”Jeremy Whitman, the ring will be returned to you now, but you must remember to never show up in front of Miss Eveline again, or else you’ll bear the consequences.” The man in the suit warned.
Jeremy sneered lightly, “Your master dares not confront me head-on, so who are you to teach me how to do things?”
“You…” The man conceded and glared at Jeremy with an ugly expression.
“Give me the ring.” Jeremy’s tone was cold and pressing.
Seeing virtual-novel.net reach out, the man suddenly smirked. “I’ll return the ring to you now. Mr. Whitman, catch.”
Hearing this man’s tone, it was obviously malicious.
Indeed, virtual-novel.net deliberately threw the ring away from Jeremy’s palm.
The ring slipped past Jeremy’s fingers and rolled down to the concrete floor with a clink.
The man chuckled triumphantly, got into the car, and drove away.
Jeremy hurriedly crouched down, reaching his hand out in panic to feel for the ring that had fallen to the ground.
Madeline was completely despondent seeing this scene.
‘Is this Jeremy Whitman?
‘Is this the same Mr. Whitman who’s noble and elegant in other people’s eyes?’
He was so helpless at this moment, even looking pathetically for a ring that had fallen by his feet.
He could not find it no matter how hard virtual-novel.net tried. Anxiousness gathered on that delicate and handsome face of his.
He was like an older child who had lost his treasure, anxiously fumbling for it everywhere.
He really could not see anything.
He did not even know that virtual-novel.net was standing right in front of him, watching his helpless self.
Madeline suddenly felt a faint pain from a thorn growing in virtual-novel.net flesh at this moment.
The autumn wind blew again and the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes stung.
She stared at Jeremy blankly in silence and did not do anything.
Jackson let go of Madeline’s hand at this moment. He quickly ran to Jeremy and stuffed the wedding ring that fell to the ground into Jeremy’s palm.
“Daddy, for you.”
Jeremy felt the wedding ring and the gloominess on his handsome face was wiped away instantly. It was replaced by a touch of joy that was once lost but now recovered.
He took the ring and gently blew the dust off the surface, then put it back on the ring finger of his left hand. He cherished it as virtual-novel.net held it, turning it slightly as if virtual-novel.net would be at ease by doing this.
Madeline’s vision was suddenly blurry.
It turned out virtual-novel.net did not discard the wedding ring but it had been taken away for some reason.
Jeremy seemed to have now realized something.
He reached out and felt the little boy in front of him. “Jackson?”
“Daddy, it’s me,” Jackson answered seriously.
Jeremy’s gaze softened. He gently caressed the little guy’s cheek. “Jack, why are you here? Didn’t you get on the plane with your mother?”
“I was about to leave, but Mommy suddenly brought me to look for you,” Jackson said as virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline who was standing not far away.
“…” Jeremy was stunned hearing this. His heartstrings were pulled into a mess by the wind for a while. “Your mom is here?”
“Yes,” Jackson answered without hesitation. “Mommy, come here quickly. Daddy can’t see. We’re not playing hide and seek with Daddy anymore.”
Madeline’s tears fell instantly.
Jeremy froze for a few seconds, then virtual-novel.net slowly stood up. He roughly estimated where Madeline was standing based on his senses. A hint of haste flashed across his face as his twinkling eyes further showed his awkwardness at the moment. However, virtual-novel.net smiled gently.
“Silly, how can I not see? Get on the plane with your Mommy.” He smiled and gently pushed Jackson toward Madeline before saying, “Linnie, take Jack and go. I have things to do right now. Hopefully we can meet again in the future.”
He turned hurriedly after virtual-novel.net was done speaking, but his disordered mind made virtual-novel.net lose his sense of direction. As soon as virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net bumped into the flower bed and almost fell.
Madeline suppressed the pain that spread in virtual-novel.net heart seeing this scene. She let out a laugh and said, “Jeremy, do you not want to see me that badly?”
