Chapter 233
Madeline could forget a lot of things in her life. She could forget the best moments of her life and the beautiful feeling she had when she was deeply in love with Jeremy, but she could never be unfamiliar with this thing in front of her for the rest of her life.
Dazed, she slowly reached out her hand to pick up the object that had fallen to the ground before placing it in her palm.
Looking at it, it was as if she could suddenly hear the sound of waves as well as the smell and the salty taste of the sea breeze. Even a boy’s gentle promise sounded in her ears, “Linnie, when I grow up, I’ll make you my bride…”
Yet, this promise was blown away by the breeze and ended up sinking to the bottom of the sea in the end. Things could never go back to that time again in this life…
“Linnie…”
Madeline stopped indulging in her walk down memory lane and looked toward Jeremy who was muttering.
He was still calling for Linnie.
However, the Linnie he was calling for was not her but Meredith—the vicious woman who he spoiled and loved without principles or limits.
Madeline glanced at the colorful shell in her hand and sneered coldly. She did not expect to see Jeremy still carrying the shell she had given to him when she was a child.
“Jeremy, why bother keeping this when you only have Meredith in your heart? The Linnie who had been waiting for you for more than ten years is dead now.”
Her hateful gaze brushed across his drunken face. Just as she was about to throw the colorful shell in her hand into the trash can, Jeremy grabbed her wrist all of a sudden.
“Linnie, don’t go. Please don’t go, okay…”
Madeline looked at the red-faced, drunken man who was sleep-talking. She felt ridiculed and flung his hand away.
“Jeremy, your beloved Linnie is putting on a show outside now. If you miss her so much, go look for her outside!”
After saying this indifferently, Madeline then left Jeremy on the sofa alone and left decisively with her bag.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a surprised smile on Meredith’s face. She was still standing in the rain, but when she discovered that the person who had opened the door for her was Madeline, her smile instantly disappeared. Her fierce gaze was glaring straight at her instead.
Madeline stared at Meredith with an indifferent look. She opened her umbrella and walked gracefully toward Meredith, curling up the corner of her beautiful lips slightly.
“Things really aren’t easy for you, Ms. Crawford. It hurts me to see you standing here in the rain for so long just to make Mr. Whitman change his mind.”
