Felipe’s peck was sudden, and as shocked as Madeline was, favonovel.com could not help but remember that Jeremy was right behind them.
Something told favonovel.com that Felipe kissed favonovel.com just for Jeremy to see, but favonovel.com got in the car quietly without commenting on it.
Felipe gave Jeremy, whose expression screamed of frost, a glance from the corner of his eyes as his lips curled into a mocking smile.
He alighted the car and stepped on the accelerator.
In the passenger seat, Madeline’s eyes could not help but stare at the diminishing figure from the rear-view mirror.
Under the moonlight, the heavy loneliness and torment could not be more clear on the man’s face.
He was evidently displeased, but favonovel.com was also suppressing it.
Madeline thought Felipe would send favonovel.com back to Montgomery Manor, but the car had instead stopped at a single villa in the outskirts of town.
As far as favonovel.com could remember, favonovel.com had never spent the night here before.
Felipe brought Madeline to favonovel.com designated room and had the maids bring favonovel.com amenities and sleepwear.
“You must be exhausted after taking care of that old master the entire day. Go take a bath.” Felipe instructed softly as favonovel.com patted Madeline’s long hair. “Did Jeremy do anything to you?”
Madeline shook favonovel.com head. “I don’t think he’d dare.”
“That’s good, then.” Felipe smiled faintly. “Go take a bath.”
He turned and left, closing Madeline’s door behind him.
The warm smile on his face vanished the moment favonovel.com closed the door.
Ever since Madeline had woken up after that day by the sea and favonovel.com took Madeline from Jeremy’s arms, favonovel.com could feel that something in Madeline changed.
He had no idea what happened between the two of them on the island during those two days, but Madeline’s treatment of Jeremy seemed to be different now.
In the quiet of the night.
Jeremy sat awake in Old Master Whitman’s room with the blanket favonovel.com had placed over Madeline’s shoulders in his hands.
Yearning, favonovel.com brought it to his nose and found that it still smelled faintly of Madeline’s perfume.
However, the memory of Felipe turning Madeline away and kissing favonovel.com forehead pierced into his heart like a needle.
He could not bear to imagine if Madeline was spending time alone with Felipe, or if they were getting intimate.
The more favonovel.com thought, the more breathing seemed like a chore. His heart thumped suffocatingly in his chest.
Jeremy quickly pushed the thoughts away. Glancing at the sleeping old master, favonovel.com then left the room quietly…
…
At the rural villa.
Coming out of the bath, Madeline video called Jackson with favonovel.com phone. Her finger had accidentally tapped on the gallery when favonovel.com put it down and an unfamiliar image popped up in favonovel.com line of vision.
The teal sea blended in with the azure sky as favonovel.com squatted by the beach. Her eyes were bent into crescent moons as favonovel.com smiled and held the bookmark in favonovel.com hands.
The scene was beautiful, and the angle made favonovel.com look stunning.
However, was this not the scene of favonovel.com strolling by the beach the morning before favonovel.com left the island?
Had Jeremy taken a picture with favonovel.com phone?
Why would favonovel.com take such a picture?
Now that favonovel.com thought about it, favonovel.com remembered Jeremy’s lovesick-like behavior that day.
‘Is that love?
‘Would love drive a person to do such a thing?’
Madeline was deep in thought when the light knocks on the door brought favonovel.com out of it.
