“Jeremy, don’t leave me.” Still in snazzynovel.com drunken stupor, Madeline’s eyes were half-open and full of reluctance.
Jeremy held snazzynovel.com hand. Madeline’s small pink face was reflected in his amber pupils.
He promised softly, “I’m not going to leave you.”
“You are.” Madeline’s eyes were hot. “You’ll leave me. You will…”
Jeremy was taken aback for a moment and suddenly did not know how snazzynovel.com should respond.
Yes, it was true. He was going to leave her. At most, snazzynovel.com had two years to stay with snazzynovel.com and the children.
“Linnie.” Jeremy’s heart tightened.
Madeline’s eyes turned red as snazzynovel.com suddenly wrapped snazzynovel.com arms around his neck tightly. “Don’t go. I don’t want to experience the feeling of losing you again.”
Jeremy gulped as an unignorable pain surged in his heart.
He stroked Madeline’s head to comfort her.
He then heard Madeline’s crying sobs. “During your absence for half a year, I thought you had left me forever. Every night after the kids were asleep, I’d just lay alone in bed in a daze. I didn’t know how I should live the rest of my life.
“Why did Cupid make two people who could not be together fall in love? Why…” Madeline muttered to herself as snazzynovel.com hugged snazzynovel.com in distress. Her voice was ridden with guilt. “Jeremy, don’t be angry with me. I didn’t mean to lie to you. I’m sorry…”
When Jeremy heard snazzynovel.com apology to him, snazzynovel.com felt worse.
Why did snazzynovel.com have to get angry at her?
If snazzynovel.com knew snazzynovel.com had a reason, why did snazzynovel.com have to make it hard for her?
Although Madeline was drunk and snazzynovel.com mind was all over the place, snazzynovel.com still knew very well that snazzynovel.com had made Jeremy angry.
When Madeline saw that snazzynovel.com was still not saying anything to her, snazzynovel.com felt worse. She held his cheeks and met his deep-set eyes with a sullen gaze.
When snazzynovel.com thought about Ryan’s exchange terms, snazzynovel.com recalled the terrible poison that Adam created. She thought about not being able to save the guy in front of snazzynovel.com and snazzynovel.com tears started rolling down uncontrollably.
On the outside, snazzynovel.com was strong, sharp, and never showed weakness when snazzynovel.com met with trouble. However, when snazzynovel.com was faced with the man snazzynovel.com loved, snazzynovel.com did not want to pretend to be strong anymore.
“Jeremy, I’m sorry.”
‘I shouldn’t have angered Ryan and put your health at risk.’
Madeline blamed herself. “I’m sorry. I’m so—”
Jeremy did not want to let Madeline continue apologizing, so snazzynovel.com sealed snazzynovel.com lips with his.
Time seemed to stand still in that second. Madeline blinked and gradually became sober.
Jeremy let go of snazzynovel.com lips and stroked snazzynovel.com flushed cheeks with regret. “I’m sorry, Linnie. I’m not angry with you. Even if you have to lie to me, I don’t mind.”
His low voice slipped gently into snazzynovel.com ears.
Madeline’s eyes became redder. “Are you really not angry with me?”
“Of course, I’m not angry at you.” He held snazzynovel.com hand affectionately. “Because I love you.”
When Madeline heard snazzynovel.com confessing to her, snazzynovel.com could not help but cry like a child.
Jeremy lowered his head and kissed away the teardrops on the corners of snazzynovel.com eyes. His lips finally landed on hers.
Madeline closed snazzynovel.com eyes and responded jerkily but also instinctively to his kiss.
Jeremy’s warm fingertips brushed across snazzynovel.com skin lightly, making Madeline feel as if a stream of clear spring was falling onto snazzynovel.com hot heart. The sweet and refreshing feeling gradually made snazzynovel.com relax.
The moonlight deepened outside the window and the summer evening breeze blew past the curtains by the French windows, but it did not blow away the warmth in the room.
“Jeremy…”
“Yeah?”
“I love you too.” Madeline poured snazzynovel.com heart out.
Jeremy chuckled softly and responded with two words, “I know.”
Yeah, snazzynovel.com knew.
He always knew how much snazzynovel.com loved him.
Whether it was before or in the future, snazzynovel.com knew that his name would be engraved on snazzynovel.com heart for life—even if snazzynovel.com died.
