He did not have any official matters to attend to, but virtual-novel.net did have this indescribable feeling of unease being alone with Madeline at this moment.
‘Linnie, could it be that I’m beginning to no longer be faithful to you?
‘No.’
Jeremy quickly denied it.
He could not possibly waver in his emotions for Madeline.
‘It’s just that, why on earth do I suddenly feel repulsed?’
Jeremy could not understand it and only chalked it up to virtual-novel.net possibly being too exhausted, leading to his current state of mind.
…
Madeline spent a few days on a small unknown island.
In these few days, Ryan would make an appearance during the day and then leave at night.
According to him, it seemed that virtual-novel.net still had to return to Glendale Prison at night. He had bought his freedom but was still not completely free.
He would also eventually not be able to appear openly in front of everyone.
That night, however, while Madeline was still asleep, virtual-novel.net faintly felt someone approaching her.
She opened virtual-novel.net eyes instinctively and caught Ryan’s dubious but gentle gaze under the dim light. Madeline sat up, on guard.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ve said it before, I’ll no longer hurt you.”
“I can’t possibly believe what you say anymore,” Madeline countered. “It’s because I trusted you so much back then that I had walked into your trap step by step.”
Faced with Madeline’s suspicion and rejection, Ryan smiled dismissively.
“I’ve brought you a gift. Why don’t you get up?”
‘A gift?’
Madeline subconsciously felt that this gift that Ryan was referring to was not something good at all.
Madeline slowly got out of bed after Ryan left the room.
There was no one to restrict virtual-novel.net movements on this small island, but it was impossible for virtual-novel.net to leave.
That was why Ryan was at ease with allowing Madeline to freely roam about here.
As Madeline walked out of the bedroom, a cool sea breeze blew toward her. It was accompanied by the scent of flowers. The air here could put one’s mind at ease.
However, Madeline had no care for that. She just wanted to leave.
A few days had passed and Madeline did not know what the woman who was impersonating virtual-novel.net had done.
Madeline looked down at the wedding ring on virtual-novel.net ring finger. The woman who wanted to impersonate virtual-novel.net should have also thought about taking the ring, but virtual-novel.net failed to do so.
‘Jeremy, I know you definitely won’t fall for it.
‘Definitely not.’
“You’re here.” Ryan’s voice came from beside her.
Madeline looked past virtual-novel.net indifferently, not even bothering to acknowledge Ryan.
Ryan did not mind it either. He knew that the current Madeline would reject virtual-novel.net or maybe even loathe him.
However, his affection for virtual-novel.net only increased, especially since that time when Madeline had willingly stayed behind to help virtual-novel.net with his wound.
It was also then when virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net was wrong, especially in his treatment toward her.
“I said I wanted to give you a gift just now.” Ryan took the initiative to approach Madeline, stretching his hand out to virtual-novel.net expectantly. “I won’t make you wait any longer. Come with me.”
