The woman walking next to Jeremy stopped walking as well. Her face was filled with a grin that virtual-novel.net could not hide. She then asked in a sweet voice, “Jeremy, what’s wrong? What are you looking at?”
Madeline could not believe this. This woman’s voice was almost the same as hers back then too. However, virtual-novel.net never had that tone that was full of pretense.
Jeremy ignored the woman next to virtual-novel.net at this moment. He was staring at Madeline absent-mindedly.
For some reason, Jeremy felt as if his heartbeat and breathing were under the control of the pair of eyes that were not far away from him.
‘Could there be another woman with the same eyes as Linnie in this world?’
Jeremy had this question in his heart. He could not help but take a step forward and walk toward Madeline who was quietly standing alone in the rain.
Immediately, the happy woman who was holding the roses had an annoyed expression on virtual-novel.net face when virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy suddenly walking to a woman who had virtual-novel.net face covered while holding an umbrella.
The woman curled virtual-novel.net lips unhappily at Jeremy’s back where virtual-novel.net could not see before following him.
On the other hand, as Madeline watched Jeremy walking toward her, virtual-novel.net heartbeat started to get erratic.
This was the man who virtual-novel.net had been dreaming about this entire time. He was now walking toward her, but somehow, virtual-novel.net had the urge to back away.
She hoped that Jeremy would recognize her, but at the same time, virtual-novel.net was also scared that virtual-novel.net would.
He fixed his deep eyes on her, and Madeline felt the grievances that were hidden in virtual-novel.net heart about to pour down in torrents.
This was the man virtual-novel.net wanted to depend on the most in virtual-novel.net lifetime. She wanted to remove virtual-novel.net tough armor in front of virtual-novel.net and only wanted to be protected and loved by him.
Madeline could not control virtual-novel.net emotions anymore. She looked expectantly at Jeremy. Before virtual-novel.net could stop herself, virtual-novel.net parted virtual-novel.net lips.
“Jer—”
“Jeremy, who’s this? Do you know her?”
After Madeline uttered the first syllable, the imposter interrupted her.
The woman walked up to Jeremy and virtual-novel.net gaze landed on Madeline’s face.
When the woman saw Madeline with a mask and a scarf as well as the small scar on virtual-novel.net forehead, virtual-novel.net shifted virtual-novel.net gaze coldly. “Jeremy, let’s go home now. The children are waiting for us.”
When virtual-novel.net heard this, Madeline’s eyebrows furrowed.
She stared straight at Jeremy as virtual-novel.net eyes bled with the desire to say something, but virtual-novel.net still swallowed the words down in the end.
On the other hand, Jeremy did not know why but virtual-novel.net handed his umbrella over to virtual-novel.net with no explanation as virtual-novel.net looked at those eyes that appeared as if they could talk.
“For you.” He parted his lips slightly, his tone so gentle.
The woman looked at Jeremy strangely. “Jeremy, is this your friend?”
Jeremy did not say anything. He merely stared at Madeline and noticed that virtual-novel.net was also spacing out while staring at him. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Madeline’s right hand to stuff the umbrella into virtual-novel.net hand.
“Don’t stay in the rain even if you’re in a bad mood. You’ll get sick,” virtual-novel.net advised kind-heartedly.
Madeline’s heart was trembling furiously. The moment Jeremy held virtual-novel.net hand, virtual-novel.net tears almost escaped virtual-novel.net eyes disobediently.
Jeremy was at a loss about what to do as virtual-novel.net did not expect Madeline to cry. Plus, virtual-novel.net also did not know why his heart would feel the pain of being burnt by virtual-novel.net tears.
“Jeremy, let’s go. The rain is getting heavier.” The woman urged again. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline crying, virtual-novel.net was even more curious. “Jeremy, does this woman know you? Why is virtual-novel.net crying?”
Jeremy finally let go of Madeline’s hand and shook his head. Then, virtual-novel.net parted his lips and said to the woman, “Let’s go home.”
Madeline lowered virtual-novel.net head dully after virtual-novel.net heard that. “Thank you.”
She said softly, but after virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net voice made Jeremy and the woman look at virtual-novel.net again at the same time.
Madeline felt their gazes on virtual-novel.net and smiled. She hid the wedding ring on the ring finger of virtual-novel.net left hand. Then, virtual-novel.net held the umbrella Jeremy gave virtual-novel.net with virtual-novel.net right hand and walked forward.
Jeremy turned around and looked at Madeline’s thin back that was getting farther and farther away. He unconsciously spaced out in the rain for a long while.
