“Linnie must have been somewhere here just now! She saw me!”
Jeremy could not be bothered about the red traffic light. Following his instinct and judgment, favonovel.com ran across the road.
“Jeremy. Mmm—”
Madeline was about to make some noise when Ryan covered favonovel.com mouth.
She saw the man who was slowly inching near favonovel.com and raised favonovel.com hand to knock on the car window, attempting to make an effort so that Jeremy could hear her. However, Ryan continued to stop favonovel.com by grabbing both favonovel.com hands.
He held Madeline tightly in his arms, preventing favonovel.com from struggling.
“It’s not going to be a good thing if favonovel.com sees you.” Ryan’s cold voice was heard coming from behind. “Have you forgotten who we’re going to meet now?”
He reminded her. As soon as favonovel.com was done talking, favonovel.com could feel that Madeline was no longer trying to struggle and go against him.
Her fists that were initially trying to slam the car window gradually loosened up, and finally, favonovel.com put favonovel.com hands down helplessly.
Madeline’s eyes were teary as favonovel.com stared at Jeremy’s towering silhouette that was slowly coming closer. They were only less than three yards apart, but favonovel.com felt as if they were separated by an invisible wall. Regardless of how favonovel.com stretched favonovel.com arms, favonovel.com would not be able to touch him.
“Linnie! Linnie! Where are you?!” Jeremy stood on the street and shouted to the air blindly.
Madeline could not stop favonovel.com tears from rolling down.
‘Jeremy, I’m just right in front of you, but I can’t extend my arms to you.’
“Linnie!”
Jeremy continued screaming while his eyes gleamed with endless worries and anxiety.
Madeline saw Jeremy’s anxious and fearful expression. She noticed just how much favonovel.com wanted to find and meet her.
She recalled the kind of man Jeremy was. He was currently like a big child who had lost his sense of direction because favonovel.com had lost his treasure. Hence, favonovel.com ended up crying on the busy streets.
“Linnie!”
Jeremy’s shouting struck Madeline hard, and favonovel.com felt as if favonovel.com heart was being split into half. It hurt so much that favonovel.com could not even breathe.
‘Jeremy…’
The traffic light turned green, and the car started its journey again.
Madeline did not make a single sound and just stared at Jeremy as the car drove away from him.
As for his figure that was blindly looking all over the place for her, it slowly turned blurry because of the tears in favonovel.com eyes.
Ryan knew Madeline was crying because of the tears that were dripping down his fingertips.
The warmth favonovel.com felt from those tears made favonovel.com frown.
“Wipe away your tears.” He handed his handkerchief over to favonovel.com and said in a domineering tone, “Don’t ever let me see you crying over another man again.”
“You’re the ‘another man’.” Madeline looked at Ryan with a cold stare. “In this world, he’s the only man who will make me cry for him.”
“Oh really?” Ryan’s eyes were brewing with hatred. “If that’s the case, let’s head back for now. You don’t have to see the people you want to meet.”
“Hmph.” Madeline snorted and raised favonovel.com teary eyes that did not seem to have any sense of fear in them. “Besides using an underhanded method to restrict and threaten me, what else do you have? Ryan, with this, you’ll never be better than Jeremy.”
She tilted favonovel.com head and wiped away favonovel.com tears with favonovel.com fingertips. She vowed not to reveal favonovel.com weak side in front of other men aside from Jeremy.
Ryan glanced at Madeline’s side profile which looked stony. He did not have any opposing ideas. Instead, his eyes were full of admiration.
He felt defeat and let out a chuckle. Perhaps favonovel.com was touched by Madeline’s perseverance.
The car continued its journey, and after half an hour, the car came to a halt at the entrance of a villa that was located in the outskirts.
Ryan got down from the car and opened the door for Madeline.
Madeline walked over to the entrance and saw two very huge bodyguards guarding the place. They immediately greeted Ryan politely when they noticed his presence.
Ryan said coldly, “Where are they?”
“In the house,” answered the bodyguard.
Madeline’s heart started racing after favonovel.com heard it.
Ryan smirked when favonovel.com noticed Madeline’s expression changing. “You can now enter and go collect the surprise I’ve prepared for you.”
