"You want to accompany me?" Lana looked surprised. "Really?"Jeremy nodded. "I’m your man now. Shouldn't it only be right for me to accompany you to deal with trivial matters?"Upon hearing this, Lana’s smile grew even wider. "Okay, you can come with me."The meeting place was a five-star restaurant, and Jeremy was walking beside Lana as they entered a private room.The other party was a gentleman who did not seem to be someone who would be involved in illegal transactions, but appearances could be deceiving.Jeremy listened indifferently as if he was just a trophy partner accompanying Lana.It did not take long for matters to be discussed smoothly. When he left, the man even teased by saying, “Miss Johnson, your new boyfriend doesn’t look half bad. It seems that the Stygian Johnson Gang’s business will only grow bigger and bigger.”Lana took out a cigarette smugly. "Of course. I’ll hand over part of the business to my boyfriend after this and will have to ask Mr. Xavier to look
Jeremy had not expected that Madeline would be marrying Ryan.He thought Madeline was lying to him, but after he opened the invitation letter, he did indeed see her and Ryan's names."A second marriage so soon?" Jeremy asked with a smile.Madeline looked at him coldly. "No, you’re wrong, it's the third.""...""I have split from and reunited with you so many times, even getting married twice and divorcing you twice. When I was desperate to get the divorce certificate with you the second time, I thought you would be my only support for the rest of my life, but the truth has proven that we will not come to fruition."Madeline looked at the man with a smile on her lips, shooting an indifferent glance over."I’m really tired. When I was young, I had hoped that my parents would love me and adore me. After nearly 30 years, I’ve finally gotten it, but they have now left me forever. When I grew up, I married the man I loved the most. I had hoped that this man could love me like how I lo
Jeremy did not give Karen the chance to ask questions, however. He got up and left.In order not to disturb Madeline, Karen did not call out to Jeremy again.Seeing Jeremy enter Jackson and Lillian's room, she did not follow him in so as to not bother them.Jeremy hugged the two little babies who were asleep. Looking at the two calm faces, his heart was filled with resentment and guilt.He set his eyes on Lillian’s sleeping face, his deep eyes gentle and watery."Lillian, I’ll never have the chance to hear you call me ‘Daddy’ anymore, but you’re the only little princess in my heart."He bowed his head and wanted to kiss her cute little cheek, but thinking of the blood he had just coughed up, he felt that he was not even qualified to hold the child.Jeremy left sadly, looking at Madeline's door quietly for a long time before he was ready to leave. When he turned around, however, he saw Jackson standing in front of him. Those clear and simple eyes were looking at him very seriousl
Upon hearing what her son said, something seemed to be fiercely tugging at Madeline's consciousness.She returned to her senses and calmed down, asking with a smile, "Jack, did he really tell you that? When did he tell you this?""Daddy came to visit Lilly and me last night, but he left really quickly." Jackson's big eyes were filled with loneliness and reluctance. One could see that his feelings for Jeremy were very deep.Madeline's heartbeat became very irregular after listening to her son's words.As if nothing had happened, she kissed his cute little cheek and comforted him. "Jack, have breakfast first. Look, even Lilly is almost done eating."When Lillian heard Madeline mentioning her, she raised her lively big eyes and smiled.Madeline's broken heart was healed a little by this warm smile, but she was still bothered about what her son said just now.After sending the two children to school, Madeline hesitated while holding the mobile phone before finally dialing Jeremy's n
Madeline glanced at Lana. "I said, I have something to tell you."A faint smile appeared on Jeremy's handsome face. "There are no outsiders here. My business is also my girlfriend's business. If Miss Montgomery has something to say, just say it."Jeremy's contemptuous attitude made Madeline’s heart go completely dead.Just as she was about to speak, Lana walked over leisurely and leaned close into Jeremy's side. Her tone was coquettish when she said, ”Jeremy, as your rightful girlfriend, I won't bother your talk with this Miss Montgomery. I’ll go to the dessert shop downstairs to make a reservation. I’ll wait for you to come down and have afternoon tea with me later."Jeremy smiled at Lana softly. "Alright, you go ahead first. I’ll come down and accompany you soon.""Alright." Lana curled her red lips and walked past Madeline with a complacent smile. "Miss Montgomery, I heard that you’re to be married to Ryan Jones soon. Since you can find a man to marry you just after your divorc
The words he uttered from his lips were filled with intense dissatisfaction.His cold eyes had the same dismissive feeling as back then.Madeline looked at this resolute and stern face without any expectation or light in her eyes."Don't worry, I’ll never come to you again. You’re no longer the one I love. The moment you chose Lana, I had already given up on you.""That's for the best," Jeremy sneered with the corners of his seductive lips, "I don't want to be thought of by you anymore. Do you know that in the past few years, I really grew tired of your attachment to me?”Tired.It turned out that he had been tired of her love and attachment toward him since a long time ago.Madeline's cold heart shuddered again.At this moment, her cell phone rang. Ryan was calling.Madeline picked up the call and Ryan's gentle voice sounded. "I'm downstairs Whitman Corporation. Will you still take long?"Madeline adjusted her emotions and replied, "Ryan, I’ll head down right away. Please wa
Madeline was seated in Ryan's car. Looking at the empty ring finger on her left hand, she inevitably remembered her separation and reunion with Jeremy over the years.She was suddenly confused. In these years, had Jeremy ever really loved her?Surely he had.That was why he was able to protect her at all costs back then.That was why when he had hugged her to sleep previously, he would show a pure childlike smile.‘But Jeremy, what wrong step did we take that things have turned out this way between us…’Her heart ached silently. Ryan stretched out his hand suddenly and gently held hers. He did not say anything and just gave Madeline a warm look."I want to make the wedding matters a little simpler. What do you think?" Ryan asked for Madeline's opinion gently.The Joneses were a famous family in Glendale. Now that Ryan was getting married, the wedding was bound to be a sensation.Madeline thought that this might be the case because she had been married twice, got divorced twice
Madeline had just walked to the door of the room when the lights inside suddenly went out.For a moment, she felt a black shadow flashing past her eyes, but it was only for a moment.Madeline reacted instantly and immediately turned on the lights, but after the lights were switched on, there was no one in the room—only an opened wedding photo album that was on the bed.Madeline walked in, faintly smelling a cold light fragrance through her nose. She suddenly understood something.Seeing herself smiling so sullenly in the wedding photo and the man’s cold and cheerless features, Madeline gently picked up the photo album before forcefully tearing the wedding photo in half.Jeremy, who was standing behind the curtain of the balcony, saw this scene. It was as if his heart was being penetrated by a sharp blade.He watched Madeline put down the jewelry box she was gently holding onto before she left without even turning her head.After he saw her drive away, Jeremy returned to the room
