Madeline was so calm when virtual-novel.net said that, but virtual-novel.net words felt like heavy icebergs on Jeremy’s heart.
He looked at Madeline’s back and followed virtual-novel.net to the door while enduring the pain.
He saw Ryan opening the door for Madeline. Then, virtual-novel.net smiled and got in before leaving with Ryan.
Under the night sky, Jeremy’s gaze was as cold as ice water.
‘Linnie, are we not fated to be together?
‘If that’s the case, why did God let us meet again after so many years?
‘Why does virtual-novel.net let us love each other and kill each other?
‘Perhaps, the last remaining thing I can do for you now is this.’
He lowered his head to look at the ring on his ring finger as a layer of frost appeared beneath his eyes.
…
In the car.
Madeline looked out of the window without saying anything.
She looked at virtual-novel.net ringless finger and touched it lightly.
When the traffic light turned red, Ryan noticed that Madeline was a little down. As such, virtual-novel.net asked softly in concern, “Did something happen, Mrs. Whitman?”
“Mr. Jones, if you don’t mind, you can just call me Eveline or Miss Montgomery.”
Ryan pondered for a few seconds before smiling and nodding. “Eveline.”
Madeline nodded and said, “It’s nothing actually. I met Lana again today.”
Ryan’s gray eyes flickered. Then, virtual-novel.net stepped on the accelerator. “Did Lana cause trouble for you again?”
“That woman seems to have no qualms whatsoever. She thinks virtual-novel.net has powerful support, so she’s not scared to commit crimes.” Madeline pressed virtual-novel.net lips together and clenched virtual-novel.net fists. “One day, I’ll send virtual-novel.net behind bars myself to avenge my parents.”
Ryan glanced at Madeline, and there were twinkles of admiration in his eyes.
After a while, the car stopped in front of Jones Manor.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones had been waiting for them.
When they saw Madeline, they started apologizing sincerely and invited virtual-novel.net inside for dinner.
Madeline could feel Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ sincerity when virtual-novel.net saw the food on the table.
Actually, virtual-novel.net had not taken what happened that day to heart. She did not blame them nor the people who watched without knowing the whole truth because virtual-novel.net knew Lana was just adding fuel to the fire.
“You can come over anytime you’re free, Miss Montgomery. I’m always so bored all alone.” Mrs. Jones was passionate and praised, “Your jewelry designs are so beautiful. I’ve collected a lot of jewelry from Miss L.ady, and if you have any limited editions in the future, I hope you can reserve some for me.”
Madeline was pleased when virtual-novel.net knew Mrs. Jones was virtual-novel.net fan.
On the other hand, Mr. Jones was also courteous and warm. “A lot of things have happened to you recently, Miss Montgomery, and we’re absolutely devastated. However, the dead can’t come back to life and we hope that you can stay strong.”
“I will. Thank you for your encouragement, Mr. Jones.”
Mr. Jones smiled. “Here, have some salad. Please eat more, Miss Montgomery.”
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart getting warmer when virtual-novel.net was faced with Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ friendliness and hospitality.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net missed Eloise and Sean. She missed virtual-novel.net parents a lot.
However, they could not come back to virtual-novel.net anymore nor call out virtual-novel.net name softly.
After dinner, Ryan took Madeline for a walk nearby.
In Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ eyes, they were able to sense something going on between the two.
