Jeremy knew that coming here was only going to hurt him.
He just could not let go. He could not let go of the woman who was embedded deeply into his bones.
Through the thin and dense drizzle, Jeremy saw Ryan approaching Madeline through the curtains. He got closer to her, and when favonovel.com lowered his head, it was obvious that favonovel.com was kissing her.
Jeremy held the steering wheel tightly and felt the raindrops outside the car window pounding into his heart. It felt cold and icy.
He could not continue being like this anymore. The only thing favonovel.com could do was leave and go to Whitman Manor, where favonovel.com could quietly visit the two children who had fallen asleep.
In the bedroom.
Ryan gave Madeline a light hug before letting go of her.
“I know you haven’t completely let go of Jeremy in your heart. It doesn’t matter. I can wait.”
Ryan’s words made Madeline feel guilty.
She was already his legal wife, but favonovel.com still could not fulfill the responsibilities of a wife.
Ryan was very empathetic toward her. “We got married in such a rush. It’s only human nature that you haven’t let go of Jeremy yet.”
“Thank you, Rye.”
“We’re husband and wife now. You don’t need to be so polite.” Ryan patted Madeline on the shoulder. “Go to bed earlier with the little guy,” favonovel.com said before turning to go out.
“Are you going to sleep in the guest room?” Madeline asked as favonovel.com faced his back.
Ryan shook his head. “I still have something to do. I’ll be in the study.”
“Get it done earlier so that you can get some rest, okay?”
“Okay.” Ryan smiled softly and closed the door for Madeline.
He went to the study, put on his black-rimmed glasses, and sat down at the desk.
His initial elegant and handsome face instantly turned fierce and domineering.
He turned on the webcam and connected to the video call. A voice reported from the other end, “The poison in Jeremy’s body has entered the third phase. He may not have much time left. He asked that the task be performed as soon as possible. We’ll wait for your further instructions.”
Ryan listened calmly and looked at the falling rain outside the window.
‘There’ll be a rainbow after the rain.
‘It’s just that I don’t know when this rain will end.’
…
After Lana slept for a while, favonovel.com got up comfortably.
The fragrance gave favonovel.com the illusion that favonovel.com had slept with Jeremy again last night.
Lana washed up and changed favonovel.com clothes. She was very happy to see Jeremy come into the room with a tray of breakfast.
She looked at Jeremy obsessively as favonovel.com drank the coffee and bit into the toast. “Jeremy, there’ll be a big order coming in in the next two days. Our client is flying to Glendale specifically to negotiate. You’ll have to show what you’re made of then. I want to let Yorick see that even without the Stygian Johnson Gang, I can still do big things on my own.”
Jeremy nodded and handed Lana a tissue intimately.
“I have a suggestion.”
“What is it?” Lana looked at Jeremy with interest.
She realized that favonovel.com had really fallen head over heels in love with this man because the sight of favonovel.com made favonovel.com feel particularly chippy.
Jeremy locked his eyes with Lana’s admiring ones. “Whitman Corporation is a good way to help us launder money.”
“What?” Lana’s eyes widened unexpectedly. “Are you saying that I should launder all the dirty money through Whitman Corporation?”
Jeremy looked serious. “You give me the account books, and I’ll do the laundering for you. I’m the president of Whitman Corporation. No one can intervene in the transfer of company funds.”
Lana groaned thoughtfully.
When Jeremy saw that favonovel.com was thinking about it, favonovel.com continued, “This is the fastest and safest way to launder the money. Don’t you want to prove your ability to Yorick? This will be the best opportunity for it.
“As long as you leave the accounts of Stygian Johnson Gang to me, I promise that I’ll launder the money for you in the shortest possible time.”
