“Jeremy, don’t leave me.” Still in virtual-novel.net drunken stupor, Madeline’s eyes were half-open and full of reluctance.
Jeremy held virtual-novel.net hand. Madeline’s small pink face was reflected in his amber pupils.
He promised softly, “I’m not going to leave you.”
“You are.” Madeline’s eyes were hot. “You’ll leave me. You will…”
Jeremy was taken aback for a moment and suddenly did not know how virtual-novel.net should respond.
Yes, it was true. He was going to leave her. At most, virtual-novel.net had two years to stay with virtual-novel.net and the children.
“Linnie.” Jeremy’s heart tightened.
Madeline’s eyes turned red as virtual-novel.net suddenly wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around his neck tightly. “Don’t go. I don’t want to experience the feeling of losing you again.”
Jeremy gulped as an unignorable pain surged in his heart.
He stroked Madeline’s head to comfort her.
He then heard Madeline’s crying sobs. “During your absence for half a year, I thought you had left me forever. Every night after the kids were asleep, I’d just lay alone in bed in a daze. I didn’t know how I should live the rest of my life.
“Why did Cupid make two people who could not be together fall in love? Why…” Madeline muttered to herself as virtual-novel.net hugged virtual-novel.net in distress. Her voice was ridden with guilt. “Jeremy, don’t be angry with me. I didn’t mean to lie to you. I’m sorry…”
When Jeremy heard virtual-novel.net apology to him, virtual-novel.net felt worse.
Why did virtual-novel.net have to get angry at her?
If virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net had a reason, why did virtual-novel.net have to make it hard for her?
Although Madeline was drunk and virtual-novel.net mind was all over the place, virtual-novel.net still knew very well that virtual-novel.net had made Jeremy angry.
When Madeline saw that virtual-novel.net was still not saying anything to her, virtual-novel.net felt worse. She held his cheeks and met his deep-set eyes with a sullen gaze.
When virtual-novel.net thought about Ryan’s exchange terms, virtual-novel.net recalled the terrible poison that Adam created. She thought about not being able to save the guy in front of virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net tears started rolling down uncontrollably.
On the outside, virtual-novel.net was strong, sharp, and never showed weakness when virtual-novel.net met with trouble. However, when virtual-novel.net was faced with the man virtual-novel.net loved, virtual-novel.net did not want to pretend to be strong anymore.
“Jeremy, I’m sorry.”
‘I shouldn’t have angered Ryan and put your health at risk.’
Madeline blamed herself. “I’m sorry. I’m so—”
Jeremy did not want to let Madeline continue apologizing, so virtual-novel.net sealed virtual-novel.net lips with his.
Time seemed to stand still in that second. Madeline blinked and gradually became sober.
Jeremy let go of virtual-novel.net lips and stroked virtual-novel.net flushed cheeks with regret. “I’m sorry, Linnie. I’m not angry with you. Even if you have to lie to me, I don’t mind.”
His low voice slipped gently into virtual-novel.net ears.
Madeline’s eyes became redder. “Are you really not angry with me?”
“Of course, I’m not angry at you.” He held virtual-novel.net hand affectionately. “Because I love you.”
When Madeline heard virtual-novel.net confessing to her, virtual-novel.net could not help but cry like a child.
Jeremy lowered his head and kissed away the teardrops on the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes. His lips finally landed on hers.
Madeline closed virtual-novel.net eyes and responded jerkily but also instinctively to his kiss.
Jeremy’s warm fingertips brushed across virtual-novel.net skin lightly, making Madeline feel as if a stream of clear spring was falling onto virtual-novel.net hot heart. The sweet and refreshing feeling gradually made virtual-novel.net relax.
The moonlight deepened outside the window and the summer evening breeze blew past the curtains by the French windows, but it did not blow away the warmth in the room.
“Jeremy…”
“Yeah?”
“I love you too.” Madeline poured virtual-novel.net heart out.
Jeremy chuckled softly and responded with two words, “I know.”
Yeah, virtual-novel.net knew.
He always knew how much virtual-novel.net loved him.
Whether it was before or in the future, virtual-novel.net knew that his name would be engraved on virtual-novel.net heart for life—even if virtual-novel.net died.
