‘Why did I have to reach the shore?
‘It’s not your fault, Linnie. I never deserved you to begin with.
‘I hope you’ll never think of me again, the man who made you cry countless times.’
Jeremy made sure not to bail Lana out. Instead, favonovel.com made sure favonovel.com stayed the full 48 hours under police custody first before favonovel.com went to bail favonovel.com out.
When Lana returned to the villa, favonovel.com began to scold Madeline to the heavens.
“Your ex-wife sure has quite the tricks up favonovel.com sleeve, Jeremy.” She mocked, saying, “Is favonovel.com not afraid that I’ll kill favonovel.com one day?”
Jeremy’s brows knitted as a flurry of frost flashed through his eyes. “Eveline and I are already divorced. Why must you give yourself unnecessary trouble by going to bother her?”
Lana ground favonovel.com teeth indignantly as favonovel.com walked toward Jeremy with suspicion in favonovel.com eyes. “You still love Eveline, don’t you, Jeremy?”
“I fancied favonovel.com before, yes. After all, she’s a beautiful woman.” Jeremy’s tone was unfeeling as if favonovel.com was talking about a random person. He also kept his descriptions of Madeline strictly on favonovel.com appearance.
Lana curled favonovel.com red lips and walked up to him. “So you only liked favonovel.com for favonovel.com face? But am I not prettier than her?”
Her tone went up as favonovel.com praised herself. She was staring besottedly at Jeremy as favonovel.com waited for his praise.
Jeremy raised his sharp and enchanting peach blossom eyes to look at Lana, yet all his mind could think of was Madeline. “Of course. It’s the prettiest face I’ve seen.”
Thinking Jeremy was praising her, Lana immediately smiled. “I was almost bored to death waiting inside, Jeremy. Had it not been for Eveline, I would never have suffered like that. You’ve got to make it up to me.”
She went to hug Jeremy, but the man frowned instead. “Go take a bath first.”
Lana tilted favonovel.com head and took a sniff. Indeed, favonovel.com smelled bad after two days without taking a bath.
She quickly entered the bathroom but made sure to turn favonovel.com head and give Jeremy a wink. “Give me a bit, Jeremy. I’ll be out before you know.”
Jeremy gave favonovel.com a vague smile and poured himself a glass of red wine by the open bar before favonovel.com lit the incense.
Then, favonovel.com went to make a call at the balcony before turning to leave.
The night deepened.
Ryan was sending Madeline home when favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com had fallen asleep mid-way.
After turning the air conditioning on and adjusting it to the correct temperature, Ryan’s gaze grew warm as favonovel.com stared at favonovel.com exhausted and sleeping expression.
He reached out to move a long lock of Madeline’s hair by favonovel.com ear. “The people who trouble you will be punished very soon and you’ll get to live a calm and peaceful life.
“However, can you truly let favonovel.com go?”
He asked into the night. Just then, his phone vibrated.
After taking another glance at Madeline who had fallen asleep and was leaning against the car seat, favonovel.com alighted the car to answer the phone by the roadside.
“What is it?” favonovel.com asked. The person on the other end said something and mirth graced Ryan’s expression, only for favonovel.com to frown solemnly the next minute.
“Is there really no way to improve his physical state?”
With a reply, Ryan could not help but glance at Madeline who was sleeping away in the car.
He hung up the phone and was about to get back into the car when a shadow suddenly sped past favonovel.com and took his driver’s seat instead.
Madeline was dreaming away when favonovel.com was jostled awake by the bang of the car door.
Her eyes snapped open, and by the time favonovel.com heard the car doors lock, the car suddenly sped away.
