“When I knew that you’d be leaving me forever and disappearing from my world, I didn’t want to resent you anymore. I wasn’t afraid anymore. I was just afraid that I wouldn’t get to be with you anymore.”
As virtual-novel.net listened to every word Madeline said, Jeremy’s eyes glinted with a sense of deep apology and appreciation.
“Ryan and I are just married on the surface. He has never forced me into anything. I have never been able to convince myself to act like a married couple with virtual-novel.net either. That’s because there has always been a man called Jeremy Whitman in the deepest corner of my heart.”
This sentence alone touched his heart. Not long after, virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net tear up.
“I never imagined that this man would return to my side. However, I don’t want virtual-novel.net to continue hurting me using these methods after returning to my side.
“Jeremy, is it too much for me to want to have a simple love and lead a quiet life with you? Or are we just not compatible as lovers?”
Tears spilled out of virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net questioned him.
At this moment, Jeremy felt his heart breaking.
He wrapped virtual-novel.net in his arms. “I’m sorry, Linnie. I made you cry again,” virtual-novel.net said.
More tears flowed down virtual-novel.net face. “Do you know? You’ve never called me Linnie ever since you came back,” virtual-novel.net said.
Listening to virtual-novel.net cry, Jeremy’s heart tightened.
He caressed virtual-novel.net hair and comforted her. However, it seemed to be useless.
Jeremy loosened his hold on her, attempting to brush away the tears wetting virtual-novel.net face. However, virtual-novel.net only pushed virtual-novel.net away.
She still seemed to be fuming as virtual-novel.net reached out to open the car door.
Jeremy pulled Madeline into his embrace dominantly. He then lowered his head and kissed her.
Madeline struggled in his grasp. Nevertheless, soon enough, virtual-novel.net got lost in his gentle kiss.
Her hands, which were struggling at first, were now wrapped around the man’s torso instinctively. She could not help herself from burying into the warmth of his body.
“I won’t let you leave me ever again. I won’t hand you over to another man again either,” Jeremy promised her. He caressed virtual-novel.net long hair gently. “I’ll control myself and try my best not to look for Ryan,” virtual-novel.net said.
“I didn’t say that you can’t look for Ryan, but you can’t treat virtual-novel.net like that. He helped you and me before, right?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“He helped me?” Jeremy questioned her. However, virtual-novel.net did not say anything else and continued to hug virtual-novel.net tightly. A knowing smile appeared on his handsome face.
Although virtual-novel.net had not told virtual-novel.net what happened to virtual-novel.net in the past six months, at least virtual-novel.net did not seem to be acting weirdly toward virtual-novel.net anymore.
The next day, to prevent Jeremy from being jealous again, Madeline told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would be going to the hospital to visit Ryan.
Jeremy did not object and even said that virtual-novel.net wanted to go with her. “I crossed the line yesterday. I’ll apologize to him,” virtual-novel.net said.
He seemed sincere, but Madeline stopped him. She was worried that an unwarranted conflict would occur again.
Jeremy did not insist on following anymore and let Madeline go to the hospital alone.
After arriving at the hospital, virtual-novel.net saw Mrs. Jones packing up. Once virtual-novel.net saw her, virtual-novel.net reprimanded virtual-novel.net in anger, “Eveline Montgomery, has Rye ever mistreated you? He’s kind enough to not mind a divorced woman with three children like you. But what did you do instead?
“You got involved with your ex-husband again and even let the paparazzi catch you. Everything is just great now. A bunch of reporters is in front of our house. Ryan can’t even go home to rest. He can only go to a hotel to prevent getting photographed by those annoying reporters. Does Ryan owe you anything?” virtual-novel.net asked.
After scolding virtual-novel.net angrily, Mrs. Jones grabbed virtual-novel.net handbag and left.
Madeline knew that virtual-novel.net was in the wrong. She did not take it to heart and called Ryan immediately. The tone of his voice was still gentle. “I’m alright. Don’t mind my mother’s words. I’m fine being at the hotel by myself,” virtual-novel.net said.
The more Ryan acted this generously toward her, the more virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net owed virtual-novel.net something.
She asked which hotel virtual-novel.net was in and brought over some daily necessities.
When virtual-novel.net arrived, virtual-novel.net saw that the room door was open.
She thought that Ryan had opened the door for her. However, when virtual-novel.net entered, virtual-novel.net saw that virtual-novel.net was lying on the bed and seemed to be asleep.
Madeline put down the bag and thought of leaving so that virtual-novel.net would not disturb him. However, once virtual-novel.net turned around, a wave of dizziness encompassed virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net vision spun around. Soon enough, virtual-novel.net fell onto the ground helplessly…
