Chapter 1158
Madeline met his furious gaze fearlessly. “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t hurt me? Then let me hit you!”
“…” Ryan was speechless. “I’m not Jeremy Whitman, Eveline. Reject me today and you’re throwing the only way to treat Jeremy out the window. Think carefully before you decide.”
Ryan let go and turned around. Walking past Madeline, he advised, “You have three days to look for me or you’ll never find Adam Brown. Jeremy has two years left.”
Chupse.
Madeline felt something stab through her heart.
Two years.
Madeline did not dare entertain the idea that she would lose Jeremy after two years.
Just as Madeline was about to lose herself in her heartache, she heard Jeremy’s voice sounding from the corner of the elevator. “How dare you come and look for Linnie?”
“Eveline is legally still my wife as far as our marriage certificate is concerned. What’s wrong with looking for her?” Ryan responded in seriousness for he knew that it would trigger Jeremy.
Instead of falling into a fit of rage, Jeremy smiled at him.
“A marriage certificate is just a piece of paper, Ryan. I’m sure you’re well aware of who Eveline’s actual husband is.”
Displeasure tinted Ryan’s expression. He was about to speak when Madeline suddenly walked over.
Without hesitation, she went to stand next to Jeremy and looped her arm with his, showing a sweet smile on her face. “Let’s not waste our time on people who don’t matter, sweetheart. Let’s go home.”
“Yeah, let’s go home.” Jeremy wrapped his arm around Madeline’s shoulders as they both walked into the elevator without sparing Ryan another glance.
Watching the elevator doors close, anger sparked in Ryan’s expression while his gaze remained calm.
“You’ll come looking for me, Eveline Montgomery. Unless you want him to die.”
