Madeline had followed Felipe out to shop. After a round of shopping, Felipe took Madeline to this famous outdoor cafe.
As soon as virtual-novel.net walked onto the terrace, Madeline saw a woman leaning in the arms of a man not far in front.
She glanced at them indifferently, but as virtual-novel.net was about to look away, virtual-novel.net realized that the man was Jeremy.
Jeremy was holding a woman.
“Eveline, what’s wrong?” Seeing Madeline staring blankly in a certain direction, Felipe asked in a concerned tone.
Madeline hurriedly turned virtual-novel.net head. “It’s nothing. I just think that this cafe is very special.”
She sat down on the side casually, and when virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net saw the woman who was in Jeremy’s arms just now. She was currently sitting opposite Jeremy.
Felicity sat with virtual-novel.net back facing Madeline. Madeline could not see virtual-novel.net appearance. However, just by looking at virtual-novel.net back, Madeline felt virtual-novel.net manner as a woman to be quite good, so virtual-novel.net appearance should be decent as well.
When the waiter handed over the menu, Madeline looked back.
On the other side, Felicity had sat down and apologized to Jeremy with a smile on virtual-novel.net face. “I’m sorry, Mr. Whitman. I’ve just bought these shoes and am not accustomed to wearing them. Thank you for helping me just now.”
Jeremy’s jade-like face was cold. “I hope there’ll be no next time.”
The smile on Felicity’s face froze, and two seconds later, virtual-novel.net gave a seemingly generous response. “Don’t worry, Mr. Whitman. There will be no next time.”
Madeline ordered a cup of iced coffee and could not help looking in Jeremy’s direction.
Felipe naturally noticed but pretended not to see anything. He then made an excuse to go to the bathroom and walked away.
Madeline and Jeremy were facing each other from a distance of more than ten yards, but Madeline realized that Jeremy did not seem to have noticed virtual-novel.net presence.
He had been talking to the woman sitting across from virtual-novel.net when Madeline suddenly noticed Jeremy holding a coffee cup in his left hand. She clearly saw then that his ring finger was bare.
Sure enough, virtual-novel.net had taken off the ring.
Madeline smiled suddenly, laughing at virtual-novel.net self-righteous and naive thoughts.
At the gates of the police station the other day, his eyes had been drooping as virtual-novel.net was looking at the wedding ring as if virtual-novel.net was reluctant. Yet, it turned out that it was all just an act.
Sure enough, virtual-novel.net did not love her.
His so-called love was nothing more than his guilt after having severely hurt her.
He did not look back when virtual-novel.net fell into the waters exactly because virtual-novel.net did not love her.
That was why virtual-novel.net did not give virtual-novel.net any notice when virtual-novel.net was discharged from the hospital that day.
That was why virtual-novel.net never appeared the day virtual-novel.net got on the plane and left Glendale.
Moreover, virtual-novel.net had agreed without hesitation to get a divorce certificate with her.
‘Because virtual-novel.net doesn’t love me, that’s why virtual-novel.net has no lingering affection and has taken off the wedding ring decisively. He will never have any more ties or entanglements with me.
‘But is this not the best result?
‘Why do I still care?’
Madeline asked herself in a daze as virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net coffee cup.
The cold liquid entered virtual-novel.net throat, but virtual-novel.net could not taste the mellow aroma of coffee. It was just a prolonged bitterness…
When Felipe returned, virtual-novel.net saw Madeline stirring the coffee absent-mindedly. He raised his eyes and glanced in Jeremy’s direction, then turned to sit down beside Madeline. “Eveline, we actually have everything in F Country. We don’t need to buy too many things to bring home.”
“Yeah,” Madeline responded softly, “Then, let’s go. I’m a little tired.”
She picked up virtual-novel.net bag and looked at Jeremy who was blind toward her. She turned around decisively and went downstairs.
Felipe followed, and at the same time, virtual-novel.net sent a message to Felicity.
After receiving news from Felipe, Felicity reluctantly finished the last sip of virtual-novel.net coffee. Looking at the handsome face that virtual-novel.net had admired for many years, virtual-novel.net raised the corner of virtual-novel.net red lips and smiled openly.
“Mr. Whitman, let’s stop here today. We will discuss the specifics of your treatment plan the next time we meet. As long as you cooperate during the treatment, I believe your eyes will be restored soon.”
Jeremy opened his mouth calmly. “Sorry for the trouble.”
Felicity looked at virtual-novel.net obsessively before getting up and leaving.
