What?Lana was confused. As she was trying to figure out what she meant, she suddenly lost the freedom to breathe.???Madeline had lifted her right hand all of a sudden and grabbed Lana tightly on the neck.Lana did not expect Madeline to do this at all.She used all of her might to fight back, but Madeline was too strong.“Let… go! Eveline, you b*tch, let me go! Ah!”Lana threatened, but Madeline only tightened her grip and pressed Lana onto the wall as she struggled.Her soulful and crimson eyes were filled with malice. There was a storm brewing behind them.When she recalled Eloise and Sean’s deaths, she tightened her grip even more.Madeline did not say anything, only watching as Lana’s face became redder and redder until she could not breathe. She started to look like she was in pain.On the other hand, Madeline’s eyes became wetter and redder.‘Mom, Dad…’She longed for the love of a father and mother for so many years.That was a home that she finally regained aft
She had not expected that to happen. She did not think that Madeline would do something like that, and it completely shocked her.After a while, Madeline pushed the man away when she was feeling less emotional. There was disdain in her eyes as she said, “Don’t touch me again.”Jeremy’s heart was in excruciating pain. When he was faced with emptiness, he felt as if his heart was cracked open.“Linnie.”“I’ll give you five minutes. I’ll come to pick Lily and Jack up in five minutes.”Madeline turned around to leave after she said that. At this moment, the two kids poked their heads out from the room. Jackson asked worriedly, “Mommy, Daddy, are you fighting?”Jeremy smiled warmly at him and grabbed Madeline’s shoulder. “Of course not. Mommy and Daddy will never fight. Stop thinking nonsense.”Madeline looked at Jeremy in repulsion. However, in order to stop her son who was too emotionally mature from worrying, she smiled. “There’s so much red there, Handsome Mister,” Lillian poin
Madeline was so calm when she said that, but her words felt like heavy icebergs on Jeremy’s heart.He looked at Madeline’s back and followed her to the door while enduring the pain.He saw Ryan opening the door for Madeline. Then, she smiled and got in before leaving with Ryan.Under the night sky, Jeremy’s gaze was as cold as ice water.‘Linnie, are we not fated to be together?‘If that’s the case, why did God let us meet again after so many years?‘Why does he let us love each other and kill each other?‘Perhaps, the last remaining thing I can do for you now is this.’He lowered his head to look at the ring on his ring finger as a layer of frost appeared beneath his eyes.…In the car.Madeline looked out of the window without saying anything.She looked at her ringless finger and touched it lightly.When the traffic light turned red, Ryan noticed that Madeline was a little down. As such, he asked softly in concern, “Did something happen, Mrs. Whitman?”“Mr. Jones, if y
“It seems like our Rye is interested in Miss Montgomery. He never took any food for that Naomi when he brought her home last time. He took food five times for Miss Montgomery just now!”“Miss Montgomery is spectacular, but she’s married and has three children.”“Yeah, I think Rye should keep his distance with Miss Montgomery in case someone starts spreading rumors about them again.”Mrs. Jones nodded in agreement. Then, she sent a message to Ryan to inform him.When Ryan saw his mother’s message, he knew that his parents meant well, but he also knew that Madeline was in the process of divorcing Jeremy.Madeline could not tell an outsider why she wanted to divorce Jeremy.She could only swallow the helplessness and grievance herself.…Jeremy sat there silently and watched as time passed. It was almost ten and Madeline was still not home.He was not familiar with Ryan and only got some information about him not long ago. He was an excellent young painter and had been studying o
He called out to her reluctantly and held her tight in his arms.Madeline did not push him away. Her tears were like pearls on a broken string as they fell freely.Her love and longing for him were as much as she hated him and how badly she did not want to see him right now.However, she could not stop herself.“I’m in so much pain. Jeremy, do you understand how much pain I’m in? Why did you hurt my parents and our children?“I only wanted to love you the moment I met you, but why do you have to make me stop loving you and make me despise you instead? Why?“I could accept that you had forgotten me and I could accept that you were cold to me... I could even accept you staying with Lana day and night, but how do you expect me to accept the fact that you killed my parents? How? How should I face that? Tell me!”Madeline was having an emotional breakdown. She was in excruciating pain as she was faced with this man who she wanted to love but could not.Jeremy sobbed as his eyes turn
She could not put a finger on what exactly was wrong, but he seemed like he was in pain. He kept asking himself the same question while pacing back and forth. Even his sharp and wise eyes had turned murky.After a while, he picked up the divorce papers on the floor and tore them into pieces in front of Madeline.“Linnie, I don’t want to divorce you. You’ll be my wife forever.“I won’t disturb you and Pudding anymore. I’ll go out and keep watch for you outside.”“...”Madeline sat on the bed dumbfoundedly. She looked at Jeremy’s back and could not register what was going on.After she came back to her senses and cleared her head, she felt heartache spreading all over her body.She did not know if Jeremy would keep watch at the door the entire night, but she did hear some noises at the door.Jeremy was pacing back and forth in front of the door as he clenched and unclenched his hand repeatedly.He wanted to smoke again.I was as if he could only relieve his frustration by smoki
She spotted the man on a corner seat. His fair and clean-looking hands were holding a steaming coffee mug gracefully.She looked up at the man’s face, but under the dim lighting, his face was concealed by the darkness.Lana was unconvinced. She sneaked up to the second floor so that she could find a good position to take a closer look at the man’s face. However, when she was about to look up, she heard her phone ringing.The man was drinking his coffee when he suddenly froze. Then, he glared at Yorick coldly.Yorick went downstairs and spotted Lana who was trying to go upstairs.“Why are you here?” Yorick asked, trying to pull Lana downstairs while she was trying to go up.Lana struggled in dissatisfaction. “It’s him, right? Who is he? How dare he order you around?”“It’s best you don’t speak before you think,” Yorick warned.“Hmph.” Lana scoffed cockily. “Yorick, what’s wrong? You’re the leader of the Stygian Johnsons and you’re taking orders from another person? I have to see
“Lana!” Yorick was infuriated. “You’ll get on the flight back to F Country the first thing tomorrow morning! You’re not allowed to come back to Glendale ever again!”Lana gritted her teeth and kicked the coffee table away before running out of the door.After Lana left, Fabian walked mischievously next to Yorick and asked, “Hey, is that true? There’s seriously a man like that who has the power to make the leader of the Stygian Johnson Gang bend and scrape to curry favor?”Yorick looked at the innocent Fabian with a grim look on his face.“Fab, you should go back to F Country with your sister.”“No, I still have something to do here.” Fabian rejected. Then, he asked, “Why don’t you tell me who that man is? Do I know him?”“It’s best if you don’t know about this,” Yorick said profoundly. Then, he finally noticed Fabian’s brown hair. “You’ve changed your image quite a lot recently. Are you dating someone?”“Dating?” Fabian scoffed. “No way. No girl in this world is worthy of me.” H
