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
Madeline removed her hand from his. “Felipe, I have to go now.”“Eveline.”“I’ll come to visit you tomorrow. Have a good night’s sleep and stop overthinking.”Madeline turned around to leave, and the moment Felipe’s hand became empty, he felt his heart becoming empty as well.After Madeline’s figure completely disappeared from his vision, Felipe sat upright as a layer of darkness covered his eyes immediately.He had pretended to be drunk and fragile just so he could get some concern and care from her. However, she just walked away without turning back.She did not have any longing for him at all.The temperature in the room was plummeting from the coldness he was emitting from his body.At this moment, he could hear footsteps from outside the door. Felipe lifted his head expectantly and saw Cathy walking over to him with a cup.“Get out.” Felipe kicked her out impatiently.However, Cathy still walked to him with a smile. “You drank a lot of alcohol. This tea will help you get
Felipe was shocked about Madeline’s sudden appearanceHowever, he was not worried at all and said to the woman who was spacing out on the bed in a deep voice, “Go into the bathroom. Don’t make any noise before I ask you to come out.”Cathy understood what Felipe meant. She nodded and went to pick up her clothes that were scattered all over the floor.“Hurry.” Felipe urged her in a cold voice.Due to her shock, the blanket she was holding fell to the floor. There was some dried blood on the bed and Felipe’s eyes darkened when he saw that.However, he retained his cool demeanor. “Pick up your clothes. Go in.”She did not dare to go against him or infuriate him.Cathy was naked as she picked up the clothes on the floor hurriedly. After that, she ran into the bathroom.Felipe spread the blanket over the bed before opening the door.The coldness of his face disappeared when he saw Madeline, and there was only a gentle grin now. “Eveline, why are you so early?”“Didn’t I tell you
There were no changes to Felipe’s expression at all.It was as if this woman was not the same person who he had slept with last night.Madeline smiled back at her. “Good morning, Cathy.” She smiled and turned to Felipe. “I promised Jack that I’ll take him to the bookstore later, so I’m going to go now.”Felipe looked at her with love in his eyes. “I’ll call you later.”“Okay.” She nodded. Before she left, she said, “Don’t drink anymore.”Felipe nodded and watched as she walked away.Cathy looked at the handsome and soft smile on Felipe’s face before lowering her head dispiritedly.She knew clearly that she should not have any feelings for Felipe. However, he was also an obsession that she could not let go of after so many years.…After Madeline went back to Montgomery Manor, she took Jackson to the bookstore.Sean and Eloise were planning to take Lillian to the playground, but when she saw Madeline taking her brother outside, she blinked her lively eyes and begged to go with
