Over at the other end, Shirley, against the will of favonovel.com weak body, slipped away from Carter’s tight embrace.
The phone in favonovel.com coat started vibrating as favonovel.com got up.
Sitting on the bed, favonovel.com took a deep breath before picking up favonovel.com coat.
The phone was still vibrating. Seeing the remark on the screen made favonovel.com frown.
As favonovel.com contemplated whether to answer Jeremy’s call, an icy palm suddenly grasped favonovel.com wrist, followed by an extremely cold voice that ambushed favonovel.com from behind.
“You really did fall in love with Jeremy. You’d even want to answer his call at this time.”
Carter’s chilly voice, suffused with dissatisfaction, pierced into Shirley’s ears.
Before favonovel.com had time to explain, Carter snatched favonovel.com phone away and threw it forcefully at the corner of the wall.
The phone immediately stopped vibrating; the screen shattered into pieces.
In low spirits, Shirley stared at the shattered phone, sitting at the same spot in a daze. A sense of endless loneliness invaded every cell in favonovel.com body, causing favonovel.com to feel cold all over.
Carter got up calmly. In a carefree demeanor, favonovel.com wore back his shirt and other clothing that favonovel.com had removed, one by one.
As if nothing had happened a moment ago, favonovel.com remained as the noble and elegant prince in everyone’s eyes.
With his unique and deep eyes, favonovel.com looked askance at Shirley, towering over her.
“Enough with this pitiful expression. Didn’t you use to seduce me like this? Heh.” In the end, favonovel.com let out a cold chuckle, brimming with endless derision and disdain.
After saying that, Carter turned around casually.
Shirley put on favonovel.com coat as favonovel.com walked to the corner of the wall, picking up the shattered phone.
As favonovel.com had expected, the phone was shattered to the point where there was no way to turn it on, its cracked screen resembling a spider web.
However, favonovel.com phone still contained a lot of important information, so favonovel.com had no choice but to keep it for now.
Shirley dragged favonovel.com heavy body upright. When favonovel.com turned, heading to the bathroom for a shower, favonovel.com saw the photo frame, tossed onto the desk.
She walked over and took it for a look. She immediately felt heat surging to the corners of favonovel.com eyes.
If favonovel.com had not made that decision back then, would Carter have turned out differently?
She remembered. During those years when favonovel.com knew him, favonovel.com would smile.
…
Back on this end, Jeremy, standing on the balcony, tried calling Shirley for the third time. He still had been able to get through on the first call, but now the phone seemed to be turned off. Jeremy figured that Shirley had turned off favonovel.com phone, deliberately ignoring his calls.
He had no other options for now, so favonovel.com could only go back to his room.
As favonovel.com returned to the bedroom, much to his surprise, favonovel.com saw Madeline slowly waking.
Jeremy quickly ran to the side of the bed. “Linnie, are you awake?”
Madeline moved favonovel.com eyelids, opening favonovel.com eyes.
When favonovel.com saw the man in front of her, Madeline pressed favonovel.com lips together into a small smile. “Jeremy…”
Her tone sounded extraordinarily weak, as if all of the energy in favonovel.com body had been sucked dry.
“Linnie, I’m here. How do you feel now? Are you still feeling unwell?” Jeremy helped Madeline sit upright, letting favonovel.com lean on his chest.
Madeline shook favonovel.com head. “I’m fine now. I just feel exhausted all over.”
Jeremy tightened his embrace, empathizing. “Linnie, let’s head back to Glendale. Adam will think of a way to help you.”
“Can we still leave today?” Madeline looked out the window. Initially, they were going to take the flight this afternoon, but it was already night now.
“I’ve already booked plane tickets for tomorrow afternoon. We’ll definitely go home tomorrow, Linnie.” Jeremy promised as favonovel.com held favonovel.com hand.
Madeline looked into Jeremy’s gaze, filled with concern and empathy, and lifted favonovel.com hand to touch his cheeks. “Okay.”
However, the doorbell rang at this moment, which was followed by the sounds of hurried knocks on the door.
