Jeremy stopped walking. Then, virtual-novel.net looked at the smiling woman with his soft gaze.
He could guess what was going on. His brows started furrowing together as his expression became heavy as well.
“No.” He rejected her.
Madeline smiled mischievously. “I haven’t told you what it is.”
“I know what you want to say.” There was a smart glint in Jeremy’s eyes. “Linnie, I said no.”
He emphasized again, his expression looking even more solemn.
The smile on Madeline’s face started fading away. “Jeremy, let me do something for you. I’m your wife. I can’t bear to watch my husband being framed.”
Jeremy walked in front of Madeline. “It’s because you’re my wife that I can’t let you risk yourself like this.”
“I want to.”
“But I don’t.”
“…”
Madeline did not know what to say. Once again, virtual-novel.net felt that the person in the world who was more stubborn than virtual-novel.net was Jeremy.
She left the hotel with virtual-novel.net with no choice. They wanted to go back to the manor to visit their children, but they knew someone would be watching for them in the manor and their new house.
Madeline and Jeremy booked a room in a cheap motel. The motel did not ask them for identification, so it was perfect.
After the two of them took turns showering in the tiny bathroom, they sat on the balcony to enjoy the breeze.
Under the silent night sky, the stars were twinkling. Everything looked so peaceful and serene.
Madeline leaned virtual-novel.net head against Jeremy’s shoulder and snuggled against his warm embrace.
“Jeremy, do you know? I was so happy when I married you back then. I was the happiest when I got to be your wife.” She reminisced about virtual-novel.net bitter past that was laced with the sweetness from when they were young and inexperienced.
However, when virtual-novel.net remembered that virtual-novel.net did not have much time left, virtual-novel.net felt unbearable pain in virtual-novel.net heart.
“Jeremy, after this is over, let’s take our whole family to travel around the world, okay?”
Jeremy lowered his head, his charming eyes looking into the longing look in virtual-novel.net eyes.
He knew virtual-novel.net was suffering horribly too.
He did not say anything. Instead, virtual-novel.net just kissed virtual-novel.net lips as a response.
Madeline held virtual-novel.net sadly. ‘Jeremy, how are you going to expect me to accept the cruel fact about you leaving me and the children two years later?
‘No, I won’t let you die just like this.’
Madeline’s heart was breaking as virtual-novel.net thought about what virtual-novel.net was going to do next.
However, it was as if Jeremy was trying to stop virtual-novel.net from overthinking. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net pressed another deep and passionate kiss on virtual-novel.net lips.
He carried virtual-novel.net to the tiny bed before pressing against virtual-novel.net longingly and gently.
Madeline did not know whether they were finding joy amidst pain, but at this moment, virtual-novel.net just wanted to drown in his arms forever…
In the middle of the night.
Madeline snuck away from Jeremy’s arms and found a solid perfume from virtual-novel.net bag before putting it on.
Looking at the man deep in slumber, virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net hand and touched delicate face.
After a few seconds, Madeline lowered virtual-novel.net head to press virtual-novel.net lips against Jeremy’s. She only let go after a very long time.
She held back virtual-novel.net tears as virtual-novel.net looked at the man’s fair face. “Jeremy, you’re my life.”
Madeline changed virtual-novel.net clothes after virtual-novel.net said that. The moment virtual-novel.net closed the door to leave the room, virtual-novel.net looked reluctantly at Jeremy’s face before leaving.
After virtual-novel.net left the motel, Madeline called Ryan.
Ryan had just gotten off the plane when virtual-novel.net received Madeline’s call out of the blue. He curled the corners of his lips.
