He could not tell how much she was worrying about him.Jeremy curled his lips into a sly smile. “Are you here just to see me?”Meredith replied, “I wanted to come here two days ago but I didn’t have the time. I’m here to see you today. Plus, I want to tell you that tonight is the best time for psychological intervention.”Meredith added when she saw Jeremy not saying anything. “Jeremy, your retinas are not damaged, which means that your mind is the reason why you can’t see yet. As long as you can get over the obstacle in your heart, you’ll regain your vision again. Trust me.”Jeremy nodded as a rare smile appeared on his face. “You’re so considerate of me, so why should I reject you?”When Meredith saw that Jeremy was smiling at her, the lingering emotions in her heart started becoming even more restless.She had been waiting for the day when everything was ready!She could finally get close to this man! She could finally sleep with him!...Madeline came to the address that F
She thought Jeremy would go along with Felicity’s acts, but he lifted the wine glass in his hand and poured the contents in the glass on her face.Meredith screamed, having not ever expected Jeremy to do that.She was dumbfounded as her face was covered with red liquid. Then, she looked in utter horror as the man in front of her stood up slowly. “Jeremy, w-why did you splash me with the wine?”Jeremy did not even want to look at her. He turned his face away in disgust. “Not only can red wine help one relax, but it can also wake someone up.”His voice was alluring, but it sounded icy. “Are you awake now?”“...” Meredith was confused. Her face was filled with rage, but she asked innocently, “Jeremy, what’s wrong? I’m doing this to help you regain your vision quicker. This is one way of psychological treatment.”“What a unique way,” Madeline walked over as she said slowly.Meredith wanted to flatter Jeremy some more when she heard Madeline’s voice. She turned around and saw Madelin
“Madeline, you insufferable b*tch!” Meredith clenched her fists and tried to suppress the rage inside her that was threatening to burn everything in her way. The flames in her eyes were burning brighter and brighter. She wanted so badly to burn Madeline into ashes.Jeremy pulled Madeline into the elevator. Now, there were only the two of them in the enclosed space.“Linnie, I knew you’d come.” It was as if Jeremy knew what was going to happen and was not surprised about Madeline’s appearance.Madeline could already figure things out after listening to him. “You knew I was following behind you, so you also intentionally left the door open for me, right?”Jeremy nodded. “I just wanted to see what Felicity was trying to do.”“So have you seen it now? She likes you and is even presenting herself to you.”Jeremy smiled and looked at Madeline after he heard that. He could sense a hint of jealousy in that sentence.He took one step closer to her. “Linnie, you’re concerned about me.”M
Before Madeline could say the last syllable, Jeremy leaned down and captured Madeline’s lips in his.The narrow interior of the car was dimly lit.Madeline widened her eyes and looked shockingly at the man who was suddenly kissing her. His eyes were closed and he looked focused. However, it looked as if he was enjoying kissing her even more.She could feel Jeremy’s breath on her face, and his scent was making her face heat up.Madeline jerked back to reality quickly and pushed Jeremy away, only for the man to pull her even closer to him. Her resistance only made him want to dominate her even more.Madeline’s fingers gripped Jeremy’s sleeves tightly in an attempt to push him away.When she saw Jeremy having no intention to let her go, she decided to bite down on him.The sharp pain caused Jeremy to stop what he was doing as the metallic taste of blood started spreading across his lips immediately.He then reluctantly let go of Madeline. When he saw the blood on her lips, he le
‘Felipe has a sister?’Madeline was surprised when she heard the girl explaining. “I’m not Felipe’s biological sister. My parents died when I was 15. During the lowest and most helpless point of my life, Felipe appeared and financially supported me. That’s how I managed to graduate from university this year. It’s all thanks to Felipe.”Madeline understood. At the same time, she also vaguely understood why Felipe would support her financially from her words.It was because both of them had also lost their parents.Perhaps Felipe felt sorry for this girl because of their shared experience.Madeline then drove Felipe and Cathy back to the house in the suburbs.The maid had already prepared Cathy’s room for her.Madeline was about to go back as it was getting late, but Felipe stopped her.He held her gently and caressed her long hair with his fingers. “Eveline, I missed you so much after I left.”He told her how he missed her and how his longing for her came from his heart.Madel
Meredith lifted her head in confusion. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes. “Isn’t she just a perfumer?”“Hmph.” Felipe looked at Meredith in disgust. “Eveline is Nell.”“W-What?” Meredith’s eyes widened as she could not believe it. “M-Madeline is that perfumer? How is that possible? How is it possible that she even knows how to blend fragrances…”Felipe looked at her from the corner of his eyes. “You’ve overestimated your capabilities.”“...”Meredith stared blankly ahead as she was completely dumbfounded.She thought she had designed the perfect trap. However, in the end, she was the person who fell into the trap first.Madeline was Nell the perfumer, which meant that in those three years of Jeremy suffering from insomnia, he was depending on Madeline’s aromatherapy kit to sleep.She did not expect Jeremy and Madeline to have this kind of connection that was so mysterious and inexorable.Meredith bit her lip unhappily. Then, she heard Felipe’s warning coming from the top
“Grandpa is fine. I checked on him just now,” Felipe said, lifting his hand to grab Madeline’s shoulder. “Eveline, I have something to tell you. Let’s go.”Madeline looked at Jeremy who had been looking at her the entire time. Then, she nodded. “Okay.”Jeremy stopped Madeline as he watched her walking away with Felipe. “Linnie.”Madeline stopped in her tracks, but she did not turn around.“Linnie, I won’t do anything that’ll upset you anymore. I’m sorry about what happened in the car yesterday.”Even though Jeremy did not go into details, Felipe knew clearly what he was apologizing for.Madeline did not answer him. On the contrary, she walked away with Felipe.Jeremy was starting to feel restless. ‘Did Linnie hear what Felipe said just now? Will she be mad at what I did back then?’In the car.The air was abnormally quiet.Felipe stopped the car at the side of the road before saying, “Eveline, you heard everything just now, right?” he asked frankly. Madeline did not beat ar
Madeline had never seen Felipe like this before. She figured it might be because of what happened in the morning.She could see an intense possessiveness in his red eyes.It made her extremely uncomfortable that he was holding her close to him.“Felipe, don’t drink so much. Let’s talk,” she said as she tried to get away from his embrace. However, when this thought emerged in her head, Felipe saw through her and placed his hand on the back of her head.He leaned forward, his face looking intoxicated under the dim light of the chandelier. Plus, his narrow eyes were dazed as if he was in a trance as he slowly got closer to Madeline.Madeline turned her face away when she sensed that Felipe was about to kiss her.Felipe frowned when he was greeted with nothing and grabbed Madeline’s face to force her to look at him.“Felipe, you’re drunk…”“Eveline, do you know how much I liked you the moment I laid eyes on you?”Madeline was slightly stunned when she heard Felipe’s confession.F
