He asked the person on the other end of the phone lazily.
Madeline subconsciously looked at the man with the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes. Then, virtual-novel.net heard Jeremy exclaiming in puzzlement. “Ryan is dead?”
After Jeremy said that, Madeline noticed the woman who was impersonating virtual-novel.net lifting virtual-novel.net head suddenly. Plus, virtual-novel.net expression and the look in virtual-novel.net eyes had changed as well.
She looked as if virtual-novel.net was in shock. However, Madeline noticed another subtle expression.
After Jeremy hung up the phone, Madeline saw the imposter recomposing virtual-novel.net expression before walking over to ask.
“Jeremy, what did you say? Ryan is dead? He’s in jail, so how’d virtual-novel.net die all of a sudden?” virtual-novel.net asked, virtual-novel.net eyes filled with intense desire for information.
Jeremy looked at the imposter and said flatly, “I don’t know the details but I know the Jones family is having a funeral. It’s confirmed that Ryan is dead.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Jeremy saw that the woman was taken aback. She looked as if virtual-novel.net was in a daze.
“Linnie, is it difficult for you to accept this?” virtual-novel.net asked softly.
The imposter came back to virtual-novel.net senses and shook virtual-novel.net head. “Why would I be sad? He did all those things to me and tried to separate us, so why would I be sad for him? Of course not, no…”
The woman said, and toward the end, virtual-novel.net sounded like virtual-novel.net was mumbling to herself.
Madeline noticed something was amiss but at the same time, virtual-novel.net phone rang.
This was the phone Carter gave virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net left. At this point in time, virtual-novel.net was the only person who could call her.
After Madeline answered the call, virtual-novel.net chatted briefly before hanging up.
She glanced at the imposter before walking near Jeremy. “Mr. Whitman, I have to pack some of my clothes and daily necessities. I’ll come back later.”
“I’m going out as well. Let me drive you.”
“No need.”
“You don’t have to be so courteous. Let’s go.”
“…”
He did not give Madeline a chance to reject virtual-novel.net at all. Jeremy went straight to the garage and drove the car in front of Madeline, who was about to leave.
He even got out of the car and opened the passenger seat for Madeline in a gentlemanly manner.
“Thank you.” After Madeline thanked him, virtual-novel.net got into the passenger seat.
Then, virtual-novel.net remembered how Jeremy would never allow other women to sit in his passenger seat, but on this day, not only did virtual-novel.net voluntarily ask virtual-novel.net to get in, but virtual-novel.net even opened the door for virtual-novel.net in a friendly manner.
‘Jeremy, you’re feeling something for me, right?’
Madeline pondered, and virtual-novel.net could feel the wound in virtual-novel.net heart starting to heal slowly.
“Where do you live, Miss Quinn?” Jeremy asked.
“You can drop me off in front of the subway station ahead, Mr. Whitman. It’s convenient for me to go home on the subway.”
“Since you’re in my car, of course, I’ll be sending you to your door safely.”
“…”
Madeline had nothing to say to him. Why did virtual-novel.net not know that Jeremy was such a kind-hearted person back then?
However, how could virtual-novel.net tell virtual-novel.net where virtual-novel.net was living now? She had no choice, so Madeline could only tell virtual-novel.net the name of a random apartment.
Jeremy nodded and asked, “Are you living alone, Miss Quinn?”
In order to stop Jeremy from feeling suspicious, Madeline made up a lie. “I’m staying with my boyfriend.”
However, after virtual-novel.net said that, a child suddenly ran out to the road in front of them. Jeremy slammed his foot down on the brake but because of inertia, Madeline’s body plunged forward as virtual-novel.net subconsciously used virtual-novel.net hands to hold the dashboard in front of her.
Luckily, the child was not hurt and Madeline let out a sigh of relief.
However, when virtual-novel.net was about to let go, Jeremy grabbed virtual-novel.net left hand all of a sudden.
Madeline looked over in confusion. Then, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy looking at the wedding ring on virtual-novel.net left ring finger with a piercing stare.
