Over at the other end, Shirley, against the will of virtual-novel.net weak body, slipped away from Carter’s tight embrace.
The phone in virtual-novel.net coat started vibrating as virtual-novel.net got up.
Sitting on the bed, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath before picking up virtual-novel.net coat.
The phone was still vibrating. Seeing the remark on the screen made virtual-novel.net frown.
As virtual-novel.net contemplated whether to answer Jeremy’s call, an icy palm suddenly grasped virtual-novel.net wrist, followed by an extremely cold voice that ambushed virtual-novel.net from behind.
“You really did fall in love with Jeremy. You’d even want to answer his call at this time.”
Carter’s chilly voice, suffused with dissatisfaction, pierced into Shirley’s ears.
Before virtual-novel.net had time to explain, Carter snatched virtual-novel.net phone away and threw it forcefully at the corner of the wall.
The phone immediately stopped vibrating; the screen shattered into pieces.
In low spirits, Shirley stared at the shattered phone, sitting at the same spot in a daze. A sense of endless loneliness invaded every cell in virtual-novel.net body, causing virtual-novel.net to feel cold all over.
Carter got up calmly. In a carefree demeanor, virtual-novel.net wore back his shirt and other clothing that virtual-novel.net had removed, one by one.
As if nothing had happened a moment ago, virtual-novel.net remained as the noble and elegant prince in everyone’s eyes.
With his unique and deep eyes, virtual-novel.net looked askance at Shirley, towering over her.
“Enough with this pitiful expression. Didn’t you use to seduce me like this? Heh.” In the end, virtual-novel.net let out a cold chuckle, brimming with endless derision and disdain.
After saying that, Carter turned around casually.
Shirley put on virtual-novel.net coat as virtual-novel.net walked to the corner of the wall, picking up the shattered phone.
As virtual-novel.net had expected, the phone was shattered to the point where there was no way to turn it on, its cracked screen resembling a spider web.
However, virtual-novel.net phone still contained a lot of important information, so virtual-novel.net had no choice but to keep it for now.
Shirley dragged virtual-novel.net heavy body upright. When virtual-novel.net turned, heading to the bathroom for a shower, virtual-novel.net saw the photo frame, tossed onto the desk.
She walked over and took it for a look. She immediately felt heat surging to the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes.
If virtual-novel.net had not made that decision back then, would Carter have turned out differently?
She remembered. During those years when virtual-novel.net knew him, virtual-novel.net would smile.
…
Back on this end, Jeremy, standing on the balcony, tried calling Shirley for the third time. He still had been able to get through on the first call, but now the phone seemed to be turned off. Jeremy figured that Shirley had turned off virtual-novel.net phone, deliberately ignoring his calls.
He had no other options for now, so virtual-novel.net could only go back to his room.
As virtual-novel.net returned to the bedroom, much to his surprise, virtual-novel.net saw Madeline slowly waking.
Jeremy quickly ran to the side of the bed. “Linnie, are you awake?”
Madeline moved virtual-novel.net eyelids, opening virtual-novel.net eyes.
When virtual-novel.net saw the man in front of her, Madeline pressed virtual-novel.net lips together into a small smile. “Jeremy…”
Her tone sounded extraordinarily weak, as if all of the energy in virtual-novel.net body had been sucked dry.
“Linnie, I’m here. How do you feel now? Are you still feeling unwell?” Jeremy helped Madeline sit upright, letting virtual-novel.net lean on his chest.
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head. “I’m fine now. I just feel exhausted all over.”
Jeremy tightened his embrace, empathizing. “Linnie, let’s head back to Glendale. Adam will think of a way to help you.”
“Can we still leave today?” Madeline looked out the window. Initially, they were going to take the flight this afternoon, but it was already night now.
“I’ve already booked plane tickets for tomorrow afternoon. We’ll definitely go home tomorrow, Linnie.” Jeremy promised as virtual-novel.net held virtual-novel.net hand.
Madeline looked into Jeremy’s gaze, filled with concern and empathy, and lifted virtual-novel.net hand to touch his cheeks. “Okay.”
However, the doorbell rang at this moment, which was followed by the sounds of hurried knocks on the door.
