The man’s voice was soft and certain. However, it also sounded like virtual-novel.net was begging her. His eyes were hazy and fazed. Though virtual-novel.net looked sober, virtual-novel.net also looked intoxicated at the same time.
Madeline looked at virtual-novel.net indifferently and said, “I don’t want to listen to anything you say. I feel disgusted when I see you.”
Her words were a blatant show of virtual-novel.net disdain toward virtual-novel.net while virtual-novel.net resentful eyes caused Jeremy to stand there feeling dumbfounded.
He felt as if his heart had plunged into a bottomless abyss where the bone-chilling coldness spread from his heart to his entire body.
He missed this so much. Back then, virtual-novel.net would look at virtual-novel.net with so much admiration and love in virtual-novel.net twinkling eyes.
Now, virtual-novel.net was looking at virtual-novel.net with a gaze that was even colder than how one would look at a stranger.
When virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy looking at virtual-novel.net with a dazed look on his face, Madeline’s attitude was more firm than before. “Jeremy, if you don’t leave now, I’ll call the security.”
Hearing this, Jeremy quivered as virtual-novel.net lifted his intoxicated eyes. “I’ll go. I just want to tell you something first.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, a bone-chilling wind swept over them.
Madeline looked at Jeremy’s abnormally red face and released virtual-novel.net hand that was on the doorknob. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around and entered virtual-novel.net house.
When Jeremy saw that Madeline was willing to take a step back, a smile appeared in his deep eyes.
He followed after virtual-novel.net and closed the door.
The heat in the unit quickly evaporated the frost on his coat. However, what warmed Jeremy up more was Madeline’s tolerance.
“Spit it out. Don’t waste my time,” Madeline said coldly.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s frigid face, his intoxicated eyes filled with passion. “Don’t get too close to Felipe. And you can’t marry him. He’s not as simple as you think virtual-novel.net is.”
Madeline chuckled after virtual-novel.net heard that, a hint of sarcasm appearing in virtual-novel.net eyes. “Jeremy, who are you to interfere with my business? Who are you to me?”
Her tone was mocking while virtual-novel.net eyes were filled with contempt.
“I don’t care what kind of person Felipe is. I only know that virtual-novel.net genuinely likes me and virtual-novel.net genuinely wants to make me happy. He won’t humiliate, hurt, and insult me like how you once treated me! At least when I’m with him, I get to keep my most basic dignity as a human and I’m trusted.”
Madeline’s words traveled into his ears as virtual-novel.net looked at the figure that was standing in front of him, feeling at a loss. His eyes were filled with remorse and pain.
“Jeremy, if this is what you want to tell me, then you’re done. Please leave. I don’t want to see you again.”
When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline walking into virtual-novel.net room after giving virtual-novel.net the cold shoulder, Jeremy could not help himself and ran up to virtual-novel.net before hugging virtual-novel.net from behind.
“Don’t go!”
He called out in a low voice. There were fear and terror in his voice. It was as if virtual-novel.net would disappear from his world completely if virtual-novel.net did not hold virtual-novel.net now. Madeline stopped abruptly in virtual-novel.net tracks when virtual-novel.net was suddenly held from behind.
She was stuck in a daze for a few seconds before virtual-novel.net started to reject him. “Jeremy, let me go.”
“No. I can’t let you go again. I can’t…” He tightened his arms, wanting so badly to keep virtual-novel.net in his life. “I’m sorry, Maddie. I’m sorry. I was wrong. I was wrong right from the start…”
He kept on apologizing, his deep mutters spreading warmth to virtual-novel.net ear. There was also a hint of panic and shiver in his voice.
Madeline listened to Jeremy’s apologies in amusement. There was only sarcasm in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Maddie, give me another chance. Please?”
His wet and hot breath fanned virtual-novel.net face along with the faint smell of wine. The electrifying feeling penetrated virtual-novel.net skin and into virtual-novel.net heart.
However, it would never be able to strike the broken chord in virtual-novel.net heart anymore.
Jeremy held Madeline dispiritedly. Even though virtual-novel.net could never get virtual-novel.net answer, this hug right now was enough to satisfy him.
