Madeline did not understand but quickly found the news about Jeremy entering a hotel with a short-haired woman in the middle of the night before leaving separately.
It had been a month since Madeline received any news of Jeremy. She never expected to receive it in such a way.
Others may not recognize her, but Madeline knew that it was Lana with just one look.
Madeline felt snazzynovel.com vision darken for a while, but snazzynovel.com was soon pulled back to reality when Ava called snazzynovel.com name through the phone.
“Is Jeremy crazy, Maddie? Why would snazzynovel.com get together with Lana?” Ava pitied Madeline.
Madeline gripped snazzynovel.com phone and forced herself to calm down. “We’ve already gotten a divorce, Ava. Who snazzynovel.com decides to spend his time with has nothing to do with me.”
Madeline hung up nonchalantly despite the shaking in snazzynovel.com heart.
‘Why, Jeremy? Have you truly gone mad?’
Dazed for the entire morning, Madeline only came back to reality when Ryan came to bring snazzynovel.com out for lunch.
They arrived at that restaurant.
Madeline’s gaze instinctively fell on the seat snazzynovel.com once sat with Jeremy, only to find it occupied by another woman.
Madeline turned to sit but was knocked into by someone from behind.
“Sorry.” She quickly apologized but was hit with the cooling scent that tugged at snazzynovel.com heartstrings.
She looked up in disbelief, snazzynovel.com eyes reflecting the man’s attractive features.
‘Jeremy?’
Madeline exclaimed internally in shock.
Jeremy quickly let go of his grip on Madeline now that snazzynovel.com was back on snazzynovel.com feet. His gaze was indifferent. “Are you alright, Miss Montgomery?”
Miss Montgomery.
What a familiar yet distanced title.
Madeline stepped out of his arms coldly without replying to him.
Jeremy did not comment on it, opting to turn to Ryan with a smile instead. “My ex-wife is a rare and great woman, Mr. Jones. If you truly like her, don’t let go.”
Jeremy’s words made Madeline feel uncomfortable.
She was about to speak when snazzynovel.com heard Ryan reply gently, “Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Whitman. I won’t.”
Satisfied with the reply, snazzynovel.com turned to look at Madeline who was glaring coldly at snazzynovel.com before leaving.
Madeline then realized that the woman sitting with snazzynovel.com back against snazzynovel.com was Lana.
He was eating with Lana at the table they once sat at.
Ha.
Madeline had no idea what Jeremy was thinking at all.
She sat down despite the fact that snazzynovel.com appetite had completely vanished. “In regards to what snazzynovel.com said, Ryan, you can ignore it.”
Rya understood, but his gaze was sincere. “I’ve developed feelings for you after having spent time with you over the past month.”
Ryan’s reply took Madeline by surprise, but snazzynovel.com continued to explain, “Naomi and I got engaged because it was my parents’ wish. There wasn’t anyone I had feelings for at the time, so I decided to accept it when my parents introduced me to a girl of similar status to tie a union.”
It turned out that this was the reason behind Ryan and Naomi’s relationship.
It explained why Ryan did not seem to show any form of sadness at all when snazzynovel.com broke it off with Naomi. There were no feelings involved at all.
However, in the face of Ryan’s sudden confession and Jeremy’s ‘matchmaking’, Madeline felt uneasy and made an excuse to use the bathroom. She wanted some peace and quiet, only to have Lana’s proud smile appear in the mirror.
“You must be surprised, Eveline Montgomery. Since last night, Jeremy has become mine for real.”
