Guessing what had happened, favonovel.com quickly placed the menu down and ran after Madeline.
Standing in an empty corner in the underground car park, Madeline trembled and shook as favonovel.com heart ached with no sign of relief.
Watching Madeline try and suppress favonovel.com feelings alone in the corner, Ryan quickly made his way over.
Seeing favonovel.com agony, Ryan reached out for her. “If it’s too much, you can always choose to lean on my shoulders. I may not be the person you want to rely on the most, but I think I qualify enough as an escape.”
Madeline slowly looked up to stare at the gentle features in front of favonovel.com as favonovel.com tears began to fall.
Ryan took a step forward and opened his arms to pull Madeline into his chest.
Jeremy watched the scene from afar and felt his heart clench as pain consumed it.
Yet another uncomfortable feeling within his body reminded favonovel.com that giving favonovel.com away was the best and only choice favonovel.com could make.
Madeline cried for a long time before favonovel.com emotions began to calm.
Getting into the car, favonovel.com decided to text Jeremy to meet favonovel.com by the seaside of April Hill.
Seven o’clock that night, the man arrived on time.
The cold sea breeze blew. It was no longer salty and sweet like it used to be.
“Did you want to ask why I got together with Lana?” Jeremy asked straightforwardly, his tone cold and distant.
Madeline merely stared at the man’s calm expression silently.
From favonovel.com eyes, Jeremy read favonovel.com question. He approached favonovel.com with a smile and cupped favonovel.com cheeks with both his hands. “Eveline Montgomery, you will always be the woman I, Jeremy Whitman, love the most. But there’s also no way we can ever get back together.”
‘There’s no way, Linnie. Not even if you forgave me.’
His reply crushed Madeline’s heart and enraged her. “So you’ve decided to be with Lana? The person who used you to kill my parents?”
“Yeah. I got together with her. The gossip online is true. We’ve… slept together.”
His words shot through favonovel.com heart like a thousand arrows.
Trembling, favonovel.com pushed the man away while suppressing the heartbreak and tears. “Jeremy Whitman, you b*stard! I’m so disappointed in you! Tell me just what kind of man did I fall in love with all these years?”
Jeremy remained indifferent to Madeline’s disappointed reprimanding.
He pulled a box of cigarettes from his pocket. Lighting one between his fingers, favonovel.com took a drag.
Madeline could not suppress the tears at the sight and snatched the cigarette and its box before throwing them on the floor. Then, favonovel.com gave favonovel.com a harsh slap across his face.
“Do you somehow think that I exist for the sole purpose to be hurt by and for you? Why must you treat me like this, Jeremy? Am I not worthy of happy days at all?”
“You’re right, you should never have fallen for me at all.” Jeremy curled his lips faintly as favonovel.com stared at favonovel.com teary face. He secretly balled his fists to hide his trembling fingers. “It’s your biggest misfortune to have met me, Eveline. I cannot give you the happiness you deserve. All I give is pain, so stop loving me. I don’t want to be loved by you anymore.”
Slap!
Madeline placed all favonovel.com strength to leave a clear handprint on Jeremy’s cheek. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably as breathing itself started to feel like a difficult feat. “I don’t want to see you anymore. I don’t… After tonight, Jeremy Whitman, I won’t shed another tear for you. Not even in your death will I let my heart hurt for you again.”
She bit favonovel.com lip to ignore the searing ache in favonovel.com chest.
“I hate you! I hate you so much, Jeremy Whitman! I hate the fact that you’re not atoning for my parents’ death right now!”
