Jeremy was about to exert more strength, but after hearing Madeline’s comment, his grip loosened.
He stared at virtual-novel.net cloudy eyes, and virtual-novel.net was eventually lost in his thoughts
Right then, Madeline’s tears fell on the back of his palm. The temperature of virtual-novel.net tears seeped through his skin, traveling all the way to the bottom of his heart. The warm sensation made virtual-novel.net snap out of it and return to reality.
“Stop treating me as your dead husband,” said Jeremy coldly as virtual-novel.net released his grip.
“Cough, cough.” Madeline choked and gasped after virtual-novel.net was released.
His grip on virtual-novel.net neck earlier was indeed painful, but it was nothing compared to the disappointment virtual-novel.net felt from his cold and heartless orbs.
Despite what virtual-novel.net was going through, Madeline remained fearless. “The person who you care most about right now is Lana, am I right? If anything were to happen to my kid, I’ll make sure virtual-novel.net pays the same price too!”
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s sharp gaze with a look of disapproval on virtual-novel.net and chuckled. “Just by yourself?”
His eyes glittered with disdain.
Madeline looked back at him, stern. “I dare you to try me.”
She spouted out those few words, turned around, and left the scene.
Jeremy yanked Madeline back into his arms with his breath engulfing her. “Do you think you’ll be able to get away from here after showing up?”
“What about it? Are you thinking of finishing me as well?” Madeline was not the slightest bit afraid of him.
She thought Jeremy was up to no good. However, virtual-novel.net raised his hand and touched virtual-novel.net on the cheek gently. “I need you for a favor. If you can do it, I’ll let you go.”
He was speaking in a domineering tone, yet his eyes were serious about what virtual-novel.net was saying.
Madeline glanced at virtual-novel.net with a cold stare. “Helping you out means helping Lana, that maniac, to carry out some evil doings… I’ll never do such a thing.”
“Hmph.” Jeremy giggled. “What do you think I’m planning to make you do?”
He lowered his voice and placed his lips beside virtual-novel.net ear. “Aren’t you a perfumer? I need you to help me create a fragrance oil.”
His request made Madeline thunderstruck.
Nevertheless, Madeline rejected virtual-novel.net flat out. “I’ll never help you guys with anything!”
Jeremy frowned. “I’m not begging you right now, Eveline. This is an order.”
Madeline giggled. “I’m sorry. I’m the type of person who needs to be persuaded, not forced to do something.”
“So, you’re saying that you’re rejecting me?” His gaze turned much colder.
Madeline sneaked a peek at him, then turned around with little thought after shoving virtual-novel.net aside.
Jeremy could not accept the way Madeline was behaving. He noticed virtual-novel.net making a move and sprinted toward virtual-novel.net before carrying virtual-novel.net from behind.
Madeline struggled, pulling onto Jeremy’s shirt from his back. “Put me back down!”
However, the man did not do as virtual-novel.net commanded.
“Put me down, Jeremy!”
Regardless of how Madeline cursed Jeremy, virtual-novel.net did not react to it.
He carried Madeline all the way to a bedroom on the second floor and discarded her, who was trying all means to struggle, on the bed.
Madeline quickly sat up and tried to escape, but Jeremy beat virtual-novel.net to it and grasped virtual-novel.net neck. He was pinning virtual-novel.net on the bed.
“Don’t make me angry.” He lowered his orbs while giving a heartless warning. “I’ll let you go when you’ve made up your mind to help me create that perfume.”
“I’ll never provide a helping hand to carry out those nasty businesses and I’ll never help Lana do anything!”
After hearing virtual-novel.net reply, Jeremy was crossed and his expression darkened. He suddenly bent over and leaned near Madeline.
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net hand, giving Jeremy one tight slap across the face while virtual-novel.net orbs gave off an icy gaze. “Stop kissing me with those lips of yours that have kissed other women.”
Staring at the pair of defensive orbs, Jeremy’s eyes could not help but show an overwhelming sense of desire to conquer her.
