Madeline looked at Ryan’s hand that was outstretched toward snazzynovel.com and looked away indifferently.
She looked toward the landmark building in the direction of Glendale, missing in snazzynovel.com heart snazzynovel.com home and the people snazzynovel.com cared about the most.
Seeing that Madeline was ignoring him, Ryan stretched out his hand and grabbed snazzynovel.com wrist.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“Even if you don’t want to, you still have to do it at least once.”
“…”
Just as Madeline was about to struggle, Ryan had already forcibly pulled snazzynovel.com and moved to the other side of the island.
The night sea breeze carried with it layers upon layers of coolness while the waves crashing against the coast sounded.
“Ryan, let me go,” Madeline ordered firmly.
Ryan pretended not to have heard her. He pulled Madeline as snazzynovel.com walked straight forward and only after a while did snazzynovel.com stop.
Madeline took the opportunity to break free from his hand. Just as snazzynovel.com was about to turn around and walk away, snazzynovel.com heard Ryan open his mouth to say, “The dream that wasn’t realized that day can finally be realized now.”
Ryan said as snazzynovel.com looked back at Madeline. His features looked gentle under the moonlight while that smile of his looked pure.
Madeline did not understand the meaning behind Ryan’s words. She looked at snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com walked forward alone before crouching down.
Not a few seconds later, Madeline heard the sound of something being ignited.
After a few seconds, Ryan got up and returned to snazzynovel.com side. It was at that moment Madeline heard the sound of fireworks going off. Above snazzynovel.com head, multiple colorful and dazzling flowers bloomed in the dark blue night sky.
Madeline then understood what Ryan meant earlier. It turned out that snazzynovel.com was brooding over the unreleased fireworks from the trip the other day.
“So this is what it feels like to watch fireworks with someone you like,” Ryan thought aloud with a sigh.
“Did you even consider the emotions of the person whom you’re forcing to watch the fireworks with you?” Madeline asked sarcastically before turning around and leaving.
Fireworks were still blooming in the night sky and the brilliant colors illuminated nearly the entire island.
Seeing Madeline having turned around and left, the smile on Ryan’s face gradually disappeared. Even so, snazzynovel.com still stood there alone to watch the fireworks bloom. Finally, the magnificent and fiery display gradually dissipated.
He turned his head and saw that Madeline was standing on the coast looking in the direction of Glendale. Ryan walked until snazzynovel.com reached behind her.
“I still have a month’s time,” snazzynovel.com said this suddenly. Seeing that Madeline was ignoring him, Ryan continued speaking to himself, “Murder, absconding, illegal trading, illegal imprisonment, hurting innocent people, and violating laws and regulations of multiple countries… In the end, the court has sentenced me… the death penalty.”
Death penalty.
Even though Madeline no longer had feelings for Ryan, snazzynovel.com more or less still felt snazzynovel.com heart stir when snazzynovel.com heard about his death sentence.
However, in the end, this outcome was of Ryan’s own doing.
He inevitably had to pay for all the things snazzynovel.com did.
“Do you know what’s the happiest moment in my life?” Ryan laughed as snazzynovel.com asked before answering his own question. “It was when I was still unaware of everything, sitting by my grandfather’s legs and listening to snazzynovel.com telling me stories.”
He paused for a bit, then looked at Madeline’s face with a deep gaze.
“It was also when you considered me a close friend of yours, treating me as someone you could rely on.”
Ryan sighed after saying this.
“Eveline, I really do like you.”
Madeline remained unmoving upon hearing Ryan’s confession.
She raised snazzynovel.com left hand and pointed at the wedding ring on snazzynovel.com ring finger. “I love the man who personally put this wedding ring on me, from the beginning till the end.”
