After Madeline was asked this question, virtual-novel.net started to feel unsure.
She did not know if the man had seen through something or perhaps found out something. In short, the way virtual-novel.net was looking at virtual-novel.net right now was pretty sharp.
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net confused and innocent eyes. Then, virtual-novel.net asked in puzzlement, “Can you explain to me? I’m not sure what you mean?”
A hidden smile flashed vaguely across the man’s icy face. “Jeremy Whitman has always been a frigid man who’s not amenable to reason with everyone in Glendale. However, virtual-novel.net gave his umbrella to you and willingly stood in the rain with the woman virtual-novel.net loves most.”
He said before pausing. His gaze became deeper as virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline. “Why is virtual-novel.net so considerate toward you?”
Madeline was puzzled by this question as well.
He was right. Jeremy was indeed someone like that, but virtual-novel.net was not completely cold-blooded. Sometimes, virtual-novel.net would also help people in need. However, what happened just now would indeed confuse some people.
“I don’t know why virtual-novel.net did that. Maybe virtual-novel.net thought I looked pitiful.” Madeline found a reason but virtual-novel.net herself had no idea what the true reason was.
“Pitiful?” The man watched the changes in Madeline’s expression like virtual-novel.net was examining her. “I guess the young master of Glendale is not as cold and cruel as the rumors say.”
The man said lazily. However, one could hear the deeper meaning in his words. Plus, his eyes were filled with questions as well. It was clear that virtual-novel.net did not accept the excuse Madeline came up with.
Then, Madeline heard the man saying.
“A woman who didn’t cry when virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net was disfigured was moved to tears on the streets after Jeremy gave virtual-novel.net an umbrella. Don’t you think your behavior is a little conflicting?”
“…”
Madeline felt that virtual-novel.net could not continue hiding anymore.
She truly had no idea that this man had been tracking virtual-novel.net every move since the afternoon.
He even knew of virtual-novel.net crying after Jeremy handed virtual-novel.net the umbrella.
“Not only that, when you saw Jeremy, you reacted strangely as well. I think you have an extraordinary relationship with him.”
The man came to such a conclusion in the end.
Madeline looked at his wise black eyes and furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows.
“Yeah, you’re right. I have an extraordinary relationship with him.”
The man’s gaze changed when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline admitting to this.
“What’s your relationship with him? Why is virtual-novel.net so concerned about you? Also, why were you moved to tears because of what virtual-novel.net did?”
Madeline got up slowly after virtual-novel.net heard that. She curled the corners of virtual-novel.net lips into a sarcastic smirk. “Do you think I was moved to tears because virtual-novel.net was concerned about me?”
The man lifted his handsome eyebrows in confusion. “Hmm?”
“He wasn’t concerned about me. He just wanted to make up for his mistakes in the past. I wasn’t moved, I just hate him.”
When the man heard that, his clear head suddenly became muddled.
“He’s making it up to you and you hate him?”
“Yeah.”
Madeline gave a definite answer without thinking and then looked into the man’s suspecting eyes before starting to seriously spew nonsense.
“Back then, I used to like virtual-novel.net very much. I didn’t hesitate to throw away my dignity and self-respect to chase after this man. He said virtual-novel.net liked me too, but in the end, virtual-novel.net played with my feelings and abandoned me to marry another woman. He hurt me all over and now, I still can’t get over the trauma virtual-novel.net has caused me. That’s why I despise him.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Madeline gritted virtual-novel.net teeth seriously to show virtual-novel.net hatred.
However, virtual-novel.net did not think that virtual-novel.net was completely lying when virtual-novel.net said that. Jeremy had indeed let virtual-novel.net down when virtual-novel.net was passionately chasing after virtual-novel.net back then.
However, the fact was that Jeremy married virtual-novel.net in the end. The person virtual-novel.net loved was her.
“You’re saying that Jeremy toyed with your feelings? And somehow, the woman virtual-novel.net married is also coincidentally named Eveline Montgomery?”
Madeline nodded and tried virtual-novel.net best to show virtual-novel.net hatred toward Jeremy as well as virtual-novel.net reluctance to let virtual-novel.net go.
