His warm breath dispersed on Madeline’s cheek. She was stunned, and everything Jeremy did to virtual-novel.net back then appeared in virtual-novel.net head.
He was cold-blooded and heartless, so virtual-novel.net had done every cruel thing in the world to her.
Madeline could not think of anything that virtual-novel.net had not done to her.
While virtual-novel.net was spacing out, virtual-novel.net noticed Jeremy’s face inching closer to her.
Madeline’s heart started racing irregularly. She thought Jeremy was about to kiss her, so virtual-novel.net was about to run away when virtual-novel.net pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms.
He lowered his head and buried his face between virtual-novel.net neck and shoulder. He seemed to be exhausted. With this hug, virtual-novel.net was releasing all of his unknown pressure and stress. He was indulging himself during this hug with her.
Madeline was taken aback while stuck in Jeremy’s embrace.
She was not wearing very thick clothes, so virtual-novel.net could feel Jeremy’s warmth through the material of their clothes since they were in such close proximity. His warmth seeped into virtual-novel.net skin, slowly spreading. It was so hot.
His breath was so close to virtual-novel.net ear as well. His cool scent lingered in virtual-novel.net nose, disrupting virtual-novel.net breathing and heartbeat.
Madeline looked at the moon and was stuck in a trance.
However, virtual-novel.net immediately recalled those sinister things virtual-novel.net did to her.
Her racing heart went back to normal and virtual-novel.net could not find the passion virtual-novel.net had for virtual-novel.net anymore.
Madeline lowered virtual-novel.net eyes and looked at the man who was leaning against virtual-novel.net shoulder. Then, virtual-novel.net pushed virtual-novel.net away.
However, the moment virtual-novel.net moved, Jeremy’s arm circled virtual-novel.net waist tighter.
“Don’t move,” virtual-novel.net muttered, “I won’t do anything to you.”
“Mr. Whitman, I don’t think this is appropriate. I’m your future aunt-in-law.” Madeline made virtual-novel.net standpoint clear to him.
Jeremy opened his piercing yet deep eyes while curling his thin lips. “Shouldn’t the future aunt-in-law comfort virtual-novel.net nephew at a moment like this?”
“…”
His voice was deep and charming, gliding past virtual-novel.net ear so seductively and alluringly. Madeline felt virtual-novel.net face heat up, then virtual-novel.net used all of virtual-novel.net might to push this man away from her.
She tidied virtual-novel.net clothes and looked at the man in disapproval. “Mr. Whitman, is this what you mean by wanting to do something you’ve never done with your wife before?”
There was a smirk on Madeline’s lips. “I guess you really hated Madeline. She married you and gave birth to your child, but you’ve never even hugged virtual-novel.net before,” virtual-novel.net smiled and said. However, virtual-novel.net did not know why virtual-novel.net heart was crying.
The moonlight was dim, and virtual-novel.net looked at the man virtual-novel.net used to love. She had placed all of virtual-novel.net emotions and passion on virtual-novel.net back then, but in the end, virtual-novel.net did not even get a hug in return.
How pathetic.
Jeremy looked at Madeline with a smile on his face. “Yes, I’ve never hugged virtual-novel.net like that before.”
“Why did you hug me? Do you feel remorseful because you know the truth now? Have you now realized that you falsely accused your ex-wife so you want to redeem your sins by treating me as your ex-wife in order to feel better?”
Madeline questioned with a slight smile on virtual-novel.net face. There was intense accusation in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Jeremy, do you think you’ll be able to shed all responsibility by doing that? No, you can’t. You’re one of the reasons why Madeline had such a lamentable ending!”
After virtual-novel.net said that, a cold breeze brushed against her.
Jeremy frowned as virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline’s angry face. “It seems that you’re very concerned about my ex-wife.”
Madeline was slightly taken aback after virtual-novel.net heard that. She realized virtual-novel.net had almost exposed herself just now.
She lifted virtual-novel.net hand and ran virtual-novel.net fingers through virtual-novel.net long hair to hide virtual-novel.net franticness. Then, virtual-novel.net said, “Maybe I’m so concerned about virtual-novel.net because I look like her.”
She found an excuse that virtual-novel.net felt was appropriate. However, virtual-novel.net noticed Jeremy was looking at virtual-novel.net with a weird look.
“Since you’re fine, I won’t be staying.”
Madeline turned around after virtual-novel.net said that. Before virtual-novel.net could go far, Jeremy grabbed virtual-novel.net wrist.
His hands were cold after getting blown by the wind. They were pressed against virtual-novel.net skin so tightly, causing the strange sensation to penetrate virtual-novel.net skin.
“Vera, I have a question…”
Buzz, buzz.
Before Jeremy could finish speaking, virtual-novel.net was interrupted by the buzzing of his phone.
Madeline let out a sigh of relief because virtual-novel.net had a feeling that Jeremy’s question would be tricky.
She could not let the cat out of the bag now.
