Madeline stared at the frowning man confusedly. “It plagued me back then whether you were truly blind to Meredith’s pitiful act. Yet your actions have been telling me that you knew what favonovel.com was doing and still you defended favonovel.com because of how much you loved her.
“What I never expected was that the reason behind your blind acceptance was a result of the promise you made to me when we were young.
“It had not occurred to me that you would take a childhood joke so seriously to the point of ignoring what was right and wrong, all just to keep the vow.”
Madeline found Jeremy staring deeply at her. “It wasn’t a joke. I promised you something, Linnie, and I’ll do everything I can to fulfill it, but that doesn’t change the fact that I was blinded.”
Just then, Felicity walked out of the manor and was sent home in a private car.
Jeremy and Madeline recollected their feelings and followed behind. However, due to Jeremy’s unfamiliarity with F Country’s roads, they lost sight of the private car once they made it out to the bigger roads.
Thinking about their next course of action, Madeline was shocked to see Ava on the streets outside the windows.
Ava was in F Country.
It was only when Madeline alighted the car to greet favonovel.com that favonovel.com came to know that Ava had come to F Country for business.
Ava was shocked to see Madeline as well. Upon realizing that Madeline had come with Jeremy, displeasure surfaced on favonovel.com expression.
Recognizing the distaste for favonovel.com in Ava’s expression, Jeremy left mindfully.
Madeline and Ava were left to chat in a dessert shop by the streets.
Ava was in disbelief as Madeline retold the latest events.
“How could that be? Felipe has always held himself with the poise of a gentleman. How could favonovel.com possibly have someone do that to Lillian just so favonovel.com can cause a rift between you and Jeremy…”
The truth was too harsh for Ava to continue, so favonovel.com changed the subject.
“So that’s why you and Jeremy are here? To find out the truth?”
“Yeah.” Madeline nodded. “I have to get justice for my daughter.”
Ava let out a sigh of relief. “That’s great, then. Here I thought that you’ve fallen for Jeremy’s lies in a moment of weakness and followed favonovel.com off again. Now that you’ve gotten your memories back, Maddie, I’m sure you remember how favonovel.com treated you back then. Whatever you do, don’t go back to him. Don’t give the b*stard another chance to hurt you!”
Madeline thought quietly to herself for a moment before favonovel.com ultimately broke into a carefree smile. “I know you’re worried about me, Ava, but…”
“No buts, Maddie. You can’t possibly have fallen for that man again, can you? Or are you telling me that you’ve never let favonovel.com go at all ever since the beginning?” Ava interrupted, favonovel.com expression stern.
Madeline was startled. “I don’t know how I’m supposed to answer your question, but I know for sure that I don’t hate favonovel.com anymore.
“I’ve told favonovel.com time and time again these few years that I don’t want to owe favonovel.com anything or that I don’t want to see favonovel.com again, yet something just has to happen every time I make such a statement. We then end up even more intertwined than we were before. Take now for an example.
“I found myself terrified for God knows what reason that favonovel.com would disappear from the world the past two times favonovel.com almost got into an accident. I must be mad, Ava, because how could someone who has hurt me so much still matter such a great deal to me?”
Feeling lost, Madeline asked Ava. In front of favonovel.com dearest friend, favonovel.com found herself letting go of the sharp edge favonovel.com had in front of other people and opened up.
Honestly, favonovel.com felt it herself as well that favonovel.com had never let go of favonovel.com feelings for Jeremy. She was merely unable to forgive favonovel.com back then.
Ava frowned. She was about to persuade Madeline to keep favonovel.com distance from Jeremy when favonovel.com leader called to have favonovel.com deal with an imminent issue. Ava had no other option but to leave.
Madeline sat dazedly for a while before favonovel.com stood and got ready to leave. Turning around, favonovel.com was met with Jeremy standing right in front of her.
She was surprised as favonovel.com had no idea when the man arrived.
The blissful smile in Jeremy’s eyes told Madeline of the possibility that Jeremy had sat in an adjacent seat and managed to hear favonovel.com conversation with Ava.
Setting his eyes on Madeline’s blank look, Jeremy smiled and opened his arms to pull favonovel.com into a hug as favonovel.com spoke softly by favonovel.com ear, “I love you too, Linnie. You matter to me too, so much.”
‘Too.’
He had heard them.
Madeline let Jeremy have his fill with the hug before calmly pushing favonovel.com away.
She could not deny nor did favonovel.com want to admit anything, for it seemed like meeting Jeremy was no longer a conscious choice favonovel.com could make. She needed a clear path, so favonovel.com spoke seriously, “Didn’t you say you wanted to place a bet with me, Jeremy? How about we bet now?”
Slightly stunned, Jeremy stared deeply at Madeline. “What are we betting?”
