She tried to pull virtual-novel.net hand back, but Jeremy did not seem to show any signs of letting go.
“Please let go of me, Mr. Whitman.”
“I’ll never let you go again.”
What?
Madeline was shocked at Jeremy’s unexpected confession.
She turned to stare at virtual-novel.net in confusion, not expecting Jeremy to suddenly pull virtual-novel.net into his arms.
As virtual-novel.net was in virtual-novel.net heels, Madeline lost virtual-novel.net footing at the sudden tug and fell onto Jeremy.
For a split second, virtual-novel.net felt the familiar warmth despite their distance.
He may have never loved her, but that did not mean nothing had happened between them.
Quickly recollecting virtual-novel.net emotions, virtual-novel.net tried to push herself up only for Jeremy to wrap an arm around virtual-novel.net waist.
“What are you doing, Mr. Whitman?”
As virtual-novel.net was feeling uncomfortable, Madeline tried to struggle out of his grasp. Her efforts were futile due to the difference between their strengths.
Right then, the hand around virtual-novel.net waist suddenly moved upward, pressing Madeline against Jeremy before virtual-novel.net realized what was happening.
His intoxicated yet handsome appearance was magnified before virtual-novel.net eyes. With their breaths mingling and their noses touching, Madeline was stunned by the lack of distance between them.
She had never expected to get so close to Jermey again.
However, Jeremy seemed truly drunk. His eyes were dazed and glazed over as they stared back at Madeline.
Slowly, virtual-novel.net lifted a hand, his warm fingertips caressing Madeline’s cheeks. In his eyes swirled a myriad of unspoken feelings.
Madeline did not understand them, nor did virtual-novel.net want to maintain such close distance and position.
She lifted a hand to push Jeremy away in distaste. “You’re drunk!”
Taking virtual-novel.net bag, Madeline made a move to leave only to have Jeremy hold virtual-novel.net close from behind. The warmth virtual-novel.net used to yearn for engulfed her, making it hard for virtual-novel.net to escape.
“Madeline.”
Jeremy’s low and raspy baritone voice sounded, thick with mixed emotions.
Madeline halted in virtual-novel.net steps, doubting the truth behind the situation.
“I missed you, Madeline…” the man spoke softly against virtual-novel.net ear.
Madeline smiled at the hilarity of the situation. ‘Do you think I wouldn’t know that you’re trying to test if I’m your ex-wife, Jeremy?
‘You miss me?
‘Hmph!
‘The only person you miss is the evil b*tch, Meredith!
‘Since when have you ever missed me?
‘Had you never thought, for one moment, that I was human too? That I would hurt too when my appearance got disfigured when my cornea got removed? No!
‘You didn’t, Jeremy Whitman!
‘So don’t tell me you miss me or that you want me. All you’ve wanted was for me to die!’
Bang!
The doors of the private room were kicked open.
After hearing about it, Meredith had sped over to find Jeremy hugging Madeline in his arms. Furious, virtual-novel.net ran over and took one of the many red wine bottles lying around.
“Vera Quinn, you b*tch! I’m going to kill you!”
