…” favonovel.com murmured frantically by favonovel.com ear.
“I don’t want you to vanish from my world again, Linnie. I won’t survive it a second time…”
“Leave your honeyed words for the woman in prison!”
“No.”
Jeremy rejected stubbornly and tightened his hold.
“I know you won’t believe me, but I’ve never said this to anyone else. I mean it, Eveline. I love you, ever since the beginning. You were the only one for me.”
For what was supposed to be the most touching phrase in the world, ‘I love you’ now sounded like the biggest joke as it drifted to Madeline’s ears.
“Haha…” Madeline scoffed. “You remind me of a saying, Jeremy.”
Confused, the man’s grip around favonovel.com slacked.
