Madeline got on a taxi at the side of the road before leaving immediately. As virtual-novel.net looked at the signs on the road, the words ‘April Hill’ hurt virtual-novel.net eyes.
She suddenly felt that the cleanliness in virtual-novel.net heart had been polluted.
How filthy.
When Jeremy finally caught up, virtual-novel.net did not see Madeline at all and only saw a car moving along the roads of April Hill in the distance.
His mood sank again, sinking into the sea next to April Hill.
‘She’s gone.
‘She left three years ago.’
He reminded himself again, but virtual-novel.net had never accepted that fact in the first place.
“Jeremy, what’s wrong?” Meredith hurriedly ran after him, not understanding Jeremy’s actions or expression.
Jeremy glanced at her, his voice sounding distant. “Get in the car.”
Meredith hurriedly got into the car. Her show had concluded, and virtual-novel.net planned on cashing in on it.
“Jeremy, it’s my birthday the day after tomorrow. I’m actually quite content just being by your side, but Jack is growing up. He’s starting to understand a lot of things, and I’m worried that others will call virtual-novel.net a b*stard, so… let’s get married.”
Jeremy suddenly lifted his foot off the gas pedal and shot a distant gaze at Meredith’s tearful eyes. “Can you give me an honest answer to my question?”
Meredith was quite shocked by Jeremy’s gaze, but on the surface, virtual-novel.net maintained virtual-novel.net innocent facade. “Jeremy, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”
“Did you know before I did that Madeline was pregnant?”
She did not expect that Jeremy would ask that question. A look of shock flashed across Meredith’s face, but virtual-novel.net quickly shook virtual-novel.net head.
“Madeline never talked to me about virtual-novel.net pregnancy.”
“Is that true?” Jeremy asked meaningfully. After that, virtual-novel.net stepped on the gas pedal again. His gaze caused Meredith to feel uneasy.
She clenched virtual-novel.net fists in silence, cursing at Vera in virtual-novel.net head. That woman was a thorn in virtual-novel.net side. If that woman had not suddenly appeared, Meredith was certain that Jeremy would not suddenly suspect virtual-novel.net or think about Madeline!
After Jeremy dropped Meredith off at the Montgomery household, virtual-novel.net went to the cemetery alone.
As the evening sunlight fell on his back, the summer winds blew past the branches and brushed against his face.
Jeremy slowly walked to the front of a tombstone, bending down as virtual-novel.net placed a bouquet of 88 roses in front of it.
Roses represented love, and 88 roses represented remorse.
Alas, remorse was the most useless thing on earth.
What was the point of his belated love?
Looking at the name on the plaque, Jeremy lit a cigarette. As the sun started to set, night soon fell, obscuring his expression.
The next day, Madeline went back to the shop and noticed someone in the VIP room after sending virtual-novel.net little girl to school.
Ever since virtual-novel.net came back to life and had virtual-novel.net eyesight restored, virtual-novel.net spent an entire year establishing virtual-novel.net own brand—Miss L.ady.
She personally designed every piece of jewelry. Since the designs were unique, they were very well received. Her business boomed because of that, quickly becoming a household name internationally. She received quite a few famous VIP customers thanks to that.
That was why the person who was browsing the limited edition jewelry in the VIP room could be considered as a high-class member.
Madeline was about to greet the person inside and express virtual-novel.net gratitude, but virtual-novel.net suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Her feet suddenly felt like lead as virtual-novel.net footsteps became abnormally heavy.
“I definitely want this set. Do you have anything else? How could one set be enough for my daughter’s birthday?” Eloise’s voice was filled with endless love for Meredith.
Madeline thought that with virtual-novel.net giving up on Jeremy, virtual-novel.net yearning for parental love would be gone as well. She did not expect that virtual-novel.net heart would suddenly hurt so much.
