Chapter 1189
When Jeremy felt her arms wrapped around him, he quickly turned around.
He saw Madeline holding him listlessly while bare-footed. He did not hesitate for a second before picking her up.
Madeline felt really sad, and with all of her remaining strength, she wrapped her arms around the man’s neck tightly as she buried her haggard face between his neck.
“Jeremy, don’t ignore me.”
Madeline’s voice sounded as if she was on the brink of crying, even sounding a little inferior just like how she was last time.
Jeremy felt the pain in his heart growing.
How could he bear to ignore her?
He wanted to comfort her, but all he heard was Madeline apologizing. “I know I was fierce to you just now, but I didn’t mean it.”
Jeremy stopped his steps, lowered his head, and kissed her on the cheek. He pressed his thin lips to her ears. “What nonsense are you talking about? How can I be angry with you? You don’t need to apologize to me. You haven’t done anything wrong.”
His gentle tone that was like a breeze of air washed over Madeline’s injured heart as she closed her eyes and weakly sank deeper into him.
“Then don’t go. Stay with me.”
“Okay, I’m not going anywhere.”
Jeremy promised, wanting to bring Madeline to the bed to sit. However, she only tightened her hug.
“I want you to hold me,” she requested in a coquettish tone that she had never used on him before.
Jeremy did not want to let go of her either, so he sat down on the bed with Madeline in his arms as he gently ran his warm palm and fingers through her long hair.
“Jeremy, I know you have a lot of questions, but you have to trust that no matter what I do, I’ll never hurt you.”
“Yeah, I know.” Jeremy nodded.
“Don’t go anywhere tonight, okay? Just stay with me here.”
