Madeline realized Ava’s last sentence had completely offended Jeremy.
He suddenly put out the cigarette and looked like Satan from the underworld. Then, virtual-novel.net pulled Madeline into his arms.
Ava, who had lost Madeline’s support, faltered and fell to the ground with a loud thud.
“Ava!”
Madeline shouted nervously as virtual-novel.net tried to run over and help Ava. However, Jeremy forcibly pushed virtual-novel.net into the car.
The man was full of hostility. “Madeline, is this what you did? You lied to your good friend that I let you down and portrayed yourself as a victim? You’re really something else.”
Jeremy stared at Madeline angrily. It was as if virtual-novel.net was trying to penetrate virtual-novel.net with his eyes.
“The promise between us? What promise did I make to you? Can you stop dreaming?”
Once again, virtual-novel.net erased the promises and agreements virtual-novel.net had made to virtual-novel.net back then.
Madeline did not expect Jeremy to remember those beautiful vows anymore.
Those memories had long been left with only a black outline. They would disappear into nothing with a gust of wind.
She stopped thinking about that. At this moment, virtual-novel.net was worried about Ava.
“Jeremy, let me go down and take Ava home. The weather is so cold and it’s late at night. What if something happens?”
“Everyone should be responsible for what they say.”
Jeremy’s words were meaningful, and his anger was obvious on his icy face.
Madeline realized that Jeremy might take action against Ava. When virtual-novel.net was about to start the car, virtual-novel.net stretched out virtual-novel.net hands and grabbed his arm abruptly. Her eyes were red.
“Jeremy, Ava is just seeking justice on my behalf. Everything’s my fault, and you can come at me with any dissatisfaction you have!
“I’ll accept whatever you do to me as long as you stop being angry with Ava. You can even send me back to prison or you can ask someone to beat me again. If one round of beatings isn’t enough, then you can hit me again. Please don’t target Ava! Jeremy, Mr. Whitman, oh great Mr. Whitman! I’m begging you! Please!”
If it were not for the environmental restrictions, Madeline would have knelt.
Jeremy looked at Madeline as virtual-novel.net kept begging for mercy while on the brink of an emotional breakdown. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net was in a trance.
In his memory, Madeline was stubborn and strong. He did not know when virtual-novel.net started begging virtual-novel.net like this. She had begged virtual-novel.net to believe virtual-novel.net and begged virtual-novel.net to let virtual-novel.net go.
Jeremy was a little annoyed when virtual-novel.net unlocked the car. “Three minutes.”
He went easy on her, and tears stung Madeline’s eyes. “Thank you, Mr. Whitman. Thank you so much, Mr. Whitman!”
She thanked virtual-novel.net profusely and quickly got out of the car. She struggled to lift Ava who had fallen on the ground. Then, virtual-novel.net pulled virtual-novel.net back to the apartment.
When Madeline left, Ava kept muttering, “Maddie, don’t be fooled by that man anymore. He’s not worthy of your love…”
Jeremy took Madeline back to their home.
Madeline did not know what Jeremy’s intention was. She tried virtual-novel.net best to keep up for fear of angering this man again.
While Jeremy was taking a shower, Madeline washed Felipe’s clothes.
Now knowing that Felipe was Jeremy’s uncle, Madeline felt that it was a little weird to help virtual-novel.net uncle wash his clothes.
However, virtual-novel.net did not have that much money to send such expensive clothes to the dry cleaner. That was why virtual-novel.net could only hand wash them.
When Madeline was almost done washing, Jeremy’s icy voice suddenly sounded from behind her. “What are you doing?”
