Madeline watched the man walking toward favonovel.com and favonovel.com heart started racing.
She was pregnant and was worried that Jeremy would behave irrationally, so favonovel.com took a step back out of vigilance.
When Jeremy saw Madeline’s evasive behavior, favonovel.com curled the corner of his lips and said sarcastically, “Mrs. Whitman, are you worried that I’ll do something to you? Are you afraid that I’ll hurt Felipe’s child?”
“…”
She was indeed worried that the child inside of favonovel.com would get hurt, even though the child was Jeremy’s.
Madeline swallowed the secret down and said indifferently, “You’re right. The child inside of me is very important to me. So, Mr. Whitman, please act appropriately.”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, Madeline saw Jeremy’s eyes sink as they instantly looked colder.
“Since you’re so worried, take this umbrella so that you won’t catch a cold.”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com handed the umbrella in his palm to Madeline and took something out of his pocket.
Madeline looked intently at it. Amidst the drizzle, favonovel.com saw Jeremy holding a faded colorful seashell.
“Last time, you told me that you wanted to give everything back to me so that we won’t owe each other anything anymore. So, I’m giving you what I owe you.” It was obvious what Jeremy meant. It was just that Madeline had not expected it at all.
She gave that seashell to favonovel.com more than ten years ago and favonovel.com had always cherished it, but now favonovel.com was telling favonovel.com that favonovel.com wanted to return it to her.
‘So, is this what favonovel.com meant when favonovel.com said that I dropped something?’
When Jeremy saw that Madeline was confused, favonovel.com pursed his thin lips and laughed. “What are you thinking about, Mrs. Whitman? Don’t you want to clear everything up between us?”
When Madeline heard what favonovel.com said, favonovel.com looked at favonovel.com with a pretense of calmness. “You’re right. Since we want to clear everything up between us, we don’t need to keep any memorabilia of our past.”
She took out the bookmark that favonovel.com had kept carefully from the compartment of favonovel.com bag.
“I’ll give this back to you as well then, Mr. Whitman.” She handed it over.
Jeremy looked down at the bookmark. “Mrs. Whitman, have you been carrying this bookmark around with you? Is it because you still have a little nostalgia for a scumbag like me?”
“You’re wrong. I bring it around so that I can return it to you anytime and anywhere,” Madeline said nonchalantly, “Here, take it.”
Jeremy stretched out his hand and took the bookmark. “Since that’s the case, this bookmark is useless to you, right? You won’t mind what I do with it?”
“Of course,” Madeline said with disdain.
After favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com saw Jeremy turning around and throwing the bookmark into the burning brazier next to the tombstone.
Madeline’s heart felt as if it was torn abruptly. She felt an unexplainable pain.
He actually burned the bookmark.
“Now this is actually clearing everything up,” Jeremy said, turned around, and looked back.
Madeline pretended to be indifferent and looked at Jeremy coldly.
He walked toward favonovel.com and handed the seashell over. “Here, this is yours.”
Madeline stretched out favonovel.com palm at Jeremy. As favonovel.com reached out to place the seashell, their fingertips touched for a second. The very next second, favonovel.com let go.
“Eveline, from now on, there are no more ties between us. Don’t worry, I won’t follow you again, nor will I love you again.” His low and deep voice echoed in favonovel.com ears.
Jeremy brushed against Madeline’s shoulder when favonovel.com walked past her.
The seashell fell on Madeline’s feet with a clink as favonovel.com left.
Madeline suppressed the painful emotions that favonovel.com was feeling at that moment. When favonovel.com could tell that Jeremy had walked away, favonovel.com cautiously squatted down and picked up the seashell.
The words favonovel.com just said echoed in favonovel.com head. ‘Eveline, I won’t ever love you again.’
He did not love favonovel.com anymore.
That was why favonovel.com could burn the gift that favonovel.com had given favonovel.com back then.
