On the way back to the manor, what Jeremy’s mother said to virtual-novel.net through the phone earlier was still replaying in his head.
Unbeknownst to him, virtual-novel.net started to speed up his car and after more than ten minutes, virtual-novel.net drove into the manor’s garage.
After virtual-novel.net got out of the car, virtual-novel.net walked straight to the living room. When virtual-novel.net was at the door, virtual-novel.net saw the face of his dreams. That stunning and alluring face was in his field of vision.
Jeremy stopped in his tracks as his heartbeat sped up.
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net head and saw Jeremy. She smiled bashfully at him, virtual-novel.net eyes looking so lively that it was like they were able to speak to him. There were so many emotions in them.
“I thought Felipe was here, but it’s just you, Mr. Whitman.” Madeline smiled softly.
Jeremy’s speeding heart went back to its normal pace at that instant. He narrowed his eyes while maintaining a smile on his lips. “Are you waiting for Felipe?”
“Felipe and I planned to come here together, but virtual-novel.net had something to take care of suddenly, so that’s why I’m here first.” Madeline explained calmly. “It’s good that you’re here, Mr. Whitman. Felipe and I won’t have to inform you again.”
“Inform me about what?” Jeremy walked over to Madeline and stared into virtual-novel.net eyes.
Her eyes looked into his deep ones confidently. “About our marriage.”
Her voice was soft as it drifted into Jeremy’s ear and landed on his heart. He felt that virtual-novel.net words were extremely heavy for no reason. It was weighing on virtual-novel.net so much that virtual-novel.net felt it was difficult for virtual-novel.net to breathe at this moment.
“You’ll give us your blessings, right, Mr. Whitman? He’s your uncle, after all.” Madeline grinned and looked at Jeremy’s face that had turned cold all of a sudden.
“Are you sure you’ll be happy marrying a man you don’t love?”
Madeline was shocked when virtual-novel.net heard Jeremy saying that all of a sudden. However, virtual-novel.net smiled calmly.
“Do you think that I’ll be happy if I marry someone I love deeply, Mr. Whitman?” virtual-novel.net asked him. She spotted the sense of loss in Jeremy’s eyes and the smile on virtual-novel.net face got even wider. “Based on my understanding, your ex-wife Madeline was so madly in love with you, but what did virtual-novel.net get in return? She loved the wrong person. Not only did virtual-novel.net not get an ounce of your love, virtual-novel.net even lost virtual-novel.net life.
“The saddest thing was that you guys were ecstatic when virtual-novel.net died. You guys think that it’s better now that she’s dead.”
Madeline enunciated each and every word clearly. She noticed a hint of worry in Jeremy’s eyes, then virtual-novel.net chuckled sarcastically.
“If that’s the case, do you still think marrying someone I love will bring me happiness, Mr. Whitman?”
When Jeremy heard Madeline’s question, virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net for a moment before parting his lips slightly. However, virtual-novel.net could not say one single word.
He just felt that this face was making virtual-novel.net feel perturbed. He was having difficulty breathing now.
He recalled Madeline gasping for air while looking like virtual-novel.net was about to break the moment before virtual-novel.net death. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net found that the question virtual-novel.net had asked earlier was oddly pathetic.
Not happy.
She was not happy at all.
The biggest misfortune in virtual-novel.net life was meeting virtual-novel.net and falling in love with him.
“If it’s so painful to love someone, then I’d rather be loved instead.”
Madeline’s voice lingered in Jeremy’s ear.
He looked at virtual-novel.net while feeling dispirited. He felt as if his heart had been stabbed with a knife. There was no blood, but the invisible pain was spreading across his heart.
“Felipe.”
Suddenly, Jeremy heard Madeline calling out to someone behind him.
