“Go on.”
“Fulfill your promise to me back then. Take me as your wife,” Meredith continued without hesitating.
In an instant, a deep frown was plastered across Jeremy’s face. He looked at Meredith with his eyes that were filled with emotions.
“Jeremy, you know that I love you. I’m crazily in love with you. I can’t live without you. I knew I wanted to stay with you forever after I saw you for the first time.”
Meredith looked at Jeremy sentimentally.
“Jeremy, you’re the only hope for me to continue living. If I don’t have you, I’d rather die. If you don’t want to fulfill your promise, then I’ll leave this world along with Jack. If you die, you’ll never find Madeline’s ashes.”
Looking at Meredith’s determined gaze, Jeremy chuckled lowly. “Are you threatening me?”
Meredith shook snazzynovel.com head and looked at snazzynovel.com aggrievedly. “How would I dare to threaten you? I just want to be with the man I love. So, I’m willingly turning into the kind of evil woman who would do anything to get their way in your eyes.”
After snazzynovel.com said that, Jeremy’s eyes became cold. “I’ll grant your wishes.”
Meredith widened snazzynovel.com eyes when snazzynovel.com suddenly got his answer. “Jeremy, really? Are you really agreeing to marry me?”
Jeremy flung Meredith’s hand away. “Give me back Maddie’s ashes before I change my mind.”
The delight in Meredith’s eyes was destroyed.
She scoffed and lowered snazzynovel.com empty hands.
She had been waiting for the day snazzynovel.com would finally agree to marry her, but the reason snazzynovel.com agreed was because of Madeline who had already turned into ashes.
Meredith laughed at herself. “Jeremy, even if you hate me or blame me, I won’t return Madeline’s ashes to you before we have the wedding.”
After snazzynovel.com said that, Jeremy’s icy glare pierced through her.
Meredith shook from fear. However, snazzynovel.com looked into Jeremy’s eyes with a sad look. “Jeremy, I love you, despite you already changing your mind…”
Jeremy scanned Meredith’s face with a murderous glare. Then, snazzynovel.com walked out with the door slamming shut behind him. His long and lean body walked past snazzynovel.com like a gust of wind.
In the night, snazzynovel.com slammed down on the accelerator and sped forward. He drove all the way to where Madeline used to live.
Her presence and scent were long gone in the house. However, snazzynovel.com still longingly walked over every nook and cranny in this house snazzynovel.com once lived in. Perhaps snazzynovel.com thought snazzynovel.com would be able to feel snazzynovel.com warmth once more like this.
He flipped through Madeline’s diary and was delighted at the love and determination snazzynovel.com had for snazzynovel.com shown through snazzynovel.com words. After a few seconds of joy, tears started welling up in his eyes.
He looked at the neon lights outside the bustling city and felt his heart getting colder…
Madeline stood in front of the french window at night, unable to forget the crazy thing Jeremy did in the morning.
She did not look into who the person sleeping forever in the grave was. She also did not know what Jeremy meant by those roses.
At this moment, snazzynovel.com phone rang.
She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Jeremy.
Madeline hesitated for a while before picking up. When snazzynovel.com was about to say something, snazzynovel.com heard Jeremy’s deep and drunken voice. “Maddie…”
Her eyes darkened as snazzynovel.com grip on the phone tightened as well.
“Where are you? Where did snazzynovel.com hide you…” Jeremy continued. He sounded like snazzynovel.com was drunk.
Madeline recomposed herself and said calmly, “Jeremy, are you drunk? Where are you?”
After snazzynovel.com said that, snazzynovel.com was only greeted with silence.
Madeline looked at the screen of snazzynovel.com phone in confusion. Was snazzynovel.com really drunk?
No.
Even if snazzynovel.com was drunk, it would be impossible for snazzynovel.com to call snazzynovel.com name.
She would never appear in his drunken dreams.
She hung up the phone and contacted Felipe who was not home yet to find Jeremy’s location.
After a while, snazzynovel.com received Felipe’s text.
Looking at the address on the screen, Madeline was in disbelief.
He was there!
How was it possible?
She ran out of the door and headed to the destination. Standing in front of the apartment and looking at the closed door, Madeline lifted snazzynovel.com trembling hand slowly before pushing the door open.
