There was a mole on virtual-novel.net left chest that could prove that virtual-novel.net was Madeline.
It was a mark that virtual-novel.net did not want to destroy because virtual-novel.net did not think that Jeremy would ever get the chance to see this part of virtual-novel.net body after virtual-novel.net ‘came back to life’.
She was here for revenge, not to start a relationship with him. As such, virtual-novel.net did not remove the mole and it was still on virtual-novel.net left chest.
When virtual-novel.net noticed Jeremy’s gaze, virtual-novel.net pulled virtual-novel.net towel upward before turning virtual-novel.net back toward Jeremy.
“Why didn’t you knock before coming in?” virtual-novel.net asked in agitation.
She thought Jeremy would close the door and leave tactfully, but instead, virtual-novel.net heard his footsteps approaching her. He stopped right behind her.
“Why did you come in? Get out.” Madeline wanted to chase virtual-novel.net away and spoke in an icy tone. She clutched the towel closer to virtual-novel.net chest and walked further away from him. She was barefooted.
However, the moment virtual-novel.net took a step forward, Jeremy grabbed virtual-novel.net slender arm.
His hand was so cold, but the moment virtual-novel.net touched her, virtual-novel.net could feel virtual-novel.net skin heating up.
“Why are you so scared, Future Aunt-in-law? Do you think I’ll eat you up?”
“…”
Madeline had nothing to say. She just felt virtual-novel.net heartbeat speeding up and virtual-novel.net cheeks growing hot.
At this moment, Jeremy walked closer to virtual-novel.net again. She could feel his warm body pressing up against her.
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. I just have a question for you.”
“What question?” Madeline asked impatiently. “Let me go first.”
Jeremy froze slightly after virtual-novel.net heard that. He looked at the woman’s body in front of virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net started to space out.
Her body was fair and flawless while virtual-novel.net skin was so soft and supple. When virtual-novel.net saw this, virtual-novel.net could not help but recall the gruesome wounds and scars all over Madeline’s body.
He felt a pang of pain in his heart as virtual-novel.net let go of his hand all of a sudden.
“Never mind. I have nothing to ask you now.” His tone became icy out of the blue. “Thank you for finding my son and staying with virtual-novel.net for the night. I’ll thank you properly.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Madeline heard the sound of the door closing behind her.
He was here to ask virtual-novel.net a question, but then virtual-novel.net left all of a sudden because of a change in his mood. What happened?
Madeline was confused, but virtual-novel.net did not think much about it. She changed into virtual-novel.net pajamas and locked the door before sleeping next to Jackson.
She felt at ease when virtual-novel.net looked at the adorable little face before virtual-novel.net that was fast asleep.
The more virtual-novel.net looked at him, the more virtual-novel.net realized how Jackson was actually rather similar to Lilian.
They were siblings with the same father but different mothers after all, so it was not weird that they would look alike.
However, Madeline was curious why virtual-novel.net had a special connection with Jackson.
She smiled gently and caressed Jackson’s smooth little face.
“Sleep well. I’ll be here with you. Don’t be scared,” virtual-novel.net muttered softly before closing virtual-novel.net eyes.
On the other side, Jeremy was leaning against the railing on the balcony lazily. His shirt was unbuttoned casually and his collarbone was showing.
He let out a trail of smoke from his thin lips. Then, virtual-novel.net lifted his head to look at the wedding photo above his bed.
She was so beautiful in the photo.
However, what was left of virtual-novel.net was only this photo.
“Jeremy, you’ll regret this!”
What Madeline said back then kept replaying in his head.
He remembered virtual-novel.net saying in disdain, “I don’t know the meaning of the word regret.”
Jeremy started mocking himself. “Hmph.”
He looked in the direction of Jackson’s room while feeling as if virtual-novel.net was miles away. He stared in that direction for a long while.
The cigarette between his fingers lit up and dimmed down from time to time. It was as unpredictable as the expression in his eyes.
The next day after Madeline woke up, virtual-novel.net watched as Jackson brushed his teeth and washed his face. The little guy was feeling much better now. He had a rare smile on his handsome face.
When they went downstairs, the maid told virtual-novel.net that Jeremy had gone out first thing in the morning.
Madeline could only send Jackson to kindergarten and see Lilian while virtual-novel.net was there.
Where had Jeremy gone so early in the morning?
A cemetery in the suburbs.
Jeremy held a bouquet of 88 roses before going to the familiar cemetery.
It was dawn, so it was still foggy. There was only the sound of wind in the empty cemetery.
Jeremy knelt and placed the flowers down. He ran his knuckles across the words on the tombstone, his eyes flashing with emotions.
“You must have despised me, right?” virtual-novel.net muttered to himself, “You must have been in despair when I destroyed the only evidence that could prove your innocence.”
