Madeline reached out and pushed virtual-novel.net away just in case, but Jeremy did not let go of her. He took off his shoes and stepped into the bathtub while hugging her.
Madeline was surprised that Jeremy actually made such a move.
Cold, flowing water was continuously falling from the shower. It quickly wetted his clothes.
Yet, virtual-novel.net was unmoving and was as steady as a rock. He hugged her, letting the cold water soak through his body…
As time passed, Jeremy, who sat behind Madeline, was gradually losing his focus and blankly staring at the familiar appearance. He involuntarily hugged virtual-novel.net a little tighter.
“Madeline…” virtual-novel.net could not help but whisper softly.
Madeline suddenly opened virtual-novel.net beautiful eyes that were gradually recovering consciousness. Cold water droplets dripped from virtual-novel.net curled eyelashes, falling silently on the back of virtual-novel.net hands.
Although Jeremy’s voice was inaudible, Madeline heard it.
Madeline.
‘What intimate affection. Jeremy, I used to wish you could call me like that.
‘But all those expectations and wild wishes of mine have long been torn to pieces along with my heart. They can no longer be put together.’
…
The next day, Madeline woke up and found herself sleeping on Jeremy’s bed. Much to virtual-novel.net surprise, the clothes virtual-novel.net was wearing had been changed. She was now wearing a loose bathrobe and was naked inside!
She got up suddenly and saw the obvious mole on virtual-novel.net slightly exposed left chest. She quickly gripped the loose neckline.
What had happened?
When did virtual-novel.net fall asleep last night? When did virtual-novel.net change virtual-novel.net clothes? She had no recollection of it at all.
If Jeremy had changed virtual-novel.net out of virtual-novel.net dress, then virtual-novel.net must have seen the mole on virtual-novel.net chest…
Click.
The door was pushed open just then and Jeremy walked in elegantly, already well dressed. He did not seem to be in the disoriented state virtual-novel.net was in when virtual-novel.net accompanied virtual-novel.net in the bathtub last night. At this moment, virtual-novel.net was charismatic—still the noble, elegant, and unattainable President Whitman.
After Jeremy walked in, his slender eyes glanced vaguely at Madeline’s hand that was gripping tightly at virtual-novel.net neckline. He parted his thin lips slightly, “You’re awake. Are you still feeling uncomfortable?”
Madeline steadied virtual-novel.net emotions and looked at virtual-novel.net calmly, “When did I fall asleep last night?”
“Around early morning,” virtual-novel.net answered naturally.
“Were you the one who changed my clothes?”
He met virtual-novel.net questioning eyes openly. “Don’t worry, I don’t have the habit of taking advantage of others. I helped you put on the bathrobe first, only then did I take off the soaked dress.”
Madeline looked at Jeremy dubiously and smiled a little. “Then, please leave first. Let me wash up.”
“Okay.” He nodded. “I have all the new toiletries and clothes ready for you.”
“Thanks.”
“We don’t need to be so courteous toward each other. You’ll soon be the lady of this house.” He smiled faintly before turning around and walking out.
Madeline sat on the bed, thinking for a moment. After that, virtual-novel.net changed into the clothes that Jeremy had prepared before virtual-novel.net went to the bathroom to wash up.
She pulled open virtual-novel.net neckline. Her eyes narrowed as virtual-novel.net looked at the mole on virtual-novel.net left chest in the mirror.
What virtual-novel.net said just now should be true. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would have questioned virtual-novel.net angrily. How could virtual-novel.net have kept his composure?
If virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was still alive, virtual-novel.net would definitely settle virtual-novel.net quickly. He would have never kept silent.
This was not his style of doing things.
Madeline relaxed after thinking about this.
After washing up, Madeline went downstairs and found that breakfast was ready.
The dining hall had already been tidied and cleaned up. There was none of the red wine or dishes that were spilled on the ground from last night.
Jeremy pulled the chair for virtual-novel.net chivalrously and both of them sat down facing each other.
He took a sip of milk gracefully. Seeing Madeline eating virtual-novel.net breakfast calmly, virtual-novel.net opened his mouth slightly and said, “Although I’ve already tried to avoid the possibility of offending you last night, I still inadvertently saw a mark on a certain part of your body.”
Madeline suddenly stopped in the middle of picking up the milk as virtual-novel.net heart skipped a beat.
What did virtual-novel.net mean? Was virtual-novel.net implying that virtual-novel.net had actually seen the mole on virtual-novel.net chest? Did virtual-novel.net know virtual-novel.net was his damned ex-wife?
