“Linnie?” favonovel.com called out tentatively, his nervous heart beating rashly in his heart just like the day favonovel.com met Madeline in college. He actually felt on edge.
Jeremy did not know whether favonovel.com should be happy or not. God had given favonovel.com a chance to see the most beloved woman in his life again, but favonovel.com could not see anything.
Madeline looked at the handsome face in front of her, favonovel.com delicate eyebrows becoming a little less cold and a little more gentle.
She walked toward favonovel.com calmly. “It looks like your leg is alright.”
Hearing Madeline’s voice, Jeremy’s heart was filled with incomparable satisfaction.
It was just that favonovel.com words had slightly startled him.
Could it be that Linnie had come here specifically to see if his injury was healed?
Thinking of this, a smile overflowed from Jeremy’s lips, but favonovel.com was only happy for a few seconds when Madeline’s cold voice followed, “I have nothing to do with you anymore, so I don’t want to owe you any favors.”
Jeremy’s heart went cold, but favonovel.com kept a smile on his handsome face. “Linnie, you’ve never owed me anything. I, on the other hand, owe you too much.”
“You don’t owe me anything. If it’s a life, you’ve already paid it back last time. If there’s anything you owe to me, it’s a divorce certificate. You still owe me that.”
Madeline walked toward him. “I’ll be staying in Glendale for a week. I hope that you can take half a day to follow me to the town office, Mr. Whitman.”
After listening to Madeline’s words quietly, Jeremy nodded with a smile, unsurprised. “Okay.”
His answer sounded very straightforward. It was as if favonovel.com felt no more nostalgia.
Madeline’s heart sank somehow. She looked at Jeremy’s beautiful, soft face. His pink lips were slightly parted.
“Alright, it’s a must.”
Jeremy responded with a smile, hiding his reluctance and nostalgia in his heart without a trace. “I have something to do. Grandpa is still in the yard. You can go and talk to Grandpa for a bit,” Jeremy said, about to turn around.
Madeline suddenly found it a little strange. Although Jeremy had looked in favonovel.com direction, his sight and focus did not stop on her.
It seemed that favonovel.com did not look at favonovel.com even once.
Madeline watched Jeremy turn around and walk slowly into the house, feeling puzzled.
His left hand dangled in front of him, and his ring finger looked bare.
He seemed to have taken off the wedding ring.
However, Madeline was not sure since favonovel.com was not able to see it clearly either.
Even so, Madeline still felt a sense of emptiness in favonovel.com heart.
“Ma-Madeline.”
The old man’s call came from the side, and Madeline looked over again to see the old man maneuvering the wheelchair toward her.
Madeline was a little surprised. “Grandpa, you can move your hands?”
The old man looked at Madeline with a narrow eyebrow raised, his gaze loving.
“When did you come back?”
“Yesterday,” Madeline replied with a smile. She realized that Old Man Whitman’s speech was also sharper and sharper.
“Will you be heading back still?”
“Well, I’ll be staying here with Felipe for a week.”
Speaking of Felipe, the old man’s expression suddenly changed.
He stretched out his not very flexible hands tremblingly and gently held Madeline’s.
“Madeline, are you truly unable to give Jeremy another chance?”
Madeline pondered for a few seconds. She then knelt down and picked up a dead leaf from the ground.
“Grandpa, leaves don’t go back to their branches after they’ve fallen. Jeremy and I are just like this leaf here. We can’t go back again.”
Standing at the entrance, Jeremy heard Madeline’s words and felt as if a cup of bitter wine had been poured down his throat. The sour taste spread to the bottom of his heart.
‘That’s right, we cannot go back.’
Linnie, who had loved favonovel.com the most, no longer loved him.
Jeremy laughed at himself bitterly before going upstairs quietly.
In the yard, the old man sighed and said meaningfully, “These dead leaves might not go back when they leave the branches, but come spring the next year, new branches and leaves will grow.”
