‘Why did I have to reach the shore?
‘It’s not your fault, Linnie. I never deserved you to begin with.
‘I hope you’ll never think of me again, the man who made you cry countless times.’
Jeremy made sure not to bail Lana out. Instead, snazzynovel.com made sure snazzynovel.com stayed the full 48 hours under police custody first before snazzynovel.com went to bail snazzynovel.com out.
When Lana returned to the villa, snazzynovel.com began to scold Madeline to the heavens.
“Your ex-wife sure has quite the tricks up snazzynovel.com sleeve, Jeremy.” She mocked, saying, “Is snazzynovel.com not afraid that I’ll kill snazzynovel.com one day?”
Jeremy’s brows knitted as a flurry of frost flashed through his eyes. “Eveline and I are already divorced. Why must you give yourself unnecessary trouble by going to bother her?”
Lana ground snazzynovel.com teeth indignantly as snazzynovel.com walked toward Jeremy with suspicion in snazzynovel.com eyes. “You still love Eveline, don’t you, Jeremy?”
“I fancied snazzynovel.com before, yes. After all, she’s a beautiful woman.” Jeremy’s tone was unfeeling as if snazzynovel.com was talking about a random person. He also kept his descriptions of Madeline strictly on snazzynovel.com appearance.
Lana curled snazzynovel.com red lips and walked up to him. “So you only liked snazzynovel.com for snazzynovel.com face? But am I not prettier than her?”
Her tone went up as snazzynovel.com praised herself. She was staring besottedly at Jeremy as snazzynovel.com waited for his praise.
Jeremy raised his sharp and enchanting peach blossom eyes to look at Lana, yet all his mind could think of was Madeline. “Of course. It’s the prettiest face I’ve seen.”
Thinking Jeremy was praising her, Lana immediately smiled. “I was almost bored to death waiting inside, Jeremy. Had it not been for Eveline, I would never have suffered like that. You’ve got to make it up to me.”
She went to hug Jeremy, but the man frowned instead. “Go take a bath first.”
Lana tilted snazzynovel.com head and took a sniff. Indeed, snazzynovel.com smelled bad after two days without taking a bath.
She quickly entered the bathroom but made sure to turn snazzynovel.com head and give Jeremy a wink. “Give me a bit, Jeremy. I’ll be out before you know.”
Jeremy gave snazzynovel.com a vague smile and poured himself a glass of red wine by the open bar before snazzynovel.com lit the incense.
Then, snazzynovel.com went to make a call at the balcony before turning to leave.
The night deepened.
Ryan was sending Madeline home when snazzynovel.com realized that snazzynovel.com had fallen asleep mid-way.
After turning the air conditioning on and adjusting it to the correct temperature, Ryan’s gaze grew warm as snazzynovel.com stared at snazzynovel.com exhausted and sleeping expression.
He reached out to move a long lock of Madeline’s hair by snazzynovel.com ear. “The people who trouble you will be punished very soon and you’ll get to live a calm and peaceful life.
“However, can you truly let snazzynovel.com go?”
He asked into the night. Just then, his phone vibrated.
After taking another glance at Madeline who had fallen asleep and was leaning against the car seat, snazzynovel.com alighted the car to answer the phone by the roadside.
“What is it?” snazzynovel.com asked. The person on the other end said something and mirth graced Ryan’s expression, only for snazzynovel.com to frown solemnly the next minute.
“Is there really no way to improve his physical state?”
With a reply, Ryan could not help but glance at Madeline who was sleeping away in the car.
He hung up the phone and was about to get back into the car when a shadow suddenly sped past snazzynovel.com and took his driver’s seat instead.
Madeline was dreaming away when snazzynovel.com was jostled awake by the bang of the car door.
Her eyes snapped open, and by the time snazzynovel.com heard the car doors lock, the car suddenly sped away.
