She was always imagining the scene of virtual-novel.net reunion with Jeremy. However, virtual-novel.net did not expect to see the man virtual-novel.net loved and the woman impersonating virtual-novel.net in such a situation. They had just picked the children up from school and were wandering in the busy streets happily.
Madeline felt as if virtual-novel.net heart had been slashed open and the cold autumn wind was penetrating through it.
When virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy and that woman holding Jackson and Lillian’s hands to cross the road, Madeline suddenly lifted virtual-novel.net hand and rolled down the window.
“Jeremy.”
She could not help but call out his name. However, the voice that came out of virtual-novel.net lips sounded as hoarse as the voice of a heavy smoker. At that moment, virtual-novel.net was completely stunned.
Even so, it was as if Jeremy had sensed something or heard something. He looked in Madeline’s direction, but at that instant, Madeline shifted virtual-novel.net gaze in a panic and quickly rolled up the window.
They were separated by the window but Madeline could feel virtual-novel.net face heating up as if a fire was burning virtual-novel.net face.
She could vaguely feel the gaze that virtual-novel.net was familiar with. However, virtual-novel.net did not dare to turn around.
The light turned green at this moment and Madeline saw Jeremy’s tall figure passing by from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net body had been stabbed by something sharp. Her eyes had turned red, but virtual-novel.net was forcing herself not to cry.
That man was right. Getting sad was the most useless thing in the world. She would only see hope and light if virtual-novel.net faced it bravely.
Madeline arrived at the front door of Jones Manor in the cab.
After virtual-novel.net got out of the car, virtual-novel.net saw that the doors were tightly shut.
The wind from the late autumn kept attacking her. The wind felt as if it was seeping into virtual-novel.net skin and the coldness was inching into virtual-novel.net heart.
She held the urn and walked to the door before pressing the doorbell.
After a while, a maid came to open the door.
“Who are you?” The maid curiously looked at Madeline up and down. The maid thought that Madeline was someone who was terrified of the cold because virtual-novel.net was wearing a mask with a scarf. Plus, the only thing virtual-novel.net could see was virtual-novel.net eyes. If virtual-novel.net was not, then virtual-novel.net had no reason to wrap virtual-novel.net face up so tightly.
“Are Mr. and Mrs. Jones home?” Madeline asked.
When the maid heard Madeline’s dry and hoarse voice, the look in virtual-novel.net eyes changed. Perhaps virtual-novel.net did not expect a woman with such beautiful eyes to have a voice that was so unpleasant to hear.
“They’re not home. Who are you? What do you want?” The maid started to get impatient.
Madeline did not waste any time. She handed over the urn in virtual-novel.net hand. There was also a card that virtual-novel.net had written before virtual-novel.net came to Glendale.
“Please hand this to Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Please tell them to restrain their grief and accept fate.”
“What? Restrain their grief?” The maid looked at Madeline with a weird look on virtual-novel.net face.
Madeline did not say anything more. She placed the urn carefully on the shelf near the door before turning around.
However, the moment virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net saw Mr. and Mrs. Jones coming back in their car from outside. When their eyes met, Madeline pondered for a few seconds before leaving.
What virtual-novel.net wanted to say was all on the card.
After Mr. and Mrs. Jones got out of the car, they looked in the direction where Madeline had hurriedly left. “Who’s that woman? Why is virtual-novel.net coming out of our house?”
“She looks familiar, but I can’t remember for now.”
Mr. Jones was puzzled as well. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
“I wonder what happened to Rye. He hasn’t been back in so many days. If someone exposes him, I’m worried that he’ll get into trouble again. It was so hard for me to pull the strings to change Rye’s sentence. I hope nothing will happen again.”
“It won’t. There won’t be any problems. Rye is someone who knows to do things within the norms.”
“His norms completely changed after virtual-novel.net met Eveline.” Mr. Jones sighed helplessly. When virtual-novel.net walked into the door and the courtyard, virtual-novel.net saw the maid standing in a daze next to the shrubs. “What are you looking at?”
“There was a woman just now. She left this urn and card before leaving.” The maid pointed at the urn and handed the card over hurriedly.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones looked at the urn nearby and opened the card curiously.
When they saw the contents of the card, Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ visions turned black almost immediately. They felt as if they had plunged into the bottomless sea where coldness started penetrating their bones and blood.
