‘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, snazzynovel.com ran over and grabbed snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com too. So please, stop harassing me!”
Madeline finished saying that in an icy tone. Then, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com a one-word reply emotionlessly. He was not bothered by Madeline’s hand on his arm.
Before snazzynovel.com turned around, snazzynovel.com glared at Ava solemnly, snazzynovel.com words still lingering in his ears.
Hiss.
It was a pain that felt like a million ants gnawing at his heart. It even drowned his breathing.
Ava had declared how cold-blooded and cruel snazzynovel.com was to Madeline as snazzynovel.com recounted all of the horrible things snazzynovel.com did to snazzynovel.com back then.
Madeline sat in the passenger seat, and from the corner of snazzynovel.com eyes, snazzynovel.com could see that Jeremy had a weird expression on his face.
She figured that snazzynovel.com was affected by what Ava had said just now.
She smirked in secret. ‘How’s that, Jeremy? Are you feeling remorseful? Or have you finally found your conscience?
‘However, when were you ever conscientious when you were with me?
‘If you had even an ounce of pity for me back then, I wouldn’t have died such a horrible death!’
The evening mist hung lowly at dusk during fall.
Madeline stepped on the slabs and slowly made snazzynovel.com way to the tombstone.
She had a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in snazzynovel.com hand and placed it in front of the tombstone. Then, snazzynovel.com bowed.
“Grandpa,” snazzynovel.com called out softly as snazzynovel.com looked at the name on the tombstone.
“Eveline is here to see you.”
She smiled, but snazzynovel.com eyes were already filled with tears.
“I know you won’t agree with what I’m doing right now, but I can’t endure what snazzynovel.com did to me and the child back then.
“He’s biting the bait now. I’ll make snazzynovel.com fall in love with me, and then I’ll let snazzynovel.com have a taste of what it feels like to be fooled and humiliated by the person snazzynovel.com loves.
“I’ll also make the person who harmed you back then pay a horrible price.”
Madeline narrowed snazzynovel.com eyes and there was a piercing glint in them.
She lit up some candles and sat down in the empty cemetery.
The sky in fall was slowly turning dark. However, at this moment, snazzynovel.com only wanted to stay with snazzynovel.com grandfather who used to love snazzynovel.com so much.
Jeremy had not planned on coming to the cemetery today, but Ava’s words lingered in his head for a very long time.
He knew remorse and apologies would not be enough, so snazzynovel.com decided to come here to seek some form of comfort.
He was still holding the meaningful bouquet with 88 roses. After snazzynovel.com placed it down, snazzynovel.com caressed the name on the tombstone out of habit. He imagined that snazzynovel.com could be closer to snazzynovel.com like this.
However, it was just coldness under his fingertips. He was touching an icy tombstone and not a body of flesh.
Jeremy turned around and wanted to find a place to sit down so snazzynovel.com could accompany the person who was sleeping here. However, when snazzynovel.com lifted his head, snazzynovel.com saw a white figure walking past one of the plots. That figure was petite and lithe, looking just like her.
There was a thin layer of mist during dusk, so Jeremy could not see the woman’s face. However, his heart started accelerating.
“Maddie…”
He blurted out snazzynovel.com name and turned around quickly. Then, snazzynovel.com ran in the direction of Len’s grave.
