Are you just an illusion that I conjured?
‘No, you can’t be. You must be around here.’
Madeline felt anxious. She looked around in hopes of finding Jeremy.
He looked so real just now, but now it was as if virtual-novel.net had vanished and disappeared into thin air.
‘Jeremy.’
Madeline continued walking in confusion. When virtual-novel.net walked past the staircase, a familiar hand reached out and grabbed virtual-novel.net thin arm.
‘Jeremy!’
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart stop for a second. Before virtual-novel.net could see clearly, Jeremy pulled virtual-novel.net into the staircase.
The man’s tall body towered over hers while his amber eyes were staring into Madeline’s confused and delighted ones under the dim lighting.
Madeline widened virtual-novel.net eyes and lifted virtual-novel.net hand to caress the face that was fairer than before.
“Jeremy, is that really you?”
She ran virtual-novel.net fingers across his face shakily.
Before Jeremy could answer, virtual-novel.net leaped into his arms and held his waist tightly.
“Jeremy, you’re still alive! This is great!
“I missed you, Jeremy. I missed you so much…”
Madeline poured out all of virtual-novel.net longing and passion in virtual-novel.net mind from these six months as virtual-novel.net held virtual-novel.net tighter and tighter.
She was so scared that virtual-novel.net might be hallucinating again. She was scared that virtual-novel.net would disappear from virtual-novel.net sight, so virtual-novel.net needed to hold virtual-novel.net close and not let virtual-novel.net disappear from virtual-novel.net world again.
Even though virtual-novel.net did not know why his appearance had changed so much, the feeling and the warmth of this hug told virtual-novel.net that this was the man virtual-novel.net loved the most.
The cold scent on his body was gone and was replaced with a faint smell of grass.
This refreshing and clean smell was soft and pure. When virtual-novel.net took in more of his new scent, virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net was going to be obsessed with it.
Jeremy lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms. The joy of reuniting flashed across his eyes, but there was a subtle glint in his eyes.
He lifted his hand and caressed Madeline’s hair. “Don’t cry, I’m not dead,” virtual-novel.net said in a calm voice. He sounded different than before.
Madeline removed herself from his arms reluctantly and lifted virtual-novel.net teary eyes to look into the man’s gaze.
“Jeremy, what happened? What’s going on with that grave? Why did you become like this?” Madeline looked at virtual-novel.net pitifully. She could not stop virtual-novel.net tears from falling.
Jeremy lifted his hand to try to wipe away the tears from Madeline’s face. He did not explain anything. He merely smiled and lifted his finger to tuck Madeline’s hair behind virtual-novel.net ear.
He placed his cold palm gently on the back of virtual-novel.net neck as virtual-novel.net moved his face closer to hers. “I won’t leave you again.”
“Jeremy…”
“Eveline Montgomery, you’re mine.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net leaned down and kissed Madeline on the lips.
Madeline opened virtual-novel.net teary eyes and was stunned for a few seconds. However, virtual-novel.net was submerged into the man’s gentle kiss soon after. She could feel virtual-novel.net pulling virtual-novel.net emotions arbitrarily…
The second Madeline closed virtual-novel.net eyes, Jeremy opened his and looked at the exit of the staircase.
Ryan appeared in his vision at the same time and their eyes met.
Jeremy smirked slightly and continued to hold Madeline to deepen the kiss.
The party ended two hours later, and during this period, Madeline kept holding Jeremy as they sat on the staircase.
She did not want to let virtual-novel.net go, and virtual-novel.net did not feel that time had passed until Ryan sent virtual-novel.net a message telling virtual-novel.net it was time to leave. When that happened, Madeline remembered something.
“Jeremy, I need to go out with Rye. I’ll come to you after,” virtual-novel.net said while getting up.
Jeremy grabbed virtual-novel.net wrist and slowly stood up as well. “If you don’t want to never see me again, come home with me.”
