Looking at Jeremy, snazzynovel.com really did not seem to be joking, but Madeline did not think about really having another relationship with Jeremy again. On that night spent in April Hill, snazzynovel.com had simply used his drunken state to deceive him.
She would not allow herself to be played by this cold-blooded man again.
Madeline wanted to break free, but snazzynovel.com consciousness was slowly slipping away. She even felt snazzynovel.com body gradually changing.
The drug had dampened snazzynovel.com senses, making snazzynovel.com lean unconsciously into Jeremy’s chest.
She was about to lose control of snazzynovel.com gradually slipping consciousness as snazzynovel.com took in the cold fragrance and the warm feeling of his body.
Meredith had really gone all in. She had only taken a sip and did not expect the drug to be so effective.
Sensing Jeremy carrying snazzynovel.com into the room, Madeline, with the last traces of snazzynovel.com clear-headed willpower, grabbed his collar firmly. “Jeremy, let me go…”
She had said, but snazzynovel.com found snazzynovel.com voice to have become unusually charming. She was obviously trying to reject, but the tone made it sound like an invitation instead.
Jeremy glanced at the ever more charming girl in his arms and continued to move forward.
“Quickly put me down! Jeremy, you can’t…”
Madeline was still murmuring when snazzynovel.com suddenly felt cold all over.
Jeremy had put snazzynovel.com into the bathtub. “Don’t be scared. I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do.”
His gentle voice was like a stream of refreshing spring water flowing through snazzynovel.com warm heart.
His words really surprised her.
“Hang in there. It’ll be alright.”
His comforting words sounded with unprecedented tenderness, and like a tranquilizer, Madeline’s worries were calmed.
He took off snazzynovel.com coat, and just as snazzynovel.com was about to take off snazzynovel.com dress, Madeline pinned his hand.
“I can do it myself, so get out.”
Feeling the heat coming from snazzynovel.com palm, Jeremy nodded lightly. “Call me if there’s anything. I’ll be outside.”
“Okay.” Madeline nodded strenuously and released snazzynovel.com clenched hand.
After seeing that Jeremy had turned around and closed the bathroom door, Madeline immediately turned on the cold water and drenched herself all over…
On that autumn night, a cool breeze blew. Then, it started to rain.
Jeremy stood in front of the windowsill, listening to the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom. His thoughts drifted far away.
The past was gradually flooding his heart like the dense rain outside the window.
He recalled that Madeline had once approached snazzynovel.com with evidence that could prove snazzynovel.com innocence. However, snazzynovel.com had not hesitated to destroy the evidence in order to protect Meredith.
She asked snazzynovel.com while in tears whether snazzynovel.com thought it mattered or not if snazzynovel.com was dead.
He had sneered and questioned snazzynovel.com back, “Are you dead then?”
Thinking about it now, what snazzynovel.com said at the time must have brought snazzynovel.com pain that pierced snazzynovel.com heart. At this moment, however, the pain was piercing his heart a thousand times more.
It was only after snazzynovel.com died did snazzynovel.com realize how important snazzynovel.com was to him.
‘Madeline, I regret it.
‘But you didn’t even give me a chance to regret it.
‘I’ve lost.’
He smiled bitterly while looking at the rainy night sky. His eyes heated up quietly.
Clank!
Suddenly, there was a heavy crash in the bathroom. Jeremy instantly withdrew his thoughts and rushed directly into the bathroom without thinking.
As soon as snazzynovel.com entered, snazzynovel.com saw Madeline sitting drenched in the bathtub with snazzynovel.com expression looking lost.
His gaze changed as snazzynovel.com picked snazzynovel.com up worriedly. Her drenched dress hugged snazzynovel.com graceful figure tightly, and the instant the warmth from his palm was passed to snazzynovel.com body, Madeline could not help but shudder.
“Vera, how are you?”
He called out snazzynovel.com name, and unconsciously, there was a trace of anxiety in his voice.
Madeline shook snazzynovel.com head. “I’m alright. Let me shower for a while more. I’m much better already.”
