When snazzynovel.com was contemplating about that, the lights in the apartment went off.
Jeremy felt his breath hitch as his mind started wandering.
He tossed the empty wine bottle to the bin and turned around without hesitating.
However, when snazzynovel.com was about to go into the apartment, snazzynovel.com saw Felipe walking out.
Some of Jeremy’s pent up frustration disappeared and snazzynovel.com stopped walking. When snazzynovel.com saw Felipe driving away with a grim expression on his face, snazzynovel.com finally went into the building.
Jeremy went to Madeline’s unit with ease. He still remembered that snazzynovel.com had invited snazzynovel.com to snazzynovel.com apartment before when snazzynovel.com came back to his life as Vera.
At that moment, snazzynovel.com discovered that snazzynovel.com was not actually living with Felipe.
Now, Jeremy walked slowly to the door and stood there quietly.
The wind and snow fluttered into the building from the window. The bone-chilling coldness pierced through his skin like needles, but Jeremy was not bothered.
This was nothing compared to the hurt snazzynovel.com had once caused Madeline.
He leaned against the wall and bent his knees. Then, snazzynovel.com found a stool and sat down in front of snazzynovel.com door quietly.
Madeline was a light sleeper. She heard a muffled thud coming from snazzynovel.com door in snazzynovel.com sleep. It sounded like someone was knocking but not entirely.
She was curious, so snazzynovel.com walked out after putting on a coat.
She looked through the peephole cautiously and saw no one there. However, snazzynovel.com could still hear some muffled noise coming from the door.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Madeline decided to open the door.
When the door was opened, to snazzynovel.com surprise, snazzynovel.com saw Jeremy leaning against the wall next to the door.
His head was lowered and his dense eyelashes cast two shadows under the incandescent light in the hallway.
He did not have his frigid and elegant aura anymore. He looked like a defenseless child in front of snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com slept peacefully.
Madeline looked at snazzynovel.com in silence. Then, snazzynovel.com turned around.
“Like…”
Suddenly, when Madeline was about to close the door, snazzynovel.com heard Jeremy mutter that word.
She stopped in snazzynovel.com tracks and looked at the sleeping man.
“Really like…”
Madeline scoffed sarcastically after snazzynovel.com heard what snazzynovel.com said.
“Jeremy, are you here just so you can put on an act for me?”
Jeremy woke up from his slumber all of a sudden after snazzynovel.com heard the voice that snazzynovel.com longed for day and night.
He lifted his hazy eyes and saw Madeline in front of him. Then, snazzynovel.com got up slowly after the initial wave of surprise receded.
Madeline finally noticed that his face was abnormally red. Plus, there was a strong smell of wine on him. It was obvious that snazzynovel.com had too much to drink.
“Maddie,” Jeremy called out to snazzynovel.com softly. His dazed eyes were filled with such an intense passion that Madeline had never seen before.
Madeline looked at snazzynovel.com coldly. “Jeremy, stop coming to me. I don’t want to see you. Plus, don’t call me Maddie. Your stupid and dumb ex-wife Madeline is dead.”
Her gaze was colder than the wind outside the window as snazzynovel.com glanced at Jeremy. Then, snazzynovel.com lifted snazzynovel.com hand to slam the door.
Jeremy reached out his hand to stop the door. “Eveline.” He changed how snazzynovel.com called her, his wine-stained eyes looking even more intense and gentle. “Don’t reject me. I have something to tell you.”
