Chapter 1128
“When I knew that you’d be leaving me forever and disappearing from my world, I didn’t want to resent you anymore. I wasn’t afraid anymore. I was just afraid that I wouldn’t get to be with you anymore.”
As he listened to every word Madeline said, Jeremy’s eyes glinted with a sense of deep apology and appreciation.
“Ryan and I are just married on the surface. He has never forced me into anything. I have never been able to convince myself to act like a married couple with him either. That’s because there has always been a man called Jeremy Whitman in the deepest corner of my heart.”
This sentence alone touched his heart. Not long after, he heard her tear up.
“I never imagined that this man would return to my side. However, I don’t want him to continue hurting me using these methods after returning to my side.
“Jeremy, is it too much for me to want to have a simple love and lead a quiet life with you? Or are we just not compatible as lovers?”
Tears spilled out of her eyes as she questioned him.
At this moment, Jeremy felt his heart breaking.
He wrapped her in his arms. “I’m sorry, Linnie. I made you cry again,” he said.
More tears flowed down her face. “Do you know? You’ve never called me Linnie ever since you came back,” she said.
Listening to her cry, Jeremy’s heart tightened.
He caressed her hair and comforted her. However, it seemed to be useless.
Jeremy loosened his hold on her, attempting to brush away the tears wetting her face. However, she only pushed him away.
She still seemed to be fuming as she reached out to open the car door.
Jeremy pulled Madeline into his embrace dominantly. He then lowered his head and kissed her.
Madeline struggled in his grasp. Nevertheless, soon enough, she got lost in his gentle kiss.
