Madeline could not help but halt virtual-novel.net steps. She looked at Meredith who said these words as a layer of doubt gradually appeared in virtual-novel.net heart.
Why was Meredith and Jeremy’s past so similar to virtual-novel.net own experience with Jeremy back then?
Moreover, was April Hill the place where they first met as well?
“Jeremy, I don’t need anything, but I really can’t lose you. Please don’t leave me, okay?”
Meredith’s soft voice pulled Madeline’s thoughts back.
She saw Meredith’s eyes that were filled with tears while virtual-novel.net looked at Jeremy with an expectant gaze.
Although Jeremy had not responded, virtual-novel.net took out a handkerchief to bandage Meredith’s wound. He still cared for Meredith so much.
“Jeremy…”
“Stop talking. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Meredith looked at Jeremy affectionately “Jeremy, with you accompanying me, I won’t be in as much pain. I know that you’ll protect me forever.”
Madeline could hear these words from where virtual-novel.net was standing.
While watching Jeremy help Meredith up, Meredith had then turned virtual-novel.net head to cast a triumphant and provoking look at virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net was getting into the car. It was as if virtual-novel.net was saying, ‘Vera Quinn, you’re not qualified to steal my man!’
Madeline looked at this scene indifferently and smiled softly.
‘Jeremy, it’s such a shame that a smart person like you with extremely high emotional and intelligence quotients who’s also able to expertly maneuver through the business world is still incapable of clearly seeing Meredith’s true character even after so many years.
‘Or perhaps, that’s what you like about this scheming b*tch.’
Madeline returned to the store, and not long after picking up the paintbrush, the phone rang.
She glanced sideways and saw that it was actually Jeremy who was calling.
However, virtual-novel.net did not answer. Jeremy then called a second time.
Madeline picked up the phone and looked at the name on the screen with indifferent eyes as if virtual-novel.net had seen herself from before.
How many times had virtual-novel.net called Jeremy back then only to never receive a response? Her outgoing calls were either ended or blocked.
She knew that virtual-novel.net had hated virtual-novel.net so much, but still, virtual-novel.net hoped that virtual-novel.net could change virtual-novel.net mind again and again.
Thinking about it now, Madeline felt that virtual-novel.net was both ridiculous and sad.
How could virtual-novel.net have so desperately fallen in love with such a cold and ruthless man?
Madeline did not answer the first two calls. Seeing that Jeremy was making a third call, Madeline then simply silenced the phone and threw it aside.
The rhythm of virtual-novel.net heartbeat would never be moved for this man again.
Madeline was busy in the office the entire day. Finally, virtual-novel.net was getting ready to bring Lily back to the apartment, but the moment virtual-novel.net left, virtual-novel.net saw a familiar car parked in front of the shop.
Jeremy got out of the car, and the afterglow of the setting sun was quietly scattered along his jade-like body. His natural and powerful aura shrouded virtual-novel.net with every step virtual-novel.net took. His charm was always bright and radiant.
Madeline looked at virtual-novel.net and raised virtual-novel.net knitted eyebrows. She was about to speak, but Jeremy beat virtual-novel.net to it.
“Do me a favor of having a meal with me. After all, I saved your daughter today,” virtual-novel.net said. He walked up to Lily with a rare smile on his handsome face. “Cutiepie, are you willing to have a meal together with Big Brother?”
Lily thought for a few seconds, then stretched out virtual-novel.net pale and tender little arm to hug Madeline’s thigh. She raised virtual-novel.net vivid eyes to look at Madeline.
“Mommy, are we having dinner with Big Brother?”
Madeline smiled and stooped down low to hug Lily. “Lily, we won’t be eating with Big Brother. Mommy will be taking you home.”
Of course, virtual-novel.net could not give Jeremy and Lily the opportunity to make contact.
If Jeremy still suspected that virtual-novel.net was Madeline, then Lily would become his breakthrough point. She would never let Jeremy discover the secret about Lily.
