Madeline was not prepared at all, and virtual-novel.net nose touched the man’s sturdy chest.
She widened virtual-novel.net eyes and looked at the handsome man showering in front of virtual-novel.net in dumbfoundedness. At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt the heat rising at the tip of virtual-novel.net nose.
Water drops were falling from virtual-novel.net head, blurring virtual-novel.net vision. She wanted to lift virtual-novel.net hand to wipe away the droplets on virtual-novel.net eyelashes. However, Jeremy grabbed virtual-novel.net wrist all of a sudden. Then, virtual-novel.net used his right hand that was attached to the rope to hold virtual-novel.net head. In an instant, virtual-novel.net planted a kiss on virtual-novel.net lips domineeringly.
Madeline was shocked. She only remembered to push virtual-novel.net away when virtual-novel.net entire body was soaked. However, when virtual-novel.net touched his naked flesh, virtual-novel.net could feel virtual-novel.net fingertips burning.
She was worried that the man would lose his reason, so virtual-novel.net tried to pull his wrist away forcefully. However, virtual-novel.net resistance only elicited his lust for dominance.
Madeline had no choice but to bite him.
Jeremy frowned and stopped what virtual-novel.net was doing.
He opened his eyes that were reddened by the water. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline looking at virtual-novel.net angrily, virtual-novel.net scoffed. “You weren’t like this before. Back then, you only had me in your heart.
“Eveline, I’ve lived in your heart for so many years. Are you going to evict me just like this?”
His cheeky and deep voice glided into virtual-novel.net ears while his wet hands lifted virtual-novel.net face that was covered with water droplets. Then, virtual-novel.net forced virtual-novel.net to look into his eyes.
“Eveline, tell me you still love me and tell me you still have me in your heart.”
His red eyes were shining with strong anticipation.
Madeline clenched virtual-novel.net fists, virtual-novel.net tone sounding calm.
“Jeremy, let me go. You should go back to Glendale.”
This was not the answer the man was looking for. His eyes went cold as virtual-novel.net pressed Madeline against the wall to kiss virtual-novel.net again.
Madeline grabbed the man’s arm when virtual-novel.net felt the man getting more and more possessive. “Jeremy, no. You can’t—”
“Why not? Hmm? You’ve never rejected me before and even if you didn’t want to, you’d still obey me. Is it because you’re in love with Felipe, the man who saved your life, that you hate me so much now?”
He sounded jealous. Then, virtual-novel.net placed his handsome face next to hers. There was a look of endless passion and remorse in his eyes.
“Eveline, do you know how hurt I was when you were gasping for your last breath in my arms back then? I felt as if all light had gone out from my world and everything in front of me was black. I wanted so badly to exchange my life for yours.
“However, I didn’t know magic, so I could only watch as you lay on the operating table with your eyes closed forever.
“In those three years of your passing, I couldn’t sleep a wink. I missed you so much that it took over my life. Whenever I thought about what I had done to you, I felt such debilitating pain.
“When you came back to my world as Vera Quinn, I was hoping that it was you. I’d endure all the hatred and revenge you have for me as long as you were still alive.”
He looked at virtual-novel.net with pain in his eyes. His Adam’s apple also bobbed lightly as virtual-novel.net sobbed. Then, tears started to well in his eyes.
“Linnie, you can hit me, yell at me, and resent me, but please don’t stop loving me, okay?”
Madeline was wearing an icy mask this entire time. When virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net telling virtual-novel.net how virtual-novel.net truly felt while looking into his tearful eyes, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart aching. Gradually, the coldness in virtual-novel.net eyes started to go away.
However, when virtual-novel.net was about to say something, virtual-novel.net saw red from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes.
Madeline finally realized that Jeremy’s arm was wrapped in a bandage and virtual-novel.net had just pulled on it forcefully. Now, the gauze was soaked and blood had also started to seep out.
He was indeed injured.
“Jeremy, your arm—”
“I don’t care about this kind of flesh wound. Linnie, the place that’s hurting right now is here.”
He held Madeline’s hand and placed it where his heart was.
Madeline’s fingers trembled as virtual-novel.net felt his strong heartbeat. Then, virtual-novel.net face started to heat up from the steam of the water.
Jeremy saw the changes in Madeline’s expression. Then, virtual-novel.net leaned down and pecked virtual-novel.net on the corner of virtual-novel.net lips.
