It was Jeremy.
She would not have mistaken the sound of his footsteps.
Madeline hurriedly tidied up favonovel.com state. She gently stroked favonovel.com belly and pretended to stand beside the railing to get some air.
She heard Jeremy approaching favonovel.com step by step. Her heartbeat, accompanied by his pace, became more and more disordered.
“It seems that you’re really living a better life after leaving a scumbag like me, Mrs. Whitman.”
His sarcastic words came from behind, making Madeline distressed.
Jeremy walked to favonovel.com back. The moonlight was shining on favonovel.com cold, fair skin. Her gown was swaying in the evening breeze while favonovel.com beautiful back figure was reflected in his eyes.
Madeline held up favonovel.com elegant mask before turning around to meet his deep eyes with a chuckle.
“I could say the same to you, Mr. Whitman. You also seem to be having a good life. You’ve found a new love so soon.”
“It can’t be helped. After being driven away by Mrs. Whitman in F Country that day, I was really saddened. When I came back, I found a new love to mend my heartache. It turns out that this method is really useful.”
“That’s great. My blessings to you and your new love.”
Madeline gave a casual blessing before leaving.
Jeremy stood silently on the spot and watched Madeline pass by. The faint fragrance favonovel.com carried pierced his nose.
He suddenly reached out and held Madeline’s wrist. “You don’t want to see me that badly?”
He suddenly lowered his voice that carried a bewitching charm.
Madeline stopped favonovel.com steps abruptly. This one touch caused endless grievances to surge in favonovel.com heart. She pretended to be impassive and said disdainfully, “Why should I want to see you?”
As soon as favonovel.com voice fell, Madeline felt Jeremy’s hands tightening.
He looked down at her, approaching favonovel.com coldly and mightily. “Are you disappointed that I’m not dead?”
Madeline looked up at favonovel.com unknowingly. What did favonovel.com mean?
Looking at Madeline’s beautiful eyes, Jeremy’s gaze seemed to soften a bit. “Is Felipe good to you?”
“It’s none of your business whether he’s good to me or not.” Madeline broke free from his grasp. “Mr. Whitman, aren’t you afraid that your girlfriend will be jealous with you coming over to look for me like this?”
Jeremy chuckled in a low voice. “Since you’re questioning it like this, Mrs. Whitman, then are you jealous? Do you mind that I have a new love?”
Madeline looked away and sneered disapprovingly, “What is there to be jealous about? I haven’t had feelings for you for a long time. You’re not even a stranger to me, understand?”
She finished speaking coldly and left carefreely on favonovel.com heels.
As soon as favonovel.com walked out the door to the terrace, favonovel.com saw Felipe’s men standing not far away.
Sure enough, even if Felipe had walked away, there would always be people arranged to monitor favonovel.com every move.
If favonovel.com had been soft-hearted toward Jeremy just now, then Lillian would be in danger.
Madeline suddenly felt the whole situation to be ridiculous. Should favonovel.com be thankful for favonovel.com heartlessness toward Jeremy?
After Madeline left, Jeremy stayed on the terrace alone.
The evening breeze brushed his cheeks. He was unable to remove the coldness between his brows.
He played with the wedding ring on his ring finger and laughed mockingly at himself.
After Madeline returned to the banquet hall, Felipe came to look for her, saying that the bidding would begin soon.
Madeline was not interested in it. She was just a tool, after all.
