“Were you expecting my kiss, Mrs. Whitman?”
“…”
“How very unfortunate. Now, I only kiss the woman I love.”
A sense of tease could be seen in his smile while his eyes glittered scornfully.
Madeline felt heartbroken, but virtual-novel.net replied in a composed manner, “Did you really think that I was anticipating your kiss? I was just going along with your act. Jeremy, all you want is to hear me saying that I love you and am missing you, right? Unfortunately, how much I used to love you has now become how much I hate you. Got it?”
She put on a smile, avoided his gaze, and left the scene.
Stunned, Jeremy left his hand hovering in mid-air. The sparkle in his smile and eyes gradually faded away.
…
Time had passed, and it was already Saturday.
Madeline put on a neat gown. Holding onto Felipe’s arm, they both arrived at Jeremy and Yvette’s engagement ceremony.
She thought there would be a huge crowd at Jeremy’s engagement ceremony, yet only a few showed up.
Aside from virtual-novel.net and Felipe, there were no outsiders here.
“I don’t fancy a crowd, hence the simplicity of the engagement ceremony,” Yvette explained with a smile, “Jeremy said Mr. and Mrs. Whitman are the two most important people in his entire life. That’s why we must include you both in our engagement ceremony.”
Felipe wore a smile. “Since Jeremy has said as such, I guess Eveline and I will witness it till the end.”
Just when virtual-novel.net was done speaking, the chauffeur entered the hall at a fast pace.
The chauffeur whispered into Felipe’s ear, and the man’s expression instantly darkened
“Eveline, something urgent came up. I’ll just go out and make a quick call.”
“Alright.” Madeline nodded with a fake smile and sat at a corner by herself.
‘Wedding gown, bridal bouquet, and him.’
The scene before virtual-novel.net made Madeline recall many things from the past.
The elegant man in a suit who once held virtual-novel.net with their fingers interlocked also used to claim virtual-novel.net only loved virtual-novel.net alone.
However, virtual-novel.net was currently holding another woman’s hand with such passion and was about to get engaged to her.
They each gave their vows, exchanged wedding rings, and finally, Jeremy’s face inched closer to Yvette’s before virtual-novel.net kissed virtual-novel.net on the cheek.
Madeline turned virtual-novel.net face to the side, not wanting to witness the scene.
Perhaps it was a fluctuation of virtual-novel.net emotions, but virtual-novel.net suddenly felt unwell and started retching.
There was no one else present, so Madeline’s reaction caught the attention of Jeremy and Yvette.
“I’m sorry, I’m not feeling too good. You guys can just carry on with it,” Madeline said hurriedly. She hoisted virtual-novel.net dress and headed to the side exit.
Yvette frowned at the sight of Madeline exiting hurriedly. “Do you want to go have a look at her?”
She had just opened virtual-novel.net mouth when virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy, with a serious look on his face, running toward Madeline and catching up to her.
Seeing Jeremy showing so much concern over Madeline, Yvette felt much better and let out a wide smile.
Feeling carefree, virtual-novel.net sat at a corner, took out virtual-novel.net phone, and looked at the news feed.
Felipe was done with his call and had returned. He wondered where Jeremy and Madeline had gone to as virtual-novel.net only saw Yvette sitting all by herself on the long bench.
Of course, virtual-novel.net did not want Jeremy and Madeline to be all alone by themselves, but after virtual-novel.net saw the familiar outline, virtual-novel.net cared a lot more about Yvette at this split second.
Felipe sauntered over, and when virtual-novel.net was right behind Yvette, virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net playing with virtual-novel.net phone. What was more surprising to virtual-novel.net was that Yvette’s phone case had a Pikachu design.
He suddenly thought of Cathy whose favorite cartoon character was Pikachu.
He felt his heartbeat skipping a beat.
Yvette sensed someone was standing behind her. Raising virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net noticed it was Felipe. She was chilled and put on a shallow smile. “Mr. Whitman, why are you standing behind me? You look very serious. What are you looking at?”
Felipe stared at the face in front of him. “Miss Charis, you really look like a person I’m very familiar with.”
“Someone you’re very familiar with?” Yvette gradually stood up and asked, “I wonder how close Mr. Whitman is with this familiar person you mention?”
Felipe fixed his gaze on the almond eyes before him. “Does sleeping together count as being very close to each other?”
