Ryan walked to Madeline. The halo of the sunset silently shone on his face, but his expression was obscure and uncertain."Eveline, I won't hurt you again, but I won't let you return to Jeremy's side.”Madeline heard his comment and calmly let out a smile. "Back then, you said to me that you'll never let me and Jeremy reunite, but things have proven themselves and I reunited with him. So what if you're trapping me here now? Soon, I'll be back by his side. And if you think that the lady you hired will be able to attain what she wants to achieve, then you can just forget about it!”She spat out those decisive and confident comments, then elegantly spun around to leave.Ryan was unhappy and frowned. Slowly, he clenched his hand that was hiding in his pocket into a fist.Looking at the vast sea made Ryan feel he was getting more narrow-minded.…Whitman Manor.After night arrived, the family had their dinner happily.The woman impersonating Madeline put on a fake smile on her face
It should be a voice that he liked and could make him touched, but somehow, Jeremy could not feel anything at that moment.Jeremy got up, sensing the silhouette that was slowly approaching him. He raised his eyes and saw her in a sleeping gown that he had never seen before. The sleeping gown was very thin and very sexy.Jeremy initially thought he would experience a surge of uncontrollable emotions within him, yet he evaded his gaze, finding it frustrating.He had no thoughts of being gentle with Madeline, let alone having thoughts of being intimate with her."Linnie, you go ahead and sleep first. I still have some work to do," Jeremy said and walked to the study desk.The lady was dumbfounded. She soon snapped out of it and saw the outline of Jeremy’s icy-cold back. Feeling curious, she lowered her head and glanced at her outfit.She even purposely looked at her left breast. She had put a mole there that was exactly like the one Madeline had.From her face till every part of he
Jeremy quickly got up. "Linnie, I'll go get it. Something might have happened to Mom.""Alright." Madeline nodded with a smile. She looked at the outline of Jeremy's back, the smile on her face gradually fading.She had nearly succeeded but something happened so suddenly.To Jeremy, Karen's appearance was just like the appearance of his savior.He never had this unusual feeling before, which he himself did not know the reason behind it. He found it unbelievable that being with Madeline would make him feel uncomfortable.Even back in those times, he had never felt that way before.Jeremy opened the door and saw Karen carrying Pudding in her hands. Her face was filled with anxiety. "What's wrong? Is Pudding not feeling well?""No." Karen shook her head. "It's about your father-in-law. He's still not back from working overtime. I have to put Pudding to sleep and Eloise is all by herself. If Eveline is not asleep yet, please ask her to keep Eloise accompany.""I'm not asleep yet.
Jeremy took big footsteps and headed to Eloise who was shouting loudly. His face wore a serious yet surprised expression. "Mom, you finally got the strength to talk?"However, it was as if Eloise did not hear Jeremy talking to her. She continued shrieking, "Eveline, I want Eveline!"The woman quickly comforted Eloise, afraid that Jeremy might get suspicious. There was a worried and anxious look on her face. "Mom, Eveline is right here. I’m your Eveline."Eloise raised her head and looked at the woman for some time, then suddenly shoved the woman’s hand away with a disgusted look. "You're not Eveline! You're not my Eveline!""..." The woman’s body trembled, her expression changing for the worse.She had just started launching the first step of her plan, but she did not expect it to end as a failure that fast.The woman wanted to seek an excuse saying that it was because of Eloise's illness, but from her peripheral vision, she saw Jeremy's outline inching closer to her."Mom, don'
He did not have any official matters to attend to, but he did have this indescribable feeling of unease being alone with Madeline at this moment.‘Linnie, could it be that I’m beginning to no longer be faithful to you?‘No.’Jeremy quickly denied it.He could not possibly waver in his emotions for Madeline. ‘It’s just that, why on earth do I suddenly feel repulsed?’Jeremy could not understand it and only chalked it up to him possibly being too exhausted, leading to his current state of mind.…Madeline spent a few days on a small unknown island.In these few days, Ryan would make an appearance during the day and then leave at night. According to him, it seemed that he still had to return to Glendale Prison at night. He had bought his freedom but was still not completely free.He would also eventually not be able to appear openly in front of everyone.That night, however, while Madeline was still asleep, she faintly felt someone approaching her.She opened her eyes insti
Madeline looked at Ryan’s hand that was outstretched toward her and looked away indifferently.She looked toward the landmark building in the direction of Glendale, missing in her heart her home and the people she cared about the most.Seeing that Madeline was ignoring him, Ryan stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist."What do you think you’re doing?""Even if you don't want to, you still have to do it at least once.""..."Just as Madeline was about to struggle, Ryan had already forcibly pulled her and moved to the other side of the island.The night sea breeze carried with it layers upon layers of coolness while the waves crashing against the coast sounded."Ryan, let me go,” Madeline ordered firmly.Ryan pretended not to have heard her. He pulled Madeline as he walked straight forward and only after a while did he stop.Madeline took the opportunity to break free from his hand. Just as she was about to turn around and walk away, she heard Ryan open his mouth to say,
Madeline was too lazy to explain anymore, so she left after saying that.However, after she took a few steps forward, Ryan suddenly grabbed her.Madeline was annoyed. When she was desperately trying to get away, she did not expect Ryan to grab her by the waist and pick her up bridal style.“Don’t be scared. I won’t do anything to you.” Ryan comforted her. He was worried that Madeline would do something extreme while resisting him.He carried Madeline to the bed in the bedroom. When he saw her trying to get up, he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back down.“Eveline, I don’t want to hurt you again. As long as you sleep quietly, I won’t do anything to you.” Ryan had a serious look on his face as he stared into Madeline’s sharp and obstinate eyes. “I just hope the woman I love can accompany me obediently for one night. We don’t have to do anything. I just want you by my side.”“Ryan, you’re still so selfish,” Madeline mocked but had already stopped resisting.After experiencing
Hearing this, Madeline found it ridiculous and was emotionally exhausted.“How many times are you going to play such tricks? Do you think you’ll be happy if you get me to reluctantly accompany you?” she asked. She had a feeling that this man seemed to be obsessed with this.Sure enough, Ryan's answer was within Madeline's expectation.He looked at her, his gaze under the moonlight very stubborn and firm.“Yes, I’ll tell myself that I’m very happy. I don’t have much time, so this will be the last dream and luxury of my life.”Judging from what Ryan said, he was insisting on being stubborn.‘So, the only way out is to play this game with him?’Madeline pondered for a moment and realized she had no other choice."Ryan, you have to keep your promise. If I win, you’ll let me go back.”“You won't.” Ryan smiled.Madeline's attitude was more confident than his when she saw that he had his card up his sleeve. “Then tell me, what kind of game is it?”“It's too late now. Let’s just go
