The man’s voice slipped into virtual-novel.net ears, sounding husky and cool as usual.
However, Madeline’s heart sank.
Mrs. Whitman.
He called virtual-novel.net that.
What did his ‘Mrs. Whitman’ mean though?
Madeline calmly looked at the exquisite and stunning face, quietly heaving a sigh of relief.
Judging by his outfit, virtual-novel.net had also come to participate in the bidding tonight. Since virtual-novel.net could appear here so dashingly, it seemed that his body was fine.
“Mrs. Whitman, are you alright?” Jeremy asked with a faint smile.
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head. “I’m fine.”
“If you’re alright, then I’ll let go of you.” As soon as his voice fell, virtual-novel.net quickly retracted his arms from virtual-novel.net waist as though virtual-novel.net felt no nostalgia at all.
Madeline then saw Jeremy turning around and leaving. Her heart suddenly froze.
She knew that Jeremy probably believed in virtual-novel.net lack of feelings and indifference toward virtual-novel.net three months ago.
Madeline impulsively wanted to tell Jeremy the truth. She stepped forward toward him. “Jeremy—”
“Eveline.”
Felipe’s voice suddenly cut in like a nightmare.
He seemed to be walking toward Madeline’s side with a gentle smile. He placed his hand gently on Madeline’s slim waist and bowed his head to put his thin lips close to Madeline’s ear. “If you want to tell Jeremy the truth, then you’ll never see Lilian again.”
Felipe’s voice was gentle and soft, but his words were full of threats and warnings.
Jeremy was certain virtual-novel.net heard Madeline call out his name just now. He looked back and saw Felipe holding Madeline in his arms, whispering intimately to her.
“Eveline, don’t do something you’ll regret, okay?” Felipe reminded. “Be happy on an occasion like today. You must not know how beautiful you look when you smile.”
Madeline raised virtual-novel.net finger but had to put on a smile to cooperate with Felipe.
She looked up and quietly glanced at Jeremy with virtual-novel.net peripheral vision.
Jeremy was facing virtual-novel.net with his back and seemed to be talking happily with someone.
Madeline turned around and left with Felipe. She made contact with those people from the industry.
Several people came over to make a toast with Felipe. They looked at Madeline and praised virtual-novel.net appearance and temperament. They also praised Felipe’s insight and talked about how blessed virtual-novel.net was to have such a beautiful wife.
Madeline was gracefully feigning virtual-novel.net smiles. She wanted to find an excuse to get away when virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy walking toward her.
“When did Uncle Felipe bring Aunty Eveline back? Why didn’t you tell me, your nephew?” virtual-novel.net asked with a faint smile. No one could see what emotions virtual-novel.net was carrying in those eyes of his at the moment.
However, Madeline was certain that virtual-novel.net recognized virtual-novel.net as Felipe’s woman when virtual-novel.net called virtual-novel.net ‘Mrs. Whitman’ just now.
Aunty Eveline…
Madeline chuckled ironically.
“What’s Aunty Eveline laughing about?” Jeremy caught Madeline’s smile and asked with a puzzled smile.
Madeline curled virtual-novel.net pink lips, pretending to be contemptuous. “I’m happy to have met my ex-husband here.”
“Are you?” Jeremy chuckled cooperatively. He took two glasses of red wine from the passing waiter and handed one to Madeline. “Then, I wonder if I can have a drink with my ex-wife? Uncle Felipe wouldn’t mind, right?” He glanced at Felipe.
“Of course.” Felipe smiled generously. “We’re family, after all. After drinking this glass of wine, consider your and Eveline’s past affairs to have completely ended.”
“Mhm.” Jeremy seemingly lifted the corner of his lips. He looked at Madeline, who was smiling like a flower, and took his wine glass to gently clink it against Madeline’s. “My ex-wife, here’s to our amicable separation.”
He said meaningfully before downing the wine in his glass.
Madeline was stunned for a moment. Her heart seemed to be cut into pieces.
However, virtual-novel.net had to force a smile and swallow the liquid in the glass into virtual-novel.net stomach. She swallowed it together with the grievance and helplessness that was about to gush out.
“Aunty Eveline really drinks well.” Jeremy praised, then glanced at his phone. “My girlfriend is here, so I won’t bother Uncle Felipe and Aunty Eveline anymore. See you two later.”
Girlfriend?
