Chapter 1038
Madeline was seated in Ryan’s car. Looking at the empty ring finger on her left hand, she inevitably remembered her separation and reunion with Jeremy over the years.
She was suddenly confused. In these years, had Jeremy ever really loved her?
Surely he had.
That was why he was able to protect her at all costs back then.
That was why when he had hugged her to sleep previously, he would show a pure childlike smile.
‘But Jeremy, what wrong step did we take that things have turned out this way between us…’
Her heart ached silently. Ryan stretched out his hand suddenly and gently held hers. He did not say anything and just gave Madeline a warm look.
“I want to make the wedding matters a little simpler. What do you think?” Ryan asked for Madeline’s opinion gently.
The Joneses were a famous family in Glendale. Now that Ryan was getting married, the wedding was bound to be a sensation.
Madeline thought that this might be the case because she had been married twice, got divorced twice, and had three children. Ryan’s father and mother would probably feel ashamed, so she wanted to keep a low profile. Hence, she just nodded in agreement. However, she then heard Ryan say, “That’s not what I meant. I’ve considered that you might return to Jeremy’s side in the future, so keeping a low profile would also be better for you.”
This answer surprised and moved Madeline, but it also made her feel guilty.
“Rye, I’m not being impulsive in wanting to marry you, neither is it to go against Jeremy.
“Maybe fate and timing are important. Jeremy and I have been going around in circles for so many years, and in the end, we’ve reached the point of severance. Perhaps this is my destiny as is his.”
There was some light in Madeline’s eyes again.
“I’m very grateful that God had me meet you when I was the most exhausted.”
Ryan smiled. “I’m very happy to be the shore when you finally want to anchor yourself and a haven for you to seek shelter from the wind.”
