‘Are you so disappointed in me that you don’t want to care about this?’
Countless questions appeared in Jeremy’s heart. He was so conflicted that it hurt.
Madeline, who seemed to see through what Jeremy was thinking, smiled and held Jeremy’s slightly stiff hand.
“I’ll be lying if I say I don’t mind, but this isn’t your fault. Carter was the one who had deliberately
done this. His goal was to cause a misunderstanding between us, but I won’t let him get what he wants. ”
Madeline’s heart was clear.
“Jeremy, we’ve been through far too much throughout this journey, and it’s been very challenging. It’s impossible for me to not feel the feelings you have for me up to this day. And that’s why I don’t want to let other people influence us. Just let time wash away those unhappy memories, okay?”
After listening to what Madeline had said, Jeremy was slightly moved.
His Linnie understood him, and instead of blaming him in any way, she still comforted him.
Jeremy, however, blamed himself even more after that. At the same time, his heart ached on Madeline’s behalf too.
Regardless, he also knew that they had to let this thing pass. Although he could not be that optimistic, he did not want to let this affect his relationship with Madeline.
It was extremely difficult and challenging for them to get to where they were today after all this time.
After a long while, Jeremy looked into Madeline’s eyes and nodded.
“Okay.”
“Okay.” Madeline patted Jeremy’s hand. “Alright, you should go play with your son. I need to go to the office.”
“I’ve wasted a lot of time in St. Piaf. I still haven’t finished the client’s customized perfume from the other day. I’ll be breaching the contract if I still don’t get it done.”
Madeline smiled. Before she turned around, she bent down and planted a soft kiss on Jeremy’s cheek. “Take good care of our son, and wait for me to come home.”
Jeremy’s heart started racing when he saw Madeline’s charming smile.
