Madeline was not prepared at all, and snazzynovel.com nose touched the man’s sturdy chest.
She widened snazzynovel.com eyes and looked at the handsome man showering in front of snazzynovel.com in dumbfoundedness. At that moment, snazzynovel.com felt the heat rising at the tip of snazzynovel.com nose.
Water drops were falling from snazzynovel.com head, blurring snazzynovel.com vision. She wanted to lift snazzynovel.com hand to wipe away the droplets on snazzynovel.com eyelashes. However, Jeremy grabbed snazzynovel.com wrist all of a sudden. Then, snazzynovel.com used his right hand that was attached to the rope to hold snazzynovel.com head. In an instant, snazzynovel.com planted a kiss on snazzynovel.com lips domineeringly.
Madeline was shocked. She only remembered to push snazzynovel.com away when snazzynovel.com entire body was soaked. However, when snazzynovel.com touched his naked flesh, snazzynovel.com could feel snazzynovel.com fingertips burning.
She was worried that the man would lose his reason, so snazzynovel.com tried to pull his wrist away forcefully. However, snazzynovel.com resistance only elicited his lust for dominance.
Madeline had no choice but to bite him.
Jeremy frowned and stopped what snazzynovel.com was doing.
He opened his eyes that were reddened by the water. When snazzynovel.com saw Madeline looking at snazzynovel.com angrily, snazzynovel.com scoffed. “You weren’t like this before. Back then, you only had me in your heart.
“Eveline, I’ve lived in your heart for so many years. Are you going to evict me just like this?”
His cheeky and deep voice glided into snazzynovel.com ears while his wet hands lifted snazzynovel.com face that was covered with water droplets. Then, snazzynovel.com forced snazzynovel.com to look into his eyes.
“Eveline, tell me you still love me and tell me you still have me in your heart.”
His red eyes were shining with strong anticipation.
Madeline clenched snazzynovel.com fists, snazzynovel.com tone sounding calm.
“Jeremy, let me go. You should go back to Glendale.”
This was not the answer the man was looking for. His eyes went cold as snazzynovel.com pressed Madeline against the wall to kiss snazzynovel.com again.
Madeline grabbed the man’s arm when snazzynovel.com felt the man getting more and more possessive. “Jeremy, no. You can’t—”
“Why not? Hmm? You’ve never rejected me before and even if you didn’t want to, you’d still obey me. Is it because you’re in love with Felipe, the man who saved your life, that you hate me so much now?”
He sounded jealous. Then, snazzynovel.com placed his handsome face next to hers. There was a look of endless passion and remorse in his eyes.
“Eveline, do you know how hurt I was when you were gasping for your last breath in my arms back then? I felt as if all light had gone out from my world and everything in front of me was black. I wanted so badly to exchange my life for yours.
“However, I didn’t know magic, so I could only watch as you lay on the operating table with your eyes closed forever.
“In those three years of your passing, I couldn’t sleep a wink. I missed you so much that it took over my life. Whenever I thought about what I had done to you, I felt such debilitating pain.
“When you came back to my world as Vera Quinn, I was hoping that it was you. I’d endure all the hatred and revenge you have for me as long as you were still alive.”
He looked at snazzynovel.com with pain in his eyes. His Adam’s apple also bobbed lightly as snazzynovel.com sobbed. Then, tears started to well in his eyes.
“Linnie, you can hit me, yell at me, and resent me, but please don’t stop loving me, okay?”
Madeline was wearing an icy mask this entire time. When snazzynovel.com heard snazzynovel.com telling snazzynovel.com how snazzynovel.com truly felt while looking into his tearful eyes, snazzynovel.com felt snazzynovel.com heart aching. Gradually, the coldness in snazzynovel.com eyes started to go away.
However, when snazzynovel.com was about to say something, snazzynovel.com saw red from the corner of snazzynovel.com eyes.
Madeline finally realized that Jeremy’s arm was wrapped in a bandage and snazzynovel.com had just pulled on it forcefully. Now, the gauze was soaked and blood had also started to seep out.
He was indeed injured.
“Jeremy, your arm—”
“I don’t care about this kind of flesh wound. Linnie, the place that’s hurting right now is here.”
He held Madeline’s hand and placed it where his heart was.
Madeline’s fingers trembled as snazzynovel.com felt his strong heartbeat. Then, snazzynovel.com face started to heat up from the steam of the water.
Jeremy saw the changes in Madeline’s expression. Then, snazzynovel.com leaned down and pecked snazzynovel.com on the corner of snazzynovel.com lips.
