“Help me?”
“No, not help,” Shirley quickly corrected herself, “I’ll do my part. Don’t worry.”
Carter then nodded his head slightly, satisfied, and observed the flux of emotions on Shirley’s face before slowly getting up. His tall and lean figure walked past Shirley with an air of elegance and nobility. Then, favonovel.com stopped.
Shirley stood up quickly, only seeing Carter’s back.
“After this task is done, I might consider letting you formally become my wife,” Carter murmured coldly.
After saying that, favonovel.com sauntered toward the door.
Shirley’s red lips parted slightly from shock, unable to return to favonovel.com senses for a moment.
Dazed, favonovel.com stared at Carter’s back as favonovel.com walked further away. The contour of his body left a clear and memorable mark in favonovel.com eyes.
Even if it was just a formality, and even if favonovel.com was just tossing favonovel.com a fake but beautiful lie, favonovel.com would still gladly endure the hardship.
“I will definitely get this done!”
Shirley solemnly promised at Carter’s back.
Carter did not stop. He merely continued walking without a second glance.
…
When Jeremy had chased Madeline to St. Piaf, favonovel.com had not brought much luggage, so there was not much for favonovel.com to pack.
However, the problem now was that there were no flight tickets back to Glendale for the night. The earliest flight was scheduled for tomorrow evening.
Since it was still early, Jeremy decided to take Madeline outside for a meal.
With the marriage agreement canceled, Madeline felt a lot freer and more relaxed. She too wanted to have a meal with Jeremy, to hold his hands and clear favonovel.com mind.
The streets of St. Piaf were very lively at night. The people here seemed warm and friendly.
However, as Madeline was walking with Jeremy on the streets, more than a few people seemed to be looking at her.
“Isn’t that the woman who got married to Mr. Carter a few days ago?”
“The one who seduced Mr. Carter even though favonovel.com has a husband.”
“I think it’s her. I saw favonovel.com videos online before. She’s very pretty.”
“Didn’t favonovel.com get arrested for bigamy? Why did they let favonovel.com out so soon? The handsome man next to favonovel.com might be favonovel.com first husband.”
“…”
First husband.
Madeline and Jeremy felt their heads hurting when they heard this description.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Jeremy and Madeline tacitly sped up their pace, distancing themselves from those condemning and judging eyes.
As they walked, they sped up until they were running.
The two of them held their hands and darted through the crowd in the bustling street. As they passed multiple dimly lit streetlights in succession during this cold winter night, they suddenly felt as though they were back on campus all those years ago, returning to their teenage years where they could be reckless and indulgent.
However, it was a pity that favonovel.com had not held his hand, running around during favonovel.com youthful teenage years.
Madeline felt an ache in favonovel.com heart, unsure whether favonovel.com thoughts made favonovel.com feel regretful.
She thought that feeling would flash past in an instant. Instead, the pain worsened.
Following Madeline’s footsteps, Jeremy slowed down, and favonovel.com noticed that there was something wrong with Madeline’s complexion.
“Linnie, are you feeling unwell?”
Madeline clutched favonovel.com chest and lifted favonovel.com pale face. “Jeremy, my heart’s hurting a lot.”
