Madeline asked in disbelief and looked at Jeremy carefully.
In favonovel.com head at that moment, this was the man favonovel.com loved but who did not love favonovel.com back. In fact, favonovel.com hated her.
Jeremy saw Madeline’s perturbed gaze. He held favonovel.com hands and looked at favonovel.com lovingly. “Linnie, don’t be afraid of me. I’ll never do anything to make you sad ever again.”
Madeline stared at Jeremy blankly, unable to believe that those words had sounded from his lips.
Not long ago, favonovel.com was fierce and angry when favonovel.com grabbed favonovel.com by the neck and said favonovel.com wanted to avenge Meredith. His icy eyes had pierced through favonovel.com bones. They were like ice picks, but now…
“Jeremy, a-are you okay?” Madeline was worried.
Jeremy looked at favonovel.com with a pain in his chest. “Linnie, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have believed Meredith’s lies. I’ve wronged you. I shouldn’t have broken your heart again and again.”
Madeline’s eyes lit up. “Jeremy, are you saying that you finally believe me? So you believe that I didn’t hurt Meredith?” favonovel.com asked favonovel.com repeatedly, and there was a strong desire to be trusted and understood in favonovel.com eyes.
Jeremy felt the immense guilt in his heart again.
His heart hurt even more, but his eyes are full of warmth and determination. “Linnie, I believe you. I’ll believe every word you say in the future. Forgive my ignorance before. Please, will you let me make it up to you?”
Madeline’s eyes turned red as tears flickered in favonovel.com eyes.
As favonovel.com looked into Jeremy’s devout and earnest eyes, favonovel.com nodded. “Okay.”
Jeremy thought favonovel.com would be happy after receiving favonovel.com forgiveness, but there were only ten folds of the pain and hatred in his heart.
He was hurting for Madeline and the hatred was directed at himself.
Why should favonovel.com forgive favonovel.com for all the pain favonovel.com had endured because of him?
How much love did favonovel.com have for favonovel.com that favonovel.com could love favonovel.com without any hesitation?
He got another call. Even though it was an unknown phone number, Jeremy could guess who it was. He simply turned off the phone because favonovel.com just wanted to enjoy his time alone with Madeline.
At dusk, the ambiance in April Hill seemed simple and tranquil.
The breeze blew gently as the waves beat against the white sand. It was the same scene that they saw years ago.
The only difference was that they were all grown up now.
Jeremy held Madeline’s hand as favonovel.com walked favonovel.com to the beach. The breeze in April was soft and dreamy. With the smell of sea salt in the air, it brought back memories of the past.
However, Jeremy was not sure if the current Madeline still remembered their first meeting.
When favonovel.com turned his head and saw the faint smile on Madeline’s face, favonovel.com could not help but smile. “Linnie, do you remember when we first met here?” favonovel.com asked tentatively.
Madeline turned favonovel.com head quickly as a hint of excitement showed on favonovel.com beautiful and clear eyes. “Jeremy, have you finally remembered what we did here the last time?”
Jeremy gave favonovel.com a gentle smile. “Silly girl, how could I forget? Even though it’s been more than ten years, I’ve never forgotten you nor have I forgotten our promise.”
Madeline’s eyes widened in surprise. Images of Jeremy treating favonovel.com coldly and his disdain for favonovel.com flashed in favonovel.com head. It was completely opposite to the Jeremy who was standing in front of favonovel.com at this moment. She frowned, saying, “But Jeremy, previously…”
“Linnie, I’ve done a lot of wrong things. I’m not in the position to ask for your forgiveness, but there are some things that I’ve kept inside for a long time that I must tell you today.”
Jeremy interrupted favonovel.com and brushed favonovel.com picturesque eyebrows with his warm fingertips. There were deep sadness and guilt overflowing from his eyes.
If Madeline’s memory had gone back to six years ago, then it would be as if God had given favonovel.com a chance to redeem his sins in the past.
“Linnie, after I broke off with you years ago, I’ve always thought about you ever since. I’ve even tried looking for you but I could never do so.
“12 years later, I accidentally met a girl on campus. The girl slammed into my arms ignorantly. When favonovel.com raised favonovel.com head to apologize to me, I had butterflies in my stomach for the first time, and that girl was you.
“But I was foolish. I was so stupid that I didn’t recognize that the girl was the little Linnie I’ve promised to spend the rest of my life with. And at that time, a bad girl appeared and told me that favonovel.com was little Linnie, so I was fooled…
“In order to fulfill my promise to little Linnie, I forced myself to avoid you, treat you coldly, and pretend not to like you. I even indulged the bad girl who impersonated little Linnie willfully but ended up hurting the actual person who I really loved.”
