He asked, feeling a debilitating pain in his heart.When he recalled Madeline’s helpless expression when she was explaining herself with tears streaming down her face, he felt like such an irredeemable sinner.How could he be so cruel to hurt a woman who loved him so much?How could he only realize that he had fallen for her when it was already too late?Now, he finally understood why Old Master Whitman asked her that question when she said she wanted to divorce him.The old master had asked her whether they slept together after marriage.Of course, he did. Multiple times.He said he was disgusted by her, but he still could not stop himself from touching her.It turned out that he was just unable to restrain his emotions, but when he found out about it, it was too late.Jeremy gathered his thoughts and looked at the tombstone. “She looks just like you, so I keep having misconceptions. I hugged her last night, but I was really hoping she’s you.”His tone was filled with so muc
Madeline looked at the man who had emerged from the crowd and she could feel her spirit leaving her body.She had not seen him for three years, but the person in front of her was still bright-eyed and handsome. There was an added sense of maturity that was not there before on his sharp features.He walked toward her, her face reflecting in his onyx-like eyes. There was an unspeakable joy and surprise in them.“Maddie, it is you…” Daniel looked at her intensely, his voice still as gentle and warm as the spring breeze.“I’m sorry. I’m not Madeline Crawford.” Madeline lifted her eyebrow in annoyance. “If you guys are just here to see if I look like Madeline Crawford, then please leave. I have a business to run,” she said coldly before turning around. When her face was out of Daniel and Ava’s sight, she lowered her gaze.‘Ava, Dan, I’m sorry. Please forgive me for my cruelness.’“Maddie!” Ava did not give up and grabbed Madeline’s hand. “Maddie, why have you become like this? You’re
Ava was unconvinced. She wanted to argue further, but after she heard what Jeremy said, the expectations in her heart went out immediately.She looked at Madeline and became dispirited after seeing her charming face.‘Is this really not Maddie?‘No, that’s impossible.’Ava glared at Jeremy angrily before gritting her teeth. “Jeremy, this must be a trap. She’s definitely Maddie! You’re the one who—”“Enough.” Madeline interrupted her with a cold voice. “I don’t care what happened between you and Madeline, but it has nothing to do with me. Listen closely, I’m not Madeline Crawford.”After she said that, she lifted her beautiful eyes and looked at Jeremy. “I’m going to give myself a break today. I wonder if you have time to accompany me, Mr. Whitman?”Jeremy looked into her mesmerizing eyes and smiled. “It would be my honor.”After he said that, he grabbed Madeline’s hand.Everyone around them made way for them conscientiously. Then, they watched as Jermey left while holding Made
His deep and seductive voice slid into her ear before landing on her heart.Madeline did not expect Jeremy to ask such a question.There was visible shock on her face. Despite feeling taken aback, she was still calm. “Jeremy, do you know what you’re talking about?”“Of course, I know what I’m talking about.” He lowered his voice to make it sound even more alluring.“I’ll be marrying Felipe soon, so why would I like you?” Madeline said coldly, pushing him away.However, Jeremy merely grabbed the hand that landed on his shoulder.“Do you really not like me? Then why did you come looking for me in the hospital last night and tell me that you’re worried about me?” he asked, “You were concerned about me. Plus, I don’t think you like my uncle all that much,” he said as his dark eyes lingered on Madeline’s face. He could feel his heart skipping a beat.Despite knowing that they were two different people, he still could not ignore this face of hers that looked exactly the same as Madeli
‘Ava, I didn’t forget.‘That’s why I’m back for revenge. This is for me, but also mostly for the child.’When Ava noticed how Madeline had not spoken a word even after a long time, she ran over and grabbed her hand emotionally. “Maddie, please, come with us. Dan is the person who truly loves and cares about you. Stop getting fooled by that piece of trash!”“Stop talking.” Madeline interrupted her suddenly. “I’ve told you many times that I’m not Madeline Crawford. Plus, why can’t I stay with Mr. Whitman? What do his past actions have to do with me? I just know that I’m happy being with him. I enjoy being with him too. So please, stop harassing me!”Madeline finished saying that in an icy tone. Then, she pushed Ava’s hand away from her.She turned around and grabbed Jeremy’s arm, pretending to look intimate with him. “Jeremy, let’s talk somewhere else. These people are so annoying.”“Alright.” Jeremy gave her a one-word reply emotionlessly. He was not bothered by Madeline’s hand on
Jeremy sped to the place where he just saw the white figure. His heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.‘Maddie!‘Is that you, Maddie?’He screamed Madeline’s name in his heart over and over again as he was sure that he was not hallucinating.However, when he got to the grave, there was no one there.What he saw moments ago was perhaps just a dream.His heart went cold.Was he having hallucinations from missing her too much?Jeremy thought of that while feeling dispirited. When he was about to leave, he saw a trail of smoke coming from a grave nearby.He narrowed his eyes and strode over.He walked in front of Len’s grave. Len was Madeline’s grandfather. He could see the bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone and a candle that was still burning.Indeed, he had not been hallucinating earlier. Someone had been here to pay their respects to Len!Who else would come to pay respects to Len aside from Madeline?Jerem
Madeline lifted her head and her eyes met Felipe’s narrow eyes. His eyes looked kind, enveloping her tightly into an air of warmth.“I will support you in everything you do. However, if possible, I really don’t want you to carry out your revenge this way.”Felipe reached out his hand as his fingers landed on her soft face. The coldness on his fingers made Madeline tremble.There were a lot of secrets hiding behind his bottomless eyes. It was as if one would get sucked into his eyes if they looked into his eyes and probed for more than one second.When Madeline was about to move away, Felipe walked closer to her.His handsome face was magnified in front of her, revealing a hint of overpowering dominance and possessiveness. “He’s not worthy to have you, be it now or back then.”Madeline felt her heartbeat accelerating the moment he said that.She was at a loss. When she came back to her senses, she could see Felipe’s lips slowly getting closer to hers. When she was about to dodge
They would have never expected the person who they were plotting against to appear in front of them all of a sudden. Meredith and Rose’s laughter stopped abruptly. Their equally hideous faces were filled with shock as they stared at Madeline who had just walked in.“You! Who told you to come in? How long were you standing out there? What did you hear?” Rose stood up with a woosh and pointed at Madeline as she questioned her angrily.Meredith did not say anything. She just widened her eyes and sized Madeline up.Madeline quirked her eyebrow and smiled. “Why? Did you say something you shouldn’t have and you’re scared that I’ll find out?”“...” Rose’s expression changed. She averted her gaze slightly. “You…”“If I’m not wrong, you must be Madeline’s adoptive mother. Tsk tsk, your adopted daughter has been completely tainted by you. I was wondering how a graceful and elegant woman like Mrs. Montgomery would have such a heinous and vile daughter like Meredith.”“W-What did you say?” R
