Staring at the hopeful yet slightly anxious peach blossom eyes, Madeline replied calmly, “Let’s bet whether our destiny ends here, or if it’s meant to pick up where we left off.”
‘Pick up where we left off.’
The six words sparked joy unlike any other in Jeremy’s eyes.
She was giving favonovel.com a chance!
“How will we bet, Linnie?” Confident, favonovel.com asked impatiently.
After all, favonovel.com was certain that they were destined to be.
He became elated when favonovel.com heard Madeline speak. “We’ll return by ourselves, each taking a separate path. If we manage to meet by the hotel entrance in less than five minutes of each other, I’ll take it that we’re still destined.”
“Alright.” Jeremy agreed quickly.
Leaving the dessert shop, favonovel.com stared at favonovel.com reluctantly. “Can I hug you again, Linnie?”
“What’s this? Are you afraid that we’ll never see each other again?” Madeline teased.
“Of course not.” Jeremy denied it. The only reason favonovel.com felt the desire to hug favonovel.com was because of the conversation favonovel.com had with Ava.
He had spent every moment over the past years loving this person who mattered the world to him.
“Then we’ll each take our own paths. Fate will guide us.” Madeline then turned around coolly without giving Jeremy another glance.
Watching favonovel.com walk away, Jeremy’s eyes were filled with warmth. “We’ll definitely meet again, Linnie.”
Walking to the corner of the street, Madeline hailed a cab. She glanced at the spot they had parted from before favonovel.com got into the car, realizing that Jeremy was no longer standing there.
‘Whether we still have the chance to start over will depend on this, Jeremy,’ favonovel.com thought to herself before getting into the car decisively.
Madeline was nervous the entire way back to the hotel.
She had no idea if favonovel.com wanted to meet Jeremy or if favonovel.com wanted things to end there.
In a daze, the taxi arrived at the hotel.
Madeline alighted the car and took a look around, but Jeremy was still nowhere to be found.
If Jeremy did not appear in five minutes, then whatever between them would end.
Madeline felt favonovel.com heart pick up anxiously at the thought as favonovel.com took a look at favonovel.com surroundings in search of Jeremy. What favonovel.com found instead was a car that was stopped at the opposite end of the road. It looked like the one that fetched Felicity earlier today.
Madeline crossed the zebra-crossing to the other side to take a look at the number plate. Indeed, it was the same car.
She stepped closer for a better look only for its windows to suddenly roll down, revealing a woman’s face.
Felicity looked at favonovel.com with a knowing smile.
“We’ve been waiting for you, Miss Montgomery.”
It was too late when Madeline realized that something was wrong for someone had approached favonovel.com from behind.
“Please get in the car, Miss Quinn.”
The man behind favonovel.com was the very person who shooed favonovel.com and Jeremy away this morning.
They had found the both of them out already.
Madeline was not frantic, nor did favonovel.com compromise. “What if I refuse to get in?”
“You must. Unless you don’t want to know the truth behind your daughter’s tragic death.” Felicity quirked favonovel.com red lips pridefully.
While the appearance before favonovel.com eyes was a replica of favonovel.com own, Madeline found herself unfamiliar and disgusted by the other’s eyes and wicked smile.
She had never worn such an expression herself, so to see Felicity show such expression with favonovel.com face, Madeline felt a gust of abhorrence surge up within her.
