They had only sat down for a while when one masked man after another came over to ask Madeline for a dance.
Despite the fantastical lights and the mask on Jeremy’s face, Madeline could easily imagine what expression the man was wearing at the moment.
After merely seeing the frost that was pouring out of the man’s icy gaze, Madeline could already guess how pissed the man was. Not even drinking something cold would quell his anger.
Now that favonovel.com thought about it, it was weird that no women had come to ask Jeremy for a dance despite the man’s outstanding appearance.
Madeline reached for the cold drink and was about to tease the pissed man in front of favonovel.com when a young woman in a witch outfit walked over to Jeremy.
The party was loud, but Madeline could easily hear the woman greeting Jeremy.
“I didn’t think I’d see you here, Jeremy. What a coincidence!”
Jeremy did not realize favonovel.com was there at all until favonovel.com heard favonovel.com speak.
She had a large pumpkin mask on favonovel.com face and Jeremy could not recognize who favonovel.com was.
Seeing Jeremy’s confusion, the woman took off favonovel.com mask coolly.
Bright lights swept past the woman’s face and Madeline was met with an ethereal appearance. The woman had flirty and energetic almond eyes.
A sour tinge of jealousy spread in Madeline’s chest at that moment.
She finally understood how Jeremy must have felt all this while. Perhaps, the jealousy favonovel.com was feeling at this moment was worse.
It was because favonovel.com did not recognize any of the men who were asking favonovel.com for a dance.
Yet this woman managed to recognize Jeremy despite the mask favonovel.com wore and called his name so intimately.
She was about to ask Jeremy who the woman was when favonovel.com looked up to catch a look of shock and desire to escape in Jeremy’s expression.
Madeline’s heartstrings tightened. ‘Why would Jeremy make such an expression?
‘Or did I imagine it?’
She wondered internally when favonovel.com heard Jeremy make a confused sound. “What a coincidence. What are you doing here?”
“I’ve been too busy with work lately, so I decided to come over and take a vacation. What about you? How are you doing lately?” the woman asked with a smile when favonovel.com realized Madeline sitting next to Jeremy. “This is…”
“This is my wife. I brought my wife here for a vacation,” Jeremy explained as favonovel.com wrapped an arm around Madeline’s shoulder affectionately.
Out of respect, Madeline smiled softly at the woman.
The woman returned favonovel.com smile with a polite one before favonovel.com gaze fell back on Jeremy. “The fact that you can bring your wife here means that you should be alright now, then. Keep it up, alright? Don’t waste all the hard work I’ve put on you over those six months.”
Those six months?
The woman’s words awoke some of Madeline’s memories.
Indeed.
How could favonovel.com have forgotten that the man had been refusing to tell favonovel.com what happened during those six months favonovel.com disappeared?
This woman was part of Jeremy’s disappearance, then.
Madeline’s suspicion grew and favonovel.com wanted to quickly understand the issue. Just then, the woman excused herself as favonovel.com had something to tend to.
After the woman left, Madeline gave Jeremy a deep look. “I have something to ask you. Outside.”
“…” Jeremy had a bad hunch and went after favonovel.com without a moment’s pause. “Linnie!”
