They had only sat down for a while when one masked man after another came over to ask Madeline for a dance.
Despite the fantastical lights and the mask on Jeremy’s face, Madeline could easily imagine what expression the man was wearing at the moment.
After merely seeing the frost that was pouring out of the man’s icy gaze, Madeline could already guess how pissed the man was. Not even drinking something cold would quell his anger.
Now that snazzynovel.com thought about it, it was weird that no women had come to ask Jeremy for a dance despite the man’s outstanding appearance.
Madeline reached for the cold drink and was about to tease the pissed man in front of snazzynovel.com when a young woman in a witch outfit walked over to Jeremy.
The party was loud, but Madeline could easily hear the woman greeting Jeremy.
“I didn’t think I’d see you here, Jeremy. What a coincidence!”
Jeremy did not realize snazzynovel.com was there at all until snazzynovel.com heard snazzynovel.com speak.
She had a large pumpkin mask on snazzynovel.com face and Jeremy could not recognize who snazzynovel.com was.
Seeing Jeremy’s confusion, the woman took off snazzynovel.com mask coolly.
Bright lights swept past the woman’s face and Madeline was met with an ethereal appearance. The woman had flirty and energetic almond eyes.
A sour tinge of jealousy spread in Madeline’s chest at that moment.
She finally understood how Jeremy must have felt all this while. Perhaps, the jealousy snazzynovel.com was feeling at this moment was worse.
It was because snazzynovel.com did not recognize any of the men who were asking snazzynovel.com for a dance.
Yet this woman managed to recognize Jeremy despite the mask snazzynovel.com wore and called his name so intimately.
She was about to ask Jeremy who the woman was when snazzynovel.com looked up to catch a look of shock and desire to escape in Jeremy’s expression.
Madeline’s heartstrings tightened. ‘Why would Jeremy make such an expression?
‘Or did I imagine it?’
She wondered internally when snazzynovel.com heard Jeremy make a confused sound. “What a coincidence. What are you doing here?”
“I’ve been too busy with work lately, so I decided to come over and take a vacation. What about you? How are you doing lately?” the woman asked with a smile when snazzynovel.com realized Madeline sitting next to Jeremy. “This is…”
“This is my wife. I brought my wife here for a vacation,” Jeremy explained as snazzynovel.com wrapped an arm around Madeline’s shoulder affectionately.
Out of respect, Madeline smiled softly at the woman.
The woman returned snazzynovel.com smile with a polite one before snazzynovel.com gaze fell back on Jeremy. “The fact that you can bring your wife here means that you should be alright now, then. Keep it up, alright? Don’t waste all the hard work I’ve put on you over those six months.”
Those six months?
The woman’s words awoke some of Madeline’s memories.
Indeed.
How could snazzynovel.com have forgotten that the man had been refusing to tell snazzynovel.com what happened during those six months snazzynovel.com disappeared?
This woman was part of Jeremy’s disappearance, then.
Madeline’s suspicion grew and snazzynovel.com wanted to quickly understand the issue. Just then, the woman excused herself as snazzynovel.com had something to tend to.
After the woman left, Madeline gave Jeremy a deep look. “I have something to ask you. Outside.”
“…” Jeremy had a bad hunch and went after snazzynovel.com without a moment’s pause. “Linnie!”
