Chapter 1650
“Jeremy, what’s wrong? What are you looking at?”
When Jeremy heard Madeline’s curious voice, Jeremy seemed to come back to his senses suddenly.
His long and thin fingers slid across the screen as though he did not want Madeline to see something. He immediately locked his phone and placed it into his pocket. He got up and walked toward Madeline with a gentle smile. Then, he grabbed her shoulder softly.
“Linnie, what did Mrs. Gray say to you?”
When he mentioned this, Madeline smiled. Her sweet dimples blossomed next to her lips as well.
“Guess.” She decided to keep him on tenterhooks.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s smile without blinking. He unconsciously lifted his hand to stroke her cheek. His charming and deep narrow eyes were filled with heartbreak.
“It’s been a while since I saw you smile like this.” He sighed with sorrow. That statement carried a lot of complicated emotions.
Madeline immediately understood how Jeremy was feeling right now. She placed her palm over the back of his hand lightly.
“I’ll keep smiling like this in the future. I know you’ll make me happy and blessed forever.”
When Jeremy heard that, he felt his heart turning sweet and bitter at the same time. She was so amazing and yet he only knew how to cherish her after so long.
After knowing how to cherish her, he was not able to protect her fully.
“Linnie.” Jeremy kissed Madeline’s lips and pulled her into his arms. However, this warm hug right now was not able to make him feel at ease.
They had gone through so many arguments and conflicts. At the same time, he also felt that a calm and peaceful life was hard to obtain.
“Jeremy, Carter agreed to cancel the marriage agreement with me. I won’t need to be restricted here soon.”
Jeremy’s wandering thoughts were brought back. “Did Mrs. Gray call you to say this?”
