Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1197

Chapter 1197

“Jeremy, don’t leave me.” Still in her drunken stupor, Madeline’s eyes were half-open and full of reluctance.

Jeremy held her hand. Madeline’s small pink face was reflected in his amber pupils.

He promised softly, “I’m not going to leave you.”

“You are.” Madeline’s eyes were hot. “You’ll leave me. You will…”

Jeremy was taken aback for a moment and suddenly did not know how he should respond.

Yes, it was true. He was going to leave her. At most, he had two years to stay with her and the children.

“Linnie.” Jeremy’s heart tightened.

Madeline’s eyes turned red as she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. “Don’t go. I don’t want to experience the feeling of losing you again.”

Jeremy gulped as an unignorable pain surged in his heart.

He stroked Madeline’s head to comfort her.

He then heard Madeline’s crying sobs. “During your absence for half a year, I thought you had left me forever. Every night after the kids were asleep, I’d just lay alone in bed in a daze. I didn’t know how I should live the rest of my life.

“Why did Cupid make two people who could not be together fall in love? Why…” Madeline muttered to herself as she hugged him in distress. Her voice was ridden with guilt. “Jeremy, don’t be angry with me. I didn’t mean to lie to you. I’m sorry…”

When Jeremy heard her apology to him, he felt worse.

Why did he have to get angry at her?

If he knew she had a reason, why did he have to make it hard for her?

Although Madeline was drunk and her mind was all over the place, she still knew very well that she had made Jeremy angry.

When Madeline saw that he was still not saying anything to her, she felt worse. She held his cheeks and met his deep-set eyes with a sullen gaze.

When she thought about Ryan’s exchange terms, she recalled the terrible poison that Adam created. She thought about not being able to save the guy in front of her and her tears started rolling down uncontrollably.

On the outside, she was strong, sharp, and never showed weakness when she met with trouble. However, when she was faced with the man she loved, she did not want to pretend to be strong anymore.
