‘Ava, I didn’t forget.
‘That’s why I’m back for revenge. This is for me, but also mostly for the child.’
When Ava noticed how Madeline had not spoken a word even after a long time, virtual-novel.net ran over and grabbed virtual-novel.net hand emotionally. “Maddie, please, come with us. Dan is the person who truly loves and cares about you. Stop getting fooled by that piece of trash!”
“Stop talking.” Madeline interrupted virtual-novel.net suddenly. “I’ve told you many times that I’m not Madeline Crawford. Plus, why can’t I stay with Mr. Whitman? What do his past actions have to do with me? I just know that I’m happy being with him. I enjoy being with virtual-novel.net too. So please, stop harassing me!”
Madeline finished saying that in an icy tone. Then, virtual-novel.net pushed Ava’s hand away from her.
She turned around and grabbed Jeremy’s arm, pretending to look intimate with him. “Jeremy, let’s talk somewhere else. These people are so annoying.”
“Alright.” Jeremy gave virtual-novel.net a one-word reply emotionlessly. He was not bothered by Madeline’s hand on his arm.
Before virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net glared at Ava solemnly, virtual-novel.net words still lingering in his ears.
Hiss.
It was a pain that felt like a million ants gnawing at his heart. It even drowned his breathing.
Ava had declared how cold-blooded and cruel virtual-novel.net was to Madeline as virtual-novel.net recounted all of the horrible things virtual-novel.net did to virtual-novel.net back then.
Madeline sat in the passenger seat, and from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net could see that Jeremy had a weird expression on his face.
She figured that virtual-novel.net was affected by what Ava had said just now.
She smirked in secret. ‘How’s that, Jeremy? Are you feeling remorseful? Or have you finally found your conscience?
‘However, when were you ever conscientious when you were with me?
‘If you had even an ounce of pity for me back then, I wouldn’t have died such a horrible death!’
The evening mist hung lowly at dusk during fall.
Madeline stepped on the slabs and slowly made virtual-novel.net way to the tombstone.
She had a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in virtual-novel.net hand and placed it in front of the tombstone. Then, virtual-novel.net bowed.
“Grandpa,” virtual-novel.net called out softly as virtual-novel.net looked at the name on the tombstone.
“Eveline is here to see you.”
She smiled, but virtual-novel.net eyes were already filled with tears.
“I know you won’t agree with what I’m doing right now, but I can’t endure what virtual-novel.net did to me and the child back then.
“He’s biting the bait now. I’ll make virtual-novel.net fall in love with me, and then I’ll let virtual-novel.net have a taste of what it feels like to be fooled and humiliated by the person virtual-novel.net loves.
“I’ll also make the person who harmed you back then pay a horrible price.”
Madeline narrowed virtual-novel.net eyes and there was a piercing glint in them.
She lit up some candles and sat down in the empty cemetery.
The sky in fall was slowly turning dark. However, at this moment, virtual-novel.net only wanted to stay with virtual-novel.net grandfather who used to love virtual-novel.net so much.
Jeremy had not planned on coming to the cemetery today, but Ava’s words lingered in his head for a very long time.
He knew remorse and apologies would not be enough, so virtual-novel.net decided to come here to seek some form of comfort.
He was still holding the meaningful bouquet with 88 roses. After virtual-novel.net placed it down, virtual-novel.net caressed the name on the tombstone out of habit. He imagined that virtual-novel.net could be closer to virtual-novel.net like this.
However, it was just coldness under his fingertips. He was touching an icy tombstone and not a body of flesh.
Jeremy turned around and wanted to find a place to sit down so virtual-novel.net could accompany the person who was sleeping here. However, when virtual-novel.net lifted his head, virtual-novel.net saw a white figure walking past one of the plots. That figure was petite and lithe, looking just like her.
There was a thin layer of mist during dusk, so Jeremy could not see the woman’s face. However, his heart started accelerating.
“Maddie…”
He blurted out virtual-novel.net name and turned around quickly. Then, virtual-novel.net ran in the direction of Len’s grave.
